Jennifer
Selina is Maxine’s best friend in high school. Unlike Jennifer, she is steadfast in staying by Maxine’s side and often speaks out against racism, going so far as to help Maxine report every instance of racism, no matter how small, that they encounter in school. However, Selina has bad asthma, and her occasional absences from school leave Maxine isolated.

That if my best friend wasn’t around, I preferred my own company. The realisation was enormous. It was sad, and tragic, and depressing. It was comforting, glorious, and freeing. It was bittersweet.
