Rodrigo is a student at Osborne High. He’s David Ware’s best friend—which makes it even more cruel when he becomes David’s third murder victim. Rodrigo is an intelligent computer whiz, though he’s also an underachiever and rather immature for his age. Though he used to be an internet troll (he’d harass female gamers on internet forums), he now feels ashamed of his behavior and struggles to make up for his past misogyny. The night of Rodrigo’s murder, he’s home alone playing video games while his parents are in Las Vegas celebrating their wedding anniversary. While Rodrigo sleeps, David Ware sneaks into the house and gaslights Rodrigo, rearranging all the furniture in Rodrigo’s living room. Chillingly, after David murders Rodrigo, he sticks around for hours and plays video games next to David’s corpse. Alex has a crush on Rodrigo, and his death devastates her. Rodrigo’s murder changes the town’s perspective on the Osborne slayings. While the first two victims were popular, ambitious teens who stood out among their peers, Rodrigo was completely average; his murder showed people that anybody could be the Osborne Slayer’s next victim.

Quotes
Their usual breakfast was whole-wheat toast or a bowl of fiber cereal. Makani didn’t need to ask why the change. Pancakes kept her grandmother occupied while they waited for information. Pancakes gave her a task to do with her hands in a world that seemed more and more out of her control. And pancakes showed Makani that, even though the world was frightening, she was loved.
Chapter 13
Quotes
Social boundaries were being crossed everywhere. Students still ate with their own kind, but each group sat a little closer to the other groups, and they weaved in and out of one another’s conversations. They were all talking about the same thing, anyway. It was sad that people only got along when everybody was unhappy.
