Going to put thoughts under spoiler instead of tags for once. So first of all I love the (in my opinion) accurate dialogue of the trio. Like, Sophia doesn't really talk with anyone but Emma. She doesn't even mention Madison once - In her view, it's only Emma that *gets her*, and she puts up with all of Emmas hanger ons. Perhaps because it's better to be on the top of a social hierachy than in the bottom. Meanwhile, Emma is the top, and she has a desperate need to put others down (Taylor) to stay sane - Sophia's her bff, the one she's built her foundation upon, her secret-sharer. She'll play the role of the popular girl for it's own sake, socializing but not actually caring about any of the hanger ons. (her interlude's so ... sad and pathetic)

As for sexualities.... in an alternate world Emma's the protagonist of some GL manhwa where she fucks around with girls despite not actually being gay. Like, there's no hint of sexuality one way or another in her interlude - no romantic interest in sophia or any other girl or boy expressed. Kind of empty. But if necessary for status or security she'd be able to string along anybody. Sophia? Sophia's lonely as hell. And in my opinion - she's a very, very repressed lesbian. She's dismissive and offended at the naive innocence "childishness" of her teammates/schoolmates - but she repeatedly tries to reach out to Vista and Fletchette! It's clumsy and she's bad at it and they all piss each other off, but she doesn't even try with any of the boys.
