Shelby Ence

Kinda goes to show you how she views people. This might have been meant to show how sassy and irreverent the character is, but all it really comes across as to me is her being so caught up in herself that she sees her friend selflessly offering to take her place because he cares about her as an attempt to get into her pants. For some reason. This interaction could have worked to establish Sara as emotionally intelligent without making her seem like kind of a bitch. The author could have made it clear that this guy was into Sara, and wanted to stay behind to save her, and Sara could have said no, not because she was, like, friendzoning him, but because she didn't want to take advantage of his feelings just so she could survive. I think it would have made her much more likeable right off the bat.
