Both main characters in the stories, Seventh Grade and Stargirl behave in ways intended to impress the popular student.
In his short tale "Seventh Grade," Gary Soto describes how seventh-grader Victor tries to win over and be friendly with Teresa, a girl he likes. He admitted that Teresa was going to be his girl this year and that all of his actions, including enrolling in French class, were done to win her over. Similarly, Leo Borlock, a lovestruck character in Jerry Spinelli's "Stargirl Caraway," also aspires to impress Stargirl, a well-known student at their Mica High School. He was obsessed with her and would stop at nothing to obtain her attention.
In both stories, Seventh Grade and Stargirl, the fictional Victor and Leo worked their hardest to amuse, impress, and get to know and like the girls they liked. Additionally, they are unsure of where they stand, which is another problem.
