Quote #4
He told me how to know which side to go to (you sort of watch where the boy is going and then you fit in). Then we did a bit of movement and he told me what do to with my hands (waist is safest). (3.355)
This is Georgia's kissing lesson with Peter. During this physical expression of sexuality, Peter takes the reins and shares his ideas about sexuality with Georgia. He's somehow the expert at this kind of stuff, and since Georgia doesn't know any better, she believes him. This shows how little she trusts her own interests, though.
Quote #5
Jas looked as if she was about to cry again so I put my arm round her. Then I took it away quickly—I don't want to start the lesbian rumor again. (4.442)
A rumor spreads around that Georgia is a lesbian. After this rumor is forgotten about, though, Georgia still feels insecure. She is an insecure person in general, but it's usually evident in how she feels about her physical appearance, so this moment is a bit of a change.
Quote #6
Miss Stamp was amazed—she usually has to prod us and shout at us to get us to change at all in winter. She came and looked at us in the shower in amazement. Then we remembered she is a lesbian. So we ran screaming out of the shower.
It's a bloody nightmare of pervs, this school. (4.499-500)
So Georgia's not the only one making rash judgments about sexuality—it's also her peers. Ugh.
