A character continually asks another character out, despite the fact that she has made it clear that she is not interested in dating him. He considers her to be "playing hard to get." There is later discussion of this harasser character having broken the arm of a previous girlfriend and getting away with it because his family is influential. Later, the harasser character forces a kiss on the character above while she is drunk at a party. The protagonist, her friend, punches him. The next day, the harasser character makes a non-apology that could be considered gaslighting, saying that they both had a lot to drink and there were "mixed signals." The climax of the book entails the harasser character bringing a gun to school to attack the character who rejected him. He corners her and calls her a cocktease. She is saved and no one dies. Presumably, the harasser character ends up in police custody because the protagonist records and broadcasts his threats to frame her in the shooting.
