When Maureen and Diana enter the girls room before the shooting starts.. is there some meaning behind the blond girl who comes in Diana's way?
I think I killed the moon.
I think it meant that the girl was finished either pooping, peeing, changing her pad/tampon, fixing her hair & makeup or all of the above and decided to leave the bathroom and go to class. It just so happend the other chicks were on their way in as she was on her way out.
If you're under 25 please let me know so I won't waste my time debating serious issues with you.
Um thanks..that was a sarcastic way of putting it but thank you, nonetheless.
and is that your signature or is it directed at me?

Diana says "sorry" to the girl trying to get by her to go out into the hallway, "exactly" what Maureen said when she blocked the gym teacher in the doorway to the locker room where Diana was smoking at the start of the movie.
Those are the first two scenes in the film, yet they essentially bookend the time-line of the story; which begins in the locker room and ends in the rest room. The edit jumps you forward from the locker room incident to this scene months later outside the rest room. During the actual passage of those months Diana matured and developed a conscience, which the author essentially credits to her friendship with Maureen.
Since the film's friendship dynamic is about both girls giving something of themselves to each other, I think it was just a simple or symbolic way to illustrate the extent to which that process had completed each of them by that point. Maureen protected Diana in the locker room and Diana would decide to protect Maureen in the rest room.
Maybe it's there to indicate the randomness of life, like if the timing on that day is a little different then the first girl gets shot in there and they don't. Something like that. I think that makes more sense than any other explanation.
