Tally and Shay met in the dystopian world of Scott Westerfeld's "Uglies." They first encountered each other in the city of Uglyville, where they bonded over their shared experiences of being "ugly" and their anticipation of the upcoming transformation into "pretty." Their friendship deepens as they navigate the societal pressures and challenges of their world, ultimately leading them to question the values of their society together.
Shay is angry with Tally because she feels betrayed when Tally turns her in to the authorities. Shay had trusted Tally with her secret plan to escape to the Smoke, and she feels betrayed when Tally goes back on her word. Additionally, Shay is frustrated with Tally for choosing to conform to society's expectations rather than supporting Shay's desire for freedom and independence.
