when Elena told her mother that she was going to a friend's house to study, she explained that she knew where she was going and she also said "you are heading for humiliation and pain"
Elena was determined to find out Eugene's class schedule. She bumped into him on "accident". I think that's a little to much.
respect: at the end, Elena thought more about Kennedy's death than about herself.
