Isn't the fact she hardly recognised evidence of how much her head is up her ass about him? The way he talks, they used to be up against each other a lot. He said she's the reason he had to join the cheerleading squad, because it was the only avenue he had to lead performances and he wanted something on his academic record if he went to some theatre school he wanted in New York. But he had to give up that because he didn't have anything to put down. I think he has a right to be bitter if she's standing there like she hardly even recognises who he is.
