History
Season 1
Angelina is introduced as a friendly girl who helps the newly enrolled Savannah Reed around school. Angelina then introduces Savannah to her best friend, Genevieve Ryan. The two of them then discuss to her about how horrible the most popular girl in the school, Brooklyn Hayes, has been to them. Savannah protests this and doesn't believe them saying that Brooke is the sweetest girl on the planet, as she's known her since childhood. After being accused of being jealous by Savannah, Lina and Genny become upset and begin to ignore her. This doesn't last long, though. They are quick to forgive Savannah after she apologizes to them. Savannah, however, still doesn't believe her new friends' rumors about Brooke. At lunch, the both of them let her talk to Brooke and let her find out the truth for herself, only to be confused why Savannah then walks off with Brooke into the hallway.
The next day at school, Lina and Genny compliment Savannah's simple outfit saying it's "totally fab". Brooke, along with her friends Rachel Rivera and Alicia Hamilton, then come along and insult the three of them. After they leave, Savannah apologizes to her friends again for not believing them and they forgive her once more.
Angelina soon offers to take Savannah shopping and tells her she'll pay, noticing she's in need of a better wardrobe as well as a makeover. The next day, Lina is seen waiting in her father's car with Genny and Scorpius, her chauffeur, in front of Savannah's house. After they arrive at the mall, Lina and Genny ask Savannah what her mom said about her getting a makeover. She tells them she's only allowed to dye her fur red, leaving Genny slightly disgusted at the idea. Lina, on the other hand, thinks they can make it work by adding highlights. The girls spend the day picking out new clothes and eventually end up giving Savannah her makeover. Lina mentions that Savannah looks like a babe.

Lina and Genny are excited to see the new Savannah at school a day later. Everyone in the school is shocked to see her new look. Brooke then comes to make fun of Savannah again. Lina and Genny watch Savannah and Brooke as they throw insults at one another. Savannah ends up winning after Brooke's boyfriend, Sage Bond, comes over to her and Brooke begins to kiss him, giving Savannah and her friends a chance to escape the argument. Lina tells Savannah that no one has ever stood up to Brooke before and that Brooke now has some competition with Savannah, saying she can be the one to bring her down and become the most popular girl in the school instead. That night, Lina has a call with Genny and Savannah. Savannah tells them that she has a crush on Sage and Lina tells her she should go for him.
Lina continues to cheer Savannah on with Genny agreeing that she should go for Sage, them both being certain that Sage likes her back, especially at lunch, after Savannah was partnered up with him for an English project and invited him to her house to work on it together. However, Lina notices that Savannah hasn't been eating much and Genny agrees. Savannah tells them she had a big breakfast and they let her off the hook. Brooke comes once again, this time to insult Savannah's weight and calls her a wiener-dog. Lina and Genny try to defend their friend but Savannah runs off crying. After they catch up to her, they see her looking into a mirror still in tears and try to encourage her by telling her she doesn't need to lose weight.
The next morning, Lina along with Genny ask how Savannah's homework with Sage went. She tells them it was fun then notices him by his locker and her two friends tell her to go talk to him. After she comes back, Lina is excited to hear that Sage is coming over to Savannah's house again. Sage then comes up to Savannah and shocks all three girls by acting completely different now and says that he'll be busy for the whole month and walks away, leaving the girls confused, except for Savannah, who knows this was Brooke's fault. Brooke herself then walks over and asks Savannah if her "rash" has gotten any better and embarrasses her in front of the whole school by saying her goal was to kiss all the boys on the football team. Savannah runs off angered and in tears as Lina and Genny follow her, worried, but aren't able to find where she ran off to, soon locating her by hearing her crying behind a vending machine. After she refuses to go class where everyone would stare and talk about her, Genny asks Lina if they'll go to the "usual place", which turns out to be the school storage room. They talk about Brooke and Savannah tells them she knows that it's her fault for making Sage act the way he did and makes a promise not to let Brooke get to them no matter what she does and to compete and overthrow her once and for all.
Genny notices that the problem with Sage is still bothering Savannah and Lina reminds her of the promise. Everyone at school still continues to gossip about Savannah. Lina tells her they'll forget all about it soon and offers lunch. While both girls still try to persuade Savannah to eat more, she insists to stick with her salad and runs off saying she's going to the bathroom.

Savannah shows up the next day acting completely different, not letting anyone's insults get to her and instead replies to them with witty responses. Lina and Genny mention that they like the "new Savannah" and the way she was acting reminded them of Brooke, but better. Savannah and Genny then leave for English class. After class, Lina is surprised to hear that Savannah has been invited to sit at the football players' table at lunch, but when they get there Savannah sits with Tom Dawson and Genny with Nathan Campbell while Lina doesn't have a boy to sit with. After lunch, the girls see Brooke talking to Tom. Lina soon mentions how flirty Savannah has gotten with him.
Lina begins to feel left out while her friends get caught up in their popularity and is nowhere to be seen with them at school. She's then seen studying in Savannah's room while her friends discuss each other's looks and offer to do Lina's makeup too but she refuses.

The next day, Savannah tells Lina that she dislikes her scarf, only to be interrupted by Brooke who comes over once again to tell Savannah to stay away from her boyfriend. Soon at lunch, the girl's sit at the football players' table and Lina is left out once again, not knowing who she should sit with. She was not there to witness Tom asking Savannah out, kissing her or when Brooke fell off the table into a tray of chocolate with Sage.

The next day at school, Savannah tells Lina and Genny that she feels bad that Tom is gone and she never got to apologize to him.

A couple of days later, Lina is at Genny's house and Genny gets a call from Savannah who got suspended from school. Savannah tells them that someone called her using a voice changer, telling her they would break her up with Sage. Savannah thinks it's Brigitte, seeing as how she walked in on her and Sage with their snouts practically touching and that Sage called her a "biatch". Lina tells her that he's a jerk and that there's more to life than boys that don't respect her. Genny decides to tell something to Savannah that's happened at school but never gets the chance to finish and is cut off as Savannah's mom comes back and takes the phone from her.
The next morning, Lina sees Genny packing up early from the sleepover and she tells her that Nathan invited her over. Lina says that they hardly spent any time together and that she spent most of her time texting Nathan. Genny tells her that when she gets a boyfriend then she'll understand what relationships are like and that she's waited years for Nathan to like her. Lina understands and they both hope Savannah can come to their next girl's night. Genny tells Lina that they have to prepare her before she goes back to school.
Lina then gets a call from Genny who is in tears, telling her that she broke up with Nathan and that he only wanted to do more than hold her paw. Lina tells Genny that she saw this from a mile away and should have listened to her. They both get upset and angry, they hangup on each other.
Lina is later seen again in her room, reading on her bed. She gets a text message saying from someone who she nicknamed with a cat emoji. Immediately after, she gets a call from Savannah which surprises her. She asks her if she's okay and that she missed her. Savannah tells her that she's not grounded anymore. She then offers to put Genny on the line because of what she needs to tell the both of them. Lina stammers and says that Genny might be busy with Nathan, unable to tell Savannah about the fight she previously had with her friend. Savannah continues and tells Lina about her suspension being over. Lina sounds nervous as she reveals to Savannah that Brooke had spread rumors to almost everyone at school about her trying to attack and attempt to kill her and that she has rabies. She says that she tried to tell everyone the truth but that they had wanted to believe gossip instead. Savannah tells Lina that she saw it coming and Lina reassures her that it'll blow over. Savannah then says she has to go and Lina asks her if there was anything else she wanted to say but Savannah says it's nothing and that she's just been sick. Lina then says a farewell to her and hangs up.
