Basically, Claudia is a celebrity in seventh grade because she’s one year older than the kids.--I'm gonna have to bullshit this all the way around. Or maybe I'm just used to asshole kids that'd make fun of people for any reason

Basically, Claudia is a celebrity in seventh grade because she’s one year older than the kids.
Back then, it wasn't rare to have a kid start kindergarten at the age of 6, or be held back a grade. Someone being a year older isn't a big deal.
Seventh graders are such dorks and not one of them are as cool as she is and they all know it. She’s actually saying this.
Did she forget that Mal and Jessi are younger than that?
Everyone is wearing what Claudia wears.
They couldn't do that when she was in 8th grade because...?
Claudia never has to eat lunch alone because people actually fight each other to sit at her table.
Since when was seating by grade at that school?
Claudia is also keeping up with her reading and remembering things after she takes a test.
This makes it sad when she's bumped back up. She's getting 7th grade stuff now, but while she's doing that, she's missing the stuff 8th graders are learning, which will start her off behind.
The eighth grade is holding a separate dance. That would be extremely stupid

Claudia probably secretly thinks Mal and Jessi are dorks. I think she and Stacey already think they're superior to Mary Anne and Kristy for liking boys earlier. And I think that the sixth and seventh grade have one dance and the eighth grade has a separate one. I'm not sure. And my middle school did have a prom for the eighth grade.
*Claudia does apologize to Mallory and Jessi, but she says it’s clear they don’t understand what she’s going through. They have no idea what it’s like to not fit in.*
Yes, Claudia, I'm sure the freckled redheaded glasses-wearing bookworm and the black ballerina who moved from another town have NO CONCEPT what "not fitting in at school" feels like.
