Annie presents herself as a powerful figure within the school community. Do you think she is really as influential as she claims, or its this merely schoolgirl egotism?

I think she might have had a certain influence but she struggles to separate herself from the school's influence. We can't help feeling that Annie is playing a game though. She tries to live a double life. In the classroom she is a perfect student and outside the classroom she rebells with parties and dirty stories. So one can only think that much of her egoism is part of her game or act.
