for each quote, paste the red flag if this is a bad
relationship sign, or a green flag if this is a good
relationship sign.
\in my homeroom, when the announcement came over the pa about
stargirl winning the district title, i was about to let out a cheer, but i
caught myself. several people booed.\
\she was bendable light; she shone around every corner of my day.
she taught me to revel. she taught me to wonder. she taught me to
laugh.\
\she looked magnificently, wonderfully, gloriously ordinary. stargirl
had vanished into a sea of them, and i was thrilled.\
\she gave me her smile of infinite kindness and understanding, the
smile i had seen her aim at so many other needy souls, and in that
moment i hated her.\

Explanation:

1. The first quote shows the narrator hiding positive feelings for Stargirl to fit in with others who are unkind, which is a bad sign of prioritizing peer approval over their genuine connection.
2. The second quote describes Stargirl bringing joy, wonder, and positivity to the narrator's life, which are all healthy, good relationship signs.
3. The third quote reveals the narrator is happy Stargirl has become "ordinary" to blend in, showing he values conformity over her unique identity, a bad relationship sign.
4. The fourth quote shows the narrator feeling hatred toward Stargirl for her kind nature, which is a toxic, negative reaction in a relationship, a bad sign.
