A (Very Much Shortened) Explanation About the Murrays and Phillip Parks

On Cassie's blog, her family hates another family called the Murrays. The Murrays have five children:
Mikey
Mark
Matt
Xander
Zack

This blog mainly focuses on Xander.

The Carson and Murray hostility began when Cassie's older sister, Lillian, and Mikey Murray were in school together. They were fierce competitors for the top grade, and eventually one "win" and a retaliation led to hatred.

Who is Phillip Parks?

Phillip Parks is Cassie's rich, spoiled neighbor. They grew up together, and he annoys her to no end. He is always hanging around her. Cassie's parents would like it if she would marry Phillip because they think Phillip is a very nice boy.

Cassie does not like Phillip Parks.
