By the end of this chapter, Josie talks about how she wishes she was in Poison Ivy's world and how she wanted to belong.

"The world of sleek haircuts and upper-class privileges. People who know famous people and lead educated lives. A world where I can be accepted."

This is the upper-class white world that Josie wants to be part of. It is also including her crush, John Barton. "Poison Ivy" is a euphemism for her rival Ivy.
