1. According to Melinda, in what two universes do the cheerleaders live?

From the text:

In one universe, they are gorgeous, straight-teethed, long-legged, wrapped in designer fashions, and given sports cars on their sixteenth birthdays. Teachers smile at them and grade them on the curve. They know the first names of the staff. They are the Pride of the Trojans. Oops—I mean Pride of the Blue Devils.

In Universe #2 , they throw parties wild enough to attract college students. They worship the stink of Eau de Jocque. They rent beach houses in Canciin during Spring Break and get group-rate abortions before the prom.
