Have just been reading End of Term and was struck by how vicious  Tim is to Nicola and how much it is not really ever explained why.  What has gone wrong since Autumn Term when Tim and Nicola seemed as good if not better friends to Tim and Lawrie?  I can see what Lawrie gets out of the relationship but what's in it for Tim? And what is going on in those conversations when Lawrie says she must talk to Tim - is Tim just nodding and sympathising and agreeing how awful Nicola is? if so, it doesn't sound much like the Tim we see the rest of the time...I am confused.

IIRC there's something in Autumn Term about Tim feeling that the people on whom she bestows her friendship shouldn't ask anything more of life. Maybe when she realises Nicola has made friends with Miranda, rather than either waiting for a little of Tim's spare attention or going all pathetic at her, Tim is jealous and/or angry?

Also, there's the form prefect thing in End of Term; Tim and Nicola have been prefects together before, so Tim is obviously popular enough to be elected, but when Crommie chooses, she's "not good enough". And there are Nicola and Miranda together again.
