In Stargirl, for what three things is Hillari Kimble famous?

The
answer to this question can be found in chapter 4. In fact, the first sentence of chapter 4
tells readers the answer to this question:

At Mica Area
High School, Hillari Kimble was famous for three things: her mouth, The Hoax, and Wayne
Parr.

The narrator then goes on to explain each of the
three listed things. We are told that her mouth "spoke for itself." Hillari Kimble
loves to complain, and readers will get to see this throughout the text. It culminates when she
tellsthat Stargirl ruins everything. Hillari then slaps Stargirl.


Shortly after, as the Serenaders gratefully played Stardust, Hillari Kimble walked up
to Stargirl and said, You ruin everything. And she slapped her.


"The Hoax" happened Hillari's sophomore year of high school. She tried out
for the cheerleading squad, and everybody assumed it would be a decent fit.


Her face and hair and figure were right enough, and she surely had
the mouthshe made the squad easily.

Hillari then shocked
the entire school by turning it down. She said that she hated sports and had no intention of
jumping around screaming in front of empty bleachers.

Wayne Parr is her
boyfriend. She is famous for being the girlfriend of the school's resident
"hottie."

By both girls and boys standards,
Wayne Parr was gorgeous.

What's odd about Parr is that
he's only got his looks going for him. He doesn't play sports, doesn't join school clubs, hasn't
won any awards, and is not a great student. He's described as being quite apathetic about
everything.
