A lot
of this answer is highly dependent on which "other people" it is asking about, and it
depends on when in the story it is referring to as well. For example, Leo Borlock is fairly
consistent in his liking of ; however, his thoughts about her do change. When Stargirl first
shows up, Leo finds her oddities somewhat endearing. He is definitely curious about her, and
that is why he follows her around aimlessly that one day. Leo eventually moves into full-on
puppy love with Stargirl. He is in his own romantic wonderland with her.
Leo's thoughts about Stargirl contrast sharply with those of Hillari Kimble. Hillari
hates Stargirl through and through, and she is downright nasty to Stargirl throughout the entire
book. Readers are not told why she hates Stargirl so much. Perhaps it is because she is just a
flat-out mean person, but it could also be because Hillari feels threatened by all of the
attention that Stargirl gets.
If this question is asking about the general
population of the school, then those thoughts are all over the place. At first, the school
thinks of Stargirl as nothing more than an oddity; however, they will eventually fully embrace
her quirks and almost universally love Stargirl. But then these feelings eventually wane, and
the general student population turns on Stargirl and ostracizes her.
