[LaLaLand]

I think that Shabby sees so much of a resemblance in character between herself and Ben that it causes her to block him out and attack him.

It's already know how Shabby came from a highly priviledged childhood background and 'rebelled' by joining the art group and gaining the lifestyle she now leads.

Perhaps Ben was the sort of person Shabby associated with prior to her "class rejection" and feel that she needs to repress his "type" and keep as far away as possible, rejecting him at any given occasion.

Just my opinion, anyone agree?
