Student Question
What day was Stargirl scheduled to appear on Hot Seat?
Quick answer:
Stargirl was scheduled to appear on Hot Seat on February 13th, the day before Valentine's Day, during her sophomore year. The show, produced by students, features on-screen interviews conducted by Kevin, while Leo handles finding interesting guests. Despite Leo's initial reluctance to feature Stargirl due to his growing respect for her, Kevin eventually schedules her, allowing them ample time to promote her much-anticipated interview.
Stargirl was scheduled to go on the Hot Seat show on the day before Valentine's Day (February 13th) of her sophomore year.
As Leo, the narrator, explains in Chapter 1, Hot Seat is a television show produced for and by students. Leo and his best friend Kevin work on the show together; it's Leo's job to find interesting students to sit for an on-screen interview with Kevin, the host of the show. With Stargirl's odd yet captivating behavior causing a flurry of interest all throughout school, she was the perfect choice to be featured on the show. But as Leo starts to like and respect Stargirl, he's reluctant to put her on display like that. Kevin gets exasperated with Leo and doesn't understand why he won't schedule Stargirl for her Hot Seat interview.
By Chapter 10, Kevin has scheduled Stargirl himself for the show. It's about the middle of January when she's agreed to go on the show, and since Stargirl's appearance is still about a month away, the boys have plenty of time to plan their "promotional campaign" to build interest in Stargirl's interview.
