Angie Steadman

"This place is an intellectual wasteland."

—Angie Steadman

Angie Steadman is a character that appeared exclusively in the movie. She is a seventh grader who works for the school newspaper. Much like Greg and Rowley, she dislikes middle school. Throughout the school year, Angie gives Greg and Rowley information about the workings of middle school, which she believes was created to store kids while they make the awkward transition between children to teenagers.

Angie seems to be quite intelligent, judging from what she says, and also because she likes to read. Greg first meets her when she is avoiding sports by reading a book underneath the public benches by the sports field. She is also involved with publishing the school paper, explaining the camera, and asks Greg if he wants to help with it. Greg replies that he intends to be 'in' the paper a lot, not 'on' the paper. This later proves true when Angie takes a photograph of Greg being pinned down by Patty Farrell during wrestling which later appears on the paper's front page.

At the end of the movie, Angie tells Patty that middle school will end one day, and then progress to high school, and then life, and that nothing she cares about now will be such a big thing. She tells her this after Patty brattingly tells her "here's your yearbook, you're not in it that much, so try to get around more next year" Angie is really similar to Holly Hills but she does not appear in the second film.

Trivia

• Angie is not a character in the book series, and is the only main character not visible in the books. Before the film was announced, many people believed that Angie was a remake or renaming of Holly Hills, but it was later announced that she was a character created exclusively for the film.
• It might be the only reason Angie doesn't make a part in the book is because of Greg not really liking her or wanting to be her friend.
• Even though she seems to be intelligent, she mocks the school for being an "intellectual wasteland," and comes up with rumors about the works of middle school that are false. This could be that she is not fond of the school itself, rather than school as a whole.
