Novel Hopes/Predictions

I want this novel (Fish In A Tree) to end by Shay confessing why she's so mean or finding out why. I'd also want to find out all the secrets and backstory behind a character, like Travis who is doing bad in school. Another thing I would prefer is Albert standing up those kids who keep beating him up before the novel end, having a happy ending to the book leaving everything explained instead of ending with half my questions unanswered.
