Catcher in the Rye- Chapter 3

Holden turns out to be a very good liar. He leaves Spencer's and goes straight home. He didnt have anything in the gym. He gets to the dorm and starts reading a book he has already read. While reading, he is disturbed by his neighbor, Ackley. In the dorms, there is a shower in between every two rooms. Ackley is a senior nobody really likes. He has terribele pimples and weird teeth. He asks Holden if his parents knew he was being kicked out of school and Holdne says no. Holden's roommate, Stradlater, walks in the saying he had a date and wanted to wear Holden's jacket for the night. Stradlater needed to go shave before he went on his date so he left the room.

Stradlater seems like the guy who could be very nice, but could also be very mean. He seems like he could take people for granted. Ackley seems like an annoying person, but I think he could an ok guy. Why doesnt Ackley get along with Stradlater? Did something happen in the past?
