When Enid was in eight grade, her parents, David and Adele Rollins, announced they were divorcing. Hurt, she began hanging out with a tough crowd and experimenting with drugs and alcohol. While driving under the influence of bennies, Enid and her boyfriend, George Warren, hit a boy who was playing in the street. The accident convinced Enid to stop the drug use. George was sent to a boarding school.

In sophomore year, Enid took Creative Writing class with Elizabeth Wakefield. Elizabeth's twin Jessica was the one who initially invited Enid to the Wakefields place and she was resented that Enid preferred Elizabeth's company to her own. After that, Jessica was not subtle about her disdain for Enid.

When Enid and Jessica were both nominated for Queen of the Fall Dance, Jessica used her past to sully her reputation, thus making her a shoo-in for the crown. Enid was horrified when her past was made public and initially blamed Elizabeth. However, George Warren returned to Sweet Valley around the same time and the two began dating. Enid and Elizabeth eventually patched things up.

When Amy Sutton came back to California from Connecticut, Enid tried to be-friend her. However, a jealous Amy did not want to share Elizabeth and tried (but failed) to drive a wedge between Enid and Liz. Enid and Elizabeth remained friends and Amy became close to Jessica.

When George took flying lessons, he fell for cheerleading co-captain Robin Wilson. After receiving his pilots license he took Enid for a flight, intending to break things off afterwards. However, they were involved in a crash that left Enid temporarily paralysed. When she recovered, George confessed that he was in love with Robin, leaving Enid devastated.

Tired of living in Elizabeth's shadow, Enid changed her image when she began college, making herself over and using her middle name, Alex. Much like Amy Sutton, Alex eventually became closer to Jessica than Elizabeth. However, she and Elizabeth patched their relationship up, although they weren't as close as they used to be.
