Jane was forced to come home when she got hungry. There's no food at the playground after all. Constance was not pleased.
"Where have you been! You can't just wander around town all day! your principal called me, you skipped class! Why do you smell like a pigsty?? You will get your act together this instant! Clean yourself up and do your homework or NO DINNER!"
"I hate you!"
"Homework. Now."
"It's important to get good grades. How are you going to be successful at anything?"
"Your idea of success isn't mine....."
After school the next day Jane went straight to Meadow's house.
"My mom says I have to come here after school so I won't get into trouble."
"She's mean and I hate her!"
Meadow was very concerned about Jane's and Constance's relationship and decided to intervene. What kinds of things do youi have for her at home? Are you still shareing a room? Does she have her own space? Maybe if you baught her something appropriate for her age she wouldn't be so angry with you"
Thank goodness for Meadow's advice. Tempers around the house have cooled off a bit/
