quotation

"My heart was pounding and my face was hot with humiliation, but I maintained my icy control and survived the ceremony"(Bowsher 37).


Reaction

The whole school use to be her friend, the guys wanted to date her and the girls wanted to be her. She had all the friends she could ever want in the world, or so she thought. Now that Ashley needed them the most they all deserted her. They talked about her behind her back and pretend to not know her. This just shows that one must know who your true friends are. When the story of her mother came out no one bothered to asked her for her side of the story they all believed the roomers. This book teaches you that your true friends are the ones that stick with you through thick and thin.
