In class they learned about racism and unfairness, it made Hope emotional. Darlene called Hope bad words a lot. Hope saw beautiful boots at Next to New and wanted them. She thought of a point system, so she got a reward for dealing with Darlene being mean to her. Hope had been grinding her teeth and had lots of headaches. This year for her birthday Darlene gave Hope $25 to spend. She spent some and then went to go eat with the Next to New workers. Hope gave one of Darlene's dresses to Next to New. She misses the bus home and then starts to talk to Brody and ended up telling him about her mom. Her mom came and when Hope got in the car Darlene had her dress-the one hope gave to Next to New- Hope got grounded and couldn't work at Next to New and couldn't go to ODS anymore . Hope freaked out in class and went to the counselor and told her about Darlene. The counselor came to Hope's house and talked to her mom. Hope said she wasn't sure if her mom loved her and she wasn't sure if she loved her mom. She also said maybe i should go away. Her mom got sad and let Hope go to ODS. Darlene is taking parenting classes.
I thought this was a sad story because the mother bullied her daughter, but in the end it became happy because the mother learned to treat her daughter better.
