Lucy strikes as a rebellious person because she is in detention for hitting a girl named Penny Jones (p. 34, ll. 23-29) Lucy is almost the brainiest student at the school (p. 34, l. 37) and she is having nine o levels, she is very smart at school and she used to be a grade A student (p. 36, ll. 13-15). Her change of heart happened once she met Bethan, a rebellious girl who seems to have a bad influence on her. Lucy’s friendship with Penny ended simply because Bethan came between them (p. 35, ll. 3-6). In fact, Lucy does not hate Penny (p. 34, l. 44), but pretends to hate her in front of Bethan, who is unaware of her true feelings. Also, she seems to despise Simon Parle, her colleague who is in detention with her. When Mr. Paterson asks her what is she doing in detention “with the likes of Simon Parle” (p. 34, ll. 17-18), we get the impression that Bethan would be very proud to see her friend together with a rebellious and mischievous boy in detention. However, Lucy finds everything about Parle “disgusting” (p. 33, l. 9). Lucy’s mother is definitely against this friendship, something which Lucy ponders about. On the one hand, she wants to be Bethan’s friend; on the other hand, she is actually glad when her mother forbids her from seeing Bethan. She is easy to manipulate and she got manipulated by Bethan. She Is very good at drawing, and she is wearing a brown eyeliner at school, but her mom does not like her to wearing makeup. She don’t want to be teased.
