Chapter: Chapter 42
↓ Transcript
Teacher: I see what you're saying. Thank you for raising your concerns. I do understand it's a sensitive issue. I am going to give you detention because I still don't appreciate your language or tone. Also, these friends you're concerned about...
Emily: Oh, they don't go here. But they could, is the point.
Teacher: ... Why has your friend seen so many suicides?
Emily: He works in emergency services.
Teacher: Oh, I see. Well... get back to your seat. You can come see me at lunch for your detention.
Emily (pulling out her chair): So what are we supposed to be doing?
Zoe: Mind maps for brain-storming ideas and connecting themes in the poems.
(On Emily's workbook, Zoe has written:) You didn't say anything about me, did you?
