Lone Wolves- often angry; they think of themselves as protesters and rebels
Weirdos- This group includes the Zombies, kids who stare straight ahead and give back nothing. The chew bits of their stringy hair and fixate, non-blinking, on a dirt spot on the carpet while a fire is behind them, fingernail-biters and scratch themselves; unpredictable and most dangerous
1. Willow had not told her parents she had been assigned to a counselor because she wanted them to think the school year was going well. She felt guilty because she had erased the message about the test results from her parents voicemail and hacked her mother's e-mail to respond to the principal's message that she needed counseling.

2. Willow decides to go back to see Dell Duke after their first meeting. Read the following quote:
