"Obligations to your best friend I get it." Bo says shaking his head.

"I just...I don't know how." Bo sighs defeated.

"There is nothing I can do Mrs. Strate. If there was I would have done it already. I'm sorry but I've done all I can." The principal says. "Why not? Why can't you do anything?" Lizzy asks. The principal looks at her for a moment then sighs. "Ms. Davenport my hands are tied by the school board. My suggestion is that Kayle talk to her friends and people she knows to get some tutors but other than that there's nothing I could do. If there was a class with a cut back curriculum that caters to her needs I would put her there in a heart beat but we don't have the funds for that. All I can say is try to help her through all this." The principal says.

"Being a mother in high school is not easy yes I understand but...I can't have the teachers cut her too much slack. She's got to pick this up." The principal says.

"She doesn't trust me." Bo sighs.

"Mrs. Strate always a pleasure. Ms. Davenport...interesting change what can I do for you both?" The principle asks.

"If she did it'd be all my fault. I understand why you won't help me Daisy, you're her best friend. I just need some ideas and maybe a reason what I did wrong." Bo says.

"It'll get easier with practice." Lizzy says.

"I can only tell you so much Bo, search your heart it's got to come from you." Luke says. "My only words of advice to you Duke, you did it once I'm sure you can do it again. Now if you'll excuse me I've got places I need to be." Lizzy says. She hugs Daisy and smiles at Luke before nodding to Bo and leaving the house.

Soon her homework is done.

"Then help him. But I won't sit around twiddling my thumbs waiting for him. He's got his work cut out for him. I'm sorry Daisy but...that's just the way I feel." Lizzy says.

"We'll work it out Kayle. For now let's finish this homework." Lizzy says.

"He should know how he has to prove it." Lizzy says.

"Daisy you should talk to him." Lizzy says. "This isn't Kayle's fault. She's missed so much and she needs to check up but she needs help maybe they can give her a couple tutors or something."

"This had better not be your fault." Lizzy says looking at Bo then back to Daisy. "What's wrong sweetie?"

"You have to calm down and cut back. Don't let it all pile up like this. Maybe we can talk to the principle again." Lizzy says.

"You're more confident. What happened?" Luke asks. "He doesn't want me. It's his loss. I'm gonna make him regret ever messing with my heart." Lizzy says.

"It happens. So lets see what we can do about this homework." Lizzy says.

"What?" Lizzy says.

"Yes my niece, what do you need to know?" Lizzy says to Daisy. "Spanish and math are my strong points your mom was always better at science."

"Hey." Lizzy answers tossing her hair out of her face seeming ten times more confident than she was just a few short hours before.

"¿Sí mi sobrina, qué querría usted saber?" Lizzy asks.

"Sounds like Lizzy." Luke says. True enough Lizzy walks through the door.
