Summer nods .She didn't know what it was like to have horrible parents but she knew she would hate it as much as Alice. "You do well putting up with them." Summer replies. "I hope that they don't make you leave i would miss you soooo much!." Summer gives Alice a quick hug.

Alice gave a small, gentle smile. "I'd miss you too," she said. "Which is why I argued so badly with my parents about this. School is about the only place where I feel free." 

The girl returned Summer's hug, before adding: "I just wish I could eat all my troubles away," she said forlornly.
