Answer: Atticus will be mean to her

Explanation: In Chapter 18, Mayella testifies. She is young. She is described as “somehow fragile-looking” and “a thick-bodied girl accustomed to strenuous labor.” When she first begins testifying, she starts crying because she is afraid Atticus will be mean to her.
