Answer 1

Why didn't Papa go after Charlie Simms? She had to clinch her fists and press her lips together to keep from losing her temper. Give evidence to show that it was hard for Cassie to be so nice to Lillian Jean.

After priming Lillian Jean for a month, Cassie tells her that she has a surprise in the woods that she wants to show her. Once she has Lillian Jean out of sight of the road, Cassie throws her books on the ground.

How does Cassie get her revenge on Lillian Jean Simms? Cassie pretends to "see how things are" and does everything for Lillian Jean. Eventually Cassie earns her trust and confides all her secrets to her. Cassie lures Lillian Jean to a field and beats her up, threatening to tell all her secrets.
