Chapter 5
Sandpiper is taking her English exam. She really enjoys English and likes her teacher. She is writing a poem as part of the exam. She is the last one finished and as she leaves the teacher encourages her to take Honors English next year. Sandpiper reveals that she doesn't think that she would do well in an Honors English class and tells the teacher that she is the reason she did so well in her class. The teacher tells her the Honors English teacher also writes poetry and that she thinks Sandpiper would like her. Sandpiper agrees to think about it. As she is leaving she runs into her former friends Melissa and Allie and is sad that they are no longer close. When she gets home her Mother is busy trying to figure out who is coming to the wedding. She questions Sandpiper about why Melissa wouldn't want to attend the wedding. Sandpiper also discovers that Rags (her Dad) is planning to bring Laura King to the wedding and that he is serious about her. Sandpiper reveals that she misses spending time with her Dad.
