Not only was Trixie still grounded from the network post she made about Mare, but her latest progress report from school showed that her math grades were suffering. The school had suggested a tutor and connected them with a high school student. Trixie thought it was all stupid. Math was dumb and she had no idea when she would ever use it in real life.
Still, since she couldn't go anywhere or have friends over, at least it was something to do. So when the doorbell rang, she ran to get it, quickly hustling Melinda to her bedroom so no one would bug them. "We don't have to do work," she said. "I won't tell my mom."
