That's perfect. Breslin would've been there too, because he thought skating made him seem like a "rebel". He would've smoked there too. She could've come to his house to hang.
I recently read Little Fires Everywhere and there's a girl in there (I forget her name and don't feel like looking it up) who spends all her time at this other family's home not to escape her Mom, but because she just wants to. She's also envious of their life. Anyways, she develops really close knit relationships w/ the kids -- they're all the same age -- and I'm kinda getting that vibe from them.
