Sade and Femi keep getting bullied by their classmates at school, but they are doing exceptionally well in terms of their class work. This girl named Marcia is the leader of a group of girls, which are the ones who bully Sade the most. Sade finally finds a friend in a girl named Miriam, who is a refugee from Somalia. They stick together and help each other through the bullying tactics of Marcia and her gang. "Sade hung down her head, wainting. She was aware of the other students taking out their books and she ignored Mariam's nudgings to do the same" (136). This is an example of Marcia trying to get Sade to stand up to one of Marcia's sinister plans to embarass Sade in front of the whole class and the teacher.
It is also depressing to see Sade and Femi have to live in the foster home. Although they are under good care, they are away from their family so they have no way of contacting their father. Hopefully, the children will get a hold of Uncle Dele and then eventually be reunited with their father.
