Uddrag
Bethan’s towering presence and use of emotional blackmail makes Lucy feel like she is trapped. She is afraid to come clean about her situation.
Thus, when directly asked if Bethan is the one that influenced her to hit Penny, her former best friend, she gives a stern no, saying she hates Penny.
This is contradicted by Lucy’s own thoughts and feelings and the defense of Bethan is a way of proving herself to Bethan. The heart Lucy is drawing in the detention represents her emotional state.
