Linda -- Hate's a pretty strong word.
Andrea -- I do, Linda. I don't do anything to them. I try to be nice. Some of the girls act real snotty, but I don't. Do I? I didn't think I did.
Linda -- Do all of the boys pick on you?
Andrea -- No. Mostly it's Zack and his stupid group. 'Course the girls aren't much better. They call me worse names that the boys.
Linda -- Do you really think it's you they're picking on?
Andrea -- What do you mean? Do I think it's me? Of course it's me! They use my name,, they pull my hair, they knock over my books. Who did you think I was talking about?
