The fact that no one in Adaines life seems to know that she's struggling financially She hasn't told Jawbone, because he would immediately try to do anything in his power to help. And she doesn't want to put that strain on him. Because she's aware that he's already got so many other things on his plate. He's got so many kids to take care of, a job to manage. She hasn't told her teacher, because she's afraid of the repercussions, what if it means she can't take the class anymore. She couldn't bring herself to tell Oisin, even when he noticed, and when he offered to help. Her friends don't even know the extent of it. When she and fabian are panic talking about Oisin and Ivy Fabian retorts "Doesn't he know how rich you are??!" She cannot even bare to tell her friends of her situation. And I am suddenly reminded of myself a little bit, as I am with pieces of all The Bad Kids. How I hesitated to bring over friends to specifically my dads house. Even though there was nothing wrong with the place, technically, it was just never as nice as theirs. How I've grown up so conscious of how much everything costs, and picking up on how much you must spend, to live. (My family's never been on the brink of being on the streets or anything, but we've struggled) It's heartbreaking, as someone who's grown up acutely aware of it, watching Adaine have to learn it, in real time. I really hope she lets someone help soon. She deserves it
