There are a lot of conflicts in this story. Angela is forced to move to California by her parents, no questions. Once she gets there she is very miserable and has no friends. Angela’s dad’s boss’s daughter, Glendy, follows her around school. Glendy tries to be nice to Angela, but Glendy is very annoying. Angela tries to ditch her, but she just keeps on coming back every time.
Doug and Zoey are now dating. At first Zoey didn’t tell Angela that they were going out. When Angela found out, she didn’t hear it from Zoey. She was very mad at Zoey and started not to talk to her. They made up after a few days and they were back to normal. Before, Zoey was uncomfortable with doing stuff with Doug, even though Doug wasn’t pressuring her. She was very nervous and scared anyways. After Maddie dared her to do all of those crazy things, Zoey is feeling better about getting out of her comfort zone or her “bubble”.
Next, we have Maddie’s problem with Clive. Clive is a stoner boy that basically make out with multiple girls. He doesn’t have like a set girlfriend. He also has smoked pot most of his whole life. So when they are hanging out Whittney also comes along too. Supposedly Clive and Whittney are going out, but he does not treat her like it.
Zoey’s parents are out of her house for the night. She decides to cook dinner for Doug when he comes over. Zoey buys a thong and a matching bra for the occasion. They do not know how far things are going to lead. They are in Zoey’s bed, when her parents get home early! She is grounded for a while. She isn’t allowed to see Doug alone for a while.
At the end of the book, Angela runs away from San Diego. She doesn’t let anyone know that she is even thinking about running away. She just hops on a bus and heads for Atlanta, Georgia. Angela’s Aunt Sadie is single and has a house near or in Atlanta. When Angela arrives in Atlanta she goes and lives with her Aunt Sadie. Her parents aren’t sure whether or not they want Angela to live in Atlanta when they are in San Diego, but they think about it. They are going to let her stay until Spring Break and see how things go. Aunt Sadie is just basically going to be the parent. If anything goes wrong, Angela has to move back to San Diego.

Be explicit in what you are labeling as a conflict. You do a lot of summarizing here. You are describing conflicts- but not specifying what they are. Show me what you are labeling as a conflict.
