Language – teen speak, ‘do me a solid.’ ‘rad’; blue slushies,
Parents – (the boys’ mother makes dinner, cares about him eating)
Nickname June bug by her parents
Liberal parents but very supportive though disappointed
Parents hoping she was expelled or into hard drugs!

St Trinians – use the bit where the different groups are introduced to the new girl.
