Trampoline

While she’s sleeping in the parking lot of her high school, Dawn dreams she sees her father standing next to her. He tells her to not give up. She wakes up later in the early morning before the sun is up. Later, before school starts, an obnoxious girl named Belinda runs her car over Dawn’s bag. Dawn tries to hit Belinda’s car with her bag and is sent to the principal’s office. The principal, Mr. McCarty, tells her she is wasting her talent.

In French class, Evie cheats off Dawn’s test. After class, the school counselor, Ms. Cleek, tells Dawn that there is scholarship interview later that week. In French class the next day, Ms. McKamey hands back the tests and both Dawn and Evie received zeros for cheating. She asks to speak to the two of them after class, but Evie leaves without talking to her. Ms. McKamey tells Dawn she doesn’t have to help Evie.

Outside of class, Belinda and two friends confront Dawn at her locker and call her a witch. Evie shoves the girls away. They continue to fight, and Evie is about to shove Belinda down the stairs when Mr. McCarty comes up behind Dawn and Evie.
