Aim: How do Lex and Cordy react to Lex's being kicked out of the house?

Do Now: If the first and most central character goes around antagonizing all the other characters, is she the protagonist or the antagonist of the story?


Taking note of the details:
1. Page 10:  Lex's mother tells her she's being rude when she pulled the hood of her sweatshirt over her face.  Principal Truitt sports a "comb-over."
2. Page 11: "Lex hissed."
3. Page 12: What does Lex see in the principal's cryptic farewell smile?
4. What does cryptic mean?  What is a crypt?
5. Dialogue Lex and her Mother: "What did he mean, a summer away?" / "I knew you weren't listening." - But, doesn't Lex's question prove that she had been listening?  Was Lex's mother listening to her listen?
