“Mother，you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with，”Farah answered.

Farah had no answer.The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.
“Farah，it says that you can take part in supplementary exams(补考).If your grades don’t improve then，I’ll cancel(取消) your trip to Spain.”
