During this chapter, Callum and sephy’s relationship has been put behind barriers, and seeing each other is becoming more and more difficult.
As Callum comes to school he is told by Shania that Sephy had been beaten up, and Callum feels terribly guilty, and races to her house straight after school. He is presented with a challenge when Sephy’s mothers assistant refuses to let Callum into the house to see if Sephy was okay. This was because he was a nought and no one agreed with their friendship. But as Sephy was in her bedroom the whole week, she was unaware of the occurring events of Callum coming to see her each day.
With reading this, I found myself not agreeing to this as clearly, their societies portrayal of what should happen with noughts and crosses is wrong, and everyone should be treated fairly. These two families are feuding with each other because of this, and in result, it is affecting who their children are able to be friends with and who are able to come in contact with in their every day lives.
Another event that was present was when sephy was in her room and her sister came to check up on her and she said that she wanted revenge. Sephy wanted revenge on those girls as much as her sister did, but she knew it would only make matters worse and she new that making an effort for those girls wasn’t even worth it. She was so worked up about the situation that she couldn’t even listen to what her sister had to say as she kept rambling on about revenge.
I feel that Sephy’s belief about revenge was correct, but i also think that these girls needed to be punished, and that what they did to sephy just because she sat at the same table as the noughts was wrong of them.
