The Lazy Girl

Jessica, a 14-year-old with brown hair and green eyes, lives in an apartment with her mum. She is portrayed as inactive and lazy, preferring to spend time in her bedroom on her phone. Jessica enjoys using Snapchat to communicate with friends and watching movies on Netflix.

Avoiding School

Jessica dislikes school, particularly doing homework, writing essays, working on projects, studying, and taking tests. Faced with an upcoming maths test, she decides to feign illness to avoid it. She believes that being sick is the perfect excuse to stay home from school.

The Act

In the morning, Jessica stays in bed, pretending to be sick. When her mum urges her to get up for school, Jessica claims to have a cough and sore throat. Her mum, believing her, allows her to stay home to rest. Jessica is pleased with her successful deception.

A Day at Home

With her mum at work, Jessica spends the day in bed, using Snapchat and watching Netflix. She enjoys her time at home, free from school and the dreaded maths test. When her mum returns, Jessica continues to act sick, complaining of a sore throat and headache. Her mum prepares soup for her, and Jessica pretends to sneeze, further convincing her mum that she has a bad cold and cannot attend school the next day.

The Tables Turn

The next morning, Jessica's mum goes to work, and Jessica is left alone. Feeling hungry, she searches for food in her room and finds chocolate granola bars, soda, and cakes. After consuming all the junk food, Jessica develops a stomach ache and becomes genuinely ill.

The Truth Revealed

When her mum returns, Jessica tells her that she is really sick. However, her mum notices that she is no longer coughing or sneezing and that she doesn't have a fever. Jessica then rushes to the bathroom and vomits, throwing up all the junk food she ate. Her mum sees the wrappers and realises that Jessica had faked her initial illness.

Consequences

Jessica's mum is sarcastic but cares about her daughter. Jessica lies in bed, and her mum takes away her phone as a consequence for her actions.
