Jago doesn't like Clementine. He knows there is something different about her and he doesn't like it. And he never lets her forget it.

So when Jago's bullying gets too much, it's not really surprising that Clem loses control of it and gets herself suspended from school. [[Snowglobe by Amy Wilson|Full Review]]<!-- Reeve Haig -->
