Lien se Lankstaanskoene by Derick van der Walt

Die meesterstuk

Lien is spoken to by her teacher, Ms. Breitenbach, who asks for the reason behind her anger toward everyone around her. Her teacher also asks Lien to audition for a play, The Breakfast Club, to which Lien replies that she is too busy. After her conversation with Ms. Breitenbach, Lien feels angry that the teacher has invaded her personal life. She feels she has to offload this anger to Wouter. When Wouter disagrees with her reaction and does not support her, Lien storms off. In this chapter, we see increasingly how Lien's mom is not showing up for work, and Lien worries that her employer will see through her mom's excuses.
