Answer: c. because she and margaret are not friends.
Explanation:
Jamie is sent for two weeks to summer camp with Margaret, who is part of the “Thirteens” club to which Jamie does not belong. Since Jamie´s best friend, Lynette, has left her to hang out with the other thirteen-year-old girls, Jamie feels left out and resents Margaret from the start. However, that will change when Margaret starts reaching out to Jamie.
