May of their sixth repeat
Plot
Claudia’s Aunt Peaches has a baby girl. She is named Lynn, after Claudia’s middle name. They also ask Claudia to be the godmother. As soon as they get home, Claudia goes into hyper manic behavior, constantly hanging out, correcting Peaches on her parenting skills, staying for dinner, etc. finally Peaches has a mini meltdown and tells Claudia she needs some space. Claudia does not take it well and she storms out of the house.
It’s perfect timing because Claudia is leaving for a class trip to Philadelphia. She spends the weekend in the city and this girl from her class, Melissa, is always hanging out her. Since this girl is not in the BSC, she obviously can’t be allowed in so Stacey, Abby and Claudia are all annoyed with her. Melissa convinces Claudia to leave the group to go to a museum and they get lost. Then they get in trouble and Claudia lashes out at her. On the bus ride home, melissa apologizes for being a pest, and somehow Claudia makes the connection that she was also a pest to Peaches. She calls and apologizes and everything is fine.
The side story is pretty lame - the Arnold twins see a documentary on how to make a horror film and decide to make their own.
Takeaways
It’s crazy how blind these girls are to how their know it all parenting skills might be off putting to actual adults. Like Claudia didn’t think Peaches and her husband would make it the weekend without her.
I want to go to Philadelphia and run up the Rocky stairs.
I don’t know why it was just okay for Claudia to go to Peaches house every day. At 13 she never has to tell her parents where she is going? Like her mom should have just said no, you aren’t going, you’re being annoying leave them alone.
It’s so annoying to me that they took a school trip to Philadelphia and spent the afternoon in a fucking mall.
Best Character
Peaches, for giving birth at the beginning of this story and not snapping on Claudia for quite awhile. I would have freaked on her on day one.
Worst Character
Probably Claudia for being stupid about how stupid she was acting. And also being mean to a girl who just wants to be friends with her.
