The down side to all of this is that the cool clique, including Cecily and Elizabeth, invites Gemma to join their group… but only if she'll steal the holy wine from the chapel… and then when she tries to, they lock her inside. One day, Felicity invites Ann to hang out, only to accuse her of stealing her ring (which she hid in Ann's knitting basket)-luckily for Ann, though, Gemma saves the day by figuring out Felicity's nasty plan and beats the mean girl at her own game. Felicity and Pippa are the most popular girls in the upper class and they like to abuse Ann. Later, Gemma's grandmother sends her off to Spence, a finishing school for girls, and Gemma gets a room with a poor student named Ann. Yikes, right? Needless to say, it's super depressing and Gemma feels really guilty. When she wakes up and tries to get back to her mom, she stumbles upon her vision come true. Suddenly Gemma is struck with a strange vision of the future, including her mother killing herself and a demented shadow creature eating a guy (um… things officially just got weird, Shmoopsters). Since Gemma is sixteen, this hard, cold no infuriates her, and she runs away, causing her mother to follow her down an alley. They are arguing because Gemma really wants to go to London, where all the cool kids are, but her mom doesn't care what the other kids are up to she said no and she means it. Gemma Doyle is a regular old teenage girl walking around India with her mom and their maidservant.
