Quote....
In the next moment the dectective-who'd seemed so tragic before-was going to point at me, shouting, "AND THERE SHE IS!" This is signifacted because it shows that her prescription drugs where found in the bathroom and that means they are going to be very suspisous and the school could find out it's hers. Now she is very worried about what is going to happen.

Theme....
"A dream deferred" is a copout, an escape from blame.
