Hurt feelings . . .

"You mean, I'm not good enough to be a Unicorn?" Mandy demanded.
Jessica's eyes widened. "That's not what I said," she protested.
Mandy paid no attention to her. "I may not have as much money as Lila Fowler or as many clothes as Janet Howell," she said through clenched teeth. "And I may not be as pretty as you are or as popular as Ellen Riteman. But that doesn't mean I'm not good enough to be a Unicorn!"
"I didn't say you weren't!" Jessica cried.
"That's what they're saying," Mandy retorted, "and you know it." Her eyes narrowed. "For weeks you guys have used me to run your errands, and now you tell me I'm not good enough for you? What snobs! I wouldn't be a Unicorn if you paid me a million dollars!"
