She becomes rebellious and free by breaking the rules, cheating with her best friend s fiancé and lying to Darcy. Sometimes, Rachel feels guilty for what she has done but she is tired and bored of being a good girl all the time and she remembers what Darcy has done to her: Yes, Darcy could be a good friend she usually was but she also screwed me at a few pivotal moments in life: first love, collage dream. Those were no small matters. Giffin, 2004:122. Moreover, Rachel is tired of Darcy who always underestimates her and now Rachel does not care anymore about her friendship with Darcy because she wants to be a free soul. Rachel wants everybody recognize her as herself not her persona as an introverted and strict girl that she has shown before: What is that supposed to mean, anyway? For our entire friendship, it has been silently understood that Darcy is the pretty one, the lucky one, the charmed one. But an implicit understanding is one thing. To say it just like that- you can t do better- is quiet another. Her nerve is truly breathtaking. I formulate possible retorts, but then swallow them. She doesn t know how bitchy her remarks is; it only springs from her innate thoughtlessness. Giffin, 2004:127. Rachel has been disappointed by her mother because her mother is just too loves Darcy rather than Rachel who is her mother s only child. It can be seen from Rachel s statements, My mother is an open-book chatterbox and she expects everyone to be just like her, particularly her only child Giffin, 2004:194-195, Yet my mother just plain old loved Darcy, perhaps because Darcy supplied her with the details of our life that she could carved Giffin, 2004:194-195. She remembers what her mother said to her that Darcy has the world by the balls and éêë ì y ê íî ê y ï ð ñò ï î ó êò ï ó ñ î êôò ï õ ö ÷ø ø ÷ôù úûû üý úþÿ ó ï ù ê ì ó ñí ñì ÷ ñ ï ò ì ôò÷ ô ñ ó ñ ë êøøê÷ë î ÷ òó é ñ òñ ë ô ø ë ì ñ ï ó÷ ò ì êíí ò ó ñ î ñ ÷ ôð î ÷ò ó éêë ì y ñì ê ï ñ êì ó ñ í ë ñ ê í ÷ z ñ ï òóêò ï ó ñ êíï ñï ñ ë ñï ò ð ñ ò î óêò ï ó ñ î êôòï êô ï ó ñ ñ ï ñ ë ñ ï ò ñ óê y ù ï ò í ÷ ñ éêë ì y ý î êôò ò ñ î ÷òó y ù é ñ ù ï ê y ï òñ ê ÷ í y êô ìñ í òó ñ îñ ÷ ôð ñ î ÷ò ó ñ ó ñ ë ñ ÷ò ÷ï ø ò ñ ë ò î ôòóï ø î ê÷ò ÷ô ðù ê í÷ø ñ ò ÷ ñ ø ï ÷ò ÷ ÷ ò y ù ñ ñ ë y ò ó÷ôð ÷ ï ô òó ñ í÷ ô ñ ø ñ ñ í ë ñ í÷ñ ñ êô í÷ ñ ë êòñ êô ì óêôðñ ê ê î êô î ó ñ ñì òï óê ÷ô ñ ï ï ñ ï ñ ë ñ óê ÷ô ñ ï ï õ ö ÷ øø ÷ôù úûû üý û ÿ
