Was it to get kicked out of the election? She could have come up with some excuse to quit.
She must have known she was going to get suspended. Maybe she just wanted to get a few days off school.
She couldn't have known her parents would end up sending her to Immaculate Heart.
Am I missing something here?
Know what? I think she did know her parents would send her there. There is that scene where after she is suspended she is riding over there and watching the girls' soccer game. I think because she has those lesbian feelings, she wants to get in there, so she planned that trick. I think also because she knew her parents had to put her somewhere else, this was the only place, which also seemed to them to suggest discipline, being a parochial school.
shareHer parents told her that if she got into any more trouble they would put her into the catholic girl's school.
sharePerhaps she planned it that way. In her own way she is as smart as Tracy and a lot smarter than Paul. She could not be sure they would send her there, so she cannot suppress her delight when she learns that that is where she is going, but I believe that is what she was trying to engineer.
