... ruckus?"
"I'd like to focus on the part about me being suspended for no good reason, first," Amy said. "I'm not breaking any rules."
"Let's just wait for your mother to get here, and if you decide you want to talk to me about yourself in the meanwhile, I'd be more than happy to listen."
Amy was fuming. This was completely unfair. They hadn't even given her a chance to explain herself. She tried to think about what Amanda would do in this situation, but came up at a loss. As if on cue, her phone buzzed, and she checked it to see that she'd finally gotten a response from her mentor.
"I'm fortunate enough never to have experienced it," she said, and Amy had to re-read her original text to remember that she had asked about rape. That concern had somehow evacuated her brain after the more immediate concerns. "It's possible, but I don't think it's any more likely for us than it would be for any woman, so just use your common sense and take some normal precautions. Learn some self defense, carry some pepper spray, stick to nice neighborhoods and highly-populated areas. I'm sorry I can't provide you with a perfect solution. Sometimes, the world is bleak. If you want to talk, I'm a phone call away."
She smiled as she read it. Amanda was honestly a wonderful human being, and Amy wasn't more glad for anything in the world than to have met her.

"Howdare you judge my daughter for her religious beliefs?" her mother was screaming into the face of the principal. "You're suspending her for her religion? Every lawyer in thecountry is going to be itching to take this case andbury you!"
"Ma'am, I don't think you understand," the principal said, holding up his head.
"I don't thinkyou understand, you small-brained sycophant!" her mother shrieked. Amy didn't think she'd used that word right, but she forgave her immediately. Her mother was standing up for her. Her mother, who had no idea why Amy was doing this, who honestly thought it was a terrible idea, was still standing up for her. Amy ran out of the room and gave her mother the biggest hug she ever had. She had tears in her eyes, and she didn't care. Never in her life had she felt more loved.
"As you can see, your daughter is, uh...naked," the principal said.
"Of course she is!" her mother yelled. "She's a True Self!" Again, she had misworded things slightly, but Amy endured it. "Her nudity is protected under the first amendment freedom of religion, and codified into law. Are you ...
