It now feels like Zoe and Julian are not hanging out with her anymore ever since they started joining new clubs.

So Maggie starts joining a club called Futuristic Leaders. But does she really want to join that club? She wants to find something to do while Zoe and Julian must be having the time of their lives at those clubs, sure. Yet, it’s not something she enjoys. And Maggie is getting in trouble for not coming home on time and not being where she said she was.
