The main theme of this story is Friends became Enemies. Tulip was so smart that she could even outsmart the teachers. At first, she acted as a quiet and inncent little girl in front of Natalie's father to get her dinner and treats and in front of Natalie to forgive for her mistakes. Natalie just kept forgiving her. Not only that, she promised Tulip that she will not utter a single word to the teacher. But after this, she turned from an angel to a devil.
