Her regular lateness was reported to the principal who called her and looked into her situation. After finding out the condition of the poor girl, he had sympathized with her and called a meeting with the teachers instructing them not to be harsh on her.
Due to the many responsibilities she had, Taylor had no time to study but yet,she kept her really good grades which earned her a liking by some of her teachers.
This she was able to do by reading at night after Coco was asleep some times with a candle because she could barely afford the electricity bills but this had it's consequence on her by making eyesight weak and thereby making her use glasses.
She never went to the cafeteria like other kids during lunch break, she couldn't afford paying for the food,so she just ate some of the pastries she brought with her.
As a matter of fact,Taylor was hated and widely bullied by most of her classmates because they found her weird. If those spoiled brats went through quarter the suffering she was going through, they wouldn't last a week.
They only judged her for what they saw,a weirdo. They never gave the chance to understand her or her situation and she also never cared about what their perception of her was like,she only cared about taking care of Coco to the best of her ability.
Taylor never minded that she had no friends. In fact, she loved being on her own. It helped her keep her focus on her goals. She also kept quiet when the other kids bullied and made fun of her primarily because she didn't wanna end up in a fight and get kicked out of school because of some rich brat,who could easily pave his or her way out.
