 They had a fake friendship that revolved around Cassie getting revenge on Lillian Jean. Their friendship was also more of a "master-servant" type of friendship with Lilian Jean being the one in charge.
Which pieces of evidence in this passage (words, phrases and expressions) led you to make this deduction?
 - "I took Lillian Jean's books"
- "Miz Lillian Jean"
- "Lillian Jean didn't even realise it had all been just a game."
How did these pieces of evidence help you make these deductions? 
 - "I took Lillian Jean's books" and "Miz Lillian Jean" shows that Cassie was more of a slave to Lillian Jean than a friend. Lillian Jean was of a higher status than Cassie.
- "Lillian Jean didn't even realise it had all been just a game." shows that Cassie never intended to be Lillian Jean's friend and it had all just been a scam/set-up that Lillian Jean fell into.
 
Bonus Question: 
It seemed like Lillian Jean did not expect Cassie’s scheme at all. Why do you think it was so?
- Lillian Jean never expected to get tricked by a black person who was younger than her. She underestimated the blacks and did not think that Cassie was smart enough.
- She was clouded Cassie's kindness and was happy that she had a black "slave" to boss around and show off in front of her other white friends.

it showed that TJ insulted the coat despite the nice quality of it. this reflects the immense jealousy TJ had whenever stacey had recieved a nice thing. thus, TJ was not a true friend as he was unable to feel genuinely happy for stacey

What do you think TJ’s intentions were by making those comments to Stacey? 

T.J. wanted to spite Stacey and hurt Stacey as Stacey had a fine coat from Uncle Hammer that T.J. wanted.
