Dear Looking for Help,
There are lots of things you could do. First, call her mother up to tell her about this thing. Second, go to borrow a math book from her to make her remember she has borrowed one from you. Third, if you want to argue, just find her out and argue with her. Fourth, give the book to her. Don’t expect to get it back.
