All the time. And she doesn't understand why. She has two loving moms, a supportive older half brother, and, as a triplet, she's never without company. Her life is good. But sometimes she loses her temper and lashes out, like the time she threw a soccer ball--hard--at a boy in gym class and bruised his collarbone. Or when jealousy made her push her (former) best friend (and crush), Layla, a little bit too roughly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After a meltdown at Joey's apartment building leads to her family's eviction, Joey is desperate to figure out why she's so mad.
