l had already apologised, told her that the teacher told me it was 1555 not 1520, once back home, she slammed the door shut. l went in her room and demanded she apologise for slamming the door, she at first said l didnt apologise to her, l did, so repeated it again, sincerely, she slurs out an 'apology' with no eye contact. later l go in room to tell her some good news, she tells me to just go away. should l just let her sulk and wait for her to get over it or speak to her?

Give her not of time, and then offer a snack or drink she likes. explain it was a misunderstanding
and then talk about anything but don’t dwell on the way being late

School finish times havent changed in decades. I'd be angry too.
