In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character, a young woman named Zena, who has just broken off her seven-year relationship with a rich man. Zena's ex-boyfriend, who is now the father of her child, has come to visit her at her school. He tells her that he never loved her and that he is sorry that she has broken up with him. He has given her all his money and his house in order to get her to release him from her relationship with Zena. The two girls are shocked to learn that Zena has been living with the wealthy man for the past seven years, and that the man has not contacted her in seven years. They are both shocked that he would say such a thing, but Zena says he is an intelligent man, and he is trying to divert her anger and hatred toward another person. She tells him that she was willing to do all she could for the man she loved, and she was not blameless when he cheated on her. She says that if the circumstances had been different, she and Zena could have become close friends. She asks Zena to take her to the car, but she is afraid that the men want her to kill herself.
