The chapter opens with the narrator complaining that he's late for class. He wants to know what happened the day before. He's been told that the woman was in contact with the girl, and that the girl was probably in touch with the boy. The narrator asks the girl what happened, and the girl tells him that she didn't even go to the store that day. The girl also tells the narrator that the boy was with another girl that day, and they were on a date. The teacher tells the girl that she's a bad influence on the boy, and he should just ignore her.
