In this chapter, we learn that Rinehart has been studying so hard that he doesn't really know the girl he's studying with. He asks her if she's "fun to watch" or "what chatter" , and she tells him that she is. He tells her that he brought tons of food for lunch today, and that they made too much food, but that he thinks it's because they've been friends for a long time. He then asks her to borrow him for a date, but she refuses, saying that she'd rather go on a "date" with a "dude" than a "punk like yamada" . She's not sure what to make of the whole thing, and wonders why she has to go on such a date.
