The chapter opens with a description of a bug story. It's about a girl who's afraid to go into her room because the guy who kissed her the day before is nowhere to be found. She's leaving for school, and she's worried that she'll be seen as different from the other girls. She asks the bug if there was anything she wanted to discuss, and the bug says that it wanted to talk to her because she seemed friendly enough. The bug also tells her that venomous insects can tell you if you're a friend or foe, and that the majority of them are friendly enough to not hurt you. She also tells the bug that she can cure diseases with witchcraft, and thanks her for her kindness.
