In this chapter, we learn that Bejimin is now a member of the school's gang, and that he treats the girl with kindness and respect. This is a big change from the way she was treated before, when she was teased and bullied. She asks to be taken on a date, but Tommy won't come looking for her, so she can't get her attention. She tells us that she's still in love with the handsome man, but that she doesn't know if he's black or not. He's just hiding from her, she tells us, and he'll probably never want to see her again. The gang tells her that they're not using her as a hostage, but as a threat to black storm. They don't have to resort to violence, they tell her, because they know where black is.
