In this chapter, Melba returned Link's car, and her family is deciding wether they should trust him or not. Melba starts to trust him, and I think she should. I know he's a good guy because when she asked him why he helped her, he told her he wanted to save her because Andy wanted to kill her, and that just proves my point. Then at school, she is sitting alone at the cafeteria and finds Link with the "sideburners". She also noticed that there were people insulting her and they started throwing things. She continued using her grandmother's advice, which I love because what she says is something I would say. After lunch, she hears Link say, "Hey, I'm not gonna stay in detention hall every morning for a week just for a little nigger-beating pleasure." She does not like Link anymore. I disagree with her decision though, because I think Link is pretending just so he would save her from being hurt. He did in fact acknowledge her all the time and did help her by giving her his car, and now he's helping by not making the students beat her up.
