I believe that the girl in the story has issues. She still adores Raheem after she notices him cheating "when you have a man like him" she thinks he is her world.A girl adores and is dating the hottest guy in her school.Do you know how they say love is blind ?Well that is true in this story.The ideas I will address in this story is how even when a girl notices her boyfriend with another girl somehow she still loves him.Yes there is something wrong with being a bad girl. The reason why I say that is because she is crazy and also has problems.

The last reason why I think she is insane is that she wants the girl who just looks like the girl who Raheem once left her for also all the girl did was look at her and the narrator wants the girl to step into the street as the following quote states "step into the street if you got a problem". The narrator

Even after the narrator notices Raheem flirting she hold her tongue. She should be going out with someone else. Who will truly loves her and would never do anything to cause her pain. Another reason why she should be with someone else is "I lean over and stare out the window and see the red head standing on the corner with Raheem" "his arms around her neck". She needs to be going out with someone who is faithful.The last reason why she should be going out with someone else is "I'm going to make him something nice to eat". She needs to be with someone who appreciates her,someone who does not lie to
