Part 1, Chapter 8 Summary: “Chiamaka”

Belle reassures Chiamaka that nobody really believes that she stole the candy. However, Chiamaka is suspicious of Belle’s motives and thinks Belle is being too nice. The chemistry teacher, Ms. Brown, tells the class that the science resources storeroom door was left unlocked and that some supplies were taken. Chiamaka is the science representative and is therefore responsible for locking the storeroom door. When Ms. Brown asks Chiamaka whether she stole the supplies, Chiamaka insists that she did not and states that she did not leave the door unlocked. Ms. Brown confiscates the storeroom key, saying, “It’s best we find someone else to take over managing the resources storeroom” (76).

After class, hoping to show Jamie that he has chosen the wrong girlfriend, Chiamaka invites both Belle and Jamie to watch a superhero movie at her house. Meanwhile, everyone receives another text from Aces. This time it is a video of two people having sex. Chiamaka does not watch it, since it is not about her, and tells Jamie to turn it off. She worries that Aces will somehow leak information about Jamie’s car crash.
