The next day, Robbie and a circle of friends all say hi to Ricky. Ricky is surprised by their friendliness, but is thankful for the attention. He doesn't want to refuse the lemonade that Robbie once again offers him. As before, it is warm ...and as the other kids smile, he wonders if they had some too, and whether they think it's as bad as he feels it is.

Soon this leads to other things.
