Ginnie always had to pay the whole cab fare.. Ginnie suggested that they take the bus home but Selena insisted that they take a taxi. Ginnie informed Selena that she owed her $1.90 to pay for her portion of the cab rides.
Pneumonia. Selena told Ginnie that her mother wouldn't enjoy being disturbed just for money. This statement simply annoyed Ginnie though who responded with "I didn't give it to her".
He is her brother.. Ginnie thought that Franklin was the funniest-looking boy, or man, she had ever seen. Franklin had expected someone else and thus was surprised to see his sister's friend when he walked out of his room.
He cut his finger badly.. Franklin had cut his finger on some razor blades while looking for something in the wastebasket. Much of their conversation was about his cut finger and Ginnie recommended that he put iodine on it to stop the bleeding.

Selena was wearing a dress at the end of the story so it seems as though she is going to see the movie with Eric and Franklin.
