No one in Collin’s circle of friends likes rap music. They all say that it sounds like noise; it has no melody and it takes no talent to produce, they claim. Personally, Collin tends to like rap, and he thinks that a lot of skill and knowledge would have to go into producing something that complex. But if everyone else hates it, he reasons that he is probably wrong, so he eventually convinces himself to hate rap too.

So Cherise tells Deondra not to be afraid of ghosts. Deondra tells her that she shouldn’t be such a closed-minded skeptic. From that point on, Deondra steers clear of Cherise.
