It seems some other kids don't want to play with her either.
This is obviously not going to be easy, as if anything has been.
Later that day in Ruby's dining room, Ruby and Dr. Coles are together again.
Ruby says Jimmy didn't hurt her feelings.
If her mom or dad told her not to play with somebody, she wouldn't either.
Allison's dad told her not to play with Ruby, but she still does sometimes.
Ruby asked Dr. Cole if his mom would let him drink some special blend tea with her.
Dr. Cole asked Ruby if she'd be upset if his mommy said he couldn't.
She says she would be sad because maybe he wouldn't visit her anymore.
Ruby says she's lonely at lunchtime since the other kids don't play with her.
He wonders if there's anything she could do to make herself feel better, like cry or draw, and Ruby immediately changes the subject.
Our tea is ready, and then they pray together.
In the backyard, Ruby and Allison are playing a card game with Ruby's dad sitting on the steps nearby.
Ruby asks Allison if her dad would let them play ball together, and she says probably no.
Her dad says black people shouldn't be focused on games.
They should be working hard if you want something in this world.
And right on time, Allison's dad yells at her and he runs and grabs her.
He tells Aben that before Ruby went to that school, the neighborhood was fine, but now there are barricades and people are talking about boycotting Mardi Gras, which means his tavern will be empty.
