During these chapters Sophie is grown up and is in her teenage years. As most teenagers, she is going through the rebellious phase and goes against her mother Martine’s orders and sneaks out to see Joseph, her much older neighbor whom she is falling for. In chapter ten, Sophie and her mother spend quality time together and Sophie brings up the question whether it is okay to be interested in a boy. It is quite humorous when Martine starts to pry and asks who this boy is. This backfires when Sophie makes up a name to lie and it happens to be a real person. Later into the chapters, Sophie is caught coming home late in the morning from spending time with Joseph and she is given the “test”. Sophie uses a pestle to break her hymen to stop her mother from giving her the test.
