When Rosemary returns to collage, she finds Harlow sitting in her apartment. Rosemary’s mother also proves her affection for her daughter when she decides to give Rosemary her journals instead of donating them to some research center.
This proves that despite Rosemary’s cold attitude, her family cares deeply about her. The family avoids certain topics as to not create more tension but Rosemary’s father can’t stop himself from bragging about Rosemary and her SAT scores. The dinner is held at Grandmother Donna’s house and there are other relatives present as well. Rosemary’s parents are both scientists and they both were largely absent from their children lives.
When Rosemary goes home, everyone avoids talking about her arrest. Even though Rosemary is not thrilled by the idea, she accepts. When they are released, Rosemary calls her father who agrees to persuade the police to drop the charges if she agrees to go home from thanksgiving. Harlow tells Rosemary that she is a drama major and then they spend the next few hours together in prison. The girls are arrested and then placed in the same cell together. To show that she disagrees with their actions, Rosemary throws her plate of food and glass of milk on the ground, in front of the police officers.
Rosemary witnessed a confrontation that became violent between Harlow and her boyfriend and when the police came, they took Rosemary instead of taking Harlow. Rosemary is still in collage and in the first chapter she recalls how she meat Harlow during a cold day in winter at the cafeteria. Rosemary hints that her parents are dissatisfied with her because she had yet to graduate collage and she remembers fondly her brother Lowell which she hadn’t saw in ten years and her sister Fern who disappeared 17 years ago. The first chapter of the first part starts in the middle of the narrative, in the year 1996 when Rosemary is still a student. She also talks briefly about her sister, Fern, and how her father used to criticize her for talking too much. The story begins with a prologue in which the main character, Rosemary, tells the reader that her actual friends may be surprised to find that she was an energetic and talkative child.
