The short story begins on a warm day. The narrator and Allison live in a block where there are not any other children. While they are riding their bikes, they see a black girl. When the narrator says hi to her, Allison tells her “Get out of here,' nigger,”.
The narrator stops smiling at her. Allison says that she will beat the black girl. The narrator tries to imitate what she/he has seen on Allison’s face.
When the black girl asks them to play together, Allison spits back. Then, the black girl goes to her home.
