Despite her problems, she makes a friend in blind piano player Louis Turnball and even reconsumates her relationship with Beau Andreas. However, Ruby soon finds out that Pierre has died of a heart attack, and the school is threatening to expel her when eyewitness accounts say that she's been having sexual relations with boys in various spots around the campus.
