The narrator, is the protagonist and she starts explaining that she is a teenager. She knows what the latest styles are, she reads the current editorials, she listens to the radio... She wants us to know that she is not a silly girl. In fact, she is a rational thinker. But in fact, when the boy takes her hand and invite her to the sakiting rink, she abandons all her rationality and she believes when he says that he will call her. When days pass by and he doesn't, she says " I'm not so really dumb".
All that, indicates the conflict: she is a sixteen year old, naive and soft in character behind that tough exterior.
Answer:
Explanation:
The conflict of the story in the introduction occurs when the narrator insists that she is not dumb. She keeps up with the style trends, and, life as a whole. She also defends herself by saying she can think rationally. However, we realize that some of this that she has said in the intro is not exactly true. When she sees the boy, she is in love. With this love at first sight, she imagines that the boy is interested in dating her when he says he'll call. However, after a week has passed and he still hasn't called, the narration realizes how naive and immature she has been. She also realizes that she didn't think rationally when she thought he was just as in love with her as she was with him which she realizes isn't true. The conflict is that she thought she was more mature than she really is. Based on the way the narrator talks, we don't really think she is mature, which is an allusion to conflict.
