Jamal is nervous and dodgy at first, but under pressure he spills that Cesar told Ruby he “did/hit it” with Monse before she left for camp, making it sound like they had did "it" instead of just a kiss/fumble. Monse soon finds out Oscar is out of jail, and knows Cesar only said those things cause of his brother and having to look like a man in front of his older brother and his brothers gang the Santos.
Now Monse is confronting Cesar while Jamal is on the other side of the street having told her not to go that it wasn't safe since she "blossomed"(got her chest bigger) and those boys(Santos) were thirsty.
