Uncertain Girl is the second chapter of the second Durarara!! light novel.

Synopsis
At Raira Academy, Anri Sonohara is harassed by one of the teachers, Takashi Nasujima, who attempts to bribe her with a debt she owes him from a month prior, when he saved her from bullies. Just as Takashi places a hand on her, Masaomi Kida calls out to him from the classroom door. Realizing Masaomi has overheard everything, Takashi turns to Anri and tells her to not spread rumors about him, but Masaomi in turn threatens to tell on him, showing he had recorded the whole exchange.

After saving Anri from Takashi, Masaomi walks with Anri to the gate entrance of the school, where they meet up with Mikado. They hang out in the city together, and Anri later splits up with them to walk home alone. On her way home, she is corned by three bullies from middle school. The girls jeer at Anri for leeching off of others, and Anri notices a shadow behind the girls. The figure attacks the girls, cutting them before retreating.

In the chat room, Kanra informs TarouTanaka and Setton of the slasher's newest high school victims. TarouTanaka is about to call his friend and make sure it was not her that was attacked, but Kanra private messages him and reassures him that it was not Anri. TarouTanaka calls her regardless and learns that Anri had witnessed the attack. After the users log off, a new user named Saika logs in and spams that chat, expressing the desire to find and love a strong human.
