This sentence sounds more like do not come back with that girl... could I say No vueulvas a esa chica?
In Spanish, negative commands for tú and vosotros/-as, take the same form as their conjugation in El Presente de Subjuntivo.
Look and listen to these examples for Tú (negative commands):
Antonio, ¡no seas egoísta!
Antonio, don't be selfish!
¡No llegues tarde esta noche!
Don't be late tonight!
See some examples for Vosotros/-as (negative commands)
Bear in mind that this rule does not apply to affirmative commands for tú and vosotros/-as. For affirmative commands, see:

Hola Emanuel
In this context, using volver "a" sounds odd. When we talk about going back to "someone" as in going back to a relationship with someone we say "volver con alguien".
To use volver a, we need a different context, for example to go back to a place:
Ella volvió a su país de origen.
(She returned to her native country.)
Or when the meaning is "to repeat an action":
Ella volvió a llamar al chico, depués de lo que él había hecho.
She called the boy again, after what he had done.
I hope this helps.
Que pases un buen domingo.

Why are these minute details discussed in the lesson before testing?
I'm beginning to think the tests on this are designed to trip one up, rather than test what has been presented. The progress tests choose the most obscure of grammar points, ones that have no bearing on determining what has been accomplished.
