In this short scene, the Governess laments the fact that she will not be able to spend the summer with her best friend, who is in love with another girl. The Governess tells her that she is worried about her grades in high school and wishes she could take the exams over with her. She tells her friend that she needs to get a letter of recommendation from her teacher before she can begin her studies at the university. She asks her friend if she is aware of the importance of her second year at high school. She also asks if she knows that the summer before her senior year is the most important time for her university prospects. She says that she would like to know how she got her job as the homeroom teacher and what the teacher had to say to her about it. She then asks if he ever kissed her, and she says that as they grew further apart, she began to have doubts. She wonders if she should have a conversation with a boy who is fond of her. He is busy, she says, and he is the one who "played it off" like he did not care and told the girl to go "huff what am I, a kid" .
