The narrator tells us that the president of the school's father is a "rich second-generation student" . The narrator says that he's been playing the piano with him for a while now, and that one day, the waiter subtly changed the way he looked at the piano. He says that the waiter's words made him want to "get closer to him" and "become a better person" , and he thinks that's what's going on. He tells the narrator that the next day, he saw a woman walking her dog across the street, and the dog and the girl pet each other's dogs. He wants to leave the school, but the dog bites him, so he goes back to the restaurant. He asks the narrator if the rich man must be a "crazy rich man," and the narrator replies that he must be rich, but not as wealthy as the man. He also says that it's possible that he could have hit him if he could, but that he is "rich, handsome, and muscular." The narrator wonders how he managed to get back to school.
