The chapter opens with the narrator asking the reader to imagine what it would be like to be in love with a boy and a girl. The narrator tells the reader that he wants to know what will happen to the girl who loves him and the boy who loves her, but he doesn't want the girl to get hurt in the process. He wants the girl, who is thirteen years old, to be able to enjoy the company of other girls, and he wants her to treat the boy with respect. He also wants the boy, who likes him, to treat her with respect, because he's the one who's going to be the one to marry her. He asks the reader if he thinks the girl will ever fall for him, and the narrator replies that she probably won't, because she'll be too lazy to do anything about it. He goes on to say that he asked his mom to teach him how to straighten his hair, and she's done it, too. He wonders if the girl could ever love him, because her hair is so cute. He says that he needs to go to a fancy pastry shop and buy a fancy tart to celebrate this.
