The next morning, the Governess flirts with her bear. The Governess tells her class that the flower seeds that were given to her by the flower-decorating club are ready to be replanted. She also tells the class rep that she is going to go home and gossip with her friend, who is popular because she is a girl. She tells the girl that she does not like her because she studies late and does not get along with other girls. She says that her parents are not to blame for her unhappiness. She explains that she hates everything about adults, including her father, her mother, her homeroom teacher, and her law professor. Her father is always harassing her about how he is the greatest father her mother has ever known. Her teacher is always flattering her, and she says that she likes him because he is a good student. Her parents, she says, are the only ones who have anything to do with her unhappy life. She complains that she has to listen to adults and pretend to be obedient to them. She asks if she can use the tent that her father has given her as a place to sleep. The tent has an open ceiling, and the stars are shining at night. She wonders if she could use it to get her friends drunk and in a good mood. When her next birthday comes, her father tells her that he will take her virginity.
