In this short scene, we learn that Miss Jessel is in a bad spot right now. She's in love with Mr. Jessel, but she's holding back because she doesn't want to hurt his feelings. She wants to make him feel like he's the one who's always thinking about her, and she wants to touch him like the way he always imagined him to be. She tells us that if he likes her, she'll be happy. She says that if she likes him, she won't be unhappy, because she'd be happy if he wanted her this much. She thanks him, and tells him that she found a school that would exempt her from entrance exams and class fees. He's not happy, but he'll try anyway.
