The narrator tells us that he's a student at the university. He's got a student's identification card with him, so he can't tell anyone at school about it. He doesn't want to tell anyone about it, though, because it'll make him look like a total jerk. The narrator says he'll be leaving soon, but he wants to know more about the people at the school. He wants to meet the other students, too, since they're all so interesting. He also wants to see how they react to each other, since it's pretty obvious that they don't like each other.
