The narrator begins this chapter by asking one of his students, "person you are" . This is the first time he's ever been out with his friend, and this is the second time he asks this question. This time, the narrator pretends to be a better person. He tells the student that he has learned about her family from her father, and that she is not a bad student. He also tells her that she and her friend are already adults, so they can choose who they want to be with. The narrator tells the girl that she can celebrate her family reunion with her boyfriend, but that it's better to think of it as a "visit to your former teacher" , and not as a celebration of her boyfriend's house. The teacher, he tells her, is a "girly" and "disgusting" teacher, and she should be kicked out of the house. She's just "selling cakes with her pretty face," the narrator tells her.
