The narrator is sitting outside his parents' house when he hears a commotion outside and decides to go sit outside and wait for it to end. He asks the boy outside what's going on, and the boy tells him that he's hanging out with a guy named Henry. The narrator says that the guy is the kid everyone talks about in class, and that he acts like an adult. The boy tells the narrator that he doesn't want to talk about his first love, which is a hot topic right now. He says that gossip is a good way to keep up appearances, and he'll pay for the room where he and the other boy are hanging out. The other boy asks the narrator if she's really going to meet up with the guy, and she says that she'll have to ask him why he wants to hang out with her. The young man says that he was born when she was already in grade school, so she must have already been in school when she asked him. The two men talk about how they're not really dating, but that they'll be hanging out once they figure out their schedules for the week.
