The narrator describes a moment outside the athletic dorms where he is trying to get Beth's attention as she looks for his brother's room. Beth is dressed in a fitted cotton T-shirt and low-rise jeans, which accentuate her figure. The narrator is drawn to her physical appearance but feels a sense of conflict about other guys noticing her as well.

He expresses a possessive fondness for Beth, wishing to be the only one appreciating her beauty while feeling somewhat envious of the attention she receives from others, particularly those around the dorms. Despite his admiration for her outfit, he suspects it might not sit well with his brother, adding to the tension of the situation.
