Antiques Maul
“Granted, the students get a few weeks’ vacation every couple of months (like now), but it’s just not the same as having that long stretch of summer through which to recharge your batteries, get good and bored so you don’t mind going back to school, and, in the case of one girl I knew, reinvent yourself.Kids called her Fat Freda (not me!) (okay, maybe once). Cruel as such name-calling is, Freda had a certain amount of bad karma due her, because she had developed (likely as a defense mechanism) a... withering mastery of sarcasm. Put-downs apparently weren’t enough, because during the three summer-vacation months between our junior and senior year, Freda dropped fifty pounds, got a nose job, had her teeth capped, cleared up her zits, and dyed her mousey brown hair a surfer-girl blonde. The first day back at school in the fall, everybody was like, “Hey, who’s the new babe from California?”Of course, when the kids found out it was Freda, they treated her terrible again—because despite the otherwise radical transformation, she forgot to change her sarcastic personality—but she did have a couple of nice days on top, just the same.MoreLess
