Gathering Clouds
“I went to two proms and many dances and on dates. I was as popular as anyone in my class and was even elected class president in my junior year. On a two-week European trip our school sponsored, I had my most passionate romance. It was with the young French guide Julian Lambert. He was twenty-five, but I didn’t surrender my precious treasure again. We went from France to Italy to Spain and then to London. There were twenty of us, fifteen girls and five boys. I was a senior by then and had done ...well enough in my schoolwork to satisfy my parents, although my mother never ceased to tell me she thought I was underachieving.
She seemed finally to surrender it.
“Maybe you’ll always be an underachiever when it comes to academics, Megan, but you seem wise enough in other ways to do well for yourself.”
It was the best compliment she had ever given me and I was feeling good about myself by then. I knew I was very pretty.MoreLess
