Our ninth-grade English teacher told us in the beginning of the year that it would be difficult to get A's in his class. I did it. Sitting on the edge of a swimming pool at a graduation party three years later, an acquaintance told me that another girl, upset with her lower grades, had started a rumor that I was sleeping with the teacher.
