Looking back, Raoul hasnât been that big of a jerk. Mona said that he said that she was dumb, after she asked for help with her science homework, but she may be an unreliable reporter, and it certainly didnât stop her from continuing her campaign to win him at the time.
Raoulâs biggest crime has been that he was more interested in the overtly âwomanlyâ and flirtatious girls around him than in the tongue-tied, skinny kid. That may be less than enlightened of him, but itâs hardly uncommon in teenage boys (my understanding is that teenage girls are not guiltless of similar preferences)âŠ
Itâs never pleasant when someone youâre attracted to isnât attracted to you back, but itâs kind of a universal experience. Who knows? There may have been some awkward, gawky boy who had been pining after Mona all this time, to whom she wouldnât give the time of day.
In the words of XTC, âPeople will always be tempted to wipe their feet on anything with âWelcomeâ written on it.â
