Sometimes
when
Beth
saw
herself
in
the
mirror
of
the
girls
’
room
between
classes
,
with
her
straight
brown
hair
and
narrow
shoulders
and
round
face
with
dull
brown
eyes
and
freckles
across
the
bridge
of
her
nose
,
she
would
taste
the
old
taste
of
vinegar
in
her
mouth
.
The
girls
who
belonged
to
the
clubs
wore
lipstick
and
eye
shadow
;
Beth
wore
no
make
-
up
and
her
hair
still
fell
over
her
forehead
in
bangs
.
It
did
not
occur
to
her
that
she
would
be
pledged
to
a
club
,
nor
did
it
to
anyone
else
.

“
This
week
,
”
Mrs
.
MacArthur
said
,
“
we
will
begin
to
study
the
binomial
theorem
.
Does
anyone
know
what
a
binomial
is
?
”
From
the
back
row
Beth
put
up
her
hand
.
It
was
the
first
time
she
had
done
this
.
“
Yes
?
”
Mrs
.
MacArthur
said
.
Beth
stood
,
feeling
suddenly
awkward
.
“
A
binomial
is
a
mathematical
expression
containing
two
terms
.
”
They
had
studied
this
last
year
at
Methuen
.
“
X
plus
Y
is
a
binomial
.
”
“
Very
good
,
”
Mrs
.
MacArthur
said
.
The
girl
in
front
of
Beth
was
named
Margaret
;
she
had
glowing
blond
hair
and
wore
a
cashmere
sweater
of
a
pale
,
expensive
lavender
.
As
Beth
sat
down
,
the
blond
head
turned
slightly
back
toward
her
.
“
Brain
!
”
Margaret
hissed
.
“
Goddamn
brain
!
”

Beth
was
always
alone
in
the
halls
;
it
hardly
occurred
to
her
that
there
was
any
other
way
to
be
.
Most
girls
walked
in
pairs
or
in
threes
,
but
she
walked
with
no
one
.
