Which is what makes her reluctance to seek out the answer to a question that's been dogging her for over two decades all the more curious.
This is Julia.
And the question she can't stop thinking about revolves around a moment from her own life.
It all began 21 years ago, in the eighth grade, at one of the fanciest all-girl schools in Montreal.
You have to wear a uniform there.
I don't think I ever understood what bloomers were.
And were they ruffled?
No.
Cursed with a lifelong inability to distinguish between bloomers, culottes, pantalettes, pantaloons, drawers, and even knickerbockers, I was glad for the opportunity to finally sort it all out.
But that's not why we're here.
So after about 15 minutes of inquiry, I was ready to move on.
Okay, sorry, yes, go on.
The desk had been hidden by her classmates, and that was just the beginning.
Without warning, the girl she'd been friends with since third grade completely froze her out, and Julia had no clue why.
To top it off, her best friend was the ringleader.
Then what started happening was every time she walked into the classroom, Julia noticed that the girls would drop what they were doing and study her.
If she so much as scratched her nose or sniffled, they'd furiously take notes.
It seemed like everyone was collaborating on some big project that she knew nothing about.
The notes were collected by Jane, who buried them in her desk.
The girls kept at it, day after day, until finally, Julia reached her breaking point.
