The Boyfriend Who Always Picked Someone Else

On graduation-photo day, the photographer told the couples to stand closer together.

Instead, Bill Henson pressed a hand to my shoulder and steered me to the edge of the group, moving Phyllis Swanson into the spot beside him.

"Phyllis and I are the top humanities and top science students. It makes sense for us to stand together."

It wasn't the first time he'd pushed me aside.

When I brought him questions I'd gotten wrong, he said my basics were weak and I was wasting his time.
