It’s Raining in Love
I don’t know what it is,
but I distrust myself
when I start to like a girl
a lot.
It makes me nervous.
I don’t say the right things
or perhaps I start
to examine,
evaluate,
compute
what I am saying.
If I say, “Do you think it’s going to rain?”
and she says, “I don't know,”
I start thinking: Does she really like me?
In other words
I get a little creepy.
A friend of mine once said,
“It’s twenty times better to be friends
with someone
than it is to be in love with them.”
I think he’s right and besides,
It’s raining somewhere, programming flowers
and keeping snails happy.
That’s all taken care of.
BUT
if a girl likes me a lot
and starts getting real nervous
and suddenly begins asking me funny questions
and looks sad if I give the wrong answers
and she says things like,
“Do you think it’s going to rain?”
and I say, “It beats me,”
and she says, “Oh,”
and looks a little sad
at the clear blue California sky,
I think: Thank God, it’s you, baby, this time
instead of me.

Senior and Junior Book Club members headed off to Gonzaga College today for The Great Reads Award Ceremony with Ms. Lundon and Ms. Dupuy.
The winning authors were announced at the ceremony, and afterwards the authors were very generous with their time chatting to the girls and signing their books!
We heard some very inspiring words from the authors about the importance of reading, and a powerful message from Laurence Anholt about taking personal responsibility in stamping out prejudice.
See lots of photos in the gallery below.
The winning titles were
One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus
Wing Jones by Katherine Webber
The Hypnotist by Laurence Anholt
and The Girl in Between by Sarah Carroll
