It's quite probable that I didn't explain that the high school, which was Amelia's place of work wasn't a typical Polish school. First of all, you should know that its students considered themselves as a sort of "business cream". This expression, which is an idiom invented by Amelia, refers to so called - newly rich (the people, about whom you can read in"Great Gatsby", for example). And they were right, they were an elite, in a sense. Firstly, all of them were mountaineers, whose relatives were Polish American people. They often went to visit them in New York, Chicago or New Jersey. Thanks to their rich grandpas, uncles or aunts they had a unique chance to see the USA and to earn lots of bucks. In Poland they could establish their own small companies and be successful. That's why the region called in Polish "Podhale" is one of the richest regions in Poland....
Amelia didn't feel very well among the people,as some of them considered her less attractive, judging the value of her bank account, not the power and value of her mind. Of course, they didn't ask her a stupid question; "How much do you earn at school?" They didn't have to do it, as they knew she couldn't earn a lot as a teacher, because this job isn't well-paid in Poland. In fact there was one vital event, which made Amelia realise that she is totally different from the rest of the inhabitants of Nowy Targ..
It was a nice day, the end of May was quite warm and sunny. Amelia felt great, though she wasn't happy in love at that time, but as a woman full of hope, she knew "it's gonna be better!". She was invited by the parents of her student to the party. It was a nameday of the student's mum, so Amelia bought a gift and came to their wonderful house. At the beginning it was fun. Who could have thought that such an innocent meeting would have changed into a kind of orgy...???
More details in next post, be patient!!!
