As the crowd was dispersing when the Hapschatt's left, Brad and I walked over to Janet, who was closely observing every detail on the bouquet. We started walking to the car when Janet broke the silence, "Oh, wasn't it wonderful? Didn't Betty look radiantly beautiful? Oh, I can't believe, just an hour ago, she was plain old Betty Munroe, and now? Now she's "Mrs. Ralph Hapschatt"." She sighed delightfully. "Plain is right." I say. Brad tries to cut me off from continuing. "Yes Janet. Ralph's a lucky guy-" Janet focusing only on her new bouquet says, "Yes!" "Why, Ralph himself, he'll be in line for a promotion in a year or two." Brad says, trying to maintain the small talk. "Yes!" Janet says more enthusiastically, wanting him to keep talking. Brad stops in his tracks causing Janet and I to stop as well. "Hey, Janet?" She pleasingly looks up at him, "Yes, Brad?" I gestured my hands. Brad notices and looks directly at Janet, "I've got something to say." Janet looks confused. I mouth to Brad, "Go on, ask her." Brad adjusts his sleeves, "I've got something to say... I really love the..." he looks at me for reassurance, "...skillful way... you beat the other girls to the bride's bouquet." Janet says flattered, "Oh, oh Brad."
So, I'll spare the details, Brad proposed to Janet, WITH MY HELP, Janet said yes, and I third-wheeled that whole time. Like I always do, since I am literally stuck with them. Mom should have made that a rule, no boys or no girls (for me at least, I'm open to anything) but you win some, you lose some, right?
Anyways, we're walking back towards the car, finally. I noticed there seemed to be a storm heading closer to us. Brad had the BRILLIANT idea to go visit our old teacher at Denton High, Dr. Everett Scott. Not my idea, of course, never was my favorite teacher. Kind of hated him actually, I think it's only because he hated me due to me being "different". Why everyone wants me to be like Janet? No clue. There's already a Janet Weiss in the world, why would there be another one? All I know is that I desperately wanted to be in the comfort of my own home right now.
