Found Love In A Hopeless Place
How often do people find love in school cafeterias? Not very. But for Janice and Prentiss time came to a halt when they gazed into each other’s eyes. This is what Willson said later, “I actually didn’t think I had a chance with her,” he added. “She was a year ahead of me and just so beautiful.”
Your Name
Willson was a shy man. He could not even bring himself to say a Hi to Janice let along ask her name directly. It took him 25 days but he finally found out her name. For Janice, it wasn’t as difficult to get information about Wilson. After all, she had publicly heard the name when Kappa Sigma quit in order to allow a black student, Gene Grisby to pledge. Now both of them had each other’s basic information. And every day he showed up at the cafeteria, they both exchanged their love in the form of a smile.
He Did Not Show Up
Their morning meets had become a routine but on one occasion Willson did not turn up at his usual time to the cafeteria. Right before the classes were supposed to dissolve for the Thanksgiving break, the college organized a dinner. This was not the place the two lovebirds usually met at but Janice was hoping and expecting to find Prentiss there. Their conversations had started happening by now and Janice was looking forward to spending time with him. When he did not show up, she upped her crazy levels a notch and did this.
Girl In Action
Janice found out that Willson had left to be with his parents on Thanksgiving and was probably at his home by then. She asked around for Willson’s address and one of his fraternity brothers obliged her. Next thing we know, she drove down 150 miles to Santa Maria and gave a knock at his door which proved to be a key to his locked heart.
Two Fishes In A Pond
After the mentioned incident. Janice was introduced to Willson’s family whose mother took an instant liking to her. She returned to the college after that and when Prentiss came back after holidays they seldom left each other’s company. They strolled in the campus arm in arm and were never seen without each then.
Hasty Engagement
Soon after that, they announced their engagement. It was probably a mistake because what happened next proved to be both, embarrassing and heartbreaking for the two of them. Nevertheless, the news of their engagement got published in the local newspaper and the announcement ended in these words:”No date has been set for the wedding.”
