I brought Gretchen to the Junior-Senior prom for Central. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her! She looked like a completely different person. The gang was really nice to her too, it was great. In the middle of the dance Steve asked me, "Are you in love with Gretchen?" and I responded, "No.", then he asked, "Then would it be alright if I asked her out?". I responded with a "Yeah sure...". Then the trial started. The first couple days I stated what happened and all. Then, Gretchen's mother started saying "There was a baby, there was a baby, there was a baby" over and over. Then she pointed at Lutterman and said "It was HIS baby!". He stood up and said "Son of Satan!" and came after me. He grabbed me by the throat. I was scared for my life! I thought I was going to die or something! The next day Mrs. Lutterman took the stand and told the story, and thankfully Otto Lutterman got sent to the Stillwater Penitentiary. I have never felt so relieved in my life. Oh I also ran into McCluskey's dog! He found a nice home with a sweet old lady. Now his name is Ambrose, after her late husband. I think he's doing really well, he needed someone to love him. I also had a eureka moment, or something. I remembered what Pastor Ostrum said about love, "love isn't a warm feeling, something that just happens to you, but a decision you make, something you do.". Maybe it wasn't Lola I'd loved through thick and thin...but Gretchen.
I added a picture of the penitentiary in Stillwater, a place that I hope Otto won't get out of for a very very long time.
