Janie got to Logan's house and Jackie and Evan were in the room waiting. "We missed you." the three of them hugged. "Did Logan say anything about you last time?"
"No. Not that I remember. He didn't even look at me."
"What? You can't be serious. How could anyone not notice you."
"Apparently he didn't notice."
"Well, we'll try harder this time."
They went to work and made Janie shine even more this time. Her dress was tight fitting and sequins everywhere. It was a backless dress, so they put her hair down to one side, and her makeup was more sultry. Hunter came in again and grabbed Janie. They went down to the car and once again Logan didn't give Janie a glance.

"Could you try to stay awake?" Logan elbowed Janie. She was falling asleep from the concerto. Janie tried to keep her eyes open but they kept falling. Her head started to fall to Logan's side. Logan popped his shoulder up and made Janie wake up. "You're making me look bad. Could you go to the bathroom and freshen up? God, why are you like that? Could you at least try to act high class?"
Janie excused herself and made her way out of the theater and into the bathroom. She sat on the toilet and cried. "Why am I even doing this?" she sobbed. "He's always treating me like crap."
There was a soft knock on the door. "Excuse me? Do you need a tissue?" Janie sniffed up all the snot and wiped her tears with her hands. "No. Thank you."
"Do you need to talk about it?" the old lady asked.
"I-I just need a moment."
"Come out here." She coaxed.
