4 A Proposal

CHAPTER FOUR A PROPOSAL Miss Shelly was the nicest, smartest teacher Franny had ever had. Franny used to think that if only she dressed differently and wore her hair another way, she would be perfect. "You're a wonderful student," Miss Shelly said. "Thank you," Franny said. "I like school. Especially science. Especially the gooey parts of science."

"I like the gooey parts too," Miss Shelly said, and they both laughed. "I'm a mad scientist, you know," Franny whispered. "That must be very rewarding," Miss Shelly said, but she didn't really believe that Franny was a real-life mad scientist. Franny could tell.

"But I wonder if you might be a little lonely sometimes," Miss Shelly continued. "I am lonely, sometimes," Franny admitted. "But I don't understand the other kids, and I don't know how to make friends with them." "I think you can figure it out," said Miss Shelly. "You're smart." Franny folded her arms. "I don't know, Miss Shelly..."

"Think of it as an experiment," Miss Shelly said. Franny's eyes lit up. A wide grin crawled across her face. An experiment was the one thing she just could not resist, and Miss Shelly knew it.

"The experiment"—Franny pointed into the air the way mad scientists do when they think about conducting an experiment—"begins tomorrow."
