Amy Farrah Fowler slept deeply. Too deeply, for two reasons.
The first reason is that it was pouring outside, raining so hard that one raindrop was indistinguishable from the next, so the downpour almost sounded like a waterfall.
The second reason is that it was June 12th, the day of her high school graduation. The ceremony would begin at 9:30 AM. And the electronic clock on Amy's dresser read 7:57 AM.
Amy was all alone at home. Her parents had been away for the past five days caring for a sick relative. And they had taken the only car in the house. So Amy had to walk everywhere she went while her parents were gone.
Her black graduation gown and mortarboard were on a hanger, along with her royal blue honor sash which she earned for a 4.99 GPA. Just one hundredth of a point higher and she would be valedictorian instead of Rebecca Wordwell, who earned a perfect 5.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. Underneath the graduation gown was the dress she would wear, and beneath it were her royal blue high heels. Her breakfast was already at the table, consisting of a bowl of Cheerios and a glass of water. And her alarm clock was set. That was the good news.
What was the bad news?
Amy had unintentionally set her alarm clock for 8:00 PM.
