The silence is deafening. Jenna is staring at me, and there is nothing I can do other than stand here and take it. I honestly didn’t think I’d run into anyone out here. After talking with Tia for a while, I just needed to get some fresh air. I needed time to think about everything, and it wouldn’t work if I stayed home. Too many people can come and disturb you.

I often come to this pond to think and get away from the pressures of my future positions. It is calm and quiet out here, and I always love to sit at the pond and take in the surrounding nature. I decided to come out here, thinking I would be alone, but here Jenna is.

Looking at her, I can’t deny how gorgeous she is. Jenna stands at about 5’9, and she has long reddish brown hair. Her eyes are emerald which just makes her hair color bolder.

I’m not that loud, seeing as how my mom used to go ballistic whenever Lynn or I would smack during meals. Growing up, mom made it a point to get us to learn how annoying that was. I break off another piece of jerky and pop it into my mouth. ‘Please forgive me, mom,’ I say to the universe then I smack the hell out of the jerky. I make sure every chew is announced along with all movements inside my
