About This Girl || Jenlisa

The one thing Jennie Kim looked forward to every day was that letter.

Without fail, it was always there, slipped into her locker sometime throughout the day. It was kinda like a surprise. The contents were always different and were pages and pages filled with thoughts, from one word, to a picture or symbol. It had been happening for almost a month now and despite her attempts of communication with the mysterious person, she could never find a way to reply to those letters.

That day, Jennie had ran to her locker after a really had test, desperate for some kind words from the mysterious person who wrote her letters. They were never signed and Jennie couldn’t place the writing to anyone she knew. The letter fluttered to the ground once she had opened her locker, like a butterfly being released from a cage.

Jennie could feel a smile spread across her face as she began to read:

"Here are all the things you can know about me:

     -I'm a girl

     -I’m seventeen

     -I’m in one of your classes

     -I think you’re beautiful

     -I was in the crowd when you played football with the boy’s team. You’re better than most of them and I think you could easily replace one of the players.

     -And I don’t think it’s lame that you’d rather play sports than be a cheerleader."

Her heart fluttered as she read it, especially the last two points. Almost two weeks ago she had approached to play on the football team, which was typically all male. Due to several of the players being kicked off the team for their poor grades, the captain was desperate for another player. He knew that Lisa was easily by far the best athlete in the school and asked her fill in for one game. Her frame was small, but she was fast and years of working out left her decently strong.

The feeling of running across the field with a football in hand as the entire school cheered her on...there was no better feeling. There wasn’t anything that could beat the adrenaline rush when she was tackled to the ground, the extra push to get back up and beat the other team. The one thing Jennie Kim looked forward to every day was that letter.

She wanted so badly to talk to the mysterious girl who wrote the letters, to see what she looked like, to hear her voice. It was crazy to think that she might even have been falling in love with someone she’s never actually spoken to, but there was always that possibility that she knew her, and was completely unaware. ‘I’m in one of your classes.’ Jennie’s mind rotated, trying to figure out who it could be.

She ran her fingers over the letter again and realized there was something written on the back of it.

"If you want to write me, leave your letter on top of locker #923. It isn’t mine, but don't worry, I’ll get it."

Finally Jennie would have a chance to ask her something.

She scribbled a quick message on a piece of paper and re-sealed the envelope that her letter came in.

"Can i know who you are? I want to meet you so badly. Your letters make me happy every single day.

I’m gonna talk to the football coach right now. Thank you."
