Jenna's POV:
'I was sitting under a tree in this magical land. I was doing my homework and I guess I fell asleep. Before I knew it, there was this white steed, racing towards me, very gracefully. Then, he turned into this man. A very cute one in fact. He smiled, leaned down, and.....'
RINGGG RINGGG RINGGG!!
My eyes burst open. Today was Monday. I was thinking about what my dream meant. Why had Brandon come up in my dream? He was the guy I liked since the 7th grade. And now, we're in the senior year together and I'm in none of his classes. I'm in all the SPED classes and he's in all the high honor rolls. I got out of my bed and took out a pen and paper from my desk. I decided to write a love note and finally confess my feelings to Brandon. The letter went a little like this:
Dear Brandon,
I had a dream last night, and it was about a white steed. It moved so gracefully, then it turned into a human. That human was you. I was so surprised, and was even more surprised when you leaned down to kiss me. I then woke up, without kissing you in my dream. To tell you the truth, I've liked you since the 7th grade and I never stopped. I know I'm stupid and that you think I'm never sure of anything. But, I'm sure of this. I like you, Brandon. A lot. And I'm hoping that you will like me back someday. Now is fine. But I really do like you.
Love, Jenna <3

I then went to school that day. I slipped the note into Danny's locker and went to my classes. Then after the first three periods, it was my lunch period. Luckily, I had the lunch periods with my two best friends, Jade and Stephanie. I told them about my dream and about how I slipped the note into Brandon's locker in the morning. I just hope he got it. Then, Jade pointed to something.
"Isn't that Brandon?!" She whisper-yelled to us. Steph and I looked up to see Brandon standing there, looking around on the second floor. God, he looked hot. Then, Stephanie made me snap out of my thoughts.
"OHHH BRANNDONNNNN!!~~" She yelled as loud as she could. I shot daggers at her with my eyes.
"what are you doing?!"
"OH, JENNA! HI THEREEE!! I NEVER NOTICED YOU WERE HERE! WHY DON'T YOU SAY HI TO BRANDONN WITH MEE~~?" Ahh I see what she's doing. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HER?! She's embarrasing me in front of Brandon! Just like Steph and Jade wanted Brandon looked our way. He came downstairs, and gave me the once-over.
"Are you Jenna Jerome?" He asked. I slowly nodded, not knowing what he was going to do. Then Brandon handed me an envelope. I was so happy. Maybe he liked me too! I was grinning from ear to ear. I could die right here in this spot, at this moment. I know that sounds cliche, but it's true.
"um, do I open this?" He nodded. "Right here? In front of everyone?" He nodded again. I excitedely opened the envelope, only to find my letter to him still intact. I opened it up, and saw that he had made corrections to it. I had gotten a D- from him. I should've known. How would a guy like him, who could have any girl he wanted, like me? After all, every single girl in the school is head over heels for him. Brandon smirked and walked away confidently. What was I thinking?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I went home that day, with Jade, Stephanie, and Jake. Jake liked me a lot and was one of my best friends, but I just didn't feel the same way towards him. We were eating some fruit and ice cream to celebrate my succesful moving. Everyone was so happy. Then, the house started shaking. Am i hallucinating? The house shook even more and cracks started to appear. Then, part of the ceiling collapsed right where I was standing. Thank god Jake moved me at the last second.
More things started tumbling down, and pretty soon, the house itself was starting to collapse. We all ran out, and my dad brought one thing with him. My only memory of my mother. We stood there, taken aback as we watched my house collapse into pieces, along with every single thing we had, except for the thing dad was holding. The people from CNN came and started helping us. They tried to find things that survived, but there was none. I was devastated.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day, I was moping around school when I spotted Jake, holding up a huge box with money in it and a microphone, yelling out,
"EVERYONE! DONATE SOME MONEY TO HELP JENNA! HER HOUSE RECENTLY COLLAPSED AND SHE HAS NOTHING LEFT! DONATE TO HELP HER! DONATE! DONATE! DONATE!"
Ugh. How embarrasing. I tried to hide my face and went along, but Jake notice me. Oh poop. At that same moment, Brandon just HAD to pass by and notice what Jake was doing. He took out his wallet and got out two one dollar bills.
"IS THAT ALL YOU GOT BRANDON?!" Jake yelled. No no.. He will just make things worse for me. I was trying to HIDE the fact that I had nothing left. Luckily, dad had some old friends that lived in this town and were happy to let us stay as long as we wanted. We were going to buy new stuff with the money we had left and take it there.
Anyway, Brandon was about to donate the money into the box, but i stopped him with my hand. He gave me a questioning look. I tried not to get lost in his chocolate eyes that mesmerized me whenever i looked into them.
"No. I don't want you to donate money." I stated matter-of-factly. "I don't want your freaking money from your freaking wallet." Brandon looked very surprised. Oh yea!! I'm so boss. "You've been so cruel to me ever since I met you. In the few times I met you, all you've shown is hatred. I don't want your money. Go away." So, he was about to. Then...
"Jenna, you're so stupid. You're in the bottom classes and can't even catch up to that. Lets make a bet. If you get into the top 50's for the finals, I will piggy back you 3 times around the school property." OMIGOD I HAVE TO GET INTO THE TOP 50'S!!!!
"You're on."
