Jeffery Adkins didn't know alot of things. He didn't know the digits of pi or the difference between first and fourth down in a football game. But if there was one thing he did know it was that he was absolutely without a doubt one hundred percent in love with his neighbor and childhood friend Anna Lepski. From her raven hair that fell neatly just below her waistline, to her ocean blue eyes, and her breathtakingly beautiful smile. In his eyes she was flawless. It wasn't until she went away for awhile for a psychiatric evaluation that Jeffery started to rethink her flawlessness. She was different now in a way. She wasn't doing her makeup or washing her hair, she was jumpier, she stared off at nothing alot, and weirdest of all she spoke to people that weren't there..
