Penelope saw herself as just an ordinary girl with nothing special about her. But she also thought there was something beyond great waiting for her somewhere.
She didn't think of herself as "hot" but just okay,maybe this was because she was always in the shadow of almost every friend she had. They were what you'd call gorgeous and they always got the guy.
Pen just wanted everything to rush to where she'd call living the life but she didn't think this much longer as she wished everything to slow down when she crossed pathways with Eric.

Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.
