New Beginnings
It was the dawn of a new beginning. My sideshow status as the suicide freak was about to end and my creeper gear was on the verge of retirement. Thank God. Cuz the high five fake out was getting old. Really old.
For six weeks, I’d fantasized about two things. My first fantasy involved some intimate touching…of the elbow. And my second was centered on any and all parts of Matty McKibben. It wasn’t like I was obsessing. Or that I’d counted the seven times I’d caught Matty looking at me since school started. Eight if you counted the time I wiped out on the quesadilla. And I did.

Sadie’s sweetness. Why was she out to get me? New Jenna needed to employ some new principles. There are times for rising above the situation…and times when you have to sink to the bare-ass level of your enemy. So I did. And as she became the butt of everyone’s joke for once, there was nothing to say except, “You’re welcome.”
