Jenna's Book Pick Novels & Stories

Jenna clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she spoke with a look of determination in her eyes. Hearing this, Bethany blew her a flying kiss. Jenna simply looked at her with a solemn gaze. Just as silence ensued between them, Erica walked into the room carrying a glass of milk and snacks. “Jenna, here are your snacks. Have a bite,” Erica said as she walked into the room. Jenna looked in her direction without saying a word. She stared back at the phone. Then, she kept the phone on the bed and went to the closet to get her laptop computer.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open a sliver. Chloe was curled up in bed, a picture book open on her lap. But it wasn't the familiar bedtime stories Amelia usually read. This one had a garish, cartoonish cover that looked more like a comic book than a storybook. And the voice coming from beside her wasn't Amelia's soothing tones, but Jenna's bright, overly enthusiastic one. My stomach lurched. What in the world was going on? "And then the princess, with her magical sparkly dress, flew off on her unicorn to defeat the evil dragon!" Jenna exclaimed, her voice dripping with drama.

The steps are getting closer. I growled, "Someone's coming." "We need to hide!" We hurriedly replaced the books and hid behind a big bookcase. The door creaked open and I held my breath. I was shocked to see Jenna enter. With a worried glance around, she made her way directly to the area we had just been looking for. "What is she doing here?" Hardin mumbled something. I shushed him and watched carefully as Jenna took out and opened a book. She produced what appeared to be an old piece of paper from inside.

But it was that lazy look that made her feel like a thorn was piercing through her. "Jenna..." Michael's voice could be heard again behind the woman, "What's wrong?" Apparently he had already decided to leave, but the sound of the book falling made him anxious and he came back to check on Jenna. Jenna ignored him and bent down to pick up the book from the floor. Meanwhile, Michael looked at Sean and felt that this was probably the man who had been in the car that day. Michael crouched down and helped Jenna pick up the book, but Jenna pushed him hard and yelled, "Go away!"

Lilly watches Anna take Jenna inside; then, she flops down on the step with a huff. ‘I hate that woman. Why won’t anyone listen to me that she’s mean to that baby? One of these days, I’m going to kill Anna, then I’ll run away with Jenna.’ The scene fades before my eyes, and I turn to Bane. “Bane, who’s Jenna? Lilly never mentioned her to me.” Bane sighs. ‘Jenna was an abandoned baby found on the steps of Dalgaard Mansion almost seventeen years ago.’ Goddess, why would anyone abandon their baby?

Cole noticed his sister’s smile fading at the mention of Andrew Pierce’s name so he quickly changed the subject, “Jenna Smith’s computer doesn’t have anything else worth looking at…. Hmm, what’s this, a book manuscript?” “I believe so. Jenna is a published author, she has a few books under her name,” Caroline explained.

Shit, my wolf would have been banging on his chest if he could. “OK, so, I placed post-it’s on most of the shelves of books that need to stay. The dumpster should arrive by ten. I placed boxes on the side that can be filled up with the books that need to stay and then be stored in the school’s basement.” Jenna spoke as she turned herself back around, walking to a table where she put her coffee down. It gave me the right opportunity to look at her while she couldn’t catch me staring at her very fine backside.

LAMIA Ten minutes later, the four of us, I had grabbed Kira on the way, sat in my room. Mike and Kel were looking a little more than awkward. I assumed they thought we were going to have a “talk” about what happened Friday night. “Here,” I said and tossed the old leather book to Kellen who was propped on the end of my bed, “Turn to page 123. And read it out loud so everyone can hear.” He flipped the pages until he came to the right one and then began to read aloud the same passage I had read. There was an eerie silence in the room when he had finished until Mike broke it.

I asked with a mischievous smirk. Jenna’s lips curved into a smirk of her own. “Tons,” she replied, her tone playful. “…But you should probably ask Kate about that. I don’t feel like it’s my place to say.” She stared me down with a challenging little smile, throwing my own words back at me. I shook my head and chuckled softly. “Kate was right,” I said. “You definitely give off Juno vibes.” Jenna raised an eyebrow. “Who’s Juno?”

My unicorn bookmark takes it's place and I gently close the book in my hands. I close my eyes and reflect on the contents of the book that I have read over a dozen times.

Communication and mingling are both my biggest weakness. My mum , Jenna Parker , has really tried her best to help me - from drama classes to public speaking.
