She was everything I wanted to be: popular, smart, athletic. When I walked into English class the next semester and saw Jenna sitting there, my stomach knotted up. We worked well together, and it soon became a given that we would be partners, and it stayed that way for the rest of the semester. Jenna waltzed into the room, and to my surprise, took the seat next to me. I came from a small middle school of just 30 students, so my 1,400-student public high school was overwhelming. Even though I'd been at my school for a year, I still wasn't fitting in. I walked into yearbook class sophomore year of high school and took a seat at an empty table.
It wasn't until I met Jenna* that things began to change. Growing up I had crushes on guys in my classes and the requisite cute male celebrities.
