Jennifer blushed as she looked into the friendly eyes of the stranger that stood before her. She felt happy and scared at the same time.
He's a stranger! What will your mom think!?
She shuddered at the thought. Jennifer lived with her dad and her abusive stepmom. Her stepmom was nice when her dad was around, but when he is out of the room, the nightmare begins. Not only does she physically abusive, she emotionally abuses her too. When her father was gone, she would call her names such as
"You are a stupid, filthy whore, just like your dead mother."
See, Jennifer's mom died a few years back, and she hated to be reminded of such. Jennifer's mom had leukemia, and she died during chemotherapy. Jennifer cried as she watched her kind, caring mother die in her arms. Now she had to put up with an abusive stepmom, and her stepsister wasn't better. Katrina, Jennifer's stepsister, loved seeing her in pain, and called her names when they were alone. Jennifer never had a boyfriend, and a boy has never had a crush on her, let alone getting a boyfriend. Katrina had many boyfriends in her life. In fact, it's almost as if she has a different boyfriend every day. Jennifer remembered when Katrina first came home with one of her boyfriends.
"Hey, Ugly Jenny, take a look at my new man."
Katrina said through evil laughter. When Jennifer didn't come, Katrina would find her, grab her by her long, brown hair, and force her to say hello.
"Say hello, you f*cking whore!"
When Katrina's boyfriend left, she would go up to Jennifer, and say:
"Man, it feels good to have a boyfriend."
She said through an evil grin. Every day, Jennifer looked through her clothes, and try on the best clothes she could find. She only did it when Katrina wasn't around. One day, Katrina saw her, and said
"Man, Jennifer, why do you try? No guy will ever like you, so why try to look good? You never do. Your gonna grow up a lonely, unhappy widow! HAHA!"

But now this was different.
"Hey, Jennifer, need a lift?"
Daniel asked Jennifer. Jennifer snapped out of her fantasies, and look at Daniel.
"S-sure..."
She said nervously. Daniel looked at her and smiled. He reached into his pocket, took out a small piece of paper, and gently put it in Jennifer's small, abused hand. He closed her hand gently.
"Please, don't open it until you get home.
He said with a smile. Daniel climbed into his car; a jet-black mustang with a convertable roof. Jennifer slowly got in the car. Daniel placed the key into the slot, revving up the engine, and drove off. Jennifer told him her adress.
"So, Jennifer."
He said, his eyes glued to the road.
"How old are you?"
She was shocked. He was obiously older, so why did he want to know?
"15...."
"Interesting. I'm 16."
He said with a smile.
"Jennifer, are you single?"
She was shocked. Why did he ask her that? Could it be.... could this stranger have a crush on Jennifer?
Nah.... no guy would ever like a girl like me....
She looked at him.
"No, i'm single. I've never had a boyfriend."
"I can't imagine why. Your so beautiful."
Daniel looked at Jennifer's eyes and smiled.
"Your also really nice."
He turned his head and faced the road. Jennifer blushed. no guy has ever said she was pretty. Now, she couldn't wait to get home.
"You have the prettiest eyes I have ever seen."
Daniel remarked. He slowly pulled up into a driveway, and Jennifer slowly got out of the car. She walked towards the door when Daniel called her.
"Hey, Jennifer."
She turned around.
"How about we meet this saturday? We can hit the mall with my buds, and maybe we can watch a movie."
"Sounds great, Daniel! I'll be there!"
