On Being Jen: A Short, What If Story

By S. R. Mallery

Imagine sitting behind JEN, the most perfect girl in your high school. Susan may have gotten herself a full scholarship to a high-priced, classy college because she's really smart, but none of that matters. To her it's more than clear––Jen has it ALL.
Or does she? Find out what happens when reality goes out the window. Bottom line? Don't be so quick to envy people. In the end, you may find out just how good your own life is.

S. R. Mallery

A USA TODAY Best Selling author and two-time READERS' FAVORITE GOLD MEDAL winner, S. R. Mallery--as her fans say--"brings history to life." They say I'm as eclectic as my characters. I've been a singer, a composer, a calligrapher, a quilt artist, and an ESL/Reading teacher. But it is the world of writing historical fiction and time travel that I feel I've truly come "home." Why? Because then I get to do my second love: Research.

Dedicated to Teenagers all over the world...

Jen Mitchell. Jenny. The bane of my existence. The reason why someone like me, with my pudgy body, endlessly frizzy hair no-matter-how-hard-I-try-to-straighten-it and goofy glasses, has no business sitting directly behind such a goddess. Still, I can’t help looking; the way she turns her head to the right, then left, as her silky, naturally blonde hair takes on a life of its own. It doesn’t swish; it floats as it falls back into place with a softness that begs to be stroked.

I keep wondering what it would be like to be her––to surely have the nonstop phone calls from the captain of the football team, the most popular girls at school scheming to go shopping with me, and everyone vying for my attention.
