Twenty year old Jenna Clausen has one chance to change her life…

Leaving the darkness of her life two hundred miles behind her,
Jenna arrives at the one place that could save her…college. Pushing her fears

There is however, one flaw to Cale’s plan, Ryan Kitson. Also a fellow Brother in the House, he is a Cale-approved study partner for Jenna. But when her feelings for Ryan start to grow, Jenna has another decision to make….one she couldn't possibly have understood the dangers of.

The empty notebook page
stared back at me, making my restlessness worse. I chewed on my pen, another
nervous habit of mine, as the instructor blabbed on about study guides and
scheduled quizzes. This morning had gone so far off track, I wasn’t sure how to
recover.
I shifted casually in my
seat, acting like I couldn’t get comfortable. Honestly, it was to sneak looks
at Ryan. Leaned back into his seat, one arm draped over the back of his chair
and the other resting on his leg, his bad boy demeanor on full display. He was
so confident in himself, so comfortable in his own skin.
I sighed quietly and
shifted in my seat again, glancing over at him. He looked like the perfect
student, until I noticed a smirk forming. He ran his tongue over his bottom lip
and nipped at the side of it with his teeth. Without looking at me, he reached
into his bag and held out a piece of paper. It was his schedule.
Keeping his eyes down, he
leaned into me and whispered, “Why don’t you look to see if we have any other
classes together? You’re making me self-conscious with all that staring.”
A small gasp slipped from
my lips and it felt like the floor dropped out of the room. Not only had I been
caught, but he called me out. Somehow this morning just got worse.
I reached for the paper but
he grabbed my hand. Amusement flared in his blue eyes as he pulled me toward
him. He was enjoying my embarrassment a little too much.
“And please, a favor? Stop
twirling that pen around in your mouth like that. Unless you have an evil plan
to make me, and every other guy in here, fail this class miserably.”
My shoulders slumped as I
tried to fight back the humiliation that rolled through me. I looked away
immediately and hid my face behind his schedule. He chuckled as he leaned back
into his chair, the sound of it warmed my heart.
►AUTHOR BIO◄
If they’d
known about ADHD when I was little, my Ritalin dosage would’ve been OFF THE
CHARTS!!
It goes
without saying; I spent A LOT of time by myself after the teacher moved my desk
out into the hallway. ** Silver lining** With all that alone time on my
hands, I used my imagination to make the world interesting.
When I was
little, people said I had an "active imagination". In elementary
school, teachers called me a "daydreamer". My high school
counselor said I needed to “learn how to focus" and my college professors
warned me to "buckle down". Before I knew it, it was time to
“grow up”.
So that’s
what I did. I grew up, got married and had five kids. I work as a full time
nurse, active in my church, part of the most amazing book club, blog about
books with my best friend and cart small humans to school, football, theater, dance
ect. Oh yeah...and write a bit when I can and now people say I’m
"talented".
Moral of my
story: Hug your kids, embrace their differences… love them for who they are.
Someday, the traits you think are struggles now…Might be what makes them the
happiest!
