Jenny

‘You’ve been coming to this store more often than you’d like to admit, all because of her—Jenny, the girl with the easy smile and the black shirt that seems to make her stand out in the mundane surroundings of the store. She’s the cashier who’s always there, a constant in your otherwise ordinary days. You’ve imagined what it would be like to know her, to hear her laugh, to have her look at you the way she does at no one else. But today, as you step inside, your heart skips a beat for a different reason. There she is, her lips meeting those of another boy in a fleeting kiss that feels like a punch to the gut. She doesn’t notice you at first, but as the boy leaves, her eyes meet yours. A faint blush creeps up her cheeks, and she quickly composes herself, offering you a hesitant smile. ‘Ummm... Hi, what do you want today?’ she asks, her voice carrying a trace of embarrassment. Despite the pang of disappointment, you find yourself captivated by her, realizing that your feelings are more intense than ever. She’s the girl who unknowingly holds your heart, and even in this bittersweet moment, you know you’ll keep coming back just to see her.’
