Chapter 4 – Why?

Jenna was on her way to the beach yearning for Bradin to be there too. All of the sudden she felt someone touch her back, so she thought it was one of those perverted guys so she turned around and slapped him. Then she realized that it was Bradin.

" I'm so sorry. I thought you were some guy who wanted to make a move on me, but I guess you're not the kind of guy, huh?" she asked feeling guilty.

" It's ok. No, I'm not that kind of guy. I don't usually hit on girls that quick. I actually get to know them before I do that." He quickly said.

Jenna's face was all red like she just got slapped. She was thinking of asking Bradin to go eat lunch with her but she was afraid of him rejecting her. With some hesitation, she decided to ask him anyways.

" Hey, Bradin do you want to go eat lunch with me? It's ok if you are busy, I don't mind going by myself." She asked sweetly, afraid he will be busy.

" Sure, I was going to go eat lunch anyways. Where do you want to go?" he asked excitedly, reaching for her hand.

" Anywhere…" she said smiling, right when her cell phone rang.

"Hello? Uh-huh… I'm about to go eat lunch with a friend. Oh really? OMG! Have you called Dad yet? How did that happen? Ok, tell her to sit tight." End of Conversation

" What was that? What happened?" Bradin asked anxiously, hoping nothing bad was going on.

" I have to go. I'm really sorry." Jenna said as tears were forming in her eyes.

" Why? Did I do anything wrong? Are you mad at me?" he asked as he was thinking if he had rushed things. He was planning to get her number and call her but she ran off so quickly that he couldn't. Oh well, he'll try to see her again tomorrow.
