Jennifer was in a state of shock. Her new home resembled a beach resort hotel room. However, a mysterious voice in her mind informed her that this was Jennifer’s second time to experience a change in scenery.
Jennifer experienced a sharp, pulsating headache that ticked like a clock in her forehead. Jennifer's past memories and experiences started to look different. All the snapshots from her past life were altered and rearranged to fit the location of her new home. Rather than going out with her friends to skateboard on the city's gray streets filled with skyscrapers. She saw herself on the beach and heading straight towards the clashing waves to hop on her new surfboard with her friends by her side.
This was followed by a memory where her father asked Jennifer to hop into his car. Otto didn’t tell Jennifer where he was taking her until they parked in front of a enigmatic clinic and her father told Jennifer that she was going to get her breast augmentation operation. Jennifer hugged her dad with tears of joys dropping down from her eyes. This was her dad’s birthday present for her fifteen year old daughter. She had wished to have the largest breasts among all the students at the school. Having her wish fulfilled by her father made Jennifer happy.
It was pretty normal for her dad to open his wallet at every whim her daughter came up with. It didn’t matter if she wanted all the shoes in the mall, new clothes, a cup of iced coffee, or a pedicure. If it had a price. It was hers. Jennifer hugged her dad every time he bought her something, and then… Then the memories at the mall with her dad became fuzzy. She couldn’t remember what happened after that. Jennifer wasn't sure if it was a good or a bad thing that she couldn’t remember the moments what happened after her dad had bought her something.
Jennifer shook her head. It felt strange to remember things she knew she hadn’t experienced herself. It felt as if she was watching a movie of someone else’s life that mimicked her name. She made an effort to recall her time at Newport High School. Jennifer remembered a vivid memory of herself sitting in the school’s cafeteria.
She was seated at a table with the most popular teenagers at her school. Jennifer laughed like a pampered princess and casually flaunted the hefty price of her midriff-exposing tube top and the curved skin-colored leggings to her friends. Everyone at the table were jealous of her high position in the social food chain. No one couldn’t ignore her because of her enhanced, voluptuous body and expensive taste in clothing.
Although Jennifer loved the attention and special treatment she received from her dad, there was a hidden cost for all of this. The curse made sure that her mother's face became muddy and blurry, making it impossible for her to recall how she looked. She recalled her dad once mentioning that her birth mother lived in a place called “Glendale,” wherever that might be. No, that wasn’t right either. She was from Glendale, right? The mall was across the bridge, but even that memory became muddled. She had lived in Newport Beach for roughly seven years. There’s no way that she could have ever visited a place called “Glendale.”
It was such a headache to keep track of which memory was real and which was not. She wondered if the sludge had any connection to the forgotten and false memories. Jennifer had a gut feeling but no proof to support the truthfulness of her odd emotions. The only thing she knew for sure was the fact that her body had deflated and inflated in front of her this morning.
“There’s no hecking way that my body deflates and then expands in front of my eyes like a moody helium balloon. Am I cursed? If so, by whom?” Jennifer murmured to herself and changed her pajamas to her usual tube top and leggings.
