WORDS: Prints. Frames. Cleans

Jaden's trip to the beach is so overwhelming, she can only sit on the floor in her cozy bedroom and wish that she'd had a better time. The prints are spread on the floor of her little adventures on the shore, where she took photos of starfish and creatures of the water. If only she'd remembered to have spent more time with the girl she met at the seaside shack, she might have her picture. But Jaden was shy and knew she couldn't keep up with the bold Francine, who was friends with everyone. Jaden fought back tears, but her frames held the tears like a bad rainstorm, so she cleans her glasses and thinks of the dark-haired girl's laugh.
