**Part 1-3 synopsis:**
*Well, if you’re reading this, then you probably know the back story. But if you’re just coming into it, my name is Jenny, and this series is a collection of stories about the strangest, and most wonderful year of my life: the year I turned 18.*
*When I was 15, my mom married my step-dad John. It took me a while to warm up to him, but we eventually became very close. As I finally blossomed into a woman, we became even closer. We started flirting, and cuddling on a regular basis, at least when no one was watching. It was all very confusing since John was only 15 years older than I was (my mom had me a young age), and he was really handsome! It all came to a head when I finally outdid myself, and took some mascara from Target without paying for it. My mom decided it was time to bring the belt back into my life.*
