Jenna and the Great Necklace Caper

A few weeks ago a very controlling, pushy boy friend of Jenna gave her a necklace. It looked like a kind of costume jewelry item and she wore it around for about a week.

At that time, at the monthly roller skating bash she and the kid decided their relationship was over so she returned the necklace. He immediately gave it to another girl. She broke up with him about a week later and he gave it to yet another girl.

Fast forward to yesterday and I get home from work to find my garage blocked by a silver car. This kid and his mom were over talking to Jenna. The mom thought that Jenna stole the necklace and it turns out it was real diamonds. Very expensive.

Of course in the conversation the mom said ‘my son used to lie and steal all the time but he doesn’t do that anymore’. (No, no red flags there).

After they left I wanted to find out the truth so I had Jenna call her friends, on speaker phone, one after another so they couldn’t call each other to make up a story and sure enough they all backed up Jenna’s version of what happened.

This morning before school this kid apparently screamed a lot at Jenna and really freaked her out. She ended up calling and texting me like crazy to come and get her because he really scared her.

When I went to get her she had to file an incident report. When one of the ladies behind the desk at the office asked what the boys name was and Jenna told her, the lady said ‘Oh him, he’s guilty’. And two others in the office agreed so he must already have a great reputation.

So to wrap up loose ends I called the mom just now to let her know that I fully believe Jenna had nothing to do with stealing the necklace. She figured by now that this was the case. And when I told her that Jenna filed an incident report at school she responded ‘Really? They usually call me when he gets those’. So I’m guessing she’s got her hands full.

But Jenna can take a nice long boat ride and forget her troubles until next time she has to go to school.
