Description:
Heather has everything she ever wanted; money,
clothes, friends, popularity and parents that adored her. One terrible day, she
is uprooted to a small town in Alabama
with an uncle she doesn’t know.
The small town of Huckleburg
was nothing like Manhattan .
Country rednecks owned the town and no one accepted Yankees from New York . Heather didn’t
think things could get worse until a tornado comes and blasts through the small
town. Heather has to lose herself to rediscover what life is all about. She
meets two guys that she can’t decide between who she really wants.
Join Heather as she discovers that there is more
to life than money and fame. Will Heather ever fit in and find true love or
will she stay an outsider living in the south?
Heather was awakened by the sound of her alarm. Today
is the first day of the rest of my life, she thought as she stretched and
yawned. She jumped up out of her bed, hit the silence button on the alarm, and
went to her closet to pick out her clothes for the day. After looking through
all her clothes, she sighed deeply.
What can I wear to this illiterate, rustic
school. If I dress up, then people will think I’m a snob and snub me. If I
dress down, then I will blend into the crowd, and I will not be able to
accomplish anything. I guess I have my answer. I need to be seen in order to
make a difference, whether good or bad.
Heather picked out her black leather skirt, a
white dress shirt, a black fringed soft leather jacket and her black leather
boots. At least I’m wearing boots, that way I’ll blend in somewhat, she
thought. She styled her hair the way she always did and put on her makeup with
a little more emphasis than usual.
Heather heard a knock on the door, “Yes, what do
you want?” she asked. “I’m going to be outside. My cotton pickin’ cow,
Molly, got out of the fence, and I have to round her up. Be back after a
while,” Mick said through the door. “All right, but I’m leaving in a few
minutes, so I’ll see you after school,” Heather replied.
“Okey dokey, see ya later,” Mick responded.
“Okey dokey! I can’t believe I’m living with a
redneck, dirt farmer,” she said as she rolled her eyes. Heather glanced at the
alarm, “Crap, I’m going to be late”, she said as she grabbed her purse and ran
out the door. The door slammed behind her as she ran to the car. She looked
around for Mick, but didn’t see him anywhere. I guess he’ll realize I’m gone
when he doesn’t hear from me, she thought.
As Heather drove down the narrow gravel road she
looked for the right road to take to get her to the school. She saw Mick with a
belt whipping his cow. “Now I’m seen everything,” she said as she laughed.
As Heather approached the school, a green ford
truck ran right in front of her. She paused for a second after giving him the
finger. I can’t believe these idiots, she thought. She pulled into the
parking space closer to the front of the school, and she looked over to the
green pickup truck.
A scruffy looking guy with long hair climbed out
of the truck. “You need to watch where your going. This ain’t New York , this is my
town,” he said very hatefully with a smirk on his face. “No, you need to watch
where you are going, you hick. You’re the one who ran in front of me,” Heather
replied as she pointed her finger at him. Heather was a little tougher than she
looked. She wasn’t going to let some corn fed hillbilly talk to her like that.
“How do you know I’m from New York anyway?” she asked.
“That is for me to know and you to find out,” he
replied as he turned away from her.
Heather wasn’t used to people treating her this
way, especially boys. She was the most popular girl in the whole school at Manhattan High
School . Now she was in a place that was
oblivious to the fact that she wore an eighteen hundred dollar Armani jacket
and Louboutin boots. How can anyone not care about fashion, she thought.
Fashion is what made her so popular. Everyone in Manhattan wanted what she had. She was the
envy of all the girls at her school. Now she felt like she was an outsider
looking in through a dark stained glass and no one could see her.
