Arbor Webster, a Teen Wolf fanatic and quite the Southern tomboy, was forced to be whisked off to the lovely and precious state of New York. While it wasn't exactly her best plan, moving from her usual muddy country house to a classy and uptown chic city, it was the plan nonetheless and once the boxes were set in the house it wouldn't change a thing. Her parents were the type of "go-get-'em-tiger" people, so when she suggested the idea of living in New York for schooling purposes, they were like, "Oh my gosh, Arby! You can totally leave!" And so Arbor, thinking this was the best plan of hers yet, was completely and utterly stumped when she discovered that this wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Because first off, the girls are completely rude. When she's all dressed up in her Auburn sweatshirt and jeans, the girls there are utterly snobby and prance around in their short skirts. Thinking they were feminists, the Alabama native swooped away. Her life practically was oblivious to boys, however, so when a boy starts crushing on her in class, it's not the best feeling. Also, she's having a counselling problem at school; she's forced to write down ("-- in a narrative way!") what goes on. She's supposed to call it "Arbor's Studies in Femininity," but she despises the title, so she continues onto the casual, "The New Girl." Because it's not enigmatic; it's her current situation. Arbor Webster is the new girl surrounded by feminists. Arbor also has no idea how to do this. [an entry for @beautyatwork's studies in femininity challenge]

She lived a routine life and was quite happy with how things went. Until she found her talent. She could play, and she could play well. The only problem was that she was a girl and the only team that allowed her in was an all-boys team. Find out what happens when Blair secretly joins a team of boys, hiding her gift from her family and working with her arch-nemesis who also happens to be the school's golden boy.

Katia Jones is sick of stereotypes and standards. Daughter of Carter Jones, one of the most respected business people in all of Massachusetts, and Violet Jones, his quiet little wife. All of Katia's life, she has been taught to filter and to always leave room for the men around her. Well, let's just say that Katia doesn't really follow the standards of a classic woman. At least according to her father. So when he sends Katia off to a prestigious Catholic boarding school where men rule, Katia knows that she needs to do the right thing: teach the girls what being a woman is all about.
