The life and troubles of Addison Parker, a leading Junior in the competitive, dramatic A show circuit.

Ashley Carter isn’t what you would call a ‘normal girl’. Normal girls put time and effort into their appearance. Normal girl go shopping, and normal girls listen to pop music and spend time talking about the latest gossip. Ashley never wears makeup. And she only goes shopping when she has to. If she has to go out, she grabs the first thing she sees, and throws it on. She’s country. Well not ‘down home country’, but close to it. She lives on the outskirts of the city, and she spends her days riding and training her horse, Talia. But considering that she still had to go to high school, she couldn’t necessarily block out the gossip. And of course, it was all about One Direction. She knew who they were, and she liked their music a bit, as in she followed them on twitter and such, but she didn’t hang posters of them around her room, and she didn’t fan-girl over ever commercial that played their music. But what happens when one simple tweet changes everything?

All Charlie wanted was to have a normal high school experience, but somehow she ended up at prestigious Fox View Riding Academy. She loves horses, especially her sweet gelding, Kodak, but it looks like he will be one of few friends she has at the academy. Enlisted by her parents as a stable hand to pay off the board for her horse at school, Charlie is automatically placed at the bottom of the food chain. To make matters worse, she ends up ruffling the feathers of the academy's queen bee and her two minions. When tempers flare and jealousy erupts, will Charlie be able to stand her ground or be crumpled by the pressure? #423 IN CHICKLIT ... Let's see how far we can take it!
