Arabella (n) - lovely, elegant
Arabella Klover's parents thought long and hard as the new baby awaited, giving her the name filled with grace and loveliness, ironically she is the exact opposite. Her life is seemingly normal compared to others, she has a roof over her head, food on the table, and clothes on her back. Other than that her security blanket is gone and she's plummeting, recently graduated, and a little frustrated for her parents leaving her right before she is shipped off the college, she embarks on a trip to unite her best friend and her cyber boyfriend.
A trip with an unfair amount good-looking people, some terrifying ex-girlfriends, and new people randomly appearing, she gets her bits of freedom right before she's off to create a life for herself.
Who knows maybe instead of plummeting she will find her center of gravity.
