Vance: Don’t you hate when your parents have your whole life planned out for you? When they tell you what to do, from what you wear down to who you can date? I mean my parents ‘know’ what college I’m supposed to attend and what career path to take.
Harley: At least, you’ll have a bright future! My dad wants me to follow in his footsteps and become the leader of his criminal drug dealing company. I don’t even want that! I actually want to go to college surprisingly, but noo that’s not going to happen.
These two have known who the other one is their entire life. They grew up in the same town and went to the same school. The thing is they have never formally met, why you ask? Because of their social class. In their town there are the Heights and the Hoods. The Heights are the rich kids with the new cars and nicest clothing, who live on the east side of town. The Hoods are the poorer kids who cant afford as much, if they have a car they either stole it or rebuilt it; they live on the west side of town.
Most of the time you don’t see a Height in the west and you never see a Hood in the east; its just unnatural. But how did they finally encounter, how did they finally meet? Well lets just say ones fed up and the other is doing their job. Do they become friends? Lovers, maybe? Can they make it through to the end with their different social classes? With their different friends, family’s, life styles. Being completely opposite, might just not work out for them.
Inspired by The Outsiders (The book) and Romeo and Juliet (The Movie).

HARMONY
Her father left. The perfect house in the perfect neighborhood. Claire needed her father. Her mother works hard, but hard to keep the neighbors impressed. Then, her dad runs away to be a rock band roadie. Her 4.5 AP Nerdfest brother is accused of raping and murdering a girl with Special Needs. And when she and her best friend go on a runaway road trip--they end up in a truck with sex traders. Claire's world spins out of control--until it doesn't. It is 2008 and In 2008 the whole world changed. And not just because the iphone came out in 2007. It wasn't just the families of the OC Housewives that were living a reality show; so many families seemed to be all about "the house" and not "the home." Sunglasses cost hundreds of dollars and "bags" were thousands. Everything had a label that said you spent a lot of money. People went crazy buying another house, a boat, a Hummer (at 10 miles to the gallon). I distinctly remember two couples, in their late 30s, who were shopping together in Toys R Us. They had a video camera and were discussing the "rules" to this shopping trip. The rules were they had to look into the camera and say what they were buying, for who and why. And the carts had to be overflowing with toys. It was as if they had dreamed their entire lives of doing a "who cares how much it costs" shopping spree at Toys R Us for their children. Just recklessly spending on a bunch of STUFF. That was 2007. And then came 2008. But, more disturbing to me, was the impact it had on families. I think moms and dads lost themselves in providing stuff for their kids and not giving their kids time. And I saw the kids suffer because of it. So, I did a little research and a lot of observing and I wrote a mostly fictional story about an upper-middle class family in the OC. It explores (it simple terms) what was going on in the economy and what teenagers really want from their parents...Complete
