Wild Card

Ripley Turner.
She's a kickass girl living a kickass life in New York City. People call her 'The Girl On The Streets' or 'That Turner Girl'.
Her tale isn't a sob story; to be frank, it's quite harsh, but it's realistic.

Evangelina Jones. Daughter to one of the biggest families in New York. Perfect family, the neighbors would say. I want to be her, the girls at her school would say. The perfect life, everyone would say! Yeah...no. Evangelina hated everything about her life.

Gemma Williams was an attractive girl with brown hair and hazel eyes.
She caught almost all the eyes of the guys at Copper Cove High. She was also popular, but she trusted no one with her secret; her family was very poor.

And then there was sweet Harmony Kinderwell, who loved to write but was very sarcastic and feisty. Probably the most sensible in the group. But she too hides a secret to herself, one she covers up with her personality.

Selene Brookes scared nearly everyone on the streets, from the 10 year olds eating candy to even the dirty stray cats. She doesn't MEAN To, but she can't help it, considering her history was more than rough...

Well, they're what you'd call normal Citizens of New York City in the year 2001. But an abandoned train station, a flash of light and fate changed it all... for the best and for the worst.
