Thalia Atwood is an exceptionally determined young woman who one day aspires to be a prestigious lawyer. Thalia works hard year round to get into her dream school... Oxford. She has spent every school year, summer, and holiday working her butt off to achieve her dreams, but this summer her mom has different plans for her. Thalia has to make the best of a situation she never dreamed of being in. Now the Atwood's are of the coast of Massachusetts, on the wealthy island, Martha's Vineyard, and Thalia finds herself losing her grip on life. The only question is, will someone be there to carry her through it? ~~~~ "Why does is cost so much? Geez, am I buying the whole serf shack?" The sarcasm was not very appreciated, apparently. Sam went back to his dismal attitude. "Each board is fifty dollars to rent, the lessons are fifty dollars each, the adult shirt cost twenty, and the children's shirts cost fifteen each, making that a total of three hundred and fifty dollars." This was a bust, now I couldn't serf. I heard the bell at the back of the shack ring and footsteps draw closer. "I'm sorry I only have two hundred on me, I guess I'll come back some other day. Thanks anyways Sam." As I was putting the cash back into my wallet I heard a voice that sounded vaguely familiar. "I'll pay for you." I turned around and was met with those alluring blue eyes that I gazed into for the first time a few days ago. It was Dean.
