"Mom.. I don't wanna be a farm girl all my life. I want to make it to the big city. I'm gonna be famous one day. Just you wait and see. I'm gonna make it out of this tiny town and make something of myself. I'm gonna be an actress, on them big screens people watch movies on. I'm gonna-"
"Karly, stop wastin' my time and get to your chores. I ain't got time for your childish nonsense. Don't you think you're a little too old to be playing pretend?" I sighed.
"Yes ma'am."
"Alright. Go along now, you have work to do."

Karly Collins was born to be a star, and she knows it. She has high hopes for making it on the big screen.
Everything falls into place when she gets her first break. She's cast as Juliet in her high school's production of Romeo and Juliet, and she has an audition with a big shot movie director in a few weeks.
Everyone knows that a certain boy has his hopes set on her. With everything that's coming up, and her future to think about, how could she possibly be thinking about boys? That's right, she can't.
Karly is willing to do anything to have her name in lights, including break a few hearts. It gives experience for her inevitable roles in romantic comedies, once she makes it big. So it's no big deal.
As long as she doesn't get her's broken in the process.
This tan legged Juliet doesn't need to take a dagger for any redneck Romeos any time soon.
