FIGHTING TO BE HEARD
DISCLAIMERAUTHOR'S NOTE
Hello, Horizon! No, I haven't abandoned Higher Ground, people, even though it may have seemed like I had. I've just been busy with school and working on a series in Power Rangers. While I'm not finished with the series, I am currently in between episodes and decided to send in this HG fic. I want to thank JolinarCarter for putting many of my HG stories in their archive. I am deeply honored that you liked my work that much. I'd also like to urge Keke1 and Melms213 to continue with their stories. The wait is driving me crazy! This story does have a reporter at Horizon just like in "Exposed", but unlike Angela, this reporter isn't undercover. As usual, original characters belong to Fox Family. I only own the reporter, Belinda Jordan and boss, Michael Peters. And as far as I know, I made up the name of the paper. And just so you know where this story is being placed, this is directly after "Because I Love You", but Kat hasn't graduated yet and Shelby's younger sister, Jess is a Cliffhanger.
CHAPTER ONE: THE REPORTER
Belinda Jordan, star reporter of D.C. Gazette, stared at her boss, Michael Peters.
"Why aren't you supporting me in this?" she wondered.
"Because I honestly don't think an article on a school for troubled teens in the mountains is hard hitting news," Michael replied.
"Michael, come on. These kinds of schools are a joke and everyone knows it. I just want to prove it," Belinda protested.
"Belinda, are you sure it's worth it?" Michael wondered.
"Of course it's worth it, Michael. I mean, come on. I'll bet you anything that Horizon is just another school that has loused up in trying to straighten out a bunch of spoiled, rich brats and I'll get the story to prove it," Belinda said.
