Prologue
Scarlett O'Hara walked down the hall of her high school, just like she did everyday. She was the popular girl but not really popular. By that she was friends with everyone and everyone knew of Scarlett, she just didn't have any of her real friends anymore. She had been separated from them when they re-drew the school district lines. She got sent to Atlanta Central and her friends went to West Atlanta High.
More than anything she missed Ashley her best friend and boyfriend. Yet, she smiled to her self, it would be okay. She and the rest of her crew from West were getting beautiful and going to the opening football game and dance afterwards tonight. After the game she would meet up with her man and dance the night away with the star quarterback, Ashley Wilkes. Her one, her only - her Ashley.
It was her senior year and she was separated from her friends, and because of her name everyone "wanted to be her "friend"". She was named after her great-great-grandmother who just happened to be the only woman co founder of Atlanta. Her parents as were the rest of her family were known for finding their one true love at an early age and having that love last throughout a lifetime. So it wasn't unusual by any means when Scarlett and Ashley started dating their freshman year in high school and were still dating four years later., most figured she had found her man.
Her parent's on the other hand weren't so sure. Her dad, the ever great investor/marketer/entrepreneur Samuel O'Hara, didn't like the looks of Ashley and his precious Scarlett together. He believed his Scarlett belonged with her other best friend Rhett Butler. Yet, his wife the ever loyal and partner, Sara, was grounded to the fact that as long as the boy treated her little girl okay and she was happy that was all that mattered. However, Scarlett's four older brothers agreed with their father, constantly making jokes that Ashley was a wee bit "weak wristed:" Her brother's agreed that she was better off with Rhett, someone they trusted with their sister's heart, someone with whom they got along with, and someone they knew could take care of Scarlett no matter what situation she managed to get her self in. Scarlett took that all in stride as she continued to date Ashley, never once really paying attention to what any one thought or said of her. A valuable lesson her father and mother both taught her early on in life.
