Scarlett O'Hara was a 16 year old 11th grader. She went to Clayton High School, the best in the state. Her family, consisting of her parents, her, and her 2 sisters, lives in a mansion a few blocks away from her father's company. As she walked down the hall, several of her friends said hello, along with every guy she passed. The Tarleton twins came up to her, and Stuart said, "Hey! You'll dance with us at Ashley's party, right?" He looked at her with the puppy-dog look.

She turned her head in both of their directions, and pretended to ponder the question. "Maybe…"she said, her smile growing broad. Then, Brent picked up saying," We'll tell you a secret!" "About whom?" she asked, stopping in front of math class. "Ashley

Wilkes." Ashley! She thought. "Okay, spit it out." "Word is, he's dating Melanie Hamilton." The words were like a whip being lashed at her heart. She said in a quavering voice, "I'll dance with you two." then walked through the door in disbelief.

Scarlett found her seat next to her best friend, Cathleen Calvert. Mrs. Merrifield started speaking, "We have a new student coming today. He should be here-"

"Right…now!"

Guess who!
