The Next James Herriot

by ThenextHerriot

This is a story about a young girl who wants to be a vet, like her idol, James Herriot. Along the way through high school, and University, she meets all sorts of draw-backs and hold-ups. This is by the same author (ME!) as the two stories written by Booksbeatfilms. Please r&r, and let me know what you think should happen in the next chapters! Rated K coz i'm paranoid.

1. Chapter 1

ASTRID'S POV

My name is Astrid St. Clare, but most people know me as Azzy. I'm 14 years old, and i'm going back to school for my tenth year in less than two weeks. Recently, I've moved to a farm in the countryside, and I absolutely love it. You see, both sets of grandparents each own farms, and I've always helped out.

At school, I've been offered the opportunity to do an Agriculture course, and I've decided to do it. I'm going to be spending a day a week at one of two farms; my own and my mate's, Jack's. My school wants me to go to university, and I've come up with a solution which allows me to do both farming and go to university:

I'm going to become a vet. Or, at least, I'm going to train to be.

I'm going to be the next James Herriot.

The only problem is, I hadn't anticipated so many hold-ups, and so much trouble. I certainly hadn't expected the boy known as Zane Ivory.
