Tossing and turning in her bed Ally Dawson decided to give up on her attempt to sleep. Instead she rose from her bed and walked towards her bedroom door opening it slightly. She could hear the distant sounds of her older brothers arguing in the hallway.

"Dallas we need more help around here we can't handle the ranch on our own." Dez stated leaning his back against the wall.

Dallas looked at Dez and sighed. "You don't think I know that! Trust me I do ok I know how hard you and Ally are working around here which is why I hired somebody."

"You did?"

"Yeah he'll be living here as well."

Ally's eyes widened at this never in a million years did she think her brothers would hire some random stranger to come and work on their land let alone live here. Most of the current hired hands working on their farm are people her dad new from the rodeo or they lived in town.

"When will he be coming?" Dez asked.

"Tomorrow."

Not wanting to hear anymore Ally closed her door and went back to sleep. When she woke up the next day she tried not to think about the conversation her brothers had and got ready for school. Once she finished she made her way downstairs and found one of her brothers sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast.

"Hey Dallas." Ally said sitting down next to him in the empty chair that already had a plate of pancakes, toast and eggs waiting for her.

Dallas looked up at his sister and smiled. "Hey how'd you sleep?"

"Ok I guess not well though with all the racket you and Dez were making."

"Yeah well sorry about that so I guess you know about the new ranch hand huh?"

Ally looked at him and nodded her head. "Yeah I do and I don't really mind, it'll just be a bit weird is all. Where will the new hand be sleeping?"

"In the guest room."

"Ok well I gotta go otherwise i'm gonna miss the bus."

"Alright well have a good day at school don't forget to muck out the stalls and feed the chickens."

"Ok I won't bye." she said kissing the top of his head and grabbing her boots that was by the front door and ran out the house.

"Bye." Dallas yelled knowing she wouldn't hear him.

Quickly Ally filled a bucket with chicken feed and walked to the henhouse that was next to the big brown barn and opened the door. Her brown curly hair blowing with the wind.

"Hello guys." she cheered placing down the bucket then gathered some pellets in her hand and sprinkled them on the floor smiling as the chickens gathered around to eat. After that she went into the barn grabbing a shovel that was laid against the wall and started mucking out the stalls in a fast pace so that she wouldn't miss the bus. Even though she didn't feel like going to school at all. What person would want to go to school? Especially when the only thing you do is get bullied all the time... Yeah that's right bullied life hasn't been easy for Ally she's not what you would call the richest girl in town. After her parents past away a year ago from a car crash money has been really tight for her family. So she doesn't really have any fancy clothes like all the other girls and kids at school, which is why she gets bullied. It's mostly by Kira Star and her stuck up minions that tend to harass Ally. Normally she would brush it off and ignore her but lately its been really hard to do that.

That's because, the things that Kira has been saying to her are stuff about her parents that she really didn't want to hear, things that no kid would want to hear after their parents died. For example she would say Ally's mom should have taught her how to dress and act like a girl before dying. A horn blew loudly from the distance drawing Ally out of her thoughts she picked up her backpack and ran down the long steep road. She sighed in relief when she found an empty seat in the back of the bus and sat down laying her head against the window, her long brown curly hair sticking to her face.
