Cinderella Sidelined
I’m the girl you hated in high school. You know, the one with the hot boyfriend, the college scholarship, the flawless skin, the perfect life. I go to the best parties. I hang out with the coolest people. <br /><br />And I don’t worry about a thing. I’m a star volleyball player, a two-time state champion. Life is good.<br /><br />Until I lose it all.<br /><br />A freak injury, and now I’m left fighting to hold on to everything I once knew.<br /><br />The only escape? <br /><br />Pretending to be someone else for a few hours everyday in the school play. Now I’m spending time with the people I once laughed at, and with each passing day, I’m growing more and more distant from the life I used to love.<br /><br />Russ Vincent is the play’s gorgeous male lead, a writer/singer/actor/whatever. He knows about Emma Thompson — everyone in school does — but when he meets her outside the auditorium, he realizes she’s someone who knows what she wants, but can’t seem to figure out what she needs. <br />Can Russ figure out how to show Emma where she needs to go to find a life worth living? Or will Emma run back to the safety of a life she’s always known?
