A Girl Named Blu Charity Hodge

I hate my new school, and I desperately want to go back to my old school to finish up my senior year with the familiar faces and friends that I know. My dad just got a new job in a new city with a promotion and a big fat raise. Now I have to live in a new city with no friends. Being the only black girl in a sea of pale faces makes me feel alone. My parents say to keep my head up and to do my best because the new school year will fly by before too long. Yeah, right! My parents don't understand how alone I feel. That is, until him. Jasper Hartley, the new guy who befriends me and make me want so much more. Sure, he's gorgeous, but he doesn't act like a rich snob like some of the other kids at school. Jasper is kind, generous and built like a Greek god. He becomes my first and only everything. I'm so happy that is until Brooke. She's a rich mean, snobby girl and her friends are just as rotten as she is. Brooke is determined to dig her talons into Jasper and snag him for herself. Rumors and lies swirl around me catching me up in an emotional rollercoaster. Heartbreak is imminent. I'm not happy anymore. My heart breaks. Along come, Kade Watson. Jasper's rival. Kade is pushy, funny, and sweet. He's determined to make me smile again and take me for himself. But... I still care for Jasper. The truth is, I love him. So, what's a girl to do? I'm just a simple girl with small town values with a big heart. That's me. Just Blu.
