Only in my Town

Welcome to Harper Valley, California. Sunshine, beaches, camping, thrift stores, and drama? Every vacation lover has seen Harper Valley before, but only the locals know what's really happening in Harper. There are small town secrets that would make some heads turn.

Growing up, I didn't ever realize the things that were really happening around Harper Valley. It was like this massive flurry of drama and excitement masked by small town gossip and the desperate pleas for help that go unanswered to this day. I was blind though. I only saw what was inside my own little cocoon. It wasn't until Freshman year that I figured out what was really happening. Where to begin with a story like Harper Valley's? That one's hard to say. I think I should do it in order of how I saw it though. That's the only way to make any sense of it all.

I don't know if you've ever met my twin brother, Alex Davies. He's not really like other guys. See, he loves to play basketball and everything, but he's got all of this randomly hidden depth. He's the kind of guy that gets life, that's the only way to put it. Anyway, a load of his drama became mine in a sense. It was him and the entire group of friends he fell into. I guess this is where I explain the fab five to you. Trust me, they didn't come up with their clique name, it was given to them randomly.

It started with Jackie Tennison. See, when our parents left, Alex and I needed a home to go into for foster care. The Tennison home was just the place we were sent. Jackie and Alex had already been friends before. The Tennisons lived in a more run-down neighborhood, but that didn't stop Alex and I from being happy there. Tally and Kaylee are the Tennison twins and we got on alright with them. Jackie was the real gem though.

Those are only two of the five though. Jackie and Alex soon grew. See, Jackie had befriended two other girls, two girls who were nearly inseparable. Charlie Haleck and Kallie Burke were closer than anyone could ever possibly imagine. How did Jackie come across these two? Well, Charlie became friends with her first, and then Kallie caught right on. The last of the fab? Wyatt Rays. He didn't quite hit the scene until he started dating Charlie. Their relationship was shaky and Wyatt had a thing on the side with Kallie which was held under wraps. Stories have interesting outcomes though.

The only reason that I knew of the connection between Alex and Charlie was because Jackie told me. See, it was like, everyone knew that the chemicals were just dying to react there. Oddly, those chemicals kept meeting interferences. One such interference? Kallie was shoved between them. See, Kal liked Alex 'first' and truly had strong feelings for him. Alex felt slightly pulled away from Charlie so, he went out with Kallie. Then came the mix up with Wyatt and Jackie. They're not dating yet, but those sparks want to fly for sure. Just recently, Kallie split-up with Alex and he's on the verge of going back to Charlie. Will she take him now though? Can such a strong bond be held together after the wait?

It's not just the fab that draw interest. Nope, see, there are a few other players to be heard of as well. Me for instance, Savannah Davies. I played a big role in the past few years of Harper Valley High. I mostly watched the sidelines of Alex's life, but I had some major drama myself. Here, let me put it this way. Let's go back to where my world began crashing on down.

It was sophomore year and I could have sworn that I was in love with Matthew Fayde. Matt was a sweetie. He and our friend Holly Wood used to hang out every single day. Holly was always my best friend but Matt was always the third wheel though. Matt and I finally ended up dating for about four months near the end of school year. I broke it off with him because of Alec Hart. Hart was just, right for me. Matt never forgave me. He had a hard childhood and he soon took to Holly like God only knows how fast.

What we didn't see was how bad Matt was getting. He was quickly becoming obsessive about her. See, his hard life was starting to really get to him. Matt was also becoming more and more aggressive. He'd never hurt Holly though, no, he took his anger out on me. That's right, the secret relationship between Matt and I that Holly never knew of was the oen which was most dangerous. I didn't even want to be near Matt anymore. He aimed all of his anger, frustration, agression, towards me. Why? I was his biggest victim because I dumped him because I liked Alec Hart.

Where did it lead? Well, the agression only became worse and no one knew about it at all. What was I supposed to say? My best friend beats me? My best friend rapes me? I didn't know what to say or do or feel. All I knew was that it was all so wrong. The only person I would ever trust enough to tell would be Holly and I'd never hurt her like that. The truth is what hurts the most sometimes. What happened then?

Well, someone found out what was going on. My brother's almost lover was my savior. See, Charlie Haleck is the one who interevened. Why on earth would Charlie find out? Well, Charlie came out into the parking lot of Harper Valley High one night and found me, you know, hurt. I was in my car, Matt had actually physically attacked me one night after a journalism class ran over. When Charlie found me, she was ready to jump right to quick conclusions. She was about to ask if I'd had a rondesvous with Alec Hart yet when she realized I was bleeding. She rushed me to the hospital and that's where I got help.

I never told anyone other than Charlie about what Matt had done. She's said almost a thousand times over that she'd turn Matt in, get a restraining order, but how could I do that? I still wouldn't ever hurt Holly that way. She thinks Matt is the love of her life. Worse yet, Matt's only falling down more and more. I think there's something dangerous on the rise, what will Matt do next?

Now, I can't just focus on my crowd. There are loads of crowds outside of mine or just the fab five. There are the Fellows brothers who are seen as the campus 'purity' squad. There are the 'trio' who consist of Maddox, Samantha, and Tristan. They've known eachother since the beginning of schooling and Trist's little sister Rusty has always had a thing for Maddox Burke. There's also the odd friendship of Queen Bee Angelica Patrice and Adriana Dennison. Not only that, but the strange happenings of Hannah Patrice, Angelica's younger sister. Does Hannah Patrice really have cancer? Is she going to live?

As you can see, it was no lie when I said that Harper Valley was chock full of drama. There's more than any place in the world ever needed right here. So, will you join their numbers? Will you become one of the many in this flurry of small town chaos? Are you a Hannah Patrice, worrying about each day leading death to your doorstep? Or maybe you're an Angelica Patrice, living life in Queen Bee heaven and worrying about a little sister dying. Or how about an Alex, torn between Kallie and Charlie and then constantly feeling over-protective over his twin sister because of an unexpected trip to the hospital? Maybe you're a Charlie, always looking out for others unexpectedly, playing the hero without even knowing it. A Kallie, out there being the best friend she can with the sweetest heart and most determined mind. Perhaps a Jackie who's got the brainpower of the most high-tech computer and the mothering instincts of wolf guarding her pups. Perhaps even a Wyatt, choosing between partying and giving it all up for one of the most important people he cares about. Or, maybe, just maybe, you're me. Maybe you're just trying to get by, to survive, in Harper Valley. At the end of the day, that's all that any of us are, survivors.

this is life.
only in my town.
welcome to harper valley.
