A Town Called Valentine

Oh, so it's the suburbs you want to start in? That makes sense. Lots of families, and it's all a good neighborhood.

This is a pretty wide district of Valentine! Plenty of potential to be found here...

***

The Poplars are your typical upper-middle class family. White collar dad, stay at home Mom, and three beautiful girls.

They were perfect! That is, until Reese was kicked off of the Valentine High Cheerleading Squad. It was a stupid mistake! And everyone wants to act like her older sister Bailey hasn't done so much worse. Ever since then her dad, Richard, has been distant, and her mom, Caroline, has been treating her like she's made of glass. This was supposed to be her Senior year! How was she going to even exist without cheerleading?

Whether she finds comfort in a new hobby, in getting revenge on her bitchy ex-captain Regina, or even in food, make no mistake that Reese has a big future ahead of her... with or without cheerleading!

Something about the Jacobsons was just reassuring. A little slice of Americana, right here in Valentine.

They had just moved in, and were already making quite the impression! Charles, the father, was a teacher at Valentine High School. He'd stepped down from his position teaching at Stuffington University so that he might have more time to spend with his family. Rebecca, his wife, worked at the book store part-time to bring home a little extra money on the side to provide for their family. The daughter, Alexis, just enrolled in Valentine Community College, and their son Mark just made the honor roll.

They seem to be settling in well enough. Perhaps a little too well. They're all starting to get a little plump...
