The other night while Jeff' packed, Megan made a seating chart for her reception, and I ate cake batter ice cream, the three of us came up with an excellent idea for a book. We were so excited about it, we started to plan it right away and even think up some dialogue. We really think it'll be a hit.
Synopsis:
An ordinary high school girl, Rebecca, moves from Florida to somewhere up north that not many people live in like...North Dakota. She doesn't like the cold, yet she's moving there to live with her mother. Since she's the new girl in a very small school, everyone loves her. Guys flock to her, girls envy her. But even with all of the sudden attention, she's only attracted to one thing - a guy, mysterious, dark, dangerous. He stumbles around the campus with his family members, each more dangerous yet alluring than the next. He's "glistening" to her. In the end, they have a forbidden romance. His secret is what keeps them apart, yet their love overcomes it.
Sounds awesome, right? Right. Not familiar at all. Here's a scene:
"So Rebecca--" Stacey starts.
"Becca, please," Becca replies.
"Sorry, Becca. How're you liking it here?"
"Oh, you know, it's okay. The guys seem to like me, so that's cool, but i'd rather listen to my music. Have you heard of TV on the Radio? They're awesome." Becca pulls her iPod out to illustrate the point that she's very hip.
"Oh nice. What about the guys? Aren't they, like, way hot?"
"They're alright...but who's...who's he?" Becca asks, pointing to the dark, brooding brunette in the corner of their math class.
"Him? Ohhhhhh, he's Heathcliff. Isn't he hot? He is, but he's totally unavailable. Apparently no girl here is good enough for him." Stacey states, obviously still miffed about a previous rejection.
"Well, we'll see about that..." Becca gets up and starts towards Heathcliff.
"Wait, before you go," Stacey yells and grabs Becca's arm. "Are you smart?"
"What? Yeah, I guess. I mean, Organic Chem is pretty simple, but I'm no rocket scientist."
"Okay cool. Cause he only likes girls with brains."
Cut to a scene later on. While shopping, she seems him stomping away a street down. After having a romantic dinner she had an epiphany. She realized finally why he was different, attractive. The next day at school, she address the topic.
"I know what you are. You're slow moving, sweaty, incredibly hot (literally and attractively), and monosylabolic." She states, looking him deep in his black, seemingly dead eyes.
"BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNSSSSSS," Heathcliff replied.
"Zombie. You're a zombie." She says without hesitation or fear.
"BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNSSS?"
"No, it doesn't matter. I'll always love you."
"BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNNNNNSSSSS."
In the end, they stay togther. We're thinking of making a sequal where Becca's best friend turns out to be an ogre, but that's still debatable. For now, we think Heathcliff will sell.
What do you think?

Pretty much the most fantastic thing I've ever read. :D
I do think you need a scene though where Heathcliff has difficulty controlling his zombie nature and tries to OM NOM NOM Becca's brains ;)
i cracked up when i read this
The next important question.....who will play Becca in the movie?
Haha, this was awesome!
Is this like Twilight meets Wuthering Heights?
Twuthering Lights?
Genius! I'd definitely read that one.
I would but this book.
If you autographed it.
then I would sell it.
I'm about the bottom line.
Haha, as I was reading I was like, "i feel like i've heard this somewhere before, but where?!" and then I realized. You silly girl, you.
sounds like a great idea for a book, especially if you turn it into a movie and rob pattinson plays heathcliff :)
LOL You need to write this book. Like now.
You are funny. The perfect small backwards northern town for this story to take place would be Prescott Valley, AZ where I just moved. It's in the mountains. It's snows. And they have a cowboy poetry gathering every year.
I think you shouldn't be giving away ideas like that on the internet. You could be a billionaire off of that one. Girls will eat it up.
Oh no. Did you just ruin New Moon for me!? ;)
COlure - YES! There will be so much om nom noming!
ria - Yay! Thanks!
Lyla Lou - NOT Kristen Stewart. :)
jddavenport - Yes, it shall now be known as twuthering Lights.
tmamone - Sweet!
rs27 - Hahaha. Fair enough.
Classy - Yes, it's a bit...familiar...
Katelin - DONE AND DONE.
Kyla Bea - Ha! For you, i will!
Rasberryswrlgirl - Cowboy poetry you say? I'm intrigued!
Kim - Hahaha. If only.
Mermanda - GAH! No. Nope not at all. Um. I will say this, there are no ogres.
