Sky's the Limit

by Mitzi Dale

More than anything, Kim wants to leave her steelworking town behind and break into show business. Her dream is to be a comedian, and she spends hours in front of a full-length mirror perfecting her routines. Her impersonations of Amy the Baton-Twirling Typical Teen, Shy Shirley, and the Adolescent Male leave the audience rolling in the aisles. Kim has visions of getting an agent, taking acting lessons, starting out in commercials, and moving up to low-budget movies that win all the prizes in Cannes. When she strolls in Europe, heads will turn . . . .But first, there are four years of high school to get through -- four years that will be sheer hell unless she can avoid being labeled a loser. So while her friends decide that the only way to be cool is to snare a boyfriend -- any boyfriend -- Kim decides on another, less orthodox strategy. She plots to befriend the most popular girl in school.Skye Manning is beautiful, accomplished, rich, and talented. It seems she has absolutely everything a girl could want, except maybe a real friend.
