City Girl Meets Country Boy.

After that incident in the kitchen, Charlotte hastily went back to the dining room, and sat down. Ryan took his place next to her. A moment later, she felt his hand running up and down her thigh. She glanced over at him incrediously, but he wasn't even looking at her. She swatted his hand away, and tried to eat the rest of her lamb, but was feeling sick to her stomach.

When dinner was over, Joyce made Charlotte say good bye. Without a word, she hugged Ryan, just to please her mom. When she tried to pull away, he held her there and whispered, "I'll make sure I see you again, sweatheart."
Charlotte recoiled from him, and he grinned back at her. It wasn't a cute grin though. It was...creepy. Charlotte didn't want anything to do with Ryan. How would she tell her mother that?
"Hey, Char!?" John called to her, interupting her thoughts, "Tomorrow, you're gonna be up at 6. I'm going to show you how to work on a farm. You can get another job if you'd like, so you wouldn't have to spend your entire day on the farm...but for now, you are," he said.
Charlotte was too tired to argue, so she just nodded, and trudged up the stairs to her room.

The next morning, John had woken her up right at 6, just as he's promised. By 6:30, she decended down the long flight of stairs, wearing an old pair of jeans, with a big hole in the knee, and a huge sweatshirt.
"Here," John thrusted a pair of muckers at her, "You'll need these." She reluctantly took them, and pulled them over her tiny feet. They were hard to walk in.
They reached the barn, and walked inside. The smell hit her face instantly, and she gagged. "That baby, is a smell you're gonna just have to get used to, working here on a farm,"John said. "Now come here, and meet everyone." She looked up, and realized there were other people in the barn with them.
"This is George," John said pointing to an older man, who was wearing a cowboys hat over his bald head. "This is Martha, Georges wife," he pointed to a little old woman with pure white hair. "Ah, and this here is Ethan," he pointed to a young boy, Charlottes age. He was taller than her by atleast 5 inches. He had shaggy blonde hair, and was wearing leather, along with a cowboy hat.
I hope Ethan isn't like Ryan, Charlotte thought.
