School is out today, and we’re going to make this summer count. We want the summer before eight grade to be an adventure. We want to find ourselves, find each other, and become closer and better friends – better people. This summer, this is going to be one we’ll remember. And we want to document that. That’s why we started this bog.

We? Who are we? We’re four girls – friends – who live together, in the house of Samantha. Lilyana is her cousin, Melanthe and Rebecca are two girls who board at her house. They board through a program called Travelling Stars, which lets girls board with families around the Boston area in order to attend the prestigious Sutton School For The arts. Samantha is a singer, an actress who dreams of Broadway, originally from NYC. Lilyana, her cousin, grew up in Montana, and moved here three years ago when her parents divorced, in order to study at Sutton. She also was born with a deformed arm and back problems, which makes it very hard for her to get around and function properly, and moving to Boston made it easier to get good medical care, and was why she had a very successful operation two years ago. She’d also been riding – first through a handicapped program, then at a exclusive stables- for years, and moving to Boston also enabled her to take more advanced riding lessons at better stables. Melanthe, a flutist and actress, is from Canada, and joined the duo a year ago. A redhead with a bouncy personality, Melanthe Rose – or Mellie Rose – is a flirty fashion–lover who takes her personal philosophy from RENT – No Day But Today. Then there’s Rebecca, a curly haired dancer from NYC, a dark, moody girl who plays the guitar and dreams of being a ballerina. This is our blog, our place to talk about who we are and whats happening. We’re the sparks.
