Mind Over Matter

My fairy tale adaptation is called "mind over matter" and it deals with themes of love, good conquering over evil and the confusion/isolation teenagers face (or think they face) within society. I based my idea on the tale "the bronze ring" and the battle between the gardeners' son and the prime ministers' son for the princess's hand in marriage. It made me think about the lengths males are willing to go through in order to get the girl they want so i took this simplistic idea and threw it into a school environment in this day and age. So, my protagonist is a girl aged 15 named Becky and she lives with her Father as her Mother is unfortunately deceased. She often feels lonely without a Mother to talk to about life problems she faces. Becky is down to Earth and gets along with everyone she meets and this includes her being loved by all at her school. She has a lot of responsibilities from being head cheerleader to managing the Chess club, she is constantly faced with physical and mental challenges any teenager would breakdown at but she copes. My other two main characters are males of the same age as Becky; one named Eugene and the other named Max. Eugene is the kind hearted mathematics nerd who falls for Becky the second he sees her in the hallway. However, Max is the bad boy everyone loves to hate, including Becky. Although being faced in a sticky situation that brings all three characters together they soon learn to love one another, and Becky will face her biggest matter yet.
