A Cowgirl's Story Page #2

what's going on here.

What about you?

Take it.

On the road by Kerouac.

There's many books you can do.

Thank you.

All right? Just choose one.

Oh, hey, dusty Rhodes,

why don't you sit with us?

Thanks.

Guys, this is dusty Rhodes.

Meryl, Cinda, Dale,

and that's Trevor.

Hello again.

Hi.

Like your costume.

I like your costume.

It's not a costume.

It's my... it's my shirt.

Mine too.

Don't mind Dale.

His mom dropped him on his head

when he was a baby.

Multiple times.

It's not funny.

Okay.

Look, we're all pretty nice

once you get to know us.

Not that that's going to happen.

Wouldn't expect it to.

Why are you here?

Savanah just invited me

to sit here.

No. Like, why are you here

at Jefferson high?

My father was reassigned.

Well, a little advice?

Please.

If you want to fit in

around here,

you might want to lose

the whole... Cowgirl thing.

Oh. Well, thank you

for that advice, Meryl,

but, you see,

I actually like the way I am.

And I definitely don't want

to fit in if fitting in

means being a sniveling,

insecure sheep, so...

Baa! Would you like

some ice with that burn?

I like him.

I guess I'll take this to go.

Thank you.

Later, cowgirl.

Trevor.

Is she saying that I'm

a sniveling, insecure sheep?

No. No, really...

Yeah, I didn't get that.

At all.

Okay.

Okay.

Spill the secret.

Is there any city Wi-Fi?

No, no, no.

Around here, we still do it

the old-fashioned way.

Our communication?

Face-to-face.

Goody.

You still worried

about your mom?

I always am.

Honey, she's gonna be okay.

God is watching over Helen.

How can you be so sure?

That god is watching over her?

I believe it in my heart.

He is.

Is there any actual proof?

Well, sometimes, dusty,

the only thing

that can lift us up,

the only thing that can see us

through those difficult times,

is the simple act

of having faith.

See, faith comes from the heart,

not just from the mind.

It's not mathematical.

It's not rational.

You just feel it.

You know it.

And the most important thing

about faith

is it's all or nothing.

You can't do faith halfway.

Mmm, I knew you were gonna

say something like that.

Well, you asked.

Let's go.

Okay.

Thanks, Gramps.

Hey.

Hey, cowgirl.

What are you gonna sign up for?

Honestly?

I'm not too excited

about any of them.

Yeah, me neither.

Equestrian drill team?

Yes, ma'am.

What exactly is that?

It's a horse riding team.

We do drills, perform at rodeos,

football games, stuff like that.

Well, I don't exactly see

a groundswell of demand

for such a group.

Do you?

Before there was Starbucks,

we didn't know

that we needed it, right?

Mrs. Preston,

as you know,

I am having a very tough time
