Heather Colson has just arrived in Columbus, Ohio, for a rodeo event. She’s staying at a Best Western hotel. She’s lucky to get a room because there’s a high school state cheerleader championship in town and all the other rooms are booked.
Later in the evening, some cheerleaders blast their television next door. Heather walks over and asks them to turn it down. They then blast the television again and start pounding on the wall, so Heather calls the front desk. Then after Heather falls asleep, someone knocks on her door around midnight. When she opens it, a tall cheerleader tells her she ran into her truck. But when Heather goes outside, the girl pulls a knife on her. She orders Heather to take a walk across a snowy field and into the woods. They soon end up down a hill and alongside a culvert, where the two decide to fight.
The teen cheerleader proves to be a formidable opponent who’s hell-bent on paying the cowgirl back for getting her in trouble with her coach. And the culvert appears to be the perfect locale to exact her revenge.
This is the sixth novelette in the “Tough Girls” series and is every bit as action-packed as the others. The question is, who wins between the cheerleader and cowgirl? And what happens to the loser?
