This pitch is originally by Matt, but he had a lot of things on his plate. By the way, I'm copying and pasting a bit. :P

GENIE

Belle Ridley is a loner teenage girl who has a funny personality inside of her but is always too shy to show it. Jenny Kate is a popular, social, and ruthless girl who runs the school gossip blog. Jenny constantly targets Belle with her friends and they enjoy tormenting her. But one day, Belle's world is turned upside down when she rubs a golden genie lamp and a genie surprisingly pops out! To her surprise, the genie happens to be Jenny Kate! Jenny is revealed to actually be a magical genie who has been free for over ten years, up until that moment. And when Belle accidentally wishes she can have infinite wishes, Jenny becomes permanent since she cannot undo wishes. Now, to both of the girls' distain, they are stuck together. Throughout the series, the two search for ways to free Jenny. But as time goes on, Belle and Jenny become very close friends. Whether they are bickering, trying to get out of a sticky situation, or laughing together, the two always seem to have a good time with one another. And Belle soon even learns Jenny's wish she's always longed for but was always illegal for genies to grant: to become human.


 * Belle Ridley – Belle is a comedic teenage girl who enjoys spending time with her family and her few friends. She doesn’t talk much in school but is very funny around people she is close to. At school, she is targeted by Jenny and her friends and often made fun of. Her world is turned upside down when she finds a genie who happens to be Jenny. Accidentally, Belle wishes to have infinite wishes and this makes Jenny her permanent genie since you can’t undo a wish. Will Belle and Jenny learn to love each other or will they end up ripping each other apart?
 * Jenny Kate – Jenny is a young looking genie who has been free for 10 years after her last master used up his 3 wishes. She has spent her time in a high school as the popular “it” girl who runs the school gossip blog. Jenny lives in her genie lamp and has it hidden in a place where no one can find it. But one night, a storm blows it to the Ridley house backyard where Belle finds it and rubs it. Suddenly, Jenny becomes the new genie of Belle (whenever someone rubs the lamp, the genie becomes theirs). (Jenny wouldn't be the stereotypical genie. She dresses normally and looks normal. The only thing is that she has magical powers and can go into the lamp.)
 * Anthony Ridley – Anthony is Belle’s little brother who has a crush on Jenny and is the only one who knows, other than Belle, that she is a genie. Anthony is very close to Belle and even though they often fight, they enjoy each other’s company.
 * Maya Ridley – Belle’s older sister who is extremely smart, very mature, and thinks of Anthony and Belle as “children.” She prefers to spend her time doing smart things like writing another book or building a robot.
 * Keena and Ryan Ridley – Belle’s parents who are both very quirky (kind of like the Russo parents from Wizards).

I liked his first version the best, so I'm hoping we could flow with that one? And weren't you going to change Belle Ridley to Belle Sams? Do you still want to change it? (Sorry, when I was looking at the thread I got confused, so I might ask questions that were already answered.) Once again, I am not copying his idea, I just adopted it. :)
