Chapter 1
The Message
...
An instant message popped up on Tori's laptop. "New York!", it read. She forwarded the message to Andre, Cat, and Beck. "New York!", the three Hollywood Arts read aloud. Beck sent the message to his girlfriend, Jade. Not wanting to leave out freaky, unpopular Sinjin, Cat sent the message to him, too.
The next morning at school, the announcement was made. Over the PA system, the principal's voice appeared.
"Attention Class of 2011, you advisers have made a decision. For your senior trip, you are going to New York. The trip is scheduled for Thursday." Principal Ikner paused to clear his throat. "This will be an eight day trip, so pack wisely. That will be all. You are now dismissed.
"Yes!", Andre exclaimed. "New York is the best! My uncle lives there, and he once said that he saw a real baseball player just walking down the street! This trip is gonna be the best!" That night everyone informed their parents.
"Mom, our school is taking a trip to New York for our class trip. Can I go?", Jade shyly asked her mom.
"I don't care! You waste my time! Go!", her alcoholic mother screeched. Jade was sadly used to this behavior. Her father left them last year, and thing aren't the same. Jade hides her sorrow behind a tough-girl act.
"Hey Dad, we're going to New York for eight days in two days, kay?" Beck said to his father.
"No, in fact it is not okay. Who are you going with?"
"The school. For my senior trip."
"Oh, then yes, you can go. And thanks for asking instead of just assuming.", his father replied sarcastically.
"New York. On Thursday. Eight days.", Tori explained to her mother and father during dinner that night.
"Why on earth would your school let you know about this two days before you leave?", Tori's delicate mother asked
"I don't know. But please, can I please go?"
Her parent exchanged a glance to each other. "Okay.", father said reassuring.
Sinjin looked at his dad and step mom. "Can I go to New York for eight"-"Yes.", they said. Sinjin's face grew a mischievous smile. "Good", he said.
"Please let me go!", Cat begged. She was living with her strict father in a large penthouse.
"Why should I? So you can get yourself knocked-up by some New Yorker? After I walked into your bedroom to find you and some guy under the sheets last month, I have an extreme right to say hell no!" he yelled angrily. "That's insane!" But then Cat instantly remembered it was her mother's weekend, so it was her decision.
"Our grade is going to New York on Thursday for eight days. I plan on going.", Andre said, raiding the refrigerator for some juice.
"Okay, sweetie. You have fun!", his carefree mother replied.
