Winter Break with the Pretty Committee

Chapter 1

"Puh-lease, I ordered a NON-FAT latte. And NO WHIPPED CREAM. Do you have any idea how this can affect my health?"

"Umm…no ma'am, but we can certainly get you a new latte, free of charge."

"Perfect."

Massie stomped back to her chair in her brand new chocolate Juicy boots, fluffing her curled brown hair and patting her cashmere scarf around her neck. The rest of the Pretty Committee sat together in the Starbucks café, chatting and checking their rhinestone-covered cell phones for any texts. Dylan happily sucked the straw of her warm mocha frappuchino.

"What's up with the crazy argument, Massie? I swear every single customer in here looked at you the second the word NON-FAT came out of your mouth." She giggled.

Massie furrowed her perfectly-waxed eyebrows as a warning. "Well I guess you could use a little bit of non-fat too, Dylan." She snapped.

Kristen, who sat across Massie, suddenly shrieked and flipped her pink Motorola open, texting frantically.

"Ehmagawd, what is it?" Massie leaned against the round black table, attempting to peek at her text.

"It's my English report! I totally forgot I had my group project today at Kori's house!"

"Kori?" Massie gave a horrified expression. "One. Kori is an LBR. Two. I can't believe you paired up with her! Three. You have six more days to do it, Kristen. Don't you even think twice about ditching us for that brat, Kori!"

"Our teacher paired us up! I swear I didn't pick her! And this project is going to have a huge impact on my grade if I don't get an A!"

"Like I said, relax." Massie snatched the phone out of Kristen's hand.

"One non-fat latte! No whipped cream!" The employee called from the counter.

"Fetch it for me, Kuh-laire."

Without hesitation, Claire got up from her seat and went to get Massie's drink.

Kristen whimpered.

Alicia whipped up a silver make-up bag from her white Louis Vuitton purse, and lifted out her Lancôme juicy cherry tube gloss. She carefully applied it on her smooth lips using a compact mirror.

"The one thing I hate about using straws," she said through her concentrated look, "Is that they ruin your lip gloss. Or lipstick. Whatev. Anyways, Massie has a point, Kristen. Chill and enjoy your break. As if you ever had one." She put away her gloss, crossed her legs, and began re-sipping her latte.

"Here, Massie!" Claire came back with a brownie in a clear plastic package, and Massie's drink in the other.

Dylan eyed the brownie with envy.

Massie smiled, sticking a straw into her cup.

"As I was saying, friends come first. And who are your friends, Kristen?"

"THE PRETTY COMMITTEE!" All the girls cheered, and laughed. Their warm drinks touched together at the center of the table, and Kristen joined in with a smile.

And there goes a happy start to the gleeful girls' winter break. It's too bad some trouble is walking towards their way.
