Alicia sat at the computer table checking email and talking to Massie on the phone at the same time. She had one from Dylan and one from Kristen as she started reading each email she jumped when Massie said "Leesh… Helllloooo?" "Yeah Mass, I'm here, sorry" Alicia put Massie on speaker and tied her hair up into a messy bun. "As I was saying" Massie said with a slight tone in her voice. "For our back to school shopping trip on labor day you HAVE to get that new top in Lucky." "Given" Alicia said as though it should've been obvious. "Hold on Kris is on the other line I will put us on 3-way" Alicia sighed and set the phone down as Massie clicked over to get Kristen. Suddenly she heard muffled voices and realized that the girls were back. "Heyyyyyy" said a voice that had to be Kristen's. "So I was thinking do you want to go check out the new school?" "Sure" Massie said a little too energetically. "I'll call Dylan and tell her Isaac will be there in 10!" Massie said and hung up. Alicia was left standing there in her Aladdin like room alone and very nervous. The truth was last summer Massie took her to the Hampton's with her and when they came back Massie was the Alpha and Alicia was her Beta. They ruled the school together until around January when they met Kristen and Dylan they instantly became best friends, thus becoming the Pretty Committee. They were the most popular and the most beautiful girls in the school and Alicia DID NOT want this to change. Alicia knew she was the last stop on Isacc's route so she had at least half an hour. Going to there new private school would be big, really big. And Alicia didn't want her popularity to slip away faster then last years Uggs. Going to OCD would just be a reminder of that. As Alicia walked into her all coach inspired bathroom she turned the hot water shower on and jumped in. She couldn't help but admire her tan that she had got while she was in Spain for 3 weeks. "I am nawt nawt nawt going to turn into an LBR this year. Alicia told herself. She stepped out of the hot boiling shower and looked over at the clock she had to get ready quick! She walked into her room and put on a tan cami under a bright green spaghetti strap top with rhinestones. It wasn't like Alicia to go overly flashy like this but then again Massie had said that over the top was good. So that's what she went for. She also put on a pair of light wash Bermuda shorts, comed out her wet hair, and stuck it in a tight pony tail. She was about to aplly some of her new Dating a royal OPI nailpolish when she herd Monique her maids voice on the intercome. "Ms. Rivera your ride is here." She said. Alicia sighed, grabbed her emty Dolce and Gabana bag that she got when she went into the city a couple of weeks ago. She had just gotten back from Spain and needed to do some serious not- Europian shopping. Alicia grabbed her hair brush, wallet, and cell phone droped it in the bag then looked over and dropped a pack of Orbit whiting gum into her bag. The horn honked again as Alicia swithed off her light slipped into her favorite Jimmy Choo flip flops and closed the front to behind her. Here goes nothing she thought.
