Chapter 1

"Girls, wake up," said Mrs. Garibaldi. "C'mon, we have to get ready to go shopping."

As soon as Aqua heard her say that, she ran out of bed and was ready in ten minutes.

When she was done, she ran back to Galleria's room, jumped on the bed, and woke them up by screaming, "WAKE UP YOU GUYS! WE'RE GOING SHOPPING!"

"Aqua, go away, we're tired," groaned Dorinda.

"But you guys, Mrs. Garibaldi said we're going shopping, and today is the big sale at the mall," said Aqua. "They only have it once a year; it's only for a few hours." Then Chanel woke up.

"Let's go ya'll," she said when she jetted out of bed.

Aqua stayed in the bedroom and tried to get Dorina and Galleria out of bed, but she couldn't. Then Mrs. Garibaldi was getting tired of waiting for them.

"Girls, don't make me come up there!"

Then the two of them got right out of bed and ran to the bathroom to get ready. By the time all the girls were ready to eat breakfast, Aqua was finished and ready to go out the door.

Chanel sighed and looked up from her bowl of cereal.

"What's wrong?" asked Dorinda.

"I can't believe that there's only two more weeks of summer," she replied. "It went by so fast when we were in Spain."

Aqua was excited about going back to school. She couldn't stop thinking about all the things that would happen to her in her senior year at Manhattan Magnet. She already had an idea for what the design of her dress was going to look like.

Dorinda wasn't as excited as Aqua was. She didn't like being in classes all day for seven hours. She didn't want to wake up at 6 then get home at 3, do homework, and then wake up the next day and do it all over again. The one thing she was looking forward to was graduating and going to Julliard for college. She had wanted to go there ever since she was a little girl.

The only thing Galleria was looking forward to this year was singing with the Cheetah Girls. She promised them that she wouldn't try to control everything again.

Chanel was just happy that she was going to be with her girls, and that her mom was happy with Luc.

"Let's go, Let's go, Hurry up!" yelled Aqua.

"We're coming!" screamed Galleria.

They all finished their breakfast and rushed out the door.
