Massie was stomping around her bedroom, with Claire sitting on her rug, listening and eating.

"I mean these sluts come out of nowhere, and they've got OCD in their hands? This doesn't just happen." Massie said.

"Yeah, but-" Claire started.

"I mean, what did they do to get kicked out of their school in the city? I mean it's probably something really stupid, and once we find out we'll all be like, that was it?"

"No, I think-"

"And then that Bobbi girl, is on the baseball team!"

Claire looked confused. "So?"

Massie stopped pacing. "Kuh-laire, Cam, Derrington and Josh play baseball."

"And…"

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Massie hollered. "WITH BOBBI ON THE TEAM THEIR ALL GOING TO LEAVE US!"

"No they won't," Claire said. "Bobbi isn't that pretty, and she is basically a be-otch."

"Oh, shut up." Massie snapped and sat down on her computer.

Massie did what she usually did when she was angry.

Shop until you run out of credit cards, or you get kicked out of the mall. Which ever comes first.

"Hey, Mass," Alicia said, stopping at the counter at Saks Fifth Avenue. There was a sign that said, Saks Fashion Show.

"Hey," Massie said the cashier. "What's this about?"

The cashier glanced at the sign. "Oh, if you want to be in it, you need to pick out an outfit soon, because the show is in a few weeks."

Alicia five fived Massie. They both needed to find an 'extra-curricular'. Modeling was one, right?

They had both chosen their outfits. Alicia went for a purple dress that went down to her knee's and puffed out. Massie's new favorite color was still red, so she chose a red halter-top dress that went down to her ankles.

The cashier crossed the dresses off a list, and told the girls, "Theirs practice every week for a month, then the fashion show will be May 5th."

"Are they at the Sweet Factory?" Massie asked Alicia.

"I'll bet." Alicia answered. "Kristen and Claire are eating their emotions, and Dylan is eating bread."

"I still don't get the carbs thing." Massie told her.

"Apparently, they're easier to burn off that calories."

Massie sighed. "Why doesn't she just get the fat sucked out of her stomach and into her boobs or something?"

"I have no idea."

Claire walked into the drama room after school on Monday. Secretly, she needed to audition for the school play, and once she got a leading role, she'd tell all of the other girls. Just so they wouldn't make fun of her.

"OK! I am Miss Lauren, and I am the new drama teacher, blah, blah, blah."

'Wow Alicia is going to kill me,' Claire thought. Lauren was pronounced with the emphasis on ren just like in Ralph Lauren.

"Obviously, you don't want to here me babble, you're here because you want the lead in my show." Miss Lauren said. Suddenly the door creaked everybody's head jerked around. "Sasha, so nice of you to join us."

"Sorry." Sasha said, as she smiled sheepishly.

"The show we are doing is Little Woman." Miss Lauren went on. "Vocal auditions are today. Reading auditions are tomorrow. You gotta go to both to get the parts. Callbacks for both are going to be next Monday. I want your résumé's on the reading auditions TOMARROW! The cast list will be posted on Friday, and if I hear anything but pleasant things about your part, you are kicked out. You will sing about 16 bars, but sing until I cut you off. Acapulco, and if I see a music book, its mine."

Autumn Carlisle raised her hand. "Miss Lauren, who is going to play the guy parts?"

"I have Briarwood boys who are going to do it." Miss Lauren said. "Shall we?"

She sat down, and looked at the list that everybody signed as they walked in. "Let's start with Sasha."

Sasha smiled, and walked up to the stage not looking nervous at all. "Hey everybody, I'm Sasha, and I am new to OCD. Anyways, I'll be signing The Music And The Mirror from A Chorus Line."

Claire sunk down in her chair as she listened to Sasha sing. She didn't know much about Little Woman, but she knew that there were four sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. Claire wanted Jo, because she was the lead. Now she wasn't too sure if she was even going to get a part.

Some girls were very good singers, and other people were straight out of the audition scene from High School Musical.

"Claire Lyons?" Miss Lauren asked.

Claire stumbled up the stairs to the stage, and before she could stop herself, she said, "I'm Claire Lyons, am a seventh grader, and I'm singing Holding Out For A Hero from Footloose."

She sang her song, and went back to her seat, she face pink.

"Thank you very much everybody," Miss Lauren said. "This time tomorrow! Tootles!"
