Dear Diary,
Today at lunch Anastasia and I were hanging out in the cafeteria. Steve and Anastasia are officially boyfriend and girlfriend now, so we all ate out at the Rosebud: Steve, Anastasia, Jay and I. And guess whom we saw at the cafeteria? Mary Anne, Claudia, and their new BFF Grace. God, it's been so long. I remember when we used to be such good friends. But when high school started, and I saw Anastasia, so popular and beautiful, I thought about refreshing myself. When I saw the boys all drooling after her, especially Jay, that made up my mind. I signed up for cheerleading, got a whole new wardrobe, and got increasingly sick of Mary Anne. She was so whiney and obnoxious. So I got so mad one day when she was crying when I called her because her cat died. I called her an immature, useless crybaby. And I don't regret it at all. Now Anastasia and I are the most popular girls in the whole school, with our friends Isadora, Lila, and Belle. Don't they have the best names? "Stacey" and I felt sort of left out, so two months into the school year we started to try to get people to try different names. She's now Anastasia and I'm Kristen to everybody but those few that like to annoy us, cough cough Mary Anne, Claudia and Grace.
When we saw them today, they really wanted to annoy us. It started out the other way, when we overheard Mary Anne and Claudia talking about how Claudia was going to get a new car if she kept her grades up. Without even having to look at each other we knew that this would be the perfect opportunity to have a little, uhh, entertainment.
"Really Claudia, your getting a new car?" Anastasia asked mockingly. "Well, with your grades, I expect that you'll be driving around in a four times used, beat up 1940 Toyota that gets 11 miles per gallon." I giggled, and they looked at me.
"Nothing like my baby. A silver 2009 advance Nissan Convertible with real leather interior, 40 gigabyte hard drive that allows to pause and replay the radio, voice commands with Synch, by Microsoft, all while getting an affordable—not that I need to worry about affording anything—40 miles per gallon." I just love mocking them about my millionaire stepfather. "The car is silver and has a light tan leather interior, and the seats are heated and air conditioned. And of course there's the latest hook-up so it can play out loud my new pink iPhone. Plus--" someone tapped on my shoulder I smiled before I turned, hoping it was Jay. But nope, it was Grace Blume. And a pie!! I turned around and she shoved a pie into my face!
"What are you doing?" I heard Anastasia yell. Grace released her hold on the pie and I grabbed some napkins off Mary Anne's tray. Then Grace shoved SALAD in Anastasia's face!! We ran to the bathroom as soon as we possibly could, the hoods of our Alice + Olivia sweaters pulled up. We washed our faces with hot water and I managed to get most of the pie off my face, and she, the salad dressing. Irritated, we decided to skip the rest of our classes for the day. Belle was an avid studier; we could get homework assignments from her for the classes we shared, and for other classes, faceless nerds who would just about die if they received a phone call from us. We went out to the new Stoneybrook Mall. We were pretty broke so we just decided to window shop. "You know what we should do?" I said suddenly.
"What?" Anastasia asked absentmindedly, looking at a new pair of Ugg boots that were on sale.
"Let's get my ears pierced," I said, looking at the Piercing Pagoda. "My parents won't mind."
"Okay. Do you have any money?"
Just then I remembered that I had my credit cards in the car. We ran out to get them and then came back to the piercing place.
"Name?" The woman said, not looking up from the papers she was sorting.
"Kristen Thomas."
"Age?"
"I'm seventeen."
"I'll need you to fill out this form here," she said, handing me a paper, still not looking up. I filled out all the necessary information and handed it back to her. I now have my ears pieced with real diamond earring studs!! Watson doesn't care and mom is happy for me. She's so much more laid back now. I'm glad, it gives me more freedom. I just remember when we used to all go shopping together as the BSC. "Malling," Claudia used to call it. We felt so grown up, strutting around the mall all by ourselves. Now, Anastasia and I parade around the mall everyday, and when we see any of our old friends other Mallory we just ignore them. Mallory's pretty popular with the freshmen, so sometimes we stop to chat for a couple minutes
So I've got to go now. Jay's coming in an hour!! I've got to get ready fast. Then we're meeting Anastasia and Steve in Chez Maurice.
Kristin
