Chapter 1:
Emmory's POV
She could see it all! Her school, worshiping the ground she walked on. She was the alpha and nothing could stop her. She had the style, the boys, the posse. It was glorious. Then she- was woken up by her iPhone playing One Direction. It sounded cliché but 1D was her jam.
Emmory sat up in her comfy bed and reluctantly stopped her alarm.
It was the first day of middle school and yes, she would admit it, Emmory Aguilar was nervous. Em knew she didn't need to be nervous; she had a killer outfit picked out, her chauffeur was scheduled to pick all of her friends up, and Friday was the annual first-week-of-school sleepover.
But she still was, so she took a deep breath and counted to ten. Renewed strength, Emmory hopped out of bed to get ready and turned her music back on to empower and energize herself.
Walking to her bathroom, she plugged in the curling iron and washed her face. When the curling iron beeped, Em picked it up and began to subtly curl her long, dark raven hair.
Afterwards, she walked to her walk-in closet and picked up the carefully laid-out dress she had picked. Luckily, her grandpa, a lawyer, had made sure that OCD returned to its no uniform policy, so Emmory could wear whatever she wanted. Carefully, she slipped on a dress and shoes, then accessorized.
Going back into the bathroom, she put on light makeup, then grabbed her bag and walked out of the room.
Em was first greeted by her husky puppy, Dolce, and her sweet blue eyes. "Hi, baby," Em cooed. Dolce barked and ran to the kitchen, where the rest of the Aguilar family was.
Entering the kitchen, she is hit with the scent of fuba cake, pao frances, papaya, and coffee. Usually on Mondays, her family had Brazilian breakfast and Spanish dinner, so her cultures were balanced out.
"Good morning, Emmory," Alicia called from the stove where she was cooking.
"Morning, Mom," said Em.
Emmory took her seat at the dining table across from her older sister, Leticia. The girl's father and mother soon came out of the kitchen, bringing breakfast with them.
After everyone ate, Emmory's father, Ian, told the sisters that he and Alicia had a surprise for them. Em watched as each of her parents took out a blue Tiffany's box and handed them to their daughters.
"Go ahead and open them," her dad said. Em and Leti opened the boxes and gasped.
Their parents had bought them the most ahmazing jewelry ever. Leti had gotten a super cute necklace, and Em had gotten diamond flower earrings, which she put on right there at the dining table.
"Ewmagosh! Mom, Dad, thank you!" she squealed.
The girls thanked their parents until, Ian checked his watch and said, "Time to go everyone." Alicia was going to a meeting for her new fragrance "Clique" and Ian was off to work at his architecture firm. Leti was getting taken to school by her friend and the Aguilar's chauffeur, Theo, was picking up the Prettier Committee.
Emmory grabbed her backpack and hoped in the big car and drove off to meet her friends and start her reign at Octavian Country Day School.
A/N: Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Pretty and Prettier. I just had some quick things to say. 1) A lot of the drama is going to gave to do with the Prettier Committee (PC2), but there is going to be some family drama. 2) If you guys ever want to know how I write and come up with clothing characters wear, and names, and stuff, I'd be happy to tell you. I use baby naming sites a lot for names. I go on clothing websites and look at clothing for inspiration. I also google a lot of things, like Brazilian breakfasts. Fuba cake, Pao frances, papaya, and coffee are pretty common foods that they eat for breakfast. And 3) I might have a new girl come into PC2. She's going to be the kid of someone from the Clique books, so if you have any suggestions for who her parents are, please let me know. I'll be having a contest soon and you can create a character. Thanks for R&R!
