"Ugh, where the hell is Kris?" Massie complained, checking the time for the millionth time. She had made a square from her lawn chairs and sat everyone down. Claire was on her way back O-Town, meaning she would miss the ultra-important meeting.
"I don't know, but ever since her dad got rich, she's been a little stuck up, don't you think?" Alicia asked, finger-combing her glossy, black hair.
"Well, wouldn't you? After being ultra-poor, then suddenly rich? It's probably a big change for her." Dylan stated.
"Dyl, can I ask where is my burping, food-loving, bubbly, Dylan is?" Massie giggled.
"Oh, don't you worry, she'll be here soon... well, as soon as Inez brings the food." Dylan laughed, showing her laser-whitened teeth.
"Hey, sorry, I'm late. My parents were redecorating." Kristen said, running in out of breath.
Remember how Kristen's dad used to be a really good art dealer, and then lost his job, well, now he got it back, and has been hitting the jackpot lately. Instead of living in apartment next to Brickview Manor, they own Brickview. Which has definitely moved Ms.Gregory up in the social scene.
"Yeah, yeah. My mom has redecorated the living, eight times in the past two weeks. I think I know how it feels." Massie sighed, still a little annoyed Kris was late. But she had to brush it off. If she got into a war with her friends, a day before the first day of ninth grade, there would be hell. And lot's of it.
"'Kay, Mass, why'd you call us here, in the first place?" Alicia wondered.
"Well, as we all know, tomorrow is the first day of ninth grade, and as my sources have told me," Massie stated, eyeing the giggling, Alicia. "There is a new girl, from London, and two new boys, from some ranch." Massie eyed each girl.
"What does that mean?" Dylan asked, utterly confused.
"Dyl, we're going to have to look hawt." Massie spat. It was another Dylan moment, and Massie was getting tired of them.
"Does this mean shopping!?" Alicia shrieked, clearly excited.
"Hell, yeah!" Massie shouted.
All the girls grabbed their designer bags, slipped on their shoes, liked arms, and sauntered over to the front drive.
Little did they know that this was the last time they'd all have fun together.
