R&R?

3:45 pm

"WTF, Cam. Go to that party and show him what he's missing!"

"Mace," Cammie said tiredly,"How many times do I have to clear this up? I broke up with him. Capisce?"

"Hey guys!" a pink-cheeked Liz clambered into the empty seat beside Cammie's."Guess what? I asked Jonas out for the prom!"

"Will you look at that. Our little Liz's growing up."Said Bex coyly, sipping her cherry smoothie (fat free, of course).

"Speaking of the prom,"Macey plucked a cherry from the bowl and put it in her mouth,"there's the pre-prom party at-"

"It's okay, Bex told me."Liz interrupted.

"Excellent, now we are all now on the same level. Now let's plan." Macey said. "Which do you prefer we do first, the party details or the how-we-get-Josh-to-regret-breaking-up-with-Cammie details?"

"I told you. I broke up with him. It wasn't vice versa, Mace. Now stop doing this 'cause it's making me insane."

"Still, it's fun to think about."

Cammie glowered at her."Clearly, you and I have a different definition of 'fun.'"

Macey grinned at her."Very clearly. So I was thinking Cam you wear something sexy-"

Cammie held out a hand to stop her."Mace, I'll figure this out myself, okay?"

Macey lookked hesitant to let this go."Okay, but I'll bring along some clothes just in case."

"So I guess we're left with the party details."Bex gave a dramatic sigh."How boring."

"We can take our limo," Macey said breezily."Hell knows the senator will be petrified if he ever finds it sparkling with graffitti."

'Senator' was what Macey liked to call her dad, who she hates and refuses to call 'dad'.

"Great, now that it's settled,"Liz said nervously,"I calculated the chances of Cammie being nominated Prom Queen, and the odds are precisely five out of ten."

"How's that supposed to make me feel, Liz?"Cammie said.

"Just so you know."Liz shrugged and stood up."By the way, I got to study. Walk me to the parking lot?"

Bex grinned devilishly."Afraid to see Jonas again, hmm?"

"Shy, Bex. Not afraid."Loz said, then shrugged."If there is anyone we should be afraid of, it would probably the TICKs."

They laughed. This was true, even if they were only afraid of getting the contagious TICK disease.

TICK stands for Tina (the head bitch), Ilana , Courtney, and Karina otherwise known as the TICKs.

They were the second-popular clique of Gallagher Academy, and were mortal, enemies, even though they'd been inseparable when they were in kindergarten.

But that was a long time ago.

"C'mon, let's run. I need my beauty sleep."Macey stood up and faked a yawn.

"Daydreaming about Grant is the next thing on my schedule. C'mon."Bex stood up with a dreamy look on her face.

"Homework."Cammie stood up and led them out of the cafeteria and into the parking lot.

Liz's cute baby-blue vintage Bug was directly in front of them."See ya." She waved and was gone.

"D'you know Dave's single? And he's totally-" A honk interrupted Macey's gossip.

Macey groaned."It's the senator's Hummer. Gotta go guys."

Cammie and Bex muttered 'See ya' and then Macey was gone too.

Bex's red Ferrari sat beside Cammie's purple Porsche.

Bex turned to Cammie before going in her car."You better go to the party, Cam. After all, it would suck if the Prom Queen wasn't around."

Cammie felt a smile inch across her face."Count on it, Bex."

Bex returned the smile."I'll hold on to that."

When Cammie got home, she checked her massages and got a voice mail.

From Josh.

Hey, Cammie, I, um, did ya hear about the party tomorrow night, at my place? Well, I just thought you'd like to come. The theme's the Seven Deadly Sins. Right. Uh, See ya.

Cammie closed her eyes. Asshole.

Fine, like she said to Bex, she'll go to his party. After all, the theme was the Seven Deadly Sins. Sounds fun.

But she's not going back to him.

Not in a million years.

So, yada or nada?
