The bell rang, and since I knew Claire liked to walk in on time, I got up, and helped Dylan up. I still didn't like the idea of walking in with the public, so I walked slower than I usually walked (which was probably slower than a turtle!) and made sure to spend awhile perfecting my outfit. When I was absolutely sure that we wouldn't show up too early, I picked up to my normal speed (which was still a slow walk) and opened the door to the café. I and my friends didn't even have to pick out a song to walk to, to be walking in synch… we just all fell in step together. All but Olivia, that is! She was never on the exact same page as the rest of us! She was in her own little world, where it was okay to be look separated from your group… IN PUBLIC! When I had first really met Olivia, at the first boy girl Halloween party, I thought we would be great friends, because we were so much alike! I mean, we both love shopping, and flirting, we can both get ANY boy in the school (except for no one but Claire could touch Cam, and if Olivia made a move on Josh I would bite her head off!) but I had failed to see the one, most important, difference between us: I wanted power; To always be center stage! But Olivia didn't give a crap, as long as there were boys around to tease!

Dylan: Y is Kristen sitting over ther w/the LBRs?! I thot she was gonna sit w/us!

Alicia: Change of plans! shez gonna walk with us around the hallways, and carpool w/us afterschool!

Claire: I have a questian

Alicia rolled her eyes in her mind. Claire was always messing her texts up… but it was kind of funny!

Alicia: go

Claire: who am I carpooling w/?

Dylan: O yea! I 4got! Cam sed 2 tell u that he was gonna double u home on his bike

Alicia: AWWW! 3

Claire: Thanx Leesh

All of the girls put their cell phones into their purses, as Principle Burns came up to make her daily announcements.

I rushed off to the office to do my announcements, and when I looked behind me, I saw Claire and Dylan giggling just the way they always had!

I opened the office door to the smell of burnt coffee and cheap lotion. As I walked to my announcements booth, I breathed in a breathe-full of stale bubble-gum air, and, like I always did, I grabbed my purse, took out my ANGELS perfume, and spritzed the booth with it, until it smelled like home!

She put on her new, slim head-set, and counted down

Five, four, three, two, one!

"Hey! What's up BOCD?! This is Alicia Rivera with your morning broadcast! Girls: more cheerleading tryouts will be held Friday in the gymnasium… You know, the place where the coaches talk to us about the correct form of running, and we pretend to listen!" I could hear people laughing, so I paused until it died down, " and Boys, I know how much you guys love chess! There will be a chess competition, school-wide! So got Tomahawks and Sirens! Also, Nurse Adele has decided to paint the locker rooms, and if you help her, you will get out of swimming, and get extra credit! So, if you're interested in that, just stop by the nurse's office, and talk with her! So, that's all for now! This is Alicia Rivera saying I heart you!" I turned off my headset, and listened to the applause. They always applauded after I did the announcements, and there was nothing special about today, but I loved to listen to them all cheer… for me! I was like a celebrity! They loved me!

I walked down the halls back toward the café, listening to people tell me how good I did, and made my way towards the table that my friends were sitting at! I sat down in between Olivia, and Claire, and watched Dylan move her food around her plate with a fork. Olivia was pushing her cuticles back. Claire had her phone out under the table texting Massie and Cam. Kristen, four tables away, was laughing at something someone in the geek squad had said. And Massie was texting Claire, and flirting with a cute boy that I didn't recognize! I should've knew that Massie would bounce back, and not even think about any of us! She was just the kind of person that didn't need anyone that she knew to be near her, as long as there was someone around that she could talk to. She didn't have to know them, or even care about them… she was awesome! But so was I! Massie had ditched me because I made her stupid cheer squad better, and yet I had come out of it alpha of her ex-friends! Maybe I was better! The only person that from The Pretty Committee I couldn't completely control was her, and Claire! But no one had ever been able to control Claire! That's why everyone loved her!
