Chapter 3Paradise Isles, Starfish Estate, Julia's bedroom
8:30 A.M.
June 14th
The sound of crashing waves greeted Julia as she awoke, stretching in her Swedish, hand-made bed. She let her eyes flutter open slowly, lying there for a moment. Finally, she sat up, and she swept her eyes across her room: pale blue walls, broken up by a Picasso painting, and a huge picture window with a window seat. A bookcase was in the corner, with a few books, many magazines, and her Macbook Pro sitting on it.
She slipped out of her silk sheets, dragging her toes through the snow-white shag carpet as she made her way to the bathroom.
Two hours later, Julia was ready: bright eyes rimmed with eyeliner, making her extraordinary eyes pop even more, mini skirt, and a bright blue Ralph Lauren polo. She glanced in the mirror, making sure her hair, which had a few locks in the front pulled back in a simple silver clip, still fell perfectly across her shoulders. Pulling her phone out of her purse, she quickly texted Taylor.
JULIA: Meet me starbux. Tell E&H!
Replacing her phone in its place, she swung her purse over her shoulder, slipped on her sandals, and rode to Starbucks on her golf cart.
"Morning, guys." Julia removed her large Gucci sunglasses, parking the golf cart and stuffing the keys in her purse.
"Hey, Julia!" Taylor gave her a hug, and Emma and Hailey quickly followed.
Hailey handed her a steaming cup of coffee, which she took a sip of, sitting on one of the tables outside under a hunter green umbrella. She immediately got down to business, examining her fingernails as they turned to her attentively.
"I need all the information I can possibly get on Massie Block and her little friends." She said simply, looking to Taylor, who grinned.
"Done! Massie Block, lives in Westchester, New York, black pug named Bean-" Julia gave a snort, thinking of her Pomeranian, Artemis, who would arrive the next day, "-and she rules Octavian Country Day School." Taylor looked to Julia for approval on this information.
"I have a feeling we've barely scratched the surface on this Massie. Keep a close eye on her. Half of her school is here. Find out things." Taylor immediately nodded, tapping her task into her Blackberry.
"Anyway, Dylan Marvil. Mother, Merri-Lee Marvil, host of The Daily Grind. Self-conscious about her weight, but she apparently recently lost a lot of it."
"Hmm…" Was all Julia had to respond with as she remembered the redhead that had followed Massie around like Taylor, Emma, and Hailey did to her.
"Alright, Alicia Rivera. Gorgeous, rich, and Massie's beta. She can apparently get pretty much anything she wants from anyone because of her looks. Watch out for her, I hear she's catty and is a perfect accomplice for Massie. But I'm sure we're a match for them." All four of the girls smirked, sipping from their Starbucks cups in unison.
"There was one more, I thought?" Ah-bviously there had been a fourth girl, but instead of making Taylor out as an airhead, she decided to be subtle about her curiosity of the last girl.
"Yes, Claire Lyons. A complete and total LBR. Don't even worry about her, she's not and never will be A-list, no matter how hard Mass-ie tries to make her be." Julia smirked, twisting a dark curl around her finger.
"Wouldn't it be ah-mazing to have half the girls at some other school worshiping us in addition to the ones that already are?" Emma grinned, running her hand through her short brown hair.
"Of course. We'll show Massie Block even she can't outdo Julia Hall!" Hailey exclaimed.
Julia raised her green-and-white Starbucks cup up, which Taylor, Emma, and Hailey immediately followed, and they clinked them together, toasting their popularity.
