A/N: Thanks for the reviews everyone. Sorry the updates have been so slow.

Claire twirled in her cream dress, intended for the premiere. She loved the feel of the fabric. It was one of her favorites, as she had had it for a while. She snapped the straps on her shoulders, humming slightly. She hopped over to her cosmetics and applied her body glitter. She was re-glossing with her Royal Icing gloss from Too-Faced when Alicia shouted something. Claire's eyes grew wide with horror, unknowingly dropped her lip-gloss wand. Thinking fast, she grabbed a robe and twisted her hair into a towel.

"Uh—coming!" she shouted, flinging off her shoes as she ran into the living room.

"Whoa, um…" Alicia shut her eyes.

"I uh, just got out of the shower. So, um, going anywhere in particular?"

Alicia paused. "Just thinking about going to Fred Segal or something to buy a dress for the wrap party."

Claire blinked. "Oh-OH! Yeah, the wrap party. Look, you go on without me, I still need to um, get dressed."

"Whatever." Alicia fumbled around for her Prada wristlet, stuffing her Blackberry into the pocket of her Chip and Pepper jeans, her ballet flats making clipping sounds on the polished floor. Claire heard the door shut and sighed in relief. She took the towel off and untied the robe, smoothing the flounces on the dress. She picked up the hotel's land line phone ad punched in '4'.

"Yeah, hi I need a ride."

Claire stepped out of the limousine from the hotel was assaulted by flashes of extremely irritating bright light. She squinted against the paprazzi's cameras and walked the red carpet that had been rolled out. Reporters from E! and Access: Hollywood competed for attention. She walked faster towards the door. She posed for the camera, hand on her hips and smiled. She held it for a few moments and walked into the theatre.

Once she got inside, she saw Bria wave her over. She ran over, trying not to trip on her dress's hem.

"You. Look. Gor-JUS!" Bria exclaimed when she saw her dress. Claire blushed at the compliment.

"Thank you. You look nice too." Claire replied, returning the compliment. She took in the black strapless dress she had worn. Above the sweetheart neckline a small diamond necklace sparkled. "Nice necklace." She observed.

"Really? Thanks, it was a birthday present," Bria waved at someone. "Look, there Kane and Nicole." Claire turned and saw Kane in a red halter walking in with Nicole, in a purple one-sleeved number.

"Hi guys," Nicole stated softly.

"Hey." Was Claire's reply.

"Oh, my God. Cary Smith is here." Bria rolled her eyes.

"Who's Cary Smith?" Claire asked.

"She and Bria were friends a long time ago. This was when Bria was going out with a boy named Ben," Kane whispered "Cary told Bria Ben was breaking up with her. So, naturally, B stopped talking to him. But, because of that, Ben thought Bria was breaking up with him. Cary ended up telling Ben that Bria thought that she and Ben were much better suited for each other."

Claire was astounded at the cattiness of this girl. "So, wait a minute, she broke them up, and then stole her boyfriend?" Kane nodded grimly. "Oh, that's so sad."

"Yeah." Kane replied. Claire tried to focus on the conversation that Nicole was having with Bria when the lights began to blink.

"We'd better get to our seats." Nicole said.

After the movie was over, Claire, Bria, Kane and Nicole walked out to find more press outside. Claire moaned.

"Doles this always happen?"

Bria laughed. "Get used to it. You're in L.A.!" Claire spotted her car.

"There's my car, I've got to go. Final scenes need to be shot tomorrow, and I've got to study for Chem. Byeee!" Claire waved as she got in the car. Once in, she let out a sghi of relief and kicked off her heels. Premieres took a lot of work.

A/N: And that's the chapter. Well, review and etc.

Cheers!
