"Oh my god!" Arieah exclaimed "What a great top!" she was pointing at a purple cap sleeved shirt.
"Yeah, it's awesome hey," I said and trying not to boast I added "I've got it already." Arieah nodded and continued walking to the next shop in the mall. Arieah had just moved in across the road, Mom said, and she was pretty good company, as far as I could tell. I couldn't believe she was a model when Mom told us before they came, but once I saw her, I could understand! Right now, decked out in really cool clothes she was glancing over the equally cool clothes in Macey's, with her long dark blonde hair hanging perfectly over her shoulder.
"How about this?" I said holding up a tan skirt.
"Cool," Arieah said as she glanced over "on you, not for me…I prefer louder colours." She pulled out a knee length sea-green skirt in a glittery fabric. "More like this." She added it to her arm-full of clothes 'to try', as she called it.
I mindlessly browsed over the clothes, not really looking at anything.
"Hey Jess!" Arieah called from the otherside of the store in her British accent "I'm just going to try this stuff on alright?"
"Sure thing…do you want some advice?" I asked, trying to be 'neighborly'.
"Alright then." She said dashing into the dressing room.
After about another three hours, we had gone to every shop the was worth going into in the entire mall, and Arieah's arms were full of bags, I only had my new shoes to show for our expedition.
"Fancy a bite to eat?" Arieah asked me, clearly enjoying herself.
"Ok," I said and we went to a coffee shop to get what Arieah considered to be a perfect snack (muffins and iced tea).
"Hey Jessy."
I looked up, suddenly to the voice that could only be one person's. "Lacey." I said coldly "I thought I told you not to call me that."
"Sorr-eyy." She taunted, looking very snobby. "Who's your friend? Or is she related?" Lacey continued hauntyly.
Why couldn't she ever leave me alone? I thought. I mean, why does she have to always turn up like this? As if at school it isn't enough!
"She' has a name," Arieah said, startling me out of my glare. No one ever had the nerve to talk to Lacey like that on a first meeting.
"And 'She' is named Arieah." Arieah thought about for a second and considering, said "Arieah Linh Renyolds to you."
"Oh really," Lacey said, voice dripping with hate. "Well, I'll leave you two to your sickenly fattening food."
Arieah gave her an arched look and raised an eyebrow "Off with you then."
Lacey sort of growled and stalked off, forgetting to do her 'cool' walk.
"Well!" I said turning to Arieah "She certainly isn't going to leave you alone."
"Who, or what, was that?" Arieah asked laughingly.
"That was Lacey Frells, the most popular girl at SVJH, and she's nasty to the people she likes, let alone the ones she hates." I said, not believing that Arieah would take this so lightly, afterall, she'd have had a lot of dealing with popularity.
"What'd she do? Pay people?" Arieah said, eating the last of her muffin "I can tell we're going to get along famously." She grinned wickedly, and stood up. "Ready to go?"
I nodded and got up, glad that this new girl was on my side. She'd show Lacey that being nasty wasn't everything.
Instant messages exchanged between that night by Liz, Anna and Salvador.

"Come on Lizzy," Jess's voice whined "Get ready…we have to get Arieah before school."
I groaned. "So your telling me that you're already ready to go?" I called in disbelief. Jess is never ready on time, let alone early.
"Yes I am your highness. So get. Ready!" I heard her steps go back down the stairs. I fixed up my hair, for the fifteenth time, glanced again in the mirror
"Bad hair day…" I said to my reflection and tugged at my pony tail, that already had pieces coming out of it. I shrugged and ran down stairs. I wasn't supposed to be the prissy one, that was Jess's place.
"Ok ok I'm ready," I called as I grabbed my bag and lunch money of the kitchen counter.
"Good!" Jess said from the front door. "So am I!"
We walked over to Arieah's place to wait for her. After not that long, she came bouncing out of the front door, long hair streaming behind her.
"Good morning!" she said happily.
"'morning," I said as we hopped on the bus. Jess and Arieah sat behind me and I tried to read my book and ignore their converstation.
"I hope this is alright to wear to school," Arieah said as we sat down. She had been tugging and pulling at her bleached blue bell bottom jeans and sleeveless glittery bright yellow top.
"It's fine." Jess replied "Very fashionable."
They went on for ages talking about shopping malls, and clothes and even track, of which Arieah was apparently a long and short distance runner. When we finally got off the bus I sighed with relief. One bus trip with chatterboxes, over! I could so totally tell that this was not going to be a good day.
We all walked into school, Arieah disappeared off to the office to find where her classes were and I went to my locker.
"Come on you stupid piece of metal," I threatened it, trying to put in my lock code for the third time unsuccessfully. I wacked it with my fist. A little too hard. "Ow ow ow." I said cradling my hand "Stupid locker." I kicked it this time, getting very annoyed.
"Well well, this is a new form of stress management I haven't heard of yet, locker beating." I turned to face Blue. I blushed, wishing I hadn't looked like such an idiot around him.
"Hi Blue." I said, trying to stop my blushing and my throbbing hand from aching.
"Having a bad day already?" he said sympathetically "I'll see ya at volleyball training this afternoon, I've gota go right now!" he dashed off.
BRING!
The bell went and I hadn't even opened my locker yet. I tried again. "Yahoo!" I exclaimed as it finally opened. I only just made it into homeroom on time for my name to be called.
"Elizabeth Wakefeild," Mrs Smythe said
"Here." I said, trying to catch my breath.
"Oh my god!" Arieah exclaimed "What a great top!" she was pointing at a purple cap sleeved shirt.
