"Abby! You look great!" Dawn squealed as she hopped into the car. "I mean, hey, Abby, what's up? What's up, Kristy, Stacey, Claud? Hey, Charlie." Dawn squeezed in between Kristy and Abby, and gave Abby a smile. Abby smiled back, a little weirded out by Dawn. Then again, everyone was weirded out by Dawn. Mary Anne just hopped in next to Stacey and Kristy, pulled some Virginia Slims out of her purse, and blew smoke everywhere.
The drive to the mall didn't take a long time. On the way though, someone remembered about Mallory and Jessi.
"Yo, Stace-o, where's your hot sixth grade friend at?" Charlie asked her when they were halfway there.
"What do you mean, Charlie? Oh! Mallory and Jessi? I don't know. Claud called them and said they couldn't make it. What happened, Claudia?"
Claudia shifted around in her seat for a moment before answering.
"Uh- Mallory had to- um, something about horses and Jessi had a- a um- a baptism in the Bronx to go to! Yeah! A baptism. Heh, heh."
Claudia was lying, even though no one knew it. It was Claudia's job to invite the other two members of the club, Mallory Pike and Jessi Ramsey, on the mall trip. Claudia didn't want to invite Mallory. First off, Mallory was pretty. Charlie had noticed last time, and she didn't want him to ignore Claudia. Mallory had long, curly auburn hair, deep brown eyes, straight teeth, perfect features and great skin. Claudia was insanely jealous, and any competition made her want to kill people. So, Claudia did not call either of the two girls, because Jessi would have told Mallory anyway. The rest of the babysitters dismissed it, and they pulled up into the mall parking lot.
As everyone was getting out of the car, Charlie stopped Stacey.
"Stacey, could you wait a minute? I'll meet you guys in a couple of hours." He asked her, and told the baby sitters. Stacey nodded and the other girls went into the mall. The browsed around in the junior section until Stacey came in five minutes later, flustered. Nobody asked her what happened.
