Later that day, Nicole met up with her friends. They sat at their usual table at the center
of the room, which seemed to represent their power. No one could really figure out how they became
so popular so quick. They were freshmans, the lowest of the highschool species, but they were already
the most talked about girls in school- or at least Nicole was. Because of her, they got invited to
all the senior parties and hung out with all the older guys. It was truely the 8th wonder of the
world- aside from the invention of toaster pizzas.
"We've found it out!" Stephanie announced proudly. "We have finally figured it out!"
"Figured out what?" Nicole asked, confusion evident in her voice. Clearly she had forgotten.
"The answer to your problem," Ally stated. Nicole still looked out of the loop, so she went
on. "Ashley heard from Tina who heard from Sarah that Tiffany S. and Amber T. found out about your
little "service" and were talking about it on the bus yesterday morning. Luckily no one else heard--
I think," she informed her friend. A light went off in Nicole's brain.
"Ohhh!" her voice went from relieved to serious. "How did they find out about that?"
"Appearently Brian Johnson told all his friends about your...eh... 'service' and they are
lining up for as soon as you're done with Tad." Stephanie replied.
"Ugh... service. It makes it sound so dirty. Nicole said in slight disgust. It wasn't though;
at least it didn't start out that way. It had all started in the summer, a couple of weeks before
school went into session. She and a good friend had watched this movie about a girl who prentended
to go out with soem guys for money. It wasn't that great of a movie, but that was besides the point.
They had been fooling around and he said "Hey Nicole! You would be really good at that!" as a joke, of
course. But later when Brian Johnson's girlfriend broke up with him, Nicole offered to go out with
him to make her jealous. She never would have agreed to it anyway if he hadn't of followed her
around for 3 days begging her to do so. And it worked too-- Brian was back with his girlfriend
in a matter of a week. It was sort of funny; she had made Kristina Chapman so jealous that she
wanted Brian back by Saturday.
They had everyone convinced that they were going out. Only the innermost members of their groups
knew that it was all a hoax. They even had the teachers fooled.
When the whole thing was over, her science and literature teachers came up to her to offer her their
sympathy. "We heard about what happened," they said. "Don't worry. There are plenty of guys who
would be honored to go out with you." This made her laugh. She wasn't sad at all-- the plan had
worked, and she got $15 dollars out of it. What more could she ask for?
It did seem a bit manipulative; playing off other people's emotions and natural weaknesses
for monetary profit and gain. But Nicole was short on cash, and this gig payed well. And it really
sounded worse than it actually was. Plus, with the way things worked, the whole thing was forgotten
by Monday. But Brian still winks at her everytime he passes her in the hall- Kristina unknowingly
snickering at her at the same time. Since then, she had 4 "clients", and it seemed that she was
never short on cash. And for as long as no one else found out, she was living the high life--
well, at least as high of a life can be when your 14 years old. But if anyone important did find out,
she faced suspension and possibly expellation. But she wasn't going to think about that right now.
"Well, you know they won't tell anyone. They're too snotty to converse with anyone but seniors
and guys with cars. That excludes teachers, parents, and anyone who has ever shopped anywhere
but Macy's and Wet Seal... which is basically our entire school--- so you're good." Stephanie
ended right before the bell rang.
