Tatiana was sitting in the center of the Astor Place Starbucks listening to
Megan's gossip. "And Heather's coming back to school today. Oh and Rob has
mono." Megan chirped. Tatiana smiled and then broke into giggles. "Rob has
mono, how did Rob get mono? Who on earth would be kissing Rob?" Tatiana
managed between giggles. Megan waved a manicured hand. "That's not
important. Heather's got loads of new clothes and books and makeup and
stuff. She's gonna look amazing." Tatiana quickly shut her mouth. None of
these girls had everdone that to her. She hid her anger and smirked, "How's
she gonna know? She'll probably strut through the halls looking like Clown
Barbie. And then bump into some hottie's locker and when he laughs she'll
just walk on. Tatiana got up and strode magnificently around the Starbucks
with her eyes closed. "Excuse me" she gigled and opened her eyes as she
bumped into someone. Heather stood before her, dressed in an adorable pair
of DKNY jeans and a matching light pink halter top. Her open toed sandals
were the exact same shade of pink and her jean purse had tiny rhinestones
that sparkled in Tatian's eyes. Heather lifted her pink sunglasses off the
bridge of her nose and pushed them back into her shimmering brown hair.
"Hi, I don't think we've met. I'm Heather." She smiled sweetly and extended
her hand. "Tatiana. I helped throw your benefit. It's great to meet you."
Tatiana gave Heather one of her most dazzling smiles and took Heather's
outstreched hand. "Heather, come over here we've missed you sooooo much"
Megan cooed, "I see you've met Tatiana." Heather turned in Megan's
direction and said, "Sorry, but I've got to get going. I'm just gonna get
my coffee and go meet Ed." Megan's jaw dropped as she watched Heather grab
her mocha latte and walk through the front door. Melaine was the first to
break the silence. "Umm, so now that Heather's back in full force what are
we gonna do?" The confused blonde looked from Megan to Tatiana and back
again. Tatiana didn't need these girls but she had to admit that being
popular was fun. "We'll talk later Mel" Megan said quietly. Then she turned
to Tatiana and said, "What are you still doing over there?"
