Of truth, lies, and a dance

Kate picked up the letter. She read it out loud.

Dear Lily,

Dear lily? More like hate lily! This is Alice and Kate! Your best friends. Yeah right. We were only friends with you because we wanted to get close to all your secrets. Mmm-hmm. I bet you are all like yeah right, but sorry lils, it's true. Oops! Did we hurt your feelings? Aw, too bad. Well I hope this letter will change the way you feel about friends, no? yeah we are like so sorry... NOT! Expect a few pranks and rumors about you from ... you guessed it! Yours truly.

Ta Ta for now, girlfriend!

Luv,(not)

Alice and kate

Your former best friends

"Oh ,my god!" Alice gasped. "how hurtful! No wonder she's mad at us. She thinks we wrote it. Oh dear! How terrible!"

Kte nodded We should explain to her."

" But like, how? She hates us! Oh god help us!" Alice looked ready to cry again.

" Alice, Alice. Take it easy" Kate said calmly. She knew Alice can be very emotional and dramatic. "We'll just explain to her little at a time, understand?"

"All right," Alice swallowed her tears. That moment Madeline swept elegantly into the room.

" Whoa! What, is it Halloween already?" Kate looked at Madeline. She was wearing a strapless dark red dress and went to her ankles. Her black hair was a mass of glossy curls. Madeline also put on a pair of ruby earrings and a silver ruby necklace.

"No, darlings," Madeline purred. "It's for the welcoming ball tonight. The others are helping Lils. She is quite mad at you guys, by the way." Saying this, she left.

" Think you can talk to her at the ball?" Kate smiled at Alice, an idea forming.

Alice looked at herself. "Oh no," She whined. She was wearing a tight strapless silk black dress that went down to the floor. Her long blonde hair was tucked into an elegant bun. (using one of those hairorigami things you buy at Claire's) Kate had applied so much mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lip liner, lip-gloss and blush that you can't even tell that it was Alice. To complete the outfit, Kate put a silver necklace with a single pearl and matching pearl earrings.

" I am not going out like this," Alice said determinedly.

"You so totally are," Kate smiled.

"I don't look like me!" Alice wailed.

" Think I care, Al's?" Kate joked. "Now go!"

Alice glowered but headed for the door. "See ya!" Kate waved.


So sorry people! Gotta wait for another week! Oh well, in your spare time you can REVIEW! Come on now!

Yours truly,
