Lily's POV
This was insane. This was totally, totally, totally stupid. So why did I pretend like I enjoyed it? Was everyone else's shallow-ness rubbing off on me? I was in some room, poorly lit, with the Golds surrounding me. It was the "Gold" room or something. No one but the Golds and Golds-in-training were aloud in it. And guess who's a trainee? Moi.
"Alright." Kim announced, making everyone silent. "Lily Randall. The new girl. Lucky you. You're our last hope Lila an-"
"It's Lily." I interrupted. Kim looked at me with her shiny eyes, her mouth curving upwards into a smile. Not a welcoming one. A don't-ever-interrupt-me-ever smile. I shut up and saw that Ray was trying to hide his laughter. I glared at him, but it didn't work. I was still just a trainee. He didn't care what I thought. Yet.
"Anyway...Lily..." she spat out the name Lily as if to say, Are you happy now? I was. "You're our last hope." Last hope? I pondered. What about the other girls? But I was silent still because I really didn't want to see that smile of Kim's. Scary. I shuddered at the thought as Kim continued with her little speech. "The Golds need to have some qualites that you need to have."
"First of all, poise..." Audrey put a book on her head and she walked around, with grace and charm.
"Politeness..." Travis politely helped Audrey when the book fell of her head.
"Charisma..." Robbie started saying a speech, without even stuttering.
"Brains..." Ray went up to the chalkboard and started answering super-hard problems. I gasped. Kind of hard to believe that Ray is smart...
"Looks..." Audrey took out a pocket mirror and smiled a sexy smile. The boys did the same. God, are they conceited or what? I thought to myself.
"A good sense of humor..." Ray started cracking jokes and they all laughed together.
"Loyalty, and of course popularity." Kim turned to me. "Do you want to become a Gold Lily? Will you take the first task?"
I squirmed in my seat. It was so surprising that I would become popular. I would have people worshiping me. I would have guys asking me out. Wow. But then my brain started working again.
"Um, first, before I accept or decline...what did you mean by last hope? What about the other new girls?" I asked.
Kim was about to say something, when Travis interrupted her. "We checked them out. One's a Japanese girl, and the other's a nerd."
Ray couldn't help but put his two cents in. "We couldn't understand the Japanese girl and we just gave the nerdy girl a Yellow slip."
"But you Lily, you have spunk." Spunk? I listened to Travis, not knowing if that was a compliment or insult. "And you're cute."
Audrey then put her arm through Travis' and then said playfully, "What about me?"
"Your cuter." Travis smiled and then they went in their own world.
"Oh yes. Travis and Audrey are going out. So are Robbie and I. Ray...Ray's...Ray's a playboy I guess you could say." Kim said with a smirk; I looked at Ray who was winking at some pretty girls out the window. Kim's right on target, I thought, grinning to myself.
"So? Lily? Will you do it?" Kim asked once again and then the entire spotlight was on me.
Should I do it? I thought. I never excepted I would become a shallow, popular person on my first day of school. I wasn't really sure. I mean...some people would die for this chance. And I didn't want to get on the Golds' enemy list, so I sighed, and then said,
"I'll do it."
I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
O.o Poor Lily. She has no choice! Well, thanks for replying guys...you totally ROCK! Ew. I sound...stupid. Very, very stupid.
BUT I AM STUPID!
