Frinz estate, Steph's Room, 9:52 pm, Sun August 19th.
"Your outfit looks just pur-fect for tomorrow." steph said to hallie, who had just emailed her a picture of the outfit that she was going to wear for the first day of school. "I know, it looks ah-mazing." michelle said. "you'll look so good, with your clean skin, i look like a pizza." "Oh my gosh, no you don't! You looked fine yesterday." alex assured her. Stephanie gazed at her mannequin in the corner of her room by her wall-long closet. The outfit had taken a three hour shopping trip and an hour and a half going through her closet before she finally finished it. She scanned it up and down. The off-the-shoulder pink silk top, and a white micromini. Gucci cork wedge heels completed the look. She came back to the conversation when her three best friends mentioned the name Zack. "What?" steph blurted immediately. "Wow, be up about our conversation. We thought that you had hung up after we mentioned shopping and your name thre times in a row." Alex said. "Oh, sorry." steph muttered. She had liked zack since last year, with his ah-mazing basketball skills, side-swept long blonde hair, and sparkling blue eyes...and his amazing, cool clothes that he wears and the way he matches everything perfectly. But the previous year she had made sure that he wasn't gay for his fashion sense, steph had hallie walk by in the tightest miniskirt they could find. Michelle walked by and made sure taht he was totally staring at hallie. "You guys, i gotta go." Steph finaly stated. They all said good night to steph and she got ready for bed to make sure that she would look ah-mazing the next day for Zack and the rest of HOA.
The Harris's Condo, Jess's room, 10:32 pm, sun. August 19th
Jess tossed and turned in her new, firm bed. She finally decided that she wouldn't be able to sleep that night, she was so nervous about starting The Hills Oceanside Academy the next day. But at least she had her three best friends Jillian, Lexi, and Rachel with her. They had grown up in a small suburb of Chicago all their life and had been best friends since kindergarten. She wasn't worried that she wouldn't be liked or be popular, because she and her friends had been the most popular girls in their school for as long as they could remember. Her new bedroom was eerie and quiet as she listened for any sounds. All she could hear was the murmur of the television downstairs. Jess was pretty confident, but she couldn't help but wonder if there would be anyone else more popular or pretty or more liked at school the next day.
TheFrinz car pool, 8:36 am, Monday August 20th
Steph was in the car driving to Hallie's house, looking outside the window. They pulled up to the thick gates of the entrance to the subdivision, and drove slowly up to the third mansion on the left. Hallie was sitting on a chair in her front patio, reading a book and blowing head-sized bubbles with her pink gum. She looked stunning, with her perfectly curled blonde hair, glowing mint green eyes. Wearing a green Ralph Lauren mini dress with dark-washed jeans and black mules, pulling her black louis Vuitton messenger bag around her shoulder, she walked gracefully toward the blue Range Rover. "Hey, you look great!" The girls said to each other as one entered the car. They talked about their latest celebrity sightings and shopping trips. After ten minutes, they reached michelle's penthouse. Stephanie called her phone, and within seconds michelle came down the stone steps onto the side walk as fast as her boots would let her. She tripped into the car, and said hello to both of the girls. The last stop was alex's house and stables. It was so far out, they had to take the freeway to get there. She was still getting ready when the Range Rover pulled up, so they had to wait a few minutes. She came out i her regular ensemble: shorts and a designer t-shirt. She had on a jean mini and a hot pink calvin klein tank top that looked perfect against her dark straight hair. She jogged to the range rover with her backpack strapped on her shoulders. They all high-fived each other and decided on their entrance into the school.
"Okay, we should totally line up and not look at each other. It gives a sign of being in charge." Steph eagerly said. "Yeah, that's ah-some." Hallie replied. They pulled up into the school's circular driveway, checked their hair, and got out one by one.
The Harris's car pool, 8:47 am Monday aug. 20th
As everyone scrunched into the Harris's min-van, all the girls anxiously waited to get to their new school. "Mom, could you drive any slower?" It would make a horrible first impression if we were late." Jess said colly into the mirror in her compact. She thought that she looked perfect. Every strand of her light chestnut hair was perfectly in place, and her ocean colored eyes sparked. "I heard hat there was a spa and a one and a half hour lunch break!" Jill said enthusiastically. "Oh my gosh, that's so cool!" Rachel said. "I'm totally excited that we can start over. Not that our reputation at school was bad or anything." She added, as she looked at Jess's glaring face. "I know that's totally true." Lexi assured Jess. "Okay, we're here." Jess's mom, Nancy interrupted their conversation. The girls gasped as they looked out the window to see a big white marble building with pillars and the letters HOA engraved in gold.
HOA the halls, 9:05am, Monday aug. 20th
"Hi, I'm Jess-ica." Jess said nervously as she looked at her locker neighbor. "Hey, I'm Stephanie." Steph said cooly as she scanned the girl up and down and raised her left eyebrow. She looked good, but kind of cheap. Steph thought to herself as she saw her try to get her locker open. "I'm kind of new here, could you tell me where room 104, Mr. Spenelli's classroom is?" Jess asked, trying to be nice to the new girr, and she thought that she looked a little trashy. "Oh, it's up those stairs, and the second door to the left." Stephanie pointed to the stairs behind them. "Oh, thanks a lot. See ya later." Jess hurried off to her home room class. "Not." Steph muttered to herself. Jess walked up the stairs dodging people every few seconds. She walked down the hallway and looked at the door second on the left. The sign on the door read "Boy's Restroom". What? Jess thought, that couldn't be right. She had followed the directions that steph had given her. She looked around and asked someone else for directions. It was actually on the first floor on the other end of the school. Jess had to run to not be late. Lexi and jill sat in the third row of the class in the very middle of the classroom. "Excuse you, those are our seats." One of the girls said. "And you are?" Jill asked. "Hallie." one replied. Jill noticed that she was really pretty, an felt a spark of jealousy rise in her because everyone always said that she was beautiful. "And I'm alex." the other girl said. "And you're in our seats." Lexi and jill got out of their seats and moved to the back. They glared at hallie and alex the whole class. "Who did they think they were?" Hallie asked. "I know, they're new, they're supposed to be respectful." Alex added. At the same time, they both looked back and glared at lexi and jess. "Ms. Grimwauld, we have two new students joining us today. Would it be okay if they came up and told the class where they are from, and why on earth they are here disturbing our lives so rudely?" Hallie asked the teacher. Ms. Grimwauld looked up as if she had just realized that there were eighteen snickering students in front of her. "What? Oh...yes, new students, talking, come on up girls." She said shakily. As jess and alex walked to the center of the class, glaring the whole time at hallie and alex. "Well... I'm Jill Martin, and i moved here from oak partk, illinois, it's a suburb of chicago." Jill added as she saw the dazed looks from the other students. "And I'm lexi gregory, and i moved with jessica here." "And our other two friends rachel and jessica moved with us." Jess finished. "Oh, isn't that sweet, little jill needed a support team to survive in Beverly hills." Alex said in a baby voice. The clas snickered again, and jess and lexi stared at each other. They walked back to their seats together looking like they had just seen an elephant give birth to a snake. "Nice." hallie stage whispered to alex. After the class was over, hallie and alex texted steph.
Hallie: have u seen the new gurlz?
Steph: there's more than1?
Hallie: we met 2 jill and lexi.
Steph: the gurl i met is jess.
Hallie: there is another 1. Rachel.
Steph: gr8. But they shudn't b a prob. If they r, we'll take care of them.
Hallie: u kno it.
Steph: c ya the café.
11:45 am, Monday aug 20th the HOA café/cafeteria
"Hey, how were your morning classes?" Michelle asked the other girls. "Fine. I guess you heard about our little incident in science class." Hallie explained the story with her, alex, jess, and jill to michelle. "Oh my gosh, what's there problem, messing with us?" Michelle said when hallie was done explaining the story. Once the four girls had gotten through the lunch line and had their Perrier water, sandwiches, and low-fat yogurt, they headed straight for their usual table, number 18. They stopped in the middle of the café, and the girls saw that jess, jill, lexi, and rachel were sitting at table number 18.
"And this girl steph gave me wrong directions to my home room class. I don't know, maybe she was just confused or something." Jess whispered to lexi, jill, and rachel. "Maybe, but jill and i met these mean girls in our science class. They made us get up in front of the whole class and say where we were from and everything." Lexi said. "Excuse you, but you are totally in our spots." Steph said clearly and slowly as if the other four girls were in special ed. "I know these seats aren't assigned." Michelle and alex slid the girls books and food off table number 18 and showed the girls the bottom of the table. The table read the gurlz table (steph, michelle, alex, and hallie). Jess's food had spilled all over her lap and rachel's soda was all over her shoes. "We're sorry we bothered you." Rachel said, looking like she was about to cry. "Why do you look like that, they're just fake-leather shoes, I'm sure you can buy another pair at payless or dollar general." alex snapped. Jess, jill, rachel, and lexi slowly gathered their books and their spilt food, got up, and sat at another table on the other side of the café and glared at the other girls the whole lunch hour. "I don't even know why they try to mess with us. They actually expect that they were going to be popular. Like they could ever be." Alex said to steph, michelle, and hallie. "I think that this year will be interesting. And by interesting, i mean fun torturing jessica, lexi, jill, and rachel." Steph said with a spark in her eye. When the gurlz went to P.E. after lunch, they saw jess and her friends there. They were taking tennis because pottery was too messy, swimming dried out their hair, and yoga was so out. The gurlz each plated doubles against each other, and then half way through the class the tournament started. "Now, every pair on the left side will move to the court on their left." Coach arnold said to the class. Steph was paired with hallie, they moved, but alex and michelle stayed on the court they had just played on. Steph and hallie saw that they going to be playing zack, and his best friend michael. Steph's heart dropped to her lower stomach. This was the first time that she had seen him since the may before. Steph looked at him, he looked better than ever, his hair perfectly but naturally highlighted, and his legs muscular and tan. "Steph, your serve!" hallie said for the third time to her. "Oh, sorry, okay.." She took the tennis ball, went to the back of the court, and served the ball to the opposite side of the court. Michael immediately sent it back over, and hallie hit it to the front edge on the gus side, zack hit it, and steph went for the ball, and tried to look her best as she gracefully hit the ball. It soared up, and hit zack in the head. He dropped his racket, and fell backwards. "Oh my gosh, I'm soooooo sorry, are you okay?" Steph hurried around the net and bent down and all she heard was zack grunt quietly. "I'm going to go get coach arnold." Hallie said awkwardly, and ran behind all the other courts to the coach's office on the other side of the gym. "I'll go make sure she finds him." michael said, running after hallie, staring straight at her butt. Steph rolled her eyes, al the gus always loved hallie for her blonde hair, perfect eyes and boobs, and bouncy butt. Zack sat up, and opened his eyes. "Are you okay? I'm soooo sorry." steph said quietly, trying not to make a scene. "I'm fine, that was a nice hit by the way." He said, rubbing his forehead. Hallie cam running with a bag of ice. "Here." She handed zack the ice.
Meanwhile, alex and michelle were playing against lexi and rachel. "Your serve." lexi threw the ball and barely missed michelle's head. She looked ferociously at lexi. She jump-served the ball as hard as she could, and rachel had to dive on the ground to get it. It went over, and alex hit it back, it was on rachel's side again, but she was still on the ground, so she missed the ball by four feet. Alex and michelle screamed, "YES!" And lexi helped rachel up. "And that's how you play it at HOA. If you can't handle it, then get out. NOW." alex said, her competitive sporty side coming out like it did every afternoon in P.E. "What's your problem with me and my friends?" Lexi asked and walked up to the other girls. "You just come into our school, thinking that you can suddenly become cool and popular, well you're wrong, we already have that covered. And I'm sure HOA doesn't need anymore popular people, and even if the rest of the school thinks so, we won't let that happen." Michelle said as she walked closer to lexi. "You might have been all cool at your stupid little school in illinois, but you're not going to be here. And you may think it unfair, but life isn't fair." Michelle said. "LEARN TO DEAL." michelle and alex said together and headed for the locker rooms to change. "We have to do something. We can't let them do this, cuz we are going to be on top." Rachel said to lexi once they were the last people in the gym.
"We totally snapped on jill and rachel today in PE." Alex said to hallie and steph after school at the starbucks at the mall. "I know, we have to do something about them. I don't know what's with them." Steph said and had a sip of her mocha frappichino. "What should we do?" Hallie asked. "I think i might have something, but we should wait a while to see if they do something first, because it wouldn't make a good vibe for us to give to the rest of te school so early in the year." Steph said. "But we should totally start planning."
