Steph layed on herhot pink silk comferter on bed in a tank top and boy shorts thinking about the days events. For one thing, she thought that it was kind of rude to be that mean to new people. but who was she kidding, she and her friends were never nice. though she still felt a twinge of guilt every time the lunch scene rolled into view in her mind. their food had slopped all over them, and they looked devastated. Though they were pretty, she thought. Steph couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like if one of them had zach. She shook that thought from her mind. Steph heard a ding coming from her computer. She had an im from Hallie.
Halliebaby47: hey waz up?
Hillzruler4eva: nm thinking bout those gurls.
Halliebaby47: what was with them? i have a plan Hillzruler4eva:what?
Halliebaby47: i'll call u.
Hallie told Steph an outrageously ah-some plan to bring down those unwelcomenewcomers.

"Come sit by me," Steph said in her best fake sweet voice. "Okay... I guess." Jess sat down in the desk beside Steph. Jess was getting suspicious about why she was being nice to her, but decided that she had finally given in to the fact that there were new rulers at HOA. She went with it. "I totally love your outfit," Jess said, giving Steph a once-over.
"Okay class, today we will be starting projects that will count as seventy five percent of your grade this quarter." Mrs.
Cinston paused and took a sip of her starbucks latte. "you will be making a power point book report," everyone groaned. "Now, now, at least i'm letting you choose whatever book you choose. Your project will need to be at least six pages long." After passing out four pages of information and directions, and gave the due date. The bell rang and everyone picked up their messenger bags,
pencil pouches, and notebooks while they hurried to their next class. Jess noticed that Steph kept looking at her during class.
"Hey, do you wanna come over after school and do homework?" Steph now knew her voice was working, because Jess looked like she was genuinely considering it. "Yeah, that'd be cool." Jess took her time with the answer. "You can drive home with me, if that's okay, but we'll have to drop Hallie, Michelle, and Alex off first, if you don't mind." Steph was doing a victory dance in her head. Stage one of the plan was complete. Steph gave Jess her cell number, and Jess said that she'd text her before the end of the day to let her know if she could come or not.
