2nd floor girls' restrooms

Jess was crying and wiping spit balls out of her hair. "How could they do this?" Rachel said, trying to dry her shirt with the hand blow dryer, then using paper towels. "We totally can't let them get away with this, can we?" Jill said, and turned toward Jess. "NO. And we won't." Jess's voice was oddly confident. Her friends were puzzled, but she wasn't at all. Jess stormed out of the bathroom with grace, Jill, Lexi, and Rachel followed, having to run to keep up with her.

Jess's Bedroom

Jess, Jill, Lexi, and Rachel sat in a circle sipping chocolate milkshakes. Lexi stood up, "I'm totally over them." She walked toward Jess's mirror and tightened her high ponytail. "I mean, yesterday, I really wanted them to like me. But now, after I've seen what they did, I'm not really sure i care anymore." Rachel raised her eyebrows, "Well, duh. But do you think we were this mean back home?" She looked at Jess. "Ya know, since we were popular there?" "I dunno..." Lexi took the words out of Jess's mouth. She knew they were mean, but she didn't think that they were that mean. Sure, they hadmade 14 girls cry in one semester, but nobody actually said anything mean to them. Jess sipped and looked down at her hot pink straw and stirred her milkshake. She kind of felt bad if they had been that mean. She decided at that moment, that she wasn't going to try to get revenge on The Gurlz.
She thought that it was best to wait and see what happens.

"Hullo?" Lexi was waving her hand in front of Jess's face. "Oh.. What?" Jess shook her head. "Do you have any revenge planned yet? We figured that's what you were thinking about while you were totally spacing." Rachel ran her hands through her thick dirty blonde hair as she spoke for the other three girls. Jess looked around and noticed that Lexi and Jill looked eager and their eyes sparked with excitement. "Actually..." Jess sat up on hr knees and turned around to put her milkshake on the silver tray lying on her bed. She grabbed a fuzzy purple pillow and plopped back downon the floor. "I was thinking, that we could not." "Not what"
Jill asked. "Not get revenge," Jess saw her friends' faces and paniced. "Yet, of course." "Oh, good. Cuz I thought you were about to say you weren't going to have revenge on thosse biotches at all, and I was about to say," Lexi said.

Besides that fact that she was mildly scared of what The Gurlz might think of if they actually did do something to them, Jess couldn't think of a single good idea. "Hey, you guys, I'm tired, I think I'm gunna go to bed, you know where everything is ." Jess climbed on top of her purple and white satin comforter and slowly fell asleep, thinking about what she could do, because inside she really wanted everyone to like her.

The Frinz Estate

Steph's Bedroom

3:22 am

Saturday, Aug. 24th

Steph and Hallie watched Michelle and Alex sleep. They were always the last two to be awake. Steph thought it was because she and Hallie had higher matablisims, so they would have more energy to be awake. But Hallie knew that it was because she and Steph were slaves to Starbucks. "Hey, let's get outta here," Steph whispered to Hallie and crept up and out of her sleeping bag. The two girls walked out to Steph's Ranchos. They were 10 mexican-themed huts lining the left side of the house. They went into the first one. They often did this when they had nothing else to do, to talk when everyone else was asleep. "You want something to drink?" Steph was bending down and opened the mini fridge and pulled out a virgin pina coloda. "Sure, umm... what you're having I guess." Hallie layed out multi-colored pillows and mexican blankets for them to sit on. Steph plopped down next to Hallie and handed her the drink.

"Do you feel kinda bad for doing that to Jess and all of them?" Steph said slowly, then added to her statement when she saw the look on Hallies face. "Cuz I did a little at first, but then decided that what we did to them, we've probably done the same ammount of humiliation to all of the other girls in our grade, just in a longer period of time. So we were just catching them up." Steph decided that she was pretty satisfied for adding that little bit, because she ha dmade it up the second she said they came out of her mouth.

"Me too." Hallie said, then quickly taking a sip of her pina coloda to side step any further questioning. She had been feeling really guilty ever since she had seen Jess run out of the cafeteria crying. It had reminded her of the school years before she had became "in" and friends with Steph. Steph, Michelle, and Alex had been best friends along with another girl, Abby, but she had moved to Colorado two years earlier. They had made Hallie's life miserable. But what they did seemed so much worse than what they did to Hallie. Probably because they had tortured her because she had spread rumors about them, but Jess and her friends hadn't done anything particurally bad.

Steph thought it was time to ask for advice about Zach. Hallie always had an answer to everything. "Hey.." Steph started, but was still aprehensive about it. She knew that Hallie had liked him a few years ago, and he totally liked her. Steph wasn't sure if she still did, but if they got together, her life would be ruined. Zach seemed to be the only thing getting Steph by now a days...
