Ralph Lauren
Sunday, April 1
10:00 A.M.
"Where'd Alicia go?" Massie wondered out loud.
"Um, Mass, no offense, but even I know that," Claire said, "This is Ralph Lauren."
"But we've been in here for nearly an hour," Massie whined, "and I want to go get some new Lacoste shirts."
"Well, we still have three more hours, Mass, so chill." Alicia calmly walked toward them, three "Ralph Lauren" bags in tow.
"Finally!" Massie, Claire, Dylan and Kristen chorused together. Alicia smiled, and the five girls walked out of the store.
In the Lacoste store, Massie made a beeline for a table stacked high with multi colored Lacoste polos.
"Polo shirts are SO in this spring." Massie informed the rest of the Pretty Committee. Each girl grabbed shirts in several different colors and went to the dressing rooms to try them on.
Once alone in her dressing room, Claire slipped off her Nike sweatshirt and pink beater. She slid on the topmost polo from her pile, an olive green one. She knew she probably wouldn't buy it anyways, considering she couldn't spend even a fraction of what the others could, but she figured she may as well try it anyway. She buttoned up three of the buttons and looked at herself in the mirror. Olive was apparently NOT her color.
"Is everyone ready to show them?" Claire heard Massie's muffled voice coming from the next dressing room over. Claire sighed at her reflection in the mirror before opening the door and stepping out of her dressing room. They went around, looking at everyone's shirt and evaluating each of them. Massie was first. She wore a navy blue polo, and it looked good on her. She, however, decided not to get it, because she had an almost identical one at home already. Dylan wore a black one, obviously considering the fact that black was slimming. The girls didn't need to say anything, they just shook their heads. Kristen wore a bright orange shirt.
"You look ah-mazing Kristen!" Massie squealed. Kristen fumbled with the price tag and shook her head.
"One of us will buy it for you!" Alicia piped in.
"You need to have it." Dylan added. Claire figured her comment wasn't needed, as she wouldn't be part of the paying for of the shirt, but a glare from Alicia caused her to say
"Omygosh, it looks so cute!"
Alicia's yellow one got o okay, but she then decided that she didn't like it. AT Claire's shirt, Massie just made a face, and all five girls laughed hysterically.
The girls walked back into the dressing rooms and tried on the rest of the shirts. To Claire's surprise, each girl, including herself, walked out of the store with at least one shirt. Kristen got the orange one, and Dylan got a baby blue one. Massie bought a dark purple one, a white one, and a green one. Alicia bought a red one and the black one Dylan had considered. Massie and Alicia had bought Claire a pastel pink one. Claire kept stammering her thanks to Massie and Alicia, but they waved it off like it was nothing. To them it was nothing, Claire reminded herself.
As the girls walked through the mall, they exchanged gossip, told each other about their plans for April vacation and summer, and stopped to get juices at the mall's Dr. Juice. As they girls were sipping their respective juices, they heard a vaguely familiar voice calling from behind them.
"Alicia, Massie, Kristen, Dylan, Kuh-laire! Yoo-hoo! Long time no see!" Massie held her breath and turned around, hoping against hope that it wasn't…
Ahh, yes, a total cliffy...betcha can't guess who it is! ;-)! I need some ideas for ways for the girls to get back at Nina, and for her to get them again. Got any? Reviews not necessary, but GREATLY appreciated. More is onthe way in a short period of time...I promise! R
