Claire smiled as she plopped onto her bed in the Block's guesthouse. She sat up and looked back over at the pile of bags she had dropped at her doorway. Claire felt satisfied that she could buy all this stuff. She still was surprised when her mom handed Claire her latest pay check. "We won't be needing this for a while," she said with a smile as she handed over a large wad of bills to Claire.

Now Claire was back from her first time she was actually shopping with the Pretty Committee. She felt for the first time that she really did belong in Westchester. She looked around her room, she figured they would move soon, but now, Claire didn't know if she wanted to. Just at that moment she heard a knock on her door. "Come in," Claire called softly.

Her mother flung open the door. "Honey!" she exclaimed, "We got all of the money! Your father and I are gonna look for houses in the morning! I heard there's a bunch of new houses by OCD, and they're mansions! We might be living in a mansion!" Claire, looked at her mom who was the most giddy than she had ever seen her.

She couldn't help but hug her mom. "Mom! I can't believe this is actually happening! It's all happening so fast!" Then she broke out of it, grinning.

Her mom nodded, and jumped up to leave. Claire confusingly looked at her mom. Knowing this language Claire used she replied, "I have to tell your brother!"

When her mom was gone, she phoned Layne to come over ASAP and texted Massie and the rest of the Pretty Committee the great news. Then, she leaned off her bed to pick up some bags. Instinctively, she pulled out her new clothes and started putting them away. In a cool shiver down her spine, she realized that maybe she shouldn't be putting away her things yet. After all, knowing her father, they might be moving pretty soon.

Layne walked into her bedroom door fifteen minutes later. Claire expected some slurping noise form that disgusting yogurt Layne had been carrying around for some time now, or at least some kind of sound from another type of food being eaten, but there was nothing. So when Layne greeted her as she flopped onto Claire's bed, Claire, who had been at her desk texting Kristen, jumped.

Claire spun around from her chair, "LAYNE, you scared me!"

"Yeah, I've been doing that a lot lately," she replied as Claire got up from her chair and sat among her T-shirt pillows.

"What happened?" Claire asked, although she knew that before she got the answer out to that she would have to tell Layne why she asked her to come over so urgently. Claire still wanted to know, so she decided to nonchalantly playing with one of the pillows. She sighed as she caught that expression on her friend's face that allowed her to know that she wasn't going to tell till she did.

"Okay," Claire said, "Well, we just won six-billion dollars." She looked up at her scornful friend to await the sarcastic remark would come out of her mouth, but it didn't come out the way Claire was expecting. Instead Layne smiled as she came closer to congratulate her friend.

"That is great, Claire!" She lowly whistled, "That's a lot of money. Wonder watch'a gonna do with it. I know you can give it to that Layne kid, she deserves it!" Claire smiled old Layne. "Okay, so when you moving out of that drone's home?" she asked as she thrust her thumb toward Massie's house.

"My parents are looking at some houses tomorrow."

"Which ones?"

"My mom said the new ones by OCD."

Another whistle, "I've seen those before. They're bigger than Massie's house. I think they're even bigger than that Alicia's too."

Claire's eyes grew huge, "I knew that they were mansions, but that big?"

"Well it's been nice knowing ya," Layne said simply as she saluted Claire, "You'll never be able to find your way out through all those rooms. You'll starve to death. Then a few years later, your parents will com into that room where your rotting corpse is, and go, 'No wonder why we haven't seen her since we've moved!'"

Claire playfully pushed Layne to the ground. Layne then returned the favor by slapping Claire across the face. Then the whole thing blew up into a crazy fight that only ended when Claire's father walked in to tell Layne time to go.

After Layne left Claire, felt empty, and wondered. What will my life be like now?
