Octavion Country Day

The Café

September 12th

12:00 p.m.

"Okay. Is everyone ready?" Massie asked. They all nodded.

"Oh yeah! I forgot something." Kristen said. "Afterwards we're going to my house to celebrate!"

"On a weekday? And actually going over?" the other girls exclaimed. Secretly, they didn't want to be seen at Brickview, but if it meant finally seeing Kristen's room, they were in.

"Done. Anyways, let's put the plan into action." Massie said. They strolled into the café in a straight line, and then went to their normal table. Massie slicked a coat of gloss over her lips, and then turned to Alicia. "You ready?" Massie asked.

"Yup." Alicia straightened her baby pink pleated skirt, then stood up and walked towards the table where Mandy was sitting at.

"Heyy Mandy!" she said.

"Um… hey." Mandy looked suspicious, but moved over and let Alicia sit down.

"So. I'm really sorry about how Massie's really mean to you. I'm having a party and I want you to come." Alicia handed her a fake invitation she had made the night before. "It's this Friday, so ask your dad if you can come."

Mandy squirmed in her seat as if she was looking at a big plate of worms on Fear Factor. Alicia continued. "My dad is soo nice, letting me have this party! Maybe you should ask your dad if you could have a party, too!" By now, a large crowd was looking at them, listening to every word.

"Um… I don't think I can do that." Mandy looked uncomfortable. Alicia almost felt bad for her. ALMOST.

"Why not?" Alicia faked sympathy. "Ehmagawd! I'm so sorry. I can't believe I forgot. Silly me." She let out a fake giggle. "I cannot believe that I forgot that your dad's in jail!" Mandy burst into tears and ran out of the room. The café was silent. Alicia smoothed down her hair and returned to the Pretty Committee's table.

"That was ah-mazing!" Massie gushed.

"Ohmygod. Can you say unbelievable?" Dylan raved.

"Better than any movie I've ever seen." Kristen said.

Claire stood, silent, at the scene before her. She couldn't even stop herself when she ran after Mandy. She just couldn't stand to see people cry.

"What's her problem?" Alicia asked.

"I don't know, but if she keeps this up, we'll know who she picked." Massie glared at the door.

The Block's Range Rover

The First Class Section

September 12th

4:00 p.m.

"Isaac, pull up here." Massie gestured with one perfectly manicured index finger towards the Brickview Apartments.

"No problem." Isaac replied.

The girls stepped out of the car. "Uh… I'm sorry. We're gonna have to walk a bit." Kristen said. She led the way, one building down.

"Uh… Kristen? I think you might be hallucinating. Is it really that hot today?" Massie looked at Kristen, concernedly. "The Brickview is right over there." She pointed from where they were walking from.

"I know." Kristen smiled mysteriously and led them into the Montador. "Welcome to my new home." The doorman held the door open for the girls, 3 of them were in shock. Kristen led the way to the elevator, to floor 4, to room 418, and into her new apartment.

The girls stood with their mouths hanging open, staring at the new apartment, then Kristen. "Explain." Massie said.

"My dad got his job back as an art dealer." The girls stared blankly at her. "I'm rich again!" The girls squealed and jumped up and down and congratulated Kristen.

"How long has this been going on for?" Dylan asked.

"Well, I only found out about it a couple of days ago." Kristen replied.

"Let me see your room!" Alicia screamed. The rest of the day was spent listening to music, dancing, watching TV and movies, eating junk food, and because of Kristen insisting, doing homework. The only thing that Massie had on her mind was Who would Claire choose?
