THE HOTZ ESTATE.

CASSANDRA'S ROOM.

Monday, August 23rd

8:30 p.m

Cassandra Hotz and her best friend, Michele Fabian, were laying on Cassie's bed, upside down. "Ehmagod! I can't believe we start high school in three days!"

Cassie sat up suddenly feeling woozy from blood rushing to her head. She agreed with Michele, it was unbelievable that they were going to no longer be little junior high girls, they were going to finally be high school women. "I know! It's going to be so awesome, I totally can't wait to start!"

Cassie looked down to see her palm pilot. Ever since she met Massie Block and The Pretty Committee, she wanted to be just like them, and start her own clique. And at the end of her junior high graduation, Cassie's father got her a palm pilot, exactly like Massie's.

She pulled out to start typing her "in / out list" when Michele interrupted her thoughts. "I can't believe we won't get to be friends with Massie, I mean, how lame is that!"

Cassie rolled her eyes at her friend, "Well, Michele, it just so happens it's not as bad as we originally thought."

Michele sat up quickly. "What do you mean?"

Cassie thought to herself. What exactly did she mean? She wanted to start a new clique, like the pretty committee, but she didn't know how to explain it to her friend. They were already popular, but that was back in junior high. Her older brother, Josh, said that it was much harder to stay on top in high school, but, that somehow TPC had managed to do so.

She knew it was a good idea to start a clique up, after all, she did have the looks, and so did her best friend. But who else? Sure, there were a lot of girls back at OCD that had been gorgeous like her and Michele but, they all weren't going to start at the same high school. So how was she supposed to pick her Pretty Committee?

"Well…I was thinking." Cassie started while twirling her pretty newly bleached blonde hair. "That we should start up the pretty committee, like how Massie did?"

Cassie waited for Michele to reply. As she waited she studied Michele. Yeah, she had the look for the Pretty Committee. Like Cassie, she was skinny, yet she had curves in the right spots. She was tall—much taller then Cassie. She was only 5'2 while Michele was 5'8. She was pretty enough to be a model. She had Black thick hair that was shoulder length, that was super wavy.

"I guess we could try, I mean, I don't think Massie would like it." Michele said starring down at her new gold stilettos. "But, it would be a great way for us to be known as someone other then freshman."

Cassie's stomach began to ache at the thought of Massie finding out she was basically copying off of her. But, I mean, it's not like Massie is here anymore, right? And what would it matter if there was a new pretty committee? The old one is gone off to college.

"Your right." Cassie said standing up and walking over to her window. "Massie probably wouldn't like it, but, she isn't here to stop us."

Michele looked uneasy. "I guess your right."

Cassie nodded and turned her computer screen on to see she had five new IM's. From nobodies, no less. Her admirers. She quickly glanced at them and signed off.

"So." Cassie started. "In honor of the new Pretty Committee, I think we should go shopping tomorrow, for a new selection of clothes for high school, after all, we have to look hot!"

Michele nodded. "Good idea. Lucky for us, I have Dad's credit card with me, and his permission to get clothes for the school year."

Cassie walked to her closet and started tossing last seasons styles out. They just wouldn't do for the new year. When she was done she grabbed a box she had in her room and tossed the things in there. Goodwill just got lucky!

She went back to her closet, and walked through it one more time to see if there was anything she missed. It was practically empty, but she had an unlimited credit card, so it was all good. It'd be filled tomorrow night anyways!

"Wow." Michele whistled. "There's, like, nothing in there now."

Cassie laughed. "I know."

She heard Michele yawn and told her to go ahead and go to the guest room and get some sleep, they had a long day ahead of them tomorrow anyways.

She quickly grabbed her D&G razor phone out of her pink and white Dooney and Bourke purse, and IMD her boyfriend, Jeremy. Jeremy and Cassie began dating last year, when she was at OCD and he was at Briarwood. Every girl was jealous of them dating, and she knew it. Not that she blamed the girls, I mean, he's GORGEOUS.

SexyHOTZcass: hey…whatcha doin?

SoccerBoy1590: nothing much. You?

SexyHOTZcass: just chilling…Michele just fell asleep so I thought I'd talk to you, baby.

SoccerBoy1590: haha, I see…

SexyHOTZcass: you wanna hit the mall with us tmr?

While she waited for him to reply she grabbed her Palm Pilot and began typing her "in / out " list for the second time tonight.

IN:

The new pretty committee

Kitten heeled shoes

OUT:

The old pretty committee

UGG boots

She closed it, and hoped it would be sent to everyone who reads it, and checked her phone to see if she had any new IM's.

SoccerBoy1590: cant.

WHAT? It was one of the last few days of their summer, and they barely spent any time together…and when the school year starts she'll have the pretty committee which means less time with him.

SexyHOTZcass: why?

SoccerBoy1590: I have soccer practice.

SexyHOTZcass: oh…

SoccerBoy1590: sorry babe.

SoccerBoy1590: I should go, I'll ttyl.

SoccerBoy1590 has signed off.

"Ugh!" Cassie whispered to herself, then yawned.

She was getting extremely tired, so she might as well go to sleep, since Michele wasn't awake and Jeremy logged off. She walked over to her bed and pulled her sheets back realizing she still had to change into her pajamas.

She walked into her closet and grabbed a pair of her favorite hot pink Juicy Couture sweat shorts, and her Victoria's Secret pink hoodie, and put those on. She turned to look at her clock, it was 10:44 already? She really needed to get some sleep.

She climbed into bed, and out of nowhere she had a brilliant idea for the new PC. She jumped out of bed, and logged onto her account, and posted a bulliten.

TITLE: hey beautifuls, read if you love me!

Hey everyone, Cassie here! Anyone want to join the new PC. That's right, the new and improved pretty committee! You must remember them, the notorious girls who started it all, well they graduated, and I say it's time for us new girls to rein as the fabulous ones everyone wants to be and adores! Message me, and we'll have a meeting at my house, and I'll pick you out!

LOVE YOU!,

CASSIE, xoxoxo

Quickly she blocked the bulliten from showing up on Massie, Dylan, Alicia, Claire and Kristen's myspace, so they wouldn't bitch at her. And signed off.

She once again, for the third time, climbed into bed, and this time, fell asleep rather quickly.
