HOTZ ESTATE

POOL DECK

4:30 PM

Tiffany and Nicole walked in with the house keeper and through the library to get to the pool deck. Nicole could hear three maybe four girls laughing and talking cheerfully.

"Miss Cassie, two more girls have arrived." The housekeeper said before leaving the two girls.

Tiffany stared at Cassie, trying to figure out what Jeremy sees in her. Sure, she's pretty but, Tiffany was way prettier.

"Hullo." Cassie said sliding her sunglasses down. "I'm Cassie."

Tiffany nodded. "I know. I'm Tiffany. Your boyfriends new neighbor."

"So I've heard." Cassie said snobbishly. "And you are?"

Nicole was surprised that Cassie didn't know her name. She was in magazines a lot due to her mothers fame.

Nicole smiled. "I'm Nicole."

"Oh, right. I thought you looked familiar." Cassie said.

Nicole thought that Cassie was awfully snobby, but she let it go. After all, if she was going to survive high school, she'd have to be in the pretty committee.

One of the other girls got up and went over. "Hi, I'm Michele." She giggled. "Well, Paige."

Tiffany nodded at her, and Nicole said. "Hi."

"I like your outfit, Nicole. And Tiffany your hair is ah-dorable!" Paige gushed.

Cassie came back over with the other girl. "This is Alison Vega, we've already welcomed her to the clique."

Tiffany had to admit, she was surprised that Cassie let Alison into the clique. She was pretty and all but her look was so over by now.

Nicole smiled brightly. "Hi, Alison."

The girl nodded and said, "Hullo." She opened her mouth pretty wide to reveal she had her tongue pierced.

"What's going on over there?" A male voice yelled from the yard next door.

Nicole turned to see a cute boy. He had to be at least eighteen years old.

Cassie rolled her eyes. "At Leesh's house again, Josh?"

Josh Hotz? No way…Nicole smiled at him.

"Yeah," He said. "Who are all these pretty girls?"

"Go away Josh. They're the new and improved pretty committee." Cassie said.

Josh rolled his eyes. "Massie's going to be PO if she find out your doing this."

Nicole thought to herself, she knew Massie of course, not just because she was popular, but through Dylan. But she didn't know that Massie hadn't okayed this with Cassie. This is getting confusing.

Cassie smiled and pulled her hair back. "Don't care. She's away at college, how's she going to know?"

Josh scratched his head. "Gee, maybe she's friends with people there. Me. Leesh."

"Her and Alicia aren't friends anymore. Massie thinks she's a total LBR." Cassie said confidently.

"Whatever little sis, play with fire if you want." He said and walked inside the house.

There was a long silence and then Tiffany broke the silence. "Ok, so, who's Massie."

"Yeah." Alison said. "I've never heard of her."

Cassie rolled her eyes. "That's because your both new to the town. She was the former leader of the pretty committee last year and stuff. She was the most popular girl in school."

"Yeah." Paige nodded. "And I hear she's pretty cool."

Nicole smiled. "Yeah she is but she can be a total BBR."

"BB what?" Tiffany asked.

"Bitch beyond repair." Nicole said.

"Oh."

"Well anyways, since no one else came…" Cassie said sweetly. "I guess you girls will have to do."

"EHMAGAWD!" Nicole jumped up.

"Right." Cassie said.

After the girls left, Cassie sat down on the couch in the living room with her ibook and checked her myspace. She had 700 friends now, boy did that make her happy. She quickly changed her top thing, Jeremy #1, Ellie #2, Paige Michele#3, Nicole#4, Tiffany #5 and just moved around everyone else.

She was about ready to IM Alison to ask if she had a myspace when another window opened up

Jeremy.

SoccerBoy1590: hey.

sexyHOTZcass: hi baby.

SoccerBoy1590: we need to talk.

sexyHOTZcass: about…?

Cassie could feel her heart beating super fast. This was so not a good start to a conversation. "We need to talk" Is like, feared.

SoccerBoy1590: I think we should take a break for a while…like, see other people. But not officially

EHMAGAWD. NO! WHY?

sexyHOTZcass: Fine.

SoccerBoy1590: it's just a break…I still love you.

sexyHOTZcass: right.

She exed out of the conversation quickly and IMD Paige.

sexyHOTZcass: EHMAGAWD. ;(

While she waited for Paige to answer she quickly went back to her myspace and deleted Jeremy out of her top friends, and moved everyone up one. She wished she could talk to Ellie, but she wasn't online. Ellie was her best friend, online.

Pdawg69: what?

sexyHOTZcass: JEREMY DUMPED ME :[

Pdawg69: oh..

sexyHOTZcass: Oh, what?

Pdawg69: well…idk if you wanna know…

Pdawg69: well, I'm pretty sure he might like Tiffany.

sexyHOTZcass: WHAT?!!?!

Tiffany? That new girl? One of the girls that she just had at her house and invited to join the pretty committee? What the heck!?

Cassie scrolled through her buddy list to find Tiffany, and IMD her. Luckily she was online.

sexyHOTZcass: hey!

She tried to make herself sound perky.

theORIGINALitgrl: hi, cass.

sexyHOTZcass: whats the deal with you and Jeremy?

theORIGINALitgrl: oh, nothing.

NikkiRitz4: b there.

Pdawg69: I'll tell Allie.

sexyHOTZcass: ok good.

As soon as Cassie exed out of the chat room, she heard a ding and saw that her conversation with Tiffany was blinking.

theORIGINALitgrl: cassie, Jeremy likes me. He just imd me.

sexyHOTZcass: we broke up.

theORIGINALitgrl: well…he asked me to be his date for his party.

Saved it, and she was done.

She went up to her room, and decided to go to sleep. If she could sleep, that is. Because tomorrow, weather Jeremy liked it or not, she was going to his party. And she was going to flirt ridiculously with the boys.
