HOTZ ESTATE

CASSIE'S ROOM

4:50 PM, WENSDAY

"C'mon Cassie, you look fabulous!" Cassie Hotz's best friend, Paige Michele Fabian shouted. "Stop fussing around!"

Cassie did a twirl and looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a black shirt that had glitter all over and it flared out with a black and white polka dotted skirt. She didn't think she looked fabulous but, she was sure she'd be one of the only girls at Jeremy's party who looked pretty.

"Thanks." Cassie sighed, "I'm just, nervous for once, I mean I want Jeremy back and…"

Paige nodded, "Understandable."

"The girls should be coming soon." Cassie said, "And I really need to talk to Tiffany."

Cassie wasn't sure about Tiffany. There was just something about the girl she didn't trust. She feels like Tiffany is trying to have Jeremy all to herself…and the way he dumped her last night, she was sure that they would be together by the end of tonight.

"Miss Hotz, you have a guest." Her housekeeper said through the intercom. "She is on her way upstairs."

As if right on cue Cassie's bedroom door opened, and in came Nicole Ritz. "Hey girls." She said politely. "Cassie you look mag!"

"Thanks, you do too!" Cassie exclaimed.

Out of the girls that her and Paige picked to be in the new pretty committee, she liked Nicole the best. She was the nicest.

"Thanks." Nicole said. "Tiffany couldn't come…"

Cassie turned. "Why?"

Nicole shrugged. "Jeremy wanted her to come over early…"

"Oh." Cassie said, a little shocked that already one of the first parties the new pretty committee would appear at and one of the girls was ditching arriving together for Cassie's barely ex boyfriend.

"Sorry." Nicole said, "She told me to apologize to you. And that she'll see us at the party…" Nicole drifted off fiddling with her hair.

"It's fine." Cassie said with an attitude.

Cassie turned to her clock and noticed the party would start in forty minutes, and Allison still wasn't there.

"Where's your cousin?" Cassie asked Paige. "She was supposed to be here by now."

Paige shrugged. "Don't know. Want me to check online?"

Cassie nodded and Paige walked over to Cassie's computer.

"She's not on." Paige said, "I'll try calling her."

Paige picked up her phone and dialed her cousins number, there was no answer.

"Hmm…" Paige said. "Wonder where she's went?"

The girls shrugged and looked at each other.

"Well, I guess we should go…" Cassie said looking at her clock once again.

"Guess so." Paige said.

"Miss Hotz." The intercom in Cassie's room said. "Another guest is here for you."

"Tell her to stay there, we'll be down in a minute." Cassie said sharply.

"Alright, ma'am."

"Let's go." Cassie said grabbing her purse.

The girls walked down the hallway to the stairs, and did one last mirror check. They all looked super fashionable. They were ready to make their first entrance together.

"Hey sorry I'm late." Alison said as soon as the girls made it to the front door. "My mom wouldn't let me go when I originally started…then I spilt my water on my phone which is basically trashed now…"

Cassie smiled, "It's fine. At least you showed up, unlike some people."

Alison nodded.

"Let's go." Cassie said heading for the door. "We don't want to be too late now do we?"

"No." The girls said at the exact same time.

When the driver pulled up, the girls got into the car.

"So, where's Tiffany?" Alison asked.

"With Jeremy." Cassie said sadly.

Alison shook her head. "That's stupid."

Cassie shrugged like she didn't care and said. "No biggie I'm over him."

"Already?" Paige asked.

Cassie nodded her head. "Oh yeah, and in fact I am finding someone tonight."

Paige sighed, "Maybe I will too."

"I hope we all do." Cassie smiled. "And I hope Jeremy's alright with me coming to the party."

Out of honesty, Cassie didn't care if he wasn't happy about her coming to the party. She wasn't happy he dumped her for some new girl he doesn't even know. So what? He'll have to deal with it. Plus, she could make everyone at the party leave and he'll look like a total LBR.

"Nothing's a party without us." Paige reminded her, flashing her a smile.

"True." Cassie said.

That was the truth, even before the pretty committee nobody didn't invite Cassie and Paige. It was seriously not a party without those two.

"I wonder if Tyler will be there." Nicole said, naming her long time crush. "He's so cute."

"Wait, you like Tyler?" Cassie asked pretending not to be too interested.

Nicole nodded. "Yeah, his mom is my mom's best friend and I've liked him for the longest time, but it's sad cause we like, never talk."

Cassie didn't understand why, Nicole was pretty. Sure, she didn't really know her that well herself, and practically ignored her in middle school, but that's because she was compition. And Cassie Hotz SO didn't need comp.

"Make your move tonight." Cassie said sweetly. "I'm sure he'll like you."

Nicole shrugged, "Maybe I will."

Cassie laughed, "We should all find our self someone to date."

"I doubt anyone would date me." Paige said looking down.

"Liar!" Cassie shouted. "You know your, well, worshiped among the guys."

Paige shook her head. "Not as much as you."

"Or me." Alison said with a devious smile. "Just kidding."

"No but seriously." Cassie said, "That'll be our goal tonight. Find us some boy toys."

Cassie smiled to herself. That was the perfect way to make Jeremy jealous.

"Okay?" Cassie asked the three girls.

"Done." Paige said

"Done." Alison said smiling.

"And done." Nicole said sealing the deal.

Wow, we really do sound like the old pretty committee.

Cassie smiled to herself, this party, this school year was going to be ultra fab. She can feel it already. And soon enough, Jeremy will get sick to death of Little Miss Fake and come crawling back to her…

"Ladies, we're here." The driver said, getting out of the car.

The girls did some last minute prepping before stepping out of the car.

"Let's go!" Cassie squealed grabbing Paige and Nicole, letting Alison grab Paige.

They all entered the party like that.
