Drama. That's what Veronica's life has always been. From nasty comments to boyfriend stealing wars Veronica got drama to the third degree. Guilty as charged. Alex O'Connell, the super cute skater boy from Orange County California was definitely stirring up even more drama in Neptune. Something that Veronica could cut down on. From getting Logan's cold shoulder to hitting the hottest club in Neptune and meeting a cute skater boy Veronica's world was way off its axis. Is she suppose to be upset and devastated by Logan's cruel cold shoulder or is she suppose to be screaming her head off and scribbling Mrs. Alex O'Connell all over her spirals? Confusion and beauty does not mix. Well not in Veronica's world at least. Brains and looks is what Veronica praised herself for. From her quick tongue lashings to the hottest trends she was always on top of the world.

Veronica parked her metallic blue Porsche outside of the Mannings' driveway as the California sun beat down on the car giving it a shimmer, honking her horn Veronica watched Meg stumble out of the house metallic pink heels in one hand and a pink clutch in the other. Veronica looked like the definition of cool to Meg. With her sitting in a metallic blue Porsche with large Dior sunglasses propped onto her face, her blonde hair tied in a pony tail and sporting the latest Jimmy Choos with a cute BCBG outfit and sporting all of this nonchalantly? That was the ultimate degree of cool.

"Hey Meg read to hit the mall and shop till you drop?" Veronica asked as she opened the passenger door for Meg to get in.

"Obviously Veronica. What do you think?" Meg said as she slid into the black leather seat, smoothing her white mini down as she touched her make-up up in the side rearview mirror.

"Alright than. LET'S GET THIS PARTY ON THE ROAD!" Veronica yelled as she flipped the CD player on. Kelly Clarkson blared from the sound stereo as she drove away leaving neighbors gawking at the two girls.

"Alright before I hit the mall I like to plan out what stores I go to first. So we have about two hours to shop and find the perfect partying outfit for the Casablancas' end of the summer bash. So what stores do you want to hit first?"

"I'm not sure. I usually pick the clothing from my closet instead of shopping two hours before the party." Meg said as she stared at Veronica her eyebrows knit in worriment.

"Have no fair! For the fashion police is here!" Veronica said as she flashed Meg a million dollar smile erasing away any doubts of Meg's. The two girls chatted away about the stores they wanted to drop by at as they drove toward the mall.

Veronica slipped a Jimmy Choo clad foot out of the car as she slid off of the Italian leather seats. She had her purse in hand with her credit cards at disposal, ready to face the mall. The mall was where teens shopped, hung out with friends, checked out the latest trends and most importantly sized up the competition. They checked each other's outfits out looking for a fashion disaster. Meg stared nervously at all the watching eyes. Veronica strutted down the parking lot. She walked as if she was on a walkway in Milan sporting a new dress made by Ralph Lauren. Her Jimmy Choo wedges hit the gray pavement as she turned around at the entrance doors and bowed to the onlookers. This was all a regular day to Veronica while this all scared Meg to her wits end.

"How did you do that?!?"

"Do what?" Veronica asked as she slipped her sunglasses off and stared at Meg her blue-green eyes penetrating into her brown ones.

"You know. Walk down the parking lot without flinching! I was scared to death!" Veronica let out a small laugh as she patted Meg's arm.

"It's something you pick up when you live in Beverly Hills. Sizing the enemy up is one of the most important rules in being a teenage girl."

"They have rules?!?"

"No duh Meg. What have you been living in the past few years? A cave?"

"Sorry..." Meg mumbled as she buried her red face into her hands trying to hide herself.

"It's okay. Come on lets start to shop I want to hit some stores before our two hours are up!" Veronica said as she slapped Meg's ass jokingly and ran down the halls with Meg chasing after her. Oh the fun that being a teenager is.

Veronica scanned through the racks of dresses at a little boutique near the mall. She was looking for the right dress that would make a large splash for her when she would open the doors to the Casablancas' making her grand entrance into the house. She stopped as her hand took a gorgeous dress. Veronica's eyes traveled down the dress appraising the design and having her outfit formed in her mind. It would be perfect and most of all it would give her the advantage she needs over Lily. Her world may be tipped off its axis but Veronica was still in control wether anyone liked it or not. Life was anything but fair after all it is a dog eat dog world and she was the ruler of all dogs.
