The Café, 12:27 P.M, Friday, January 17th
"Look, calm down, Mass," Alicia soothed the angry brunette, "it's been two days and you're still obsessing over that pile of last year's Louis. They are just a few LBRs who want to mess with us, and it won't work, okay with you guys?" The other three, minus Massie, nodded vehemently, offering the purple-clothed princess her cream-colored cashmere sweater, a cup of strawberry frozen yogurt, and her charm bracelet, the last having slipped off her thin arm and onto her sushi.
"Look at them!" cried Dylan, pointing to the girls that had dubbed them 'official AOB material.' "The only place they deserve to be right now is in the Salvation Army's second hand junk pile."
"Be careful, Dylan," Alicia joked, pointing at Layne Abeley, who had sat down with her latest obsession, a bag of artificially-sweetened sugared violets. "We don't want Layne to pick any of them up by accident!"
Kristen let out her now infamous raspy, phlegm-filled cackle. All at Table 18 remained quiet for a few moments. Dylan, sensing tension, sucked down her kiwi smoothie. Claire had never spoken up at all, but she uncomfortably poked her apple and carrot crudités with all-natural honey dip. Alicia had insisted she order it and at least try to digest one. Speaking of the still-dubbed Fannish beauty, she was stabbing a few lettuce leaves from what remained of her make-your-own Caesar salad with gluten-free croutons. She nervously chewed as Kristen retied her hair into a ponytail.
At Table 15, by the exit, Doe snickered. "I have an ahb-solutely fantabulous plan on how to lure one of them to our side. I really don't wanna seem like I am Chris Abeley, but I have a plan anyway…"
The Guesthouse, The Rosebushes, 4:56 P.M, Saturday, January 19th
"Doe, I beg you to puh-lease remind me," Audrina paused to sit down on the stone flooring, "why are the three of us sitting on the stone bottom of the patio? I mean, I know you came up with it, I'm the alpha, and Ash over there had immense hearing three minutes ago when she wasn't listening to her iPod, but what gives?"
Doe rolled her eyes, adjusting the silver fedora that had settled on her head. "Okay, let's start with our ah-mazing clothing choices. I'm wearing a silver hat, silver Jimmy Choo flip-flops, faded black jeans, and a gray sailor jacket over a lacy lavender tee, and a matching silver Swarovski clutch. My accessories include clusters of diamonds around an amethyst for earrings, my Tiffany charm bracelet, and a fantabulous silver locket with…a picture." Her voice faltered at the end, and Audrina knew instantly what that meant. Doe was most likely wearing the antique silver locket, the only memoir of her deceased mother that had been left to her.
Ash had unplugged the silver iPod from her ears with a pair of raised eyebrows at the end, but decided to continue for the reason why. "I'm wearing slouchy gray leg warmers over white tights, black All-Star Converse, a cream-colored cashmere sweater, and a white mini. My makeup and accessories are the silver Milk Candy Glossip Girl, silver glitter, a trademark Louis, and my charm bracelet."
"The ahb-solutely ah-mazing Audrina is wearing her favorite Stella McCartney stiletto boots, a gorgeous white striped scarf for a belt, a long satin skirt, and a cute BCBG crop-top over my pink Juicy tee. I'm wearing Coconut Cream Glossip Girl, a French manicure, of course, my charm bracelet, and a silver chain necklace." Audrina finally declared as soon as she swiped her lips with the tropical gloss. "Now can you puh-lease tell us the next step?"
"Alright, what we do is, you two hide in the bushes while I use your boot to poke the future captive's bell and drop the note and candy. Try to record what she does, and figure out what happens. If we can, we could get Todd to do something for us."
"Get me to do what for you?" the trio spun to spot the boy himself, grinning impishly at the girls.
"Alright, Todd, I'll make you a deal. Give this note to Claire, food attached and untouched. In return, I'll give you a kiss on the cheek, and a bag of gummy sours. Deal?" Audrina said abruptly.
"I'm used to Massie making deals. I think I might turn it down," he stared at her.
"Fine then," Ashlyn sighed as she stowed her iPod in her bag. "All three of us will; keeping it short and sweet, with a secret sneaked from Massie."
"Done." Todd reached out towards Doe. The blonde slapped a piece of stationary paper, a bag of gummy worms, and Ash tossed the gummy sours towards the redhead.
Doe slipped her charm bracelet into her clutch and handed it to Ash, who stuffed it into her own oversized Louis Vuitton. "Take good care of my charm bracelet if I seriously don't make it! I'll miss you, Bob," she sniffed quietly as she pet the clutch.
The other three looked ready to crack up, but it was Todd who broke the silence by pulling Doe behind him as she hid, blending in with part of the stone guesthouse and its white door. He opened it with his key, and the taller girl slipped behind him easily.
As soon as the door closed with a slam, Audrina and Ash shrunk back into the bushes, trying to keep from the thorns. "And now we wait," sighed Audrina as she pulled a miniature silver pen from her pocket.
