Sitting in the back of her cab, Fiona finally had a moment to think. Today had been wild; not only had she managed to become friends with the two most popular girls in school, she was also hosting a party for them. She grinned at her successful progress, unable to contain the excitement any longer. She had already made some phone calls to the caterer and disc jockey, and everything was falling into place nicely.
Well, everything except one small hitch in her plan. She knew that Katie and Marisol wouldn't exactly be thrilled when she told them that she had invited Imogen, but she didn't really plan on inviting her in the first place.
When Eli pushed the invite onto Fiona, she almost said no, but one look at Imogen's face stopped her in her tracks. The girl sort of reminded her of herself. On the outside she just seemed slightly odd, dressed in her Degrassi blue with tights, but on the inside, Fiona could see the dejection still lingering on her face from earlier that morning. How could she deny the girl twice?
Luckily, Fiona had a plan; Imogen would come over early so that Fiona could help the girl tone her look down. Hopefully she could show her some easy ways to interact with the popular girls as well. She knew this plan would work; it had to.
Imogen spun around in front of her mirror, modeling the completed dress. The layers of pink, green and yellow lace danced around her dark tights as she finished. The simple fact that Fiona Coyne had invited her to her gala had pushed Imogen to finish the dress that evening. Imogen felt the rush of being invited to something as intimate as her get together exhilarating. She had been dying to become closer to Fiona since the play had finished last year. She wasn't sure what drew her toward Fiona; something about the way she acted so confident during the play sent Imogen's mind spinning. She picked up the last piece of her outfit, a lace bow that matched her tutu, and clipped it into her hair.
