Chapter 2A

"God, what happened to you?" Mackenzie asked as she met me in the hall after 3rd period for lunch.
I hadn't had any time to put makeup on that morning, barely enough to brush my hair. I'd slept in an hour late after a long night of thinking about my problems.
"Shut up, Mackenzie." I gave her an angry glare before checking myself out in my mirror-necklace from Swarovski. A gift for my half birthday, it glimmered in the fluorescent hallway lights. It was totally gorgeous and useful too.
I did look pretty awful. Like a zombie. Ew.


Mackenzie lifted her arms in surrender, showing off her solid gold watch as she did so. I was jealous of that watch, and I would have asked Daddy for it for my birthday, but he said it was sold out.
As soon as we set our stuff down in the cafeteria, I went to the restroom and worked on my make-up.
As soon as I returned, Layla handed me something. Some flyer about the Elite Party.

The party for just populars. Duh, I was going. I shoved it into my purse and smile as the bell rang.

As soon as the day ended, I raced home and put on my heels. It was already getting dark outside when I got to the door after redoing my makeup. I had to buy some sort of gift for mystery guy. It had to be expensive, tasteful, and something he would like.
