Spoiler! :
It was the last day of summer vacation and Kendall Fisher was heading off to high school the next day. Freshman year, the year no one looks forward too. And the last place she wanted to be before her first day was at her father's country club.
He was hosting some party for his rich friends and Kendall hadn't been invited in. But she wanted to be in there so bad. She had never actually been to one of her father's parties before and wanted to at least attend one of them. She had begged and pleaded, promised to clean the house (something the Fishers never did themselves), offered to make him dinner; but it was all to no avail. She was still not allowed in the party.
Kendall's father had promised that she and her friends could use the pool and anything outside the club's main building. Right, because that would be way more fun than being at the fancy party.
She took another look at the people in the party and sighed. She jumped into the club's pool sending water splashing everywhere. She heard a squeal as she resurfaced and turned to see her best friend drenched. She giggled and recieved a glare.
"I was sleeping!"
"Sorry Lizz. My cannonballs are deadly!" Kendall yelled from the pool. Lizz stuck out her tongue and rang out her towel. The water splattered as it hit the ground, leaving spots on the otherwise dry pool deck.
Lizz was a creative person, always painting. Her long blond hair was almost always up in a bun, a bandana holding it together, and her hands were calloused. Her favorite color to paint with was green, like her eyes. Lizz was going to attend Keys High School with Kendall. They were both super excited when they realized they were in the same classes together. The only classes they had different were Lizz's art classes. Kendall had a free period while Lizz was at art.
"So what are we gonna do now?" Aeisha asked from her spot on a lawn chair. She was Kendall's other best friend and by far the prettiest of them all. Her black curls flowed down to the middle of her back. Her skin was always perfectly tan and her eyes were the color of the ocean. Kendall was secretly jealous of her best friend. Her short, frizzy brown hair could never compare to Aeisha's hair. Not to mention Kendall had the most boring color eyes: brown. And her skin was anything but tan.
"Well?" Aeisha prompted, looking up from the script she was studying. She was a theater kid. Her father was a famous broadway star and she had always tagged along to his shows. By the time she was thirteen she had already starred in two shows. But she was ready for a lead role and she had been practicing all summer. She was going to audition for the musical Annie, wanting the role of Annie.
"Let's see. We've done everything anyone could possibly do at a country club," Kendall said as she floated on her back, gazing up at the stars. "But we have yet to go into that party and it's nearly over." She flipped off of her back and tred water so she could see her friends' reactions. Aeisha was grinning, but Lizz had a look of disbelief on her face.
"Are you crazy? If your dad finds out you'll be grounded forever!"
"Well we better not get caught then." Aeisha said. She stood up and grabbed her bag, stuffing the script into it. Kendall nodded and climbed out of the pool.
"As long as my father doesn't know, we'll be okay. I don't understand why he doesn't want me at these parties anyway. He always says something about keeping me out of the 'rich scene'. But aren't I already a part of it?" Kendall explained.
"We all are." Aeisha added.
Lizz raised a hand in the air. "Not me. My dad's a school teacher."
"Yes, but your mamma has her own band."
"Doesn't mean she makes a lot of money!" Lizz retorted. "Both your parents make loads of money, Aeisha. And once you get this part, you'll be earning money too."
"Look, you're making a lot out of nothing. I was just trying to say--"
"Alright, enough," Kendall yelled. "I hate it when you two fight."
"She started it," Lizz mumbled. Kendall glared at her.
"Look, we are going into the party and we're gonna have a good time," Kendall pulled out a cell phone from her pocket. "I'll just text the limo driver and get him to take us to the mall."
"Why the mall?" Lizz asked.
"You wanna be seen wearing your bathing suit?" Kendall questioned. "No, we're gonna get real outifts."
When the limo arrived, Kendall, Lizz and Aeisha all piled in. They road to the mall (all ten minutes that it took) and climed out of the limo to the astonished faces of shoppers. They grinned from ear to ear and walked in.
"What time is it?" Kendall asked. Aeisha showed her her watch and Kendall began to walk faster. "If you all wanna get to that party before it's over, we better hurry up. We only tog an hour."
They entered their favorite store called Le Printemps, the French word for spring. The store was filled with lovely gowns and fancy dresses and everyday clothes as well. When the girls finally made their purchases, they piled back into the limo.
Lizz had bought a short spaghetti strap green dress, a blue flower sticking out from the hip. Aeisha had gone more glamarous. Her red velvet gown scraped the floor and had sequenced straps. Kendall's dress was a strapless deep blue beauty. It was short like Lizz's.
The girls were ready for their big entrance. They could only imagine who they would meet at the party.
