Mallory

On the way to school Mallory met her friends Stacey and Cici at the end of her Beverly Hills Mansion drive way and hopped in the baby blue convertible that belonged to her friend Cici. Mallory also known as Mal has a very rich family. She also has a brother in Harvard and a younger sister that is in sixth grade. For a living her father is an orthopedic surgeon and her mother is just you know one of those ordinary housewives. She is not, let’s just say the brightest child in her family. Every teacher she has had that knew her older brother remembered how smart he was, and expected her to be the same. Well to their surprise her younger sister was close to being smarter than she is. It might help her get smarter if she would actually listen in class and do her assignments instead of thinking about boys and shopping all day. As they were driving to go and pick up one more person who would be one her they’re best friends Amber, she is like totally opposite of everyone else though. Unlike her friends Amber is very athletic doesn’t mind sweating a little bit and is not so boy crazy like her friends. I guess you could say she is a bit brighter to, but what can I say opposites attract. Mallory was sitting up in the wind letting her golden brown hair glisten in the sunlight. Her makeup was done so perfectly that her lips sparkled, with her purple eye shadow and, her bright blue eyeliner that could be seen miles away. To add to that she has hazel eyes that are oval shaped, rosy decided to wear her white spaghetti strap shirt, her skirt, (she had to look good for Brad) a black sweater and lastly her black flip-flops. (You have to remember that she is so in the fashion.) On her fingers she was wearing a thumb ring on her left hand and, always had an extra hair tie on her left wrist. Her right hand was bare with no jewelry and around her neck she wore a chain that had three little rings on it.

"So like we are like going to the mall like after school right?" asked Mallory while they waited for Amber to come out of her house.

" Like duh, isn’t that were we go like everyday?" responded Cici.

" I like totally need a new outfit to wear for tomorrow I have worn all of my outfits one time already this year, you know how much that would ruin our reputations if we were caught wearing the same outfit twice in one year!" answers Stacey.

Finally Amber comes down the drive way just like Mal does every morning. All of the four friends come from very rich families so half of the school including their teachers thinks they are just the biggest richest snobs in the school.

" I can not wait to get to school so I can see Brad, he is totally drop dead gorgeous!" says Mal as everyone in the car agrees with her even Amber and she is not boy crazy like I said before.

As they get out of the car and walk up the stairs, they see him, Brad. Mal runs over to him and immediately starts flirting with him, but I guess it is ok, because he does like her and all and she likes him!

Unfortunalty they had to go to class and the friends split up, all except for Mal and Amber, they were in all of the same classes.

" Oh, history is my worst subject ever, and of course Mr. Johnson has to pick me of all people to be paired up with Summer Sullivan. My worst enemy in the world. I mean look at her you can tell by just looking in her eyes that she has never liked me just because in last year we got in a fight over a guy you thought she would have forgot about that by now. "

" Don’t worry she is just jealous that you are richer than her, like oh my gosh!" responds Amber.

" Thanx." Says Mal.

Well, as you probably noticed Mal’s vocabulary is not the most proper.

" Well class are we ready to start?" Asks Mr. Johnson, he continues, "Today we are going to finish working on our partner reports about famous explorers around the globe."

" Hi Summer, so did you type up the report, like you were supposed to?" asks Mal.

"Well it would help if you would do some of the work to you know!" says Summer.

Mal is obviously the class sponge, you think she would be caught dead doing her homework.

"It so happens that I had to go and find a totally rad outfit for the dance coming up, hello." Mal argues.

" Fine, ok we are never going to get this done and I for one thing want to get a good grade, unlike someone I know." Summer argues back.

" Ok, yeah whatever," she says. Why did Mr. Johnson pair me up with her?

As these two " friends," work on their project together, they are just trying to waist time. The bell finally rings.

" Thank you, I get to get way from you! Like oh my gosh my life is saved by the bell."

As the day goes on and on Mallory gets more homework and in a crabby mood. Finally the last period, Mallory thinks to herself. As she is walking through the hallways to Science class everyone starts looking at her and some people say hi and the other people just turn their heads around like they are to cool to talk to her. While all this is happening she sees Summer, of course that is exactly how she wants to spend the last period of the day.

" Do you have a staring problem Summer?" asks Mallory.

" Sorry I don’t talk to rich snobs that think they are better than everyone else," Summer replies.

Ok, Mallory just keep walking and don’t let her get to you, is what I kept telling myself.

Finally, seated in science Mallory just zones out and think about afterwards how she gets to go and get her mind off school and go shopping, her favorite thing.

Ok, luckily just 5 minutes left, this is taking forever, 4, 3,2,1 yes! School is out! Amber come on let’s go and gather the gang and hit the road.

So they hop back into the baby blue convertible and cruise off down the road to their paradise.
