Wait…What?

I awoke to the sound of my alarm clock beeping way louder then normal, rubbing my eyes I knocked it off the side table and rolled over. It was Sunday, all the girls had probably left for breakfast and left me to sleep.  I heaved a sigh and pushed my self up, I skipped to the bathroom to start my shower.

20 minutes later I was walking through the courtyard, my hair in a long fishtail braid, with only mascara and lip gloss on. I had on a a white collared tank top, and bright pink shorts, with tan gladiator sandals. I settled under a large tree, and sat down on the green grass. Pulling out the surprisingly heavy book, that had Pride And Prejudice printed on the front. As I began to flip through the pages, I noticed Rory sit down next to me.

Closing the book, I looked up, “So what brings you here?” I asked. “We haven’t had any STARS meetings or bonding time since Spring Break, so I’m officially inviting you to our sleepover meeting at 9:00 tonight, when Poppy will promptly be thrown out of the room.” She stated, a devilish grin upon her face. I giggled at the thought of Rory throwing Poppy out of the dorm, “I’ll be there.”

I sat with my legs crossed, on my orange sleeping bag, in the living room of our dorm suites. “PLL marathon, or Kardashians?” Taylor asked, while flipping through the channels. Instantly jumping up, I screamed,”Kardashians!” I snatched the remote from Taylor, and clicking on  the option before she could change it. The girls just laughed while shaking their heads, they all think I’m obsessed with Keeping Up With The Kardashians. That was SO not the case, I’m just a dedicated fan. That’s all. (;

Suddenly a loud beeping noise came from the tv, at first I was extremely mad because it cut into my Kardashian time, but then I read the message.

“BDA is closing?” Rory gasped.

My heart sunk, and I felt my hands begin to shake, this can’t be happening

Hey girls, so quick update!

Have a great day!

Alpha Files Round 5.

Hey Girls,

I’m in the final three! Oh my gosh, I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am! Anyways, this post is going to be in story form, but in the point of view of Massie and the Pretty Committee. Instead of starting up the post myself, MKX has given us all a few pre-written paragraphs to go off of.

So here we go:

Five beautiful girls were scattered around Massie’s bedroom.  Massie was putting her finishing touch on her outfit: her charm bracelet, Alicia was busy staring at her reflection in the mirror, and everyone else was eyeing Massie to see when she would talk.  None of them knew what she would say next.  She was in mental shock after hearing her parents tell her that Isaac was off-limits to her for the next week.  All Massie told them was that they needed to have their hair and makeup done, and cute outfits that were perfect 10’s.  None of them had any idea why.

 “Massie… where are we going and what are we doing? We have no way of getting anywhere without Isaac and no one else’s drivers can take us anywhere… spill!”  Claire finally pushed her to say something.

 “Let’s go girls! We have somewhere very important to be.  Trust me, it’ll be fun and worth going to” Massie replied, smirking.  So the five of them hurried down the stairs and out the door.

The Pretty Committee looked around the empty driveway puzzled, they turned to Massie who was frantically typing away on her cell phone. Dylan shot a look at Alicia, all the girls were confused as to why Massie hadn’t filled her beta in on the plan. Suddenly a grey Honda Pilot pulled into the drive way, after it stopped a very well dressed Landon stepped out of the car. “Your late!” Massie snapped at him, while she motioned for the other girls to get in the car. “Sorry, but my mom wouldn’t let me take the Camero, and I had to take Bark for a walk before I left.” He said, opening the passenger door for her.

Massie apologized for the rude attitude, and took a seat in the car. As Landon pulled out of the drive way, she turned around and began to explain what exactly was happening. “So you guys know that my parents have stripped me of my transportation privileges, right?” She asked, all the girls nodded. “Well what I didn’t tell you was why,” she took a deep breath and began to speak.

“The other day when we received our report cards, I gave mine to my parents without even checking, because obviously I always make straight A’s. Then about 20 minutes later they called me downstairs and started to yell at me about my grades, apparently it said I was failing every subject!” The Pretty Committee gasped, and leaned closer to hear the rest of the story. “Now I know it’s not possible for my averages to be that low, but that’s when it hit me. Someone hacked into the school system and changed my grades, so we are going up to the school tonight to find out who.”

Claire cut Massie off, “wait if we are just going to the school, why are we dressed in formal gowns?” Massie shot her a don’t-interrupt-me-again look, and then went in to detail. “Tonight’s the eighth grade dance formal that they hold every year at the high school, we have to blend in in case some one catches us.” Alicia piped up next, “well why didn’t you just try explaining it to your parents that it must be a mistake?” she asked. Massie rolled her eyes, “um earth to Leesh you think if they believed me that we would be here right now?”

“How do you know someone did this on purpose?” Dylan pressed. “Because I’m running for head cheerleader, duh! Every varsity cheerleader is after me ever since they saw my tumbling routine the other day at school.” Once all of the Pretty Committee understood the operation, they anxiously awaited Landon’s ok to enter the school. He had slipped in through the front entrance pretending to be a Briarwood student, and was going to open up the back doors for the PC.

Fifteen minutes later the girls walked down the halls, trying to find the security room. When they finally found the room Massie grabbed the door knob to open it, but quickly closed it when she noticed three older men inside. She looked back at the PC, and bit her lip. “There’s no way in,” she sighed, “One of us are going to have to cause a scene.” Claire jumped up, “I’ll do it, it’s time I start being more daring.” Alicia and Dylan jumped up as well, Dylan gave out a quick burp then said, “We’ll help too, besides the only person smart enough to crack the school security codes is Kristen, so she’ll have to stay.”

“Ok, what are you guys going to do?” Massie asked. The three girls looked at each other and smiled, “You’ll see.” Next thing you know Alicia, Claire, and Dylan started running down the halls in different directions, Dylan pulled the Fire Alarm and then they all started screaming, “Fire, fire, grab your Fendi’s girls there’s a fire!” Massie and Kristen doubled over laughing when suddenly the door to the security room flew open, and the three men came running out.

Both of the girls sped for the room, they closed the door then locked it and turned to the computers. Kristen sat down and started typing in the password, she failed the first three times, but finally got it on the fourth. “We’re in,” she said smirking. She pulled up the video records from last week, they only had a limited amount of time before the school figured out that there really wasn’t a fire, and before the rest of the PC get caught.

Kristen and Massie went through all of the videos, and then came across one with a suspicious person wearing a ski mask, and walking the halls around 10 PM, the night before the report cards were passed out. The person walked into the computer lab, Kristen fast-forwarded the tape about and hour and the suspect emerged with their mask off.

“Eh-ma-gawd,” Kristen breathed, she looked up at Massie. “It’s Derrington, the person who changed your grades was Derrington!” Massie’s plum colored lips had settled into a frown as she glared at the frozen image of Derrington, but instead of feeling rage, all she could feel was pain. A person she had trusted, cared for, who had been her technical first kiss, was out to get her.

She just couldn’t understand why.

Hope you all liked the story, it took me a while to come up with!

Birthday Bliss

“RACHEL!” I turned to see a familiar butter blonde head pop up from the other side of baggage claim, I smiled and ran  towards her scooping her up into a hug. “Ava you silly thing, I though you guys were going to meet me at home.” She looked up and just shrugged, “Dad insisted that we send a car up to get you, since it’s your birthday and all” She replied. Laughing I gave my younger sister another, hug then quickly grabbed my bags.

I walked over to the STARS, to tell them I would be heading home now. We said our goodbyes for the day, but we would probably see each other again later. I grabbed Taylor’s arm and pulled her aside, “15 today!” I squealed. We both jumped up and down for a little bit, today was also her birthday, and coincidentally it was on a Holiday. Like all the STARS’s birthdays are. After that I headed home to spend the day with my family.

Stepping through the front door, I breathed in the calming scent of home. The coconut lime candles my mom has lit across the house, the sound of the living room TV playing a random cooking show, but most importantly seeing my father seated at the breakfast table reading a news paper and my mother cooking up some pancakes. Everything about it made me happy, just the familiarization of the being home. My dad looked up from his news paper, a smile spread across his lips. “My little Rach cake!” He yelled getting up and pulling me into a bear hug, my mom dropped the pan and came to join in. My dad stepped back and motioned toward the couch, “Someone stopped by to see you too.”

Zac stood up and grinned his cocky grin, I ran towards him and jumped into his arms. He pulled me into a tight hug, but then quickly released remembering my parents were in the room. “Happy birthday, Rach.” He said pulling something out from behind his back. It was a small Tiffany’s box, I unwrapped it to find a beautiful necklace with a four leaf clover pendant, that had emeralds on it. “It’s gorgeous, Zac thank you so much,” I squealed.

My parents then gave me my birthday gifts, they had gotten me some new shoes (That my mom picked out, obviously) things for my bedroom at BDA, and gift cards. After they had handed me everything my dad motioned for me to follow him towards the garage. I cautiously followed, I never really go into the garage only because I find it dirty, and well I don’t care for cars. As he opened the door I fixed my eyes on the silver vehicle, that I most definitely didn’t remember my parents purchasing. “Since you don’t have your license yet, your going to have to drive around with an adult until you do,” He said handing me the keys. I was speechless  I looked closer to see that the car was in fact a Mercedes Benz. “T-thank you,” I managed to say, I couldn’t really think because the only thing on my mind was where do you buy cute car accessories?

I walked up the steps of the Prix country club, I was dressed in my favorite gold sundress, and nude wedges. I was meeting Serena and  Taylor for lunch at the club and then maybe some shopping after, I spotted Taylor waiting at the top of the steps checking her phone. “Hey Tay, where’s Serena?” I asked when I got closer. “I don’t know she told us to meet her here, just then Serena came running up the stair. “Hey girls, sorry I’m late but I just remembered that I left my purse in the ball room, will you guys come with me to get it?” We nodded and followed her through the hallways and to the doors of the ball room, to our surprise all the lights were turned off.

Suddenly all the lights turned on, and the loud ring of the word “Surprise” rang through my ears. I looked around the room, that was decorated with gold drapes and green accents. Taylor and I looked at each other, and just began to laugh. Our friends had truly tricked us, I spotted Sadie and Rory walking up to Serena. “You guys are the best!” I yelled throwing my arms around them, Taylor did the same. I surveyed the room spying Zac in the corner, he smiled and started walking towards me.

“Time to show me those Tango moves, Woodlands,” He said nodding towards the dance floor, and lacing his fingers through mine. He pulled me onto the dance floor, and spun me around a few times then pulled me to face him. I giggled a little, and swayed along with him resting my head on his shoulder. I couldn’t believe how blessed I was to have such an amazing family, group of friends, and boyfriend.

Alpha Files Round 4 (OOC)

What inspired you to create a WordPress blog?

I have always loved the Clique series, and when I was randomly searching up things about Massie Block, I came across this whole Role Player’s community on WordPress  Blogging as a different person sounded amazing, as if I could step out of my life and be somebody else for a while. That’s why I chose to blog as Alicia Rivera in the beginning  because I wanted a life similar to mine, but just tad more glamours.

What will you bring to The Alpha Files, that the other girls may not be able to offer?

First off, A wide range of dance knowledge. So I would be incredibly helpful in the health, fitness, and diet department. I’m also very interested in makeup, it’s one of my many passions. I love making new eye looks, finding new products, and reviewing them for people  I’m also from a family of all girls, so if you need advice on absolutely anything, I’m most definitely the one to go to. Other then that, the only other thing I’m  involved in is FFA, where you raise animals or compete at completions for a lot of different things, so I think I would have a one up on a few people who don’t exactly have that background.

Why would you like to be my partner?

Absolutely! Your a great blogger who is very popular in the WordPress community, and I enjoy all of your posts. I think you sound quite passionate about fashion, and beauty. Being featured on a blog with many views would help a lot with getting my own personal blogs noticed, and If I chose to do something in the Fashion industry this blog might help.

Tell me about yourself. Talk about anything you’d like to do with YOU. Your personality, your interests/hobbies, your dislikes, your likes, your favorite things, etc.

I personally think I’m a very nice person, I truly try my best to look for the good in everyone, even if they don’t deserve it. My entire life revolves around dance, I love it more then anything and I hope to become a professional. My personal style is probably what you would classify as Southern-Preppy, consisting of a ton of Polo shirts, sun dresses and Tory Burch riding boots. My favorite things in life is dance, obviously, but I do really enjoy yoga, pageants,  and walking my dog. I don’t really dislike anything to much, besides specific foods and music.

Spring Break post will be up soon!

Acca- help me? (Alpha Files Round Three)

Hey girls,

So today’s post is for MassieKurX’s contest The Alpha Files, I will be answering a fashion emergency question as the challenge!

—-

Q:

There is only one way to say this. My fashion sense is absolutely horrid, and don’t get me started on how I take care of myself. I have no idea where to shop without blowing my entire wallet, and what kind of beauty products should I be using!?  My hair looks the same every single day, what kind of hair styles should I do? All the girls in my school look so put together, why can’t I do that!? ACCA-THIS IS URGENT!

A:

First and foremost, you need to fix the little things. The bases of all beauty and fashion- your body! Try to clear up your skin by using a good quality skin cleanser, like the Clinique Three Step System, or a face wash from Clearisil, Clean & Clear, etc. If you feel your hair is dull, or you just need a change go online to see whats trending in the hair world. For instance maybe go out and Ombre it, this is where your hair gradually get’s lighter near the ends. If you decide the ombre is not for you, highlighting  is always a good idea, or updating the hairstyle itself by cutting off a few inches.

For fashion advice, you just need to find your style. Look through a magazine and circle the clothing pieces you find cute, and that look fashionable. If your too afraid to start taking that risk right now, start by buying just key pieces that are in. Like, high wasted distressed shorts, and cute crop tops and tank tops to match. Both of those things are very popular for spring, I suggest looking on the following links for fashion, hair, and makeup advice:

Glamour By A Gamma. (The Alpha Files – Round 2)

Hello Loves,

Today’s post will be a little different then usual, this is my 2nd challenge for The Alpha Files contest hosted by MKX. So the challenge is to give 5 to 10 tips on how to stay alpha during the winter, well I might not be an alpha,  but I sure know how to dress like one. (;

Now on with the tips!

1.) Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize:   Taking care of our skin is the most important step to looking alpha, you cant have a perfect painting without a clean pallet. So you might think that you can still use the moisturizer you use in the summer/ spring, but as weather conditions change, so, too, should your skin care routine.  Find an “ointment” moisturizer that’s oil-based, rather than water-based, as the oil will create a protective layer on the skin that retains more moisture than a cream or lotion. Be careful while choosing, some oils can clog your pores, look for oils like avocado oil, mineral oil, primrose oil, or almond oil.

2.) Sunscreen: Yes, sunscreen isn’t just for the summer! The winter sun, and snow glare can still damage your skin, try using a broad spectrum sunscreen and reapply it frequently while outside.

3.) Trim your hair: If you are currently trying to grow your hair out, try to cut off half an inch every month during the cold season. The cold weather can cause breakage to your beautiful locks, which means trimming is the only solution to no split ends.

4.) Shampoo less, condition more: Use more conditioner. and rinse it out with cold water to lock in the moisture. This gives your hair a burst of shine, also leave a little of the conditioner in after the shower near the ends of your hair to help prevent split ends.

5.) Eat Healthier: Nutrition is key to healthy hair, skin, and an overall fit body. Try eating more foods with Vitamin C for good skin, walnuts & salmon to keep your hair strong and rich in color, just try to eat healthier over all.

Here’s a cute little hair tutorial to try out for the winter also!

Hope you all enjoyed the post,

xoxo,

Rachel Woodlands.

V-day Replay.

Hey Girls,

I’m sitting in my dorm room right now, munching on the conversation hearts I received from my valentine. My hair is up in a bun, and I just washed my face. I am wearing one of Zac’s old baseball jerseys, and a blue pair of Abercrombie pants.

—–

I walked into a vacant studio C and set my dance bag down, walking over to the stereo, I plugged in my iPhone and pressed play on my workout playlist. Pulling my hair up into a ponytail, I began to stretch. After stretching for a good 20 minutes, I started doing progressions across the floor, to work on my pirouettes. Dancing was the only thing that was going to get Zac off my mind, the fact that he wasn’t here on valentines day made my heart sink. I stopped and let myself fall to the floor, tears rolled down my cheeks. I missed my boyfriend, my sister, my parents, I just missed my home.

bzzzz bzzz bzzzz

Fishing my phone out of my dance bag, I saw Zac’s contact icon on the screen. I swiped open my phone to answer.

“Oh my gosh, you have no idea how much I miss you.” I said into the phone, I tried to control my sniffling so I could hear his reply. “Rachel, where are you?” He asked. “In the studio, I was just going to practice so I didn’t have to go and see all the girls with their valentines,” I admitted, in a pathetic tone. “You shouldn’t do that,” he chastised. “And why not? I’m all alone on valentines day Zac,” The tears started up again and I had to press speaker phone. “Your not alone, Rach.” He said. I stopped for a second, that voice did not come from the phone. Looking up, I saw an all to familiar handsome soccer player standing in the doorway.

“ZAC!” I screamed. I pushed my self up, and jumped into his arms. He hugged me tight and I breathed in the scent of his cologne, he set me down and wiped the tears from my cheeks. “Told you I would be closer then you think,” he said smiling. “How’d I get so lucky?” I said giggling, while I gabbed his had and swung it back in forth like a little kid.  ”I think I’m the lucky one,” he kissed my forehead then leaned down to grab my dance bag, “come on we have a date to go on!” Excitedly I followed him outside to his car. “Wait,  I have to get dressed!” I said, before stepping into his car. “I figured you were going to say that,” he winked,”I’ll drop you off at the dorms.”

—-

I changed into the outfit above^, once I finished curling my hair I texted the STARS that I wouldn’t be home for a while. Checking myself one last time in the mirror I snapped a photo, and of course put it on instigram. Feeling my phone buz in my pocket, I swiped it open to a text from the girls and Zac.

Tay- Awww! Have fun on your date Rach!

Zac- Almost ready?(:

Sadie- Have fun, girl!

I replied to them all while running out the door, I rounded the corner then clicked the button to the elevator to take me to the next floor. When the doors opened, I spotted Zac standing in the lobby. A few of the juniors were trying to flirt with him, and he was politely trying to separate himself. I strutted over and slipped my hand around his waist, he instinctively threw his arm around my shoulder. “Hi girls, I see you’ve met my amazing boyfriend!” I said sweetly, putting on my best fake smile. The girls looked at each other and nodded, they excused themselves and walked over to the vending machines. A smile spread across my cherry color stained lips, I loved flashing off Zac. Girls flock around him, and I knew it drove them crazy that he was in a  relationship.

Zac and I headed out to the parking lot, towards his car. He opened the door for me like a perfect gentlemen, then made sure to turn the radio on to my favorite channel once  we got on the road. “So where exactly are we going?” I asked turning my head away from the window. We were driving deep into the valleys’ of CA, and the scenery was beyond gorgeous. “Well, we’re going wine tasting,” he said nonchalantly. There was a moment of silence until my head actually processed what he had said, “wait, what?” He smiled, and winked at me from the drivers seat. “We’re not actually drinking wine, we’re just going to have dinner at a Winery.” My heart jumped a little, I couldn’t believe he planned out such a romantic setting for this date.

——

When we arrived and usher met us at the front of the beautiful building, we got out and Zac handed the keys to the valet. He grabbed my hand and pulled me inside, there was a small table for two in the middle of one large room that held all the wine. There were two violinists, and a flute player in the corner of the room playing romantic music. I took my seat, and crossed my still summer tanned legs. We were there for what felt like hours, just talking an enjoying the delicious food. So much was going on in our lives that we hadn’t even had time to share it, the thought scared me a bit, I mean what if it was like this for the next four years?

Zac reached his hand across the table and grabbed mine, startling me from my thoughts. “I have one more surprise,” he said pulling me to my feet. I quickly grabbed my navy blue satchel, and followed him outside. He told me to close my eyes while he led me through this small patch of trees, I reluctantly shut my eyes. About a minute later, he stopped and told me that I could look. I gasped as I let the scenery sink in, we were in a gorgeous white gazebo surrounded by tall trees and a large creek.  A small boom box sat on the wooden steps of the gazebo, and I could hear the soft country music it was playing.

I glanced up at him and in a cocky tone said, “you know, I’ve been taking a few ballroom classes.” Giggling I did a small little chaine turn to the middle of the gazebo, I turned and smiled at Zac secretly daring him to ask me to dance. He shoved his hands in his pockets and walked towards me, he put his hands on my waist and just smiled. “What?” I asked, a quiet laugh escaped my lips. “Nothing, I’m just waiting for my amazing girlfriend to teach me some sort of dance step that I know I’ll never get,” he grinned ,” but, I will do my best to try to impress her.” I almost started crying, I began to laugh so hard.

“Why would you try to impress me, Zac Diorio? I mean I’m already your girlfriend.”

“Because I love you, Rachel Woodlands. And since your my girlfriend, I get to remind you as much as I want.”

He then bent down and kissed me, I wrapped my arms around his neck and tried my best not to cry from happiness.

———-

When Zac dropped me back off to BDA, I quietly slipped inside trying not to wake the other girls. I trotted to my shared bedroom, then to the farthest side of the room where my bed and adorable husky were. Surprisingly, I walked over to find four large chocolate boxes from the STARS all with cute messages scribbled on them, and a huge bouquet of flowers that had been set on my desk. I quickly slipped on my PJ’s and hopped in bed with ‘Laska, trying to replay tonight’s events in my mind. I think hands down, I had the best boyfriend, and best friends a girl could ever have.

Valentines day, breakups, and more!

Hey Girls,

I’m currently curled up on the couch in my friend Audrey’s dorm, Taylor sits across from me as I type this weeks post. We’re having a girls night in with the STARS, Fiona, and Audrey. My hair is in a french braid, and I still have on my school clothes.

———————–

❤❤❤

“Rachel, Rachel hurry up!” Taylor yelled from outside the bathroom door, I rolled my eyes and stepped out of the shower. “It takes time to look as good as I do, Tay!” I yelled in a teasing tone, I could hear her scoff and walk away. I piled all of my dark brown hair and rolled it up in a towel, then threw on my lavender colored robe. “I’m done!” I said while exiting the bathroom, Taylor threw her hands up and the air and in an exasperated tone said “Finally!” I laughed and headed for my bedroom, Sadie and Serena were already ready and about to head to breakfast. “Your gonna be late if you don’t hurry, Rach.” Sadie warned. “It’s fine I’ll just grab a granola bar on my way out, I’ll make it to class on time.” I replied, I trotted over to my makeup table and plugged in my hair dryer. “Whatevs, See you in  Acro Rach!” Serena said as she and Sadie joined Taylor out the dorms. I sat down and started to apply my makeup, I blow dried my hair then straightened it. Walking to my part of the huge walk-in closet, I examined my tops and decided on a cobalt velour one. I paired it with a rose gold necklace, and watch. Before leaving for 1st period I grabbed my new Coach purse, applied some red lipstick, then grabbed a granola bar and headed for the main building. Considering it was saturday most students wouldn’t have class, but because of all the AP classes I took I have to take classes from 10 AM to 12 PM.

My outfit, in case you were wondering!

❤❤❤

While walking on my way to class, I was stopped by the familiar waiter I had met last week. “Hey Rachel, right?” He asked walking towards me. I nodded while adjusting the straps of my back pack, he turned around and pulled a flyer off a nearby bulletin board. “Your quite good at contemporary, correct?” He questioned while handing me a blue flyer that was titled ‘Contemporary Dancers Needed.’ I looked up, “Well I’ve been told I am.” He smiled, “Mrs. Brazille is looking for a new duet to join her and the senior company to go to a competition in Malibu, she’s having auditions and even allowing freshman to try out.” I raised an eye brow, “And why are you telling me this?” I asked.

“Well your one of the best contemporary dancers in the freshman class, I’m one of the best in the junior class. I thought we would make great partners!” He said enthusiastically. Giggling a little, I agreed to try the dance-partners thing out with him, and meet him around 5 to rehearse.

When I arrived to my class room,  I took a seat in the front row, turning my attention to the board I pulled out my notebooks trying to ignore bitchy glances from the senior girls. Secretly I pulled out my iPhone and browsed twitter for a few minutes, something caught my attention when I heard a group of girls talking about me.

“Wait, who is she?” A girl I think named Jessica asked.

“Rachel Woodlands, she’s in that group with those freshman from New York.” A girl named Madison replied.

“Oh, is that the group Landon’s cousin, Poppy was talking about taking down?” Jessica questioned.

I whipped around, “excuse me?” I hissed at her. Startled Jessica looked from me, to Madison, then back to me. “We weren’t even talking to you, Regan turn around,” She said rolling her eyes. “Um it’s Rachel, don’t act like you don’t know it. Now what were you saying about Poppy?” I demanded. She shifted in her chair, then sighed and began to talk. After she had informed me of Poppy’s master plan to take the STARS down I grabbed my phone and fired a text off to Rory.

OMG, I have to tell you something. -Rach

 Rory: Tell me later, but get to the Dorms ASAP! S needs our help! 

K, I’ll leave right after french. -Rach

 ❤❤❤

As soon as french let out I tore for the dorm rooms, I unlocked the door to find Serena on the couch, and the rest of the STARS surrounding her. Seconds later Rory burst through the door, “What happened?” Serena bit her lip and glanced at Taylor who said, “Poppy is Landon’s cousin” Suddenly I felt Rory’s tea splash my cheek and I quickly moved away, “Ewww!” I said slightly giggling. “He broke up with me over text ,” Serena scoffed. “How much of a jerk do you have to be to do that?” I said, disgusted.

We decided to spend the rest of the night cheering up Serena, Taylor and I went to pick up some Pinkberry and a few rental movies. When Tay and I got back, we popped Pitch Perfect into the DVD player and handed all the girls their Pinkberry. I got a text from Zac asking me to get on Skype for a bit so I quickly excused my self and headed to my bedroom, opening up my Macbook Air I answered his Skype call. “Hey gorgeous!” Zac said as his face apeared on the screen. “Hey handsome,” I giggled, I had missed him so much. “So I was wondering, would you like to be my Valentine?” He asked. I smiled, “well of course, but it’s going to be difficult considering your halfway across the country..” I trailed off. “I wouldn’t say I’ll be halfway across the country, I might be closer then you think.” He said grinning. “Wait, what?” I asked confused. “Gotta go babe!” And with that he signed off.

Sighing, I closed my computer and decided to just go to bed. I threw on my lavender silk pajamas, and put my hair in a braid. Alaska hopped up on the bed with me and I stroked her fur, I sat for a while just wondering how I was going to tell the STARS what I had learned about Poppy, and if they would be mad at me for ever trusting her.

A Day At BDA.

7:30 AM

BDA building 1

Cafe Free Spirit

Rachel gripped her cup of non-fat White Mocha, and sat next to Serena at the table. The STARS had made it a thing to claim the table by the window, so they would have the best view of the campus. “Oh wow Rach, no Poppy?” Taylor asked, Rachel bit her lip and rolled her eyes. “I don’t get why you all hate her so much, I’ve never heard her say a mean thing to you.” She replied while sipping her coffe. Rory gave her a look and then told the girls to drop it, it wasn’t the time or the place to bicker about that. “Well I have some gossip,” Sadie announced shooting the STARS a devilish grin. “Spill!” They all said in unison. “I have a crush,” she answered simply. “Who?” Rory pressed. “You’ll see,” she replied giggling. The girls finished up breakfast then parted ways to get to their classes.

Advanced Jazz

“Alright girl get stretched, we’re going to be learning a new combo today!” Jayla, the Jazz teacher said. Rachel took a spot at the front of the class. None of the other STARS had Jazz this period, so the only person she knew was Poppy. Poppy sat next to her and began to stretch, “Hey Rachel!” She said sweetly while she slid into the splits. Rachel smiled, and glanced around the room to see if the other dancers were pulling out there best flexibility moves. All around the room people were eyeing each other trying to guess who would be the best in class. Rachel had always been the best Jazz and Contemporary student, and she wasn’t about to give it up to kids she had never met. She stood up and pulled her back leg up in a needle position.

“Nice Rachel!” Jayla said as she studied Rachel’s form, Rachel smiled spotting  jealous  glances from the other students. “Looks like we found a class favorite,” Poppy said winking.

Cafe

Rachel stepped into the dim lit school cafe  she breathed in the scent of gourmet food and smiled. BDA had hired professional chefs for the students, to make sure they ate healthily. She joined the end of the line behind 5 other students who were about to put in their order, and pulled out her phone. “What would you like ma’am?” Said a cute boy with brown eyes. Rachel looked up she was still far behind in the line, “I’m 6th in line though?” He smiled,” I can always cut corners for a pretty girl.” Rachel rolled her eyes and decided to flirt back, she would do anything to beat this line. “Well how about a Caesar salad, and glass of raspberry lemon tea?” He nodded and wrote the order down, “I’ll bring it to your table.” He said with a slight wink. She searched around the cafe for the STARS, she spotted them in a large booth. Gracefully, she slid into the seat next to Taylor. “How was your class Rach?” Rory asked while sipping her lemon water. “Ah-mazing! I swear I’ll be class favorite in no time,” she giggled. The rest of the girls began talking about there classes and the new teachers. They soon finished up lunch, and headed back to their dorms to get dressed for their regular classes.

Rachel heard her phone ding from inside her purse as she finished slipping into her light blue J-Crew sweater. She pulled it out to find a message from Zac.

Zac- Guess who’s flying in to Carmel for the weekend?

Her face lit up as she pushed the call button while hurriedly putting her coat on and following the rest of the STARS out the door. “Your coming this weekend?” She yelled giddily into the phone. ”Of course, two weeks away from my girl is way to long!” He replied. She smiled, “I better go, I have to get to Biology, but I can’t wait to see you this weekend babe, love you.” He told her goodbye and hit the end call button. Rachel quickly told the STARS and tried to stop herself from smiling, but she couldn’t. It was impossible.
