it was now the end of the day and cassy had gotten a text from kristy earlier, saying to meet her outside the middle school. the only thing is that, cassidy doesn't know her way to the middle school. luckily sam had offered to walk her over there and he would just walk back to his house. cassidy tried telling him that he didn't have to, but sam wouldn't let her go by herself. so that was what was happening now. they had just arrived outside the school and they were waiting for them to be finished as the high school finished 10 minutes before the middle school. as some kids started coming out the school, sam said bye to cassy and he started on his way back to his house. cassidy decided on clearing her instagram notifications, as she kept them off.

"cassidy!" i heard someone say and i turned and saw kristy walking up to me with a group of girls, i'm guessing are her friends

"hey kris! how are you?" i smiled and put my arms around her for a quick hug

"yeah i'm good. these are my friends, mary anne, claudia, stacey, dawn, jessi and mallory" she said pointing to each of her friends, "guys meet cassidy moss, she's in sam's grade. she's going to join us for our meeting today" kristy finished, and we started walking. i followed along at the back and the one kristy pointed out as stacey, walked beside me. she had blonde shoulder length hair and a great fashion sense.

"so, kristy said that you're from england? that's cool" she started

"yeah actually it was. but i'm liking it here"

"i just wanted to say that you're really pretty"

"aw thank you, i was actually going to say the same about you"

"oh thank you" i watched as her smile grew, "you look really familiar, is there anywhere i might know you from?"

"uh i don't know, maybe you've seen me on one of my runs"

"yeah maybe"

"ok stacey, your times up. i want to talk to the girl kristy's been gushing about" claudia said moving stacey forward and herself back, next to me. i laughed at how much these girls want to talk to me.

"hi! i'm claudia, but you already knew that" she smiled up at me and i looked down at her. and that's when i noticed her jacket

"oh my god! i love your jacket! it's gorgeous!"

"really? you like it?"

"i love it! where'd you get it?"

"oh i actually made it myself. well i sewed all the patches on myself, i thrifted the actual jacket"

"well i love it!"

"thank you!" after that we were now at claudia's house, where they apparently have all their meetings. we walked in and were met with an elderly woman, who i now know as mimi, claudia's grandma. we all went up to claudia's room. it was beautiful, art supplies everywhere.

"uh, i love your room! you like art?"

"i love art" claudia smiled

"do you think i could see some of your stuff?"

"of course you can! but first, gummy bears anyone?" she handed the bag around, "cassidy you want some?"

"thank you for offering, but i'm alright thank you"

"alright!" they all started talking and claudia started pulling out some of her art, i went over to her and looked at it from over her shoulder.

"oh my god, claud, these are great! i love them!"

"thank you" the smaller girl replied

"hey claud, i was wondering if you mabey had some m&m's left?" an older girl asked from the door, and i moved out of the way for claudia to move

"yeah of course ashley" claudia said grabbing the bag of the small chocolates and handing them to her

"thanks!" the girl i now know as ashley said, her eyes roamed around the room and somehow landed on me and her whole expression changed, "your addalin moss, right?"

"uhh yeah" i said with a slight sigh, putting my hands into my back pockets

"wow that's so cool, you have great style by the way. and your instagram is so aesthetically pleasing" she continued

"thank you! but please, call me cassidy" i smiled at her

"yeah of course, thanks claud. you guys have fun!" and she walked away. i turned away from the door to see the girls all looking at me.

"i knew i recognised you from somewhere! your mom is a model, i've seen her on one of the covers of my moms vogue magazines! her mom is athena moss! the fashion icon that styles for Prada and Balenciaga!" stacey said standing up. there was then a chorus of 'wow's and 'no way's and 'that's so cool's.

i mean, at least they think it's cool.
