"Every new friend is a new adventure, the start of more memories."

I wrestled with myself all night, wondering if I should announce my new found friendship to my minions or simply play cool, like nothing happened. I even had a "Halston inspired" outfit picked out. Causal and exotic. Finally, my alarm went off and I switched from inspired Alison to plain old Alison. It was like bibbity-bopity-boo backwards.
I dressed in my normal on trend style, a fitted white tee shirt and a baby pink skirt. I curled my hair and caked on makeup, and for the first time in my life, I liked myself better without the Barbie-like look. I wished I could simply show up to school in a pair of comfy leggings and a sweatshirt. But no, I had to be perfect.
I had people to impress, including my mother. She hadn't so much as looked at me when I walked through the door last night. She simply told me to "Get to bed," staring at stocks on her computer screen. I had gone to bed wishing my family was like Halston's.
As soon as I got to school I stopped in my usual spot with my minions. This time they looked stuck up and over dressed to me. On one side, Kelley and Renae were sneering at a chubby sixth grader, both clad in designer khaki skirts and polo shirts. On the other side, Diana and Salina were talking about something equally as shallow, also dressed identical to Renae and Kelly. My other assorted minions were the same.
"Hey girl!" Renae sashayed over to me, flipping her newly dyed black braid over her shoulder.
"Hi!" I managed a smile.It felt so wrong now. We were bullies, I realized. Like over dressed thugs who used their mouths instead of their fists. Of course, I didn't say that. People to impress. This time I didn't join in though, just patiently waited for Halston to show up so I could tell my minions she was now "in".
As if on cue Alana's SUV pulled up and Halston jumped out. Today she was dressed fancier, and yet still laid back. Her long hair was straightened and her bangs were pinned back.She even wore subtle lipstick. She had on an outfit I had seen her wearing in a picture on her wall, a lace skirt and jean shirt. On her feet were gorgeous gold sandals I wished I had.
Of course, also on cue-my minions piped up.
"Such a wannabe." Renae spoke up, yet again.
"Who does she think she is, Princess Kate?" I smile, she probably bought the outfit in England, right after seeing the Princess married.
Halston walks by, two girls huddled around her. Yep, she was already cool. I smiled and waved at her. She did the same. I turned towards my minions, their mouths hung open.
I laughed. "Halston's in now, got it?" I raised an eyebrow and smirked. They nodded and whispered as I turned to walk in the building. This time I didn't turn and yell at them, I just walked away laughing. They were so pathetic.
