I Guess Thats Okay

Her friend Isabel hugged her and batted her fake eyelashes. "I heard what happened! Are you okay?!" 

"Im so sorry!" Another one if her friends, Madison pat her shoulder. 

Anastasia stood there paralyzed as to why they were here and talking to her. She knew they didn't like her or her parents. 

They parted and Isabel looked at Lucas. "Im afriad we haven't met." 

He pressed his lips together. "Im afraid we have." 

"What?" She looked at Anastasia and let her go. 

"These are your friends?" Lucas ignored her, obviously knowing her. 

"Yeah." Anastasia looked at them and him. "This is my cousin, Lucas and this is Isabel, Madison, and Katherine." 

"It's Kate." She held her hand out for Lucas to kiss and he just nodded at her. 

"I was at a Prada fashion show when I heard what happened to your home and parents! Are you staying with him?" 

Anastasia shook her head and shifted her feet. "No. What are you doing here?" She knew well that her 'friends' were spoiled and wouldn't be seen here. 

"I came to get my nails done. My normal nail salon was booked and I needed them done now. Party at Matt's. And they actually did a good job, despite the being open to the public." 

"How is that a problem?" Lucas gave her a confused look. 

She snorted. "Uhm, My father is plastic surgeon. Basicly I'm on the list of important people and they aren't seen in... Malls." She laughed with the other girls and Anastasia turned red. 

Kate looked at Anastasia's bag. "Oh, she didn't mean it." 

"What?" Isabel saw the bag and hugged Anastasia. "Aw, it's okay. We'll take you really shopping sometime. Come to dinner at my parents the 13th. It's my fathers birthday and we can all talk there and everything." 

Anastasia stood still and nodded. "Uh, sure." 

"Anastasia we should go soon. I was going for drinks with Andre and some guys." Lucas looked at his phone. 

"Right. Well, uhm... It was nice seeing you." Anastasia smiled. 

"You too! Love the goth look on you!" Isabel looked her from head to toe. 

"Its so drab, but it looks good on you." Kate smiled and flipped her hair. 

"It looks good." Madison nodded with her short raven hair. 

Anastasia smiled as Lucas led her to the car. She turned and could see all three if them just looking at her, judging her. 

Once inside she looked at Lucas. "Where are you guys going?" 

"Nowhere. Were you like that?" 

She just looked at him. "No. I dont think so." She sank in her seat. "I just liked expensive stuff but I wasnt like that..." 

"Good. Their all bitches. I may be wrong but, I cant believe their actually like that." 

"Madison is actually a nice person. Its just those two and more..." She said the last part quietly and Lucas looked at her. "There's more!?" 

She laughed at his face and tone of voice.

They returned back home after stopping for burgers and fries. "Im not going in. I have class tonight." Lucas smiled as Anastasia got out and shut the door. 

"Okay, thanks for today." She waved as she walked up the steps and his car took off. 

She knocked on the door and her Aunt answered. "Only one bag?" Her face fell.
