Suit up Mr. Riley

Nineteen

It was Monday and Diana had to start setting her plan in motion.

First she'd have to befriend Clarissa.

Make Clarissa see that she didn't have eyes for Andrew.

That would be simple enough. 'Most girls believe in keep friends close and enemies closer.'

'I know I do.' She thought.

Walking outside of her guest house she made her way to the mansion.

She used the knocker and knocked on the large door.

"Hello." The butler greeted.

"Hi. I was wondering if I could talk to Clarissa, it's just for a moment."

"Ok, I'll be right back." He said as he motioned for her to follow him inside.

Diana stood and waited for the Hector to come back.

He returned shortly with Clarissa by his side.

Diana smiled a wide smile.

"Hi! I was wondering if you wanted to go to the spa or mall or something like that." Diana said with enthusiasm.

"Hi Diana. Now is actually not a very good time, I just had friends come into town."

"Oh. Okay, um well I guess I'll just go by myself. I hope you enjoy your company, see ya." Diana said as she started to turn and leave.

Clarissa sighed, even though she didn't want to, she knew that she was too kind to let her walk away.

"Diana. Wait, if it doesn't bother you would it be okay if me, you, and my friends all went together."

"Oh, of course not. I'd love to meet them." She said with a fake grin.

"Great. We'll come pick you up in one of my SUV's when we're all ready.

"Okay, that sounds perfect. See you then."

"I'm not going."

"Wesley get your butt up."

"No!"

"Wesley, look-" Clarissa said as she saw Taylor walking into the room.

"What?!"

"Look at Taylor. She's dressed and ready to go, that means that you should be too."

"No it doesn't."

"Yes it does. If Tay is willing to risk jail, then you should be willing to risk a simple and hilariously smart comment."

Wesley rolled his eyes and got up off of the sofa.

"Clarissa does my outfit look ok?" April asked as she twirled around and showed off a cute light green and sky blue jumper dress.

"I love it!"

"Clarie, you say that about everything I wear."

"That's because I love everything you wear Appie." Clarissa said as she stuck out her bottom lip.

"Okay Clarissa."

Clarissa opened her mouth in excitement and made a weird breathy noise.

"Why does your outfit matter April?" Taylor asked as she laid on the floor.
