In The Valley Of Broken Dolls

You're So Vain

Sasha and Johanna arrive at the Gilmore residence.

Sasha stares at the house in awe. The house has three floors. The front porch is wide, the walls are made of nice stone and masonry. If you look around the corner you can see a pool outback.

A nice big country home.

Johanna watches Sasha in silence. She speaks, "It's not that pretty. I'd prefer a nice beachfront home in the Hamptons," she smiles, "Come on let's go inside."

They walk inside the house.

Sasha looks around in curiosity.

Johanna is surprised, the party has already begun without her.

There is loud pop music playing and lots of loud chatter. There are about an estimate of thirty to forty people in attendance. Two girls make their way through the crowd, over to Johanna and Sasha.

The girls are both very pretty. However, you can tell that they're both wearing a good amount of makeup.

Their outfits are very similar to Johanna's.

"How did you get the speakers to work?" Johanna asks.

"One of the guys fixed them for us," One of the girls replied. "Who's this?"

"This is Sasha, she lives down the street. She's Mr. Richards daughter." Johanna answers.

The other girl speaks, "Mr. Richards daughter? I thought Mr. Richards was--"

"No my dad is not GAY!" Sasha chimes in, "He is just a single man that lives in a very big house alone."

The girls stare at her, contemplating her looks.

"I'm Madison."

"I'm Alex."

"Hi." Sasha says awkwardly.

"Sasha's going to be hanging with us for the Summer. She has no friends." Johanna says.

Sasha glares at Johanna.

Johanna laughs, "Come on let's go upstairs."

The girls scurry through the crowd and up the stairs.

Johanna leads them down the hallway.

A girl is already passed out on the floor.

Johanna steps over the girl to get to the room.

Johanna opens her bedroom door and they all enter.

Sasha takes a seat on the bed and she looks around.

The walls are painted pale rose and all of the furniture matches the color of the walls. The room smells like roses and there are posters of pop stars and supermodels on the walls.

The other three girls rush to the vanity to put on makeup and look at themselves in the mirror.

They are very pretty and yet so vain.

Alex and Madison turn to look at Sasha.

Sasha can see that Alex and Madison are looking at her clothes.

"I like your crop top." Madison says.

Sasha smiles, "Thanks."

"You don't have to lie to her I'm going to give her some clothes to change in before she meets anyone worth impressing." Johanna says.

"I think she looks cute." Alex says.

"The objective is not to look cute but to look sexy. Sasha's never had sex she's a virgin." Johanna says.

"What! I never said that to you!" Sasha replies.

"You didn't have too. It's all over your face." Johanna says.

Alex adds, "You do look innocent. It's cute, I miss my innocence."

"Me too." Madison says.

Johanna rolls her eyes and heads towards the closet. She opens it to reveal so many clothes.

"You have a lot of clothing." Sasha says.

"These rags? I keep all my nice stuff in my mothers bedroom where she--"

The girls look down somberly.

"Guys stop you'll make me depressed," Johanna says. "Sasha, this is what you'll wear tonight."

Johanna holds up a very risqué, pink, short, dress.

"Are you kidding if my dad saw me wearing that he'd send me back to Ohio."

"But he won't see you. Unless he's coming over." Madison quips.

Johanna sits next to Sasha. "It's only for tonight. Until you meet a guy and you know."

"I don't need your help getting a guy Johanna!" Sasha replies.

"So you admit that you do want to get a guy tonight!" Johanna shouts.

"No. I don't."

"Ugh! Fine suit yourself keep that ugly crop top on. See if some guy will fuck you then."

"Johanna! That was so mean," Alex laughs.

Johanna rolls her eyes, "That's life."

"Look I get it. You're scared," Madison says to Sasha. "It's okay to be scared to do it."

Sasha is quiet.

"Especially, with your first time. It'll hurt." Alex says.

"Like a bitch." Madison adds.

"And you'll scream and whimper but they won't stop because it's all about them." Johanna says.

"All about who?" Sasha asks.

The three girls look at each other, then to Sasha and yell, "THE GUYS!"

"Right. Of course." Sasha replies.

"Nancy Drew get a clue." Johanna says.

Johanna and Alex go over to the vanity table to touch themselves up.

Madison sits with Sasha.

"We're just kidding with you not every experience is like that. For some girls it doesn't really hurt that much. I understand if you want to remain a virgin until you find the right guy. My dad is a pastor so he's big on chastity..."

Madison stops talking and she looks out towards the window. Something is not right with her.

"Madison? Is everything okay?" Sasha asks.

"Yeah everything is fine."

Johanna gets up. "Okay enough chatting I think Sasha knows each of us well enough now. Let's go downstairs and enjoy the party before everyone gets wasted and the cops come over."

They all follow Johanna out of the room.

Before Sasha leaves, Alex stops her.

"Listen. I'm sorry about Johanna. She's been like this for as long as I can remember." Alex says.

"It's okay." Sasha replies.

"Just relax and have fun. Come."

Alex puts her hand out and Sasha takes it.

They go downstairs.
