Gina Peterson didn't hear the electric gates slide open , or the silver Mercedes convertible purr through into the drive . She didn't hear the heavy wrought-iron and glass front door slam shut , or the tappity-tap of her mother's elegant high heels on the parquet floor of the huge , jaw -droppingly impressive entrance hall.

Over the noise in her bedroom, Gina had no hope of hearing her mother's screech of fury as she took the white marble -topped stairs at something as close to a run as she could manage, what with the heels and the fact that she was pulling a tired 8 years old boy along behind her.

Gina! Lorelei Winkelmann screamed at the top of her voice, furious that , yet again , she was going to have a row with her spoiled brat of a daughter.
It was almost 7 p.m. (pacific Time) and something of an all-girl party was going on in Gina's rooms : her 3 best friends , Paula , Ria and Maddison , had come over to the house after school.
House wasn't quite the right word for the place , The Winkelmann , Royce and Peterson family home in Malibu , California, was one of those stunning glass modernist fantasies with enormous windows , billowing curtains and a sparkling view of endless ocean and sky.

The bright turquoise swimming pool in the garden was long enough for Lorelei's fifty laps at 6:20 a.m. to be properly invigorating. Naturally, there was a gardener who moved the lawns, trimmed the shrubbery and watered the plants all day long , while indoors a housekeeper buffed the maple , chrome and marble surface to dazzling perfection.

Gina and her half_brother Menzie Royce, had lived in this luxury for as long as they could both remember, with not just a room of their own, but a whole suite-bedroom, sitting room and personalized bathroom (Gina's was pink with gold taps ; Menzie had recently chosen an elaborate Superman mosaic for his shower , which he was already acutely embarrassed about).
Whenever people asked Gina what Lorelei and her partner , Mick Menzie's Dad , did for a living , Gina's glib reply was : oh , computers ...software, you know that kind of stuff. They practically invented the internet.'

Maddison and Ria were sprawled across Gina's double bed , taking turns to paint each other's finger-nails in the moment's shade of 'Screaming Queen' pink. While Paula and Gina were practicing their dance moves to the retro-disco belting out from the surround -sound stereo. All 4 were decked out in 'awesome' (or, to the uninitiated, 'ludicrous') new outfits chosen at great length from the land slide of expensive tops , skirts , jeans ,shoes, bags , jewelry, jackets and sunglasses spread across the floor , the bed , the sofa and as far as the eye could see .
'Man, we rock!' Gina panted, gyrating her hips in time with Paula's and attempting a complicated move that was more painful than she'd expected in the shoes she'd borrowed from her mother's wardrobe. I can't wait for next weekend! I can not wait!

'So has your mom OK'd Everything? Paula asked loudly, so as to be heard over all the music .
'Oh ...you know ...I'll tell her you're going and your mom said it's OK, so that will be'- Gina put her hands behind her head , flocked up her long blonde hair and carried on dancing as best she could in three-inch heels -'cool'.
She , Paula, Ria and Maddison has a plan. The weekend after next they were going to hook up with Paula's boyfriend, Martinez , and three of his friends including Aidan . Yes ,most definitely including Aidan . Gina got that stupid , trippy, butterfly-stomach feeling whenever she thought about Aidan, but that didn't stop her worrying a lot about wether he liked Ria better than her. Gina imagined going for long walks with Aidan, talking to him , holding his hand and feeling his arm around her shoulders.but she didn't like to think about kissing him . Because just thinking about kissing brought on flashbacks of her last boyfriend. "Squid Boy" , so named because he had turned out to be damp , slimy , squelchy and tentacle-armed. Gina shuddered and tried to put the Squid out of her mind.
Anyway, the eight of them were all going to take a bus up-state to the water's Edge Festival to see some of the coolest, most happening bands in the world , and they were going to camp for Two nights in adjoining tents. Paula and Martinez had already organized the tents ; had in fact taken quite a close interest in the sleeping arrangements .

"You can't lose your virginity in a tent you're sharing with your friends ,' Gina had warned. It's just not romantic...or polite '.

'As if '!Paula hissed back.
The trip was organized, the tents and sleeping bags had been bought , the festival tickets booked. There were just a few tiny details to tie up ... like, mmmmm, getting their parents to agree. Everyone had been so scared their parents would say no that no one seemed to have actually asked yet.
I was going to tell my mom that your mom had already agreed'. Paula said , breaking into the kind of groovy little on -the-spot moon walk that proved, yet again she was the best dancer.
Gina had been dancing with Paula and copying her every move since first grade , but it didn't make any difference: Paula was natural and Gina was the kind of dancer who twisted her ankles .
'Not a problem '' Gina told Paula now. 'Our moms are far too busy to actually speak to each other . Jeez, they're both such classic over-achievers'. She glanced down at her little silver wristwatch, wich was Gucci (of course), just as most of her tops were juicy and her jeans 7 for All Mankind. In Gina's group these were the current shopping rules, wich had to be obeyed.
'It's only seven '. Gina added . 'Mine won't be home for at least another hour or later if she's doing "me time " at Power Pilates . Yours?
"Same". Paula replied.
So all four girls were a little surprised, to say the least, when the bedroom door burst open and they saw Gina's mother. Lorelei, towering before them , all heels , piled -up hair and slick skirt suit , shouting at the top of her voice: 'What are you doing '?! , what the hell is going on in here?!
