alaynah paused for a second after kam’s question. “i’m sure you’ll find out soon.” she muttered before putting the car in drive. luckily, traffic wasn’t too awful on this side of the city. however, alaynah was notoriously known for being an awful driver. when they were almost at the school, she slammed on breaks to let a pigeon cross the road. every loose object in the vehicle went flying forward, including an old cup of coffee which slammed against the windshield and splattered on her dashboard. luckily, it didn’t spill far enough to touch her or kam. “oops.” she said, slightly embarrassed.

when they got the school, she got out and tossed the keys to the valet, mumbling an apology for the mess. “welcome to hell.” she said to kamden as they walked into the building, not joking in the slightest. she scanned the room, people dancing and lights strobing. her dad had just preformed to these teens, but he hadn’t even said hi to her when he was in town. alaynah had taught herself not to be disappointed, after her parents missed almost every christmas and birthday. she used to spend those holidays with ariana’s family, the burkes were more of a family than her actual blood ever was. speak of the devil, ariana came waltzing you to her.

immediately alaynah got visibly nervous. “um, i’m j-just gonna go” she sputtered, but it was too late. when her ex-bestfriend hugged her, every muscle in her body went as tense as it could. “still not a psychopath, ana” she managed to say without her voice quivering. “well, i’m just gonna... yeah...” the tall girl said awkwardly as ariana’s attention turned to kam. she didn’t want to be around to witness the queen bee of the school take the one friend she had managed to make.

awkwardly, she pivoted stiffly and headed to the punch table. palms sweaty, she downed three cups before she realized that a small congregation of girls was side eyeing her. alaynah’s eyes caught ambrose, who looked just as lonely as she felt. after contemplating it for a bit, she walked over to him. “feeling as out of place as i do?” she asked, studying abrose’s face. she had never been too awfully close with him, but now she would say that they were in similar positions. people on the inside looking out.

rosie click clacked up the stairs to the school in her white cinderella heels. she looked like a little princess in her pink two piece, the top bedazzled in gems and the bottom satin finished. with a grin, she opened the doors to the auditorium and entered, a feeling of regret washing over her instantly.
though she hadnt drank anything at the concert, it wasnt like she or any of these other people could forget the day she showed up to school hungover with a ticket in hand. rosies grin faded as her brown eyes scanned over the crowd in the school. alaynah, ariana, and- wait who was that? hell if she knew.
but what to do what to do... rosie entered finally, the doors nearly slamming behind her in the next persons face that she didnt care about, and why should she? she was a model, no, THE model of the school, and everyone knew her. maybe that was the problem though. sighing, she stood to the side and tapped her foot, chewing on her red rose tinted lip.

The car ride to the school is nothing shy of terrifying as Alaynah whips around corners, veers between lanes and slams on the breaks. A cup of coffee comes flying from absolutely nowhere and bursts open against the windshield, splashing over everything except our bodies.
"What the [removed]!" I exclaim, still gripping the armrests as if my life depended on it. Once the car comes to a complete stop, I take a deep breath and smooth out my grey crew neck, tugging my denim jacket into place. I nod my head affirmatively and quickly get out of the car, shook.
We head inside the building and walk into a decked out hall, blaring loud music and heavily decorated with lights and tables. Not bad, it looks professional. From beside me, I hear Alaynah welcome me to hell, to which I smile and give her a look of confusion. As soon as the words leave her mouth, a petite redhead in a whole ass ball gown strolls over and gives Alaynah quite the tacky greeting. I chuckle softly but it immediately drops when she mentions rehab. Rehab? The hell that supposed to mean?
Her attention is turned to me and I watch as she eyes me up and down, so I do the same back with a subtle smirk.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ana," I drawl, locking my gaze with hers for a moment. My attention breaks from the little lady as Alaynah shifts uncomfortably beside me and softly excuses herself. I try to call her back but she's gone before I know it. What was that about being a psychopath? Okay, clearly I'm missing something here. These girls have some sort of withstanding beef, and I'm gonna find out what it is one way or another.
I turn back to Ana and cock my head, furrowing a brow and chuckling softly. "What was that all about?" I ask her, now noticing a scrawny white boy with a gentle face approaching.
I shove my hands into the pockets of my black skinny jeans, my black Gucci belt sitting low on my hips, and look back at Ana with a soft gaze and slightly tilted head.

[ queen bee ] [ tagged: alaynah + kam ] [ mentions: aj ] [ w/c: 402 ]

ana's gaze grew cold as her ex-friend reminded her of the rumors she'd spread a couple months ago. did she regret hurting her? everyday. but did she regret reaching the top of the social ladder? not a chance in hell. the first thing to know about the upper east side is that you have to be the apex predator. eat or be eaten.

from a young age the elite were taught to trust in no one but themselves. it wasn't her fault that alaynah couldn't follow some simple, unspoken, social rule of manhattan. that's how the queen bee had always grown up. of course, she could make a few exceptions. especially for the boy who she saw approaching them as alaynah walked off. aj! she thought as her best friend and quite honestly, at this time he was her only friend... walked to them.

the young artist had once been just like her. living life, partying, having fun. but now he was a shell of what he used to be. and although ariana couldn't exactly say that she didn't miss who ambrose used to be, she still loved him nonetheless. and although he believed that the perfect solution was to isolate himself from her, she would not give up on him. he gave her a sense of comfort and acceptance few people in the upper east side were able to give her. if all else failed, marrying the guy wouldn't be the worst fate she could imagine. the redhead was about to make her way over to him when the tall guy in front of her spoke once more. [removed] she'd almost forgotten about him.

what was that? well that was actually a very tame response compared to all the drama that went on within their immediate circle. she thought. "oh?" she asked feigning concern over the girl who had just started to talk to aj. great. "I- alaynah never really liked me much. not since she got back," ana said unwilling to give the newcomer the entire story; especially one that would portray her in a bad light. her green eyes met his dark ones and she smiled. "but nevermind that," she said dismissing the previous topic with a wave of her hand. "who might you be? I've never seen you here before? and just so you know- I know everyone so spill new kid," she said with a teasing smile.

xxxthe red lights were really starting to get to carmen as she sat in her car, trying to make it to the venue will in traffic. obviously a lot of people were coming to the charity music festival and she was excited about that. she always liked to see the other rich people in the city helping out the less fortunate. she donated a lot to charities but could never host anything big like this because she didn't really have the connections. maybe if her parents were ever in town they could do something like that but they were always off traveling, meeting new people. she had known about her parents' open relationship since she was sixteen and realized that was the reason why the always went off. right now they were in the bahamas and she was stuck in manhattan. honestly, carmen had only been out of the country a few times and she had only ever been to colombia, where her dad was from, and argentina, where her mom was from. when she was out of high school she planned to travel the world as well. she had already planned out all of her destinations and spoken to her parents about it. they agreed that it would be great for see the world. carmen hoped they would calm down their traveling by then and would start taking care of isla and gabriella themselves instead of getting carmen or some random nannies to do it form them.

xxxcarmen quickly parked her car and got out. it was a small walk to the festival from the area where she parked but it didn't bother her that much. she immediately saw people that she knew from school when she walked in. ariana was obviously there. carmen swore that she must have body doubles because she was everywhere at all time. she also noticed that ariana was talking to a very tall boy who she had never seen before. he was handsome but a complete stranger to her. maybe she would talk to him later. the person she was really looking for was no where to be seen. alaynah had disappeared for a while and before then she and carmen had been really close. she knew that her friend had been struggling but she had never come to her for help or even told her about what was going on. of course, carmen didn't ask. she regretted that now but she hadn't wanted to pry into her personal matters. when ariana started to spread the rumors about alaynah being a psychopath it took everything in carmen's power to not fight ariana. she huffed and looked around, trying to find someone that she noticed other than ariana.
