“HOLY EFF! You did NOT just hang up on Bent Prince, did you?” Kimber stared at Layla, who now held Sarah’s phone.”I d-didn’t mean to!” Layla whined. She clutched Sarah’s phone to her chest as if it were a lifeline. “It’s just SA-RA was hogging the phone all to HER-SELF. I-I wanted to talk to him too–he’s soooo to die for.” Layla started to hand the phone back to Sarah, when it suddenly rang. “Bent’s calling back!” Layla screamed. Her shaking hands whipped the phone into the air as she tried to answer it. It hit against a wooden cabinet and crashed to the ground in several pieces. Sarah stared dumbfounded at her broken phone. Thank you soooo much, Layla-Bo-Bayla-YOU-Dump-Head! Sarah sighed and bent to pick up her phone. “It’s fine. I can order another one soon. I’ll just get my sim card.” She quickly picked up the pieces and dumped them into her overnight bag. Guess Bent won’t be calling that phone for awhile, she thought, amused. He was probably so ticked off right now. A knock sounded on the door of the guesthouse. Sarah jumped up to answer it. “Oh, hello there.” The Woods’s housekeeper stood stiffly in the doorway. “I’m going now. Please tell Miss Elly her parents will be home very late tonight.” With that she turned and disappeared around the corner. “Who was that?” Elly asked. She looked normal again. Though maybe slightly greener from puking. “Your housekeeper,” Sarah said. “Your parents won’t be back till late.” Elly’s eyes opened wide. “Reeeaaallllly????” She spun around to face the other girls. “Lovely lady dew drops. Change of plans. FOLLOW ME!” The group of girls tip-toed over the cold grass back towards the main house. They walked through the living room, across the foyer, and up the stairs to the second floor. Elly led them to the end of a long hallway. She pushed the double doors open with an exaggerated flourish. “Welcome, ladies, to my mother’s immaculate dressing room!” Sarah almost tripped as she stumbled slightly in her high heels. Mrs. Woods’s dressing room was absolutely gorgeous. And E-Friggin-Normous. The dressing room wasn’t just one room. But two rooms. They entered the main floor, a huge closet. Glass doors along the walls displayed expensive, beautiful clothes of the most magnificent colors. The topmost shelves held numerous, pricy purses and clutches. “Whoa, your mom’s closet is a mall,” Kimber said. She spun around in circles to stare up at all of the different items. “What’s with the mannequin?” Dalia asked, pointing to a figure in the center of the room. It wore a ballgown. Elly giggled. “Oh, my mom’s seamstress sent her that new dress from LA. They’re getting her fitted for it for her upcoming gala next month.” Elly held out her phone. She snapped a picture of herself making a kissy face. “Okay, ladies. It’s time to DRESS UP!!!! Grab whatever you want and meet back here in five minutes. We’re going to have our very own FASHION SHOW!”The girls screamed with excitement, including Sarah. She scrambled after Trish and Elly to the upstairs floor. They took a small, spiral staircase that led out of the first floor dressing room. When Sarah reached the second floor, she had to catch her breath. The entire room held cabinets filled with the most incredible designer jewelry she had ever seen. Elly opened a cabinet near Sarah. She picked up a strand of pearls with tiny diamonds interwoven. At the end of the necklace was a gorgeous green emerald. “It’s absolutely breathtaking,” Sarah stammered. “So true,” Elly said. “Too bad my mother doesn’t wear most of these. She always wants to buy more, more, MORE.” Elly narrowed her eyes evilly. “I’m sure she won’t miss these for the next hour.” Elly laughed and tossed the pearl diamond necklace around Sarah’s neck. “Say cheese!” Elly yelled. Sarah quickly struck a pose with her right knee bent, one hand on her hip, and the other hand draped over her head. “Ooh, that’s good!” Elly screamed! “Work it! WORK IT!” Sarah danced around the room as Elly snapped a few more pictures. She pulled items from shelves and put them on as she moved. She now wore glittery diamond earrings that hung almost to her shoulders. And about ten different rings of various, flashing colors. Her arms were now covered with numerous bracelets that sparkled like stars in the overhead lights. Trish and Elly quickly bedecked themselves with as much jewelry as possible. The girls made their way to the first floor for the latest designer fashions. “Oh, wow! Jewelry!” Kimber breathed when she saw Sarah coming down the stairs. The other girls hurried upstairs to grab jewelry pieces for themselves. “ONE MINUTE!” Elly yelled.
