Melissa Smith woke up, and texted her friend Sarah. Melissa and Sarah had a lot in common. They were both attractive teenagers and they both became cheerleaders.
Melissa had long, well maintained red hair, and an athletic and fit body. She was very fashion conscious, followed all the trends, and sometimes thought about being a fashion designer. Had she not met Sarah when they both started at Lake Point High School, her interest in fashion could have taken her in another direction. Sarah was well off, had a model for a mother...it was easy for Melissa to become a hanger-on.
In fact, the same could be said for many of Sarah's encourage. She'd pushed them toward certain behaviors, molding them in the way a cult leader might, although not quite as refined. Looking down on those not part of their clique, only associating with those in the group or those the group approved of...
And when Sarah wasn't around, it was Melissa leading things. And she had a lot to deal with in a few text messages. Tiffany's latest boy induced crisis, for one. Gossip about Sarah and her boyfriend. And more.
