[Molly's Pov]
"Welcome to Mintzler Preparatory Academy for Girls" said the balding, grey headed gentlemen from the front of the auditorium. "Young ladies, you should be aware that you are among the chosen few who will have the pleasure of attending one of the premiere preparatory academies in all of the United States."
"Pleasure....hmmmmm...he has no idea" The brownish red headed girl sitting next to me chuckled as several girls in front, behind and on the other side of her joined in the laughter.
The guy on the stage went on endlessly about the requirements of attending the school and yadda yadda yadda. I though kept being distracted by the snickering of the girls in the next seats, trying to listen in and finding myself leaning towards them slightly.
"Seems we have a new fan" The red headed girl said as the group chuckled and they all turned to look at me. I bit my lip nervously and turned my head instantly away.
"I'm Maxie" A Voice said and seeing a cute blond with beaded hair, when I turned my head to meet the voice. She had her hand extended and I gently shook it as she smiled.
"UMMM Molly" I stammered as the brownish red headed girl gave me the once over. I suddenly found myself being self-conscious in the standard issue prep uniform I was wearing.
White shirt with a belly button length tie, jacket with the school's god-awful emblem, and a pleaded skirt that was for me too short, although in reality, it came to my mid-thigh.
I had my legs crossed like Holly had taught me was lady-like and noticed the dress had risen slightly up my thigh. Which seemed to be where her eyes were focusing.
"And I'm Cally, Cally Oliver," the Brownish red-headed girl said without a trace of a smile, but still looking me over with her eyes.
"That's Chloe," She said, pointing to the red head over her shoulder, who was giving me a serious going over with her eyes, "Shelby, Dakota and Mindy and Cindy" She said pointing out the rest of the girls, Dakota was a Native American girl, Shelby was a light skinned black girl with beautiful eyes and Mindy and Cindy were the twins sitting on opposite sides of Chloe in the row behind us.
"Are you guys some sorta of a club?" I asked as the entire group fell into a fit of giggles.
"You could say that," Cally said, "they call us the Mintz, cause if you're in with us, you pretty much have nothing to worry about here. I guess you could say I'm the leader of the pack."
"So how do I become a member of your group? I'm new here, " I asked as Cally smiled and laughed knowingly before saying, "I love the new girls."
"See Molly Harris," Maxie said, laying her arm on Cally's shoulder and looking at me seductively, "we're a very exclusive group, and you have to pass initiation before you can be considered."
"OK, what is it?" I asked, obviously curious.
"What dorm are you in?" Cally asked as I opened the booklet in my lap and tried to find the info she was asking for. I felt her hand cover the top of mine and our fingers link together as she pointed to the answer.
"Keller-Montgomery," She said, crossing her legs and leaning against my shoulder. "That's what I figured. Most of the newcomers are there. So if you're really interested in joining, meet me out in front of the dorm in about...."
She looked at her watch and then up to the guy on the stage and said, "About 45 minutes."
"OK," I said as she realized my hand with a smile. One which I was quickly growing to like.
"See ya there," She said as she dropped to the floor in a catcher's position and said under her breath to the rest of her clique. "Let's go, girls."
"Excuse me, young lady," a Booming Voice said from behind me, Cally stopped dead in her tracks and looked back sheepishly.
"Miss Harris, I think you should pay a little more attention considering you are new here. Instead of chatting with your friends. And Miss Oliver, what are you doing on the floor, attempting to sneak out?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry Ma'am" I said, pulling Cally up by the shirt collar and watching her smile. "I dropped my contact, and she was helping me find it."
"Well eyes front and lips closed," She said before walking away back to the front.
"Bitch" Cally said as she flipped her the bird with both hands. "Thinks her shit don't stink cause, her bitch mother is on the board of directors."
"She is?" I asked.
"Yeh Miss Logan, stupid whore thinks she can control us" Cally said with bitterness in her voice, "she's gonna get hers this year and we'll see who runs this shit hole."
"Damn straight" Chloe said as she again looked at me with a shy smile. That is until Maxie caught her and drew her attention away. The twins laughed knowingly.
"Duck, follow us and do what I say" Cally said as all at once the eight of us, dropped to the floor and made our way out of the auditorium. Outside, Maxie and Chloe walked ahead with the rest of the girls, holding hands. I did notice though that Chloe snuck one more look at me over her shoulder before pretending nothing had happened. While Cally said before rushing off, "You better not be wasting my time. Like I said, meet me in front of the dorm in 3 quarters."
"You mean 45 minutes?" I asked almost totally clueless.
"Yes, duh" She said before turning and running off after her troop. She's gotta a very nice set of legs, I remember thinking at that moment as her skirt flew up slightly while she ran. Very nice indeed...
