"I really hate her," states Emily.

"You know how I don't like to use the word hate, Em, but I agree with you,"said Sam.

Emily and Sam have been best friends since the fourth grade. Emily has wavy, blonde hair, along with hazel eyes, and is a little on the short side at 5'1". Sam, on the other hand, has curly, brown hair, with blue eyes, and is tall,5'6", but can be somewhat of an airhead. They are very protective over each other, especially when it comes to boys or 'the populars'.

"Sometimes people can't see/believe the truth behind a liar. They can only see/believe the lie." said one of their other friends.

Everyone knew they were talking about Jes, the popular, head cheerleader, who is currently dating Jack. Jack is the the best pitcher, the star hockey player, and a straight A student. He is also the twin brother to Derek. Derek is exactly the same as Jack, but instead of having blonde hair and green eyes like his brother, he has brown hair and blue eyes.

"But the thing is, people don't care about who you are or what you like. They only care about wether or not you have money." Emily said.

"That's true," says Sam.

"Yeah it is," agrees the other friends, then the girls departed and started towards their 7th period class.

***Later that day***

Emily and Sam ran into Jack and Derek, while walking to their lockers. Emily and Sam emmidiatly started picking up their things, while repeatedly syaing 'sorry'. Jack and Derek aftercleaning up their possessions , helped Emily and Sam up. Jack and Derek said,"Emily, Sam you guys don't need to apologize, we know it was just an accident."Of course Jes and her friends saw everything, and now started to call Emily and Sam rude names.

Jack and Derek were never around when Jes said these rude names, so they never heard them, until the night of the dance.

***The night of the dance***

That Friday night was the dance. Emily and Sam didn't have anyone ask them, so they went with their friends. The gym was packed; when they walked in they saw their school colors on the walls, light blue and white, and between the light colors of the walls were the deep blues, dark purples, mistic greens, and mysterious blacks of the girls dresses. The masks of the people dancing were outstanding, no-one knew who was behind them. The guys wore matching colors that corresponded with their dates. Everyone danced gracefully, but the most surprising thing was the guys acted like proper gentlemen.

Emily and Sam were so excited, they were trying to discover who wore which masks. They didn't even notice, when Jes and her little posse walking towards them. When Jes stopped in front of them is when the name calling started. Emily and Sam's smiles slowly started fading, and they realized someone, more specifically two someones, were standing behind Jes . Jes never realized 'they' were standing behind her, but her friends noticed. Jack and Derek were standing directly behind her the whole time, and the only time she noticed was when a low, deep 'egmegm' came. Emily and Sam automatically knew who was standing behind Jes, by the strange look on her face.

"I thought you said you were mature, and past the immature name calling." said Jack angrily.

Jes turned around stunned, that she had gotten caught.

"Jack told me how mature he thought you were, but I guess he was way wrong." said Derek, sounding very annoyed.

Jes couldn't find anything to say because she knew she got caught in her own lies.
