LOPEZ RESIDENCE

BASEMENT

FRIDAY, AUG.17

4:00 PM

"WHY ARE THE LIGHTS OUT?" KELLY ASKED.

"You'll see." Angela said, trying her best to not sound excited.

When they got to the middle of the Lopez basement, Ashley clap her hands twice and the lights came on.

"Wow." Kelly said.

"Ah-mazing, isn't it?" Ashley asked, looking proud of her work.

"Oh yeah." Kelly said.

They were sorrounded by the school colors. There's a plasma tv hanging on the wall in front of them, under it is the chimeny, on both sides of it are shelves filled with books and notebooks. To their left is a red mini-fridge, han selected by Angela, a gold candy machine, which is just brought up that mornin, and a white icecream machine, picked by Ashley, and its mostly filled with chocolate icecream, next to it are star, round, and straight sprinkles.

To the right is a sitting area. It has a big, black, three-person-sit sofa with the words, The Hot-Chikas, on them in the three school color, and two, black, arm sofas facing each other with the initials THC on them in the school colors. In the middle of them both is a tea table full of papers of clothes designes, made by Ashley.

"This is were all our cool stuff have been since the third grade." Angela said, slowly turning Kelly around.

"Wait." Kely said. "Either your having party and you want me to decorate or I'm in." Kelly said, after she took the middle-school-party room.

"You're in."Ashley said. "We soo don't put GWL's to decorate our secrate lair."

"But this is where you have your parties." Kelly said, obviusly confused.

"No." Ashley clap her hands twice again. "This ia were we have our parties...Oh and by the way, never, and I do mean never let anybody know when you're confuse or unsecure, or anything that can bring you down unless you're extra close to that person...Did I made myself clear?"

"Yes." Kelly said as a new room came into view.

The previous items seem to have turn around leaving the space clear for the new, more party like items.

The first thing that Kelly realized was that they weren't standing on a hardwood floor, but a soft silver-color dance floor. On top of them was a huge disco ball. The plasma and bookshelves were replaced by flags. The Dominican flag standing high in the middle, to its left is the Cuban flag, where Angela's mom's from, and-Kelly's heart stopped for a moment- to its rigth was the Boricua flag, where she's from. And replacing the candy,icecream machines, and the mini-fridge was a bar, behind it were al kind of cokes and drinks from all three countries. Outside, on the edges of the dance floor, are round tables.

"Oh." Kelly said. "Its..Um...Wow."

"Ashley clapped her hand again and went to sit on one of the arm sofa as they re-apperared. Kelly, as though driven by insticht, sat on the big arm sofa, as Angela sat on the second arm sofa.

"Rules." Ashley said. "One, all of our styles match with our body, shoes(duh),hair, lipgloss (ofcourse), and last but not least, nails."Her eyes locked on Kelly's hands.

Kelly only showed three of this things. Her red ELP shirt with a black leather jacket is too tight with her super-model figure and her blue jeans are perfect with her small butt. Her blue DADA's look a size too small, and for the type of shoes they give a good sign. Her hair was made in to a pony tail. Her lips were like hey have never seen a lipgloss. And her nails were in two different colors, one nail were black and red the other red and black.

Angela only shows four of these things, because Ashley doesn't count her hair, since its always curly, unless its a special occation. She's wearing a red top allowing only the top and bottom part of her white top to show, and sort of showing off her big boobs, and sort of not since she put a short blue jacket over it. Her new design THC dark blue jeans were a little below the waist and behind the thong of her white and red Jordans. Her nails were red wirh whire and blue liners. And her lips are glowing, as always

Ashley shows all five things. Her blue jeans make her butt look a slight bigger than the real size, it has cuts from the tighs down. A nerdy grey top looks perfect with the grey, white, and blue Jordans. Her nails are color in blue with grey flower designs. Her hairs halfway up, the rest down. And her lips were, somewhat, glowing with her, soon-to-be released in the towns cosmetics store, THC lipgloss.

Both of the girls look like supermodels slash actress.

Ashley bent down and took a large, flat, blue and red box with a gold bonnet on it and put it down on the table.

"What this box contains is officially yours." Ashley said. "You loose it, you make sure you replace it, but FYI they are one of a kind, THC materials, I designed them and asked a family friend to make them for moi."

"Open it." Angela said.

Kelly did as told. She took the box and opened it. The box contains a blue key, with a red chain, and the letters KHC in gold. After looking at the chain key for a minute, Kelly looked up at the HC with confusion, but before she could ask what it was for, both girls took out their chain key. Ashley's key is red with a gold chain and the letters AHC in blue. Angela's key is gold with a blue chain and the words AHC in red.

"They're your initials, and the key opens the back door to here so if I'm not here you can just come through the doors and get whatever you want." Ashley said, answering her unspoken question.

The second item was a gold double bracelet. The first one has three mini-Puerto Rican flags, and in the box are two more. There were also two B's.

"Flag is for were you're from and for how many members are in the HC." Angela said, showing Kelly three mini-Cuban flags. "The B's are for how many boyfriends you've had." She raised her right wrist again to show fibe B's.

Ashley didn't have any B's. It was rumored in ELP that she is gay, but Ashley send record straight and kissed a guy at a party just to shot Emma's mouth up about it.

The last item is a Sidekick LX, with gold glitter.

"that's for communication." Ashley said. "You get a sidekick because your new, after one year as a HC you getto choose yor own phone." She said, showing off her iPhone and Angela's Sidekick 3. "The number is at the back you can call anybody you want, we mainly use it for private communicatom at lunch."

"This is it...." Angela said. "Congrats, you're a HotChika."
