My Clique (Episode 2)

The last bell rang. As all the students piled out of their homerooms, Stacey went to her locker to get the books she would need for her homework. As she tried her combination, she felt eyes watching her. Then someone said "Hey, Stacey." Stacey turned around and found Jessica, Amy, and Sally leaning on one leg watching her with a smile. "Hi," was all she said. "Why don't you hang with us today? We're really sorry about the way we acted this morning," Amy said.
"Yeah, I was just upset because I've never been away from Amy and Sally. It's the first time in our school lives." She made a sad face and Stacey felt sorry for her. "Sure, I'd love to come over," she said smiling. She closed her locker and pushed her brown hair out of her face.
"Great," said Sally, "Just call your mom." They waited for Stacey, but she just stared back at them. "Um," she said, "I don't have a cell phone." Jessica and her friends began to laugh. They couldn't stop until Stacey cleared her throat. "Oh, we're SO sorry!" Jessica said with a small smile. "Here. Just borrow mine." She placed her $200 phone into Stacey's clammy hands and grinned.
Soon, all four girls were sitting at the dinning room table at Jessica's mansion. They were eating pizza and drinking soda. Stacey had never had so much pizza just for a snack. She really envied Jessica. Jessica, Amy, and Sally were talking about this dance that they were going to have at the local dance place. "Can i come?" Stacey asked as she wiped her mouth.
The girls exchanged looks. Finally Amy said "Sorry, Stacey. But you're not part of 'the' group. You have to earn it."

Stacey felt her cheeks burning. "How can i do that?"
"You can start with the pizza," Jessica said with an evil grin.
