“So! Tell me,” Riley Haddix sighed after taking a sip from her glass of champagne. “How many have you had tonight?”
I poured myself some of my family’s 1987 champagne before I replied, “How many what?”
“Shots! What else could I be talking about!?” Riley laughed.
“How am I supposed to know what you’re talking about if you didn’t say so!” I said, “but then, how am I supposed to know how many shot’s I’ve had? Ten? Maybe fifteen?”
Riley laughed again and leaned back on my shoulders, sighing, “I think I’m drunk. If I’m drunk, I’m going to get Lex to carry me all the way home!”
I giggled at the crazy thought of Alexis Penvensie walking down Fifth Avenue in his brand new suit with Riley Haddix on his back.
“Well then it’s good that you’re staying over then, won’t want to ruin Lex’s suit for him would we?” I rolled my eyes at the reminder of Lex’s earlier comment about his new Gucci suit. Riley let out a few drunken giggles that satisfied my need for a response.
“Come on, we’ll have to get you fixed before everyone starts arriving, k?” I hooked my arm around the crook of hers and pulled her away from the booze table. Riley’s glass tipped as she got dragged away by me, the booze inside tipped dangerously close to my dress.
“Hey! Watch it! You’re drunk before the others here, I don’t want you to ruin my dress also!” I snapped.
For my annual mid-term soiree this year, I’m dressed in a black pre-release strapless from the new line of Riley’s designer brand, Secret Admirer. It has been a gift from Riley, for celebrating the first of her new dresses made, but the actual thing would cost around 800 dollars, so I didn’t want to ruin it on my first day wearing it. My shoes were also Secret Admirer, golden kitten heels from Mysterious, the same line as my dress; I didn’t want to ruin those either. At least not before the party started, after the party, my outfit will probably be stained with fruit punch and my mom’s fine scotch and will need to be brought to the dry cleaner’s and then made another permanent installation to my closet gallery.
Just then, the doors to the Petrelli Ballroom swung open and the “others” I was talking about walked into the room in their official unofficial order.
The “official unofficial order” is an unwritten rule that derives from the SSS, social seating system, at school. There’s a certain order that we all have to walk in, sit it, have sleepovers in. Something that the Upper East Side princes and princesses invented way before our time, it might sound cliquey and all, but it is important that everyone knows their place.
The boys always walk in front of the girls, for some reason, in the order of their power inside our Inner Circle. At the very back is Eric Ross, son of the Olympic Gold Medal winning ice-skater Charles Ross and Olympic Gymnast Arieda Shamhil Ross, star skater of our skating club. Next to him is Nathaniel Huard, junior varsity football team captain and son of Navy captain William Huard and society hostess Clio DeVrio Huard. In front of them is Nicholas Halloway, the notorious playah/rich jerk, and sole heir of the Halloway Leather fortune. Then there is Alexis Penvensie, Riley’s boyfriend, my guy best friend, all-around do-gooder, young master of the House of Penvensie, future CEO of the Penvensie International Bank. Loyal best friend of the King, Christopher Woodsen.
Now the thing about Christopher “Magnet” Woodsen is that he is everything his posse is and more, meaning: annoyingly smart, girl magnet, Class A at school…everything. His only flaw was that he came from a nouveau riche family, who made their fortune of Real Estate development. He’s New York’s most celebrated bachelor, the one that every family with daughters has already planned as their future son-in-law. Old families always marry within themselves, but then, I guess they would make an exception for Magnet.
The girls walking behind them certainly would. Nadia de la Cruz, younger daughter of the Sir Jean-Pierre and Lady Aurelia de la Cruz, the French Baron and Baroness, has been wanting to date Magnet since the beginning of time, but the Baron had disagreed and forbade her to date anyone but Nobles. Danielle Bishop, ice-skating girl girlfriend of Eric Ross, second child of Dr. and Mrs. Allen Bishop, a head doctor in Lenox Hill Hospital, was known to have a crush on Magnet before she started dating Eric last year. Rachelle Halley, daughter of airline CEO Leonard Halley and society hostess Marian Halley, was the only exceptions on the M-admirer list.
