I feel sorry for Laura because she can't have what she wants when she wants it like most of the girls at Tate. Especially this year, with all the sweet 16's going on Laura feels more left out than ever.First off Laura's house isn't top notch, she lives in downtown New York, while all her friends live uptown, where it's normal to see eight or nine zeros following a one in their bank account.
"Unlike my house, where you just have to call up-because our intercom doesn't work we buzz anyone in (probably knife-wielding serial killers)- getting into Whitney's Park Avenue pad is like trying to penetrate the Pentagon."I feel like I can relate to Laura in the sense that alot of my friends have more money then me. My parents are divorced so we typically bring in about half of a normal family's income. This makes me feel left out when I can't do something because it's too expensive. Laura also has this happen when Sophie and Whitney go shopping.
"Laura," said Sophie, turning my way before hitting the dressing room herself. "Aren't you gonna try anything on? I'm feeling those lacey chemists are so you!" "Oh, no, I'm all set," I said, somewhat self-consciously."These girls are whipping out their credit clothes while Laura watches. Laura also has an amazing talent for designing and sewing her own cards, this makes me feel happy for Laura because she doesn't have to feel like she doesn't dress well.
"Really, Laura, remind me to call Calvin Klien. He's a dear friend of my mom's. I totally want to link you two up. You could design for him one day," said Sophie." "Laura's going to be a major designer," added Whitney."
The End
