“This is who I am. This is what I love. This is who I am. I know that I can do it, and it’s what I want to do more than anything. And I realize I have to do anything I can to make it happen, even if it means leaving other things behind.”
Alex Flinn, Diva
“If I had an opportunity like this, I’d drop you so fast…”. I laugh. “At least you’re honest.”

And I realize that yeah, she really is. That’s the thing about having real friends like Gigi and Sean. You feel like you can tell them the truth about stuff in your life, and they won’t rag on you or try and use it against you, or try to talk you out of it because it doesn’t fit with what they want. If I’d never come to this school, I wouldn’t have ever had that.”

“I guess it felt … nice having someone like that, someone wealthy, wanting me like that. He made me feel…” She shrugs.

I remember the feeling I always had, walking arm-in-arm with Nick at school.

“Valuable,” I say, brushing on the base eye shadow. “He made you feel valuable.”

She nods. “Yeah. I guess that’s it.”

I say, “I think that you are way too valuable for Arnold Mikloshevsky and his clammy hands.”


She nods. “I know you’re right. But sometimes it’s hard to believe that. It’s so hard to find someone who loves you for yourself, and not just because you’re pretty or act the way they want you to act.”

I think of Sean. I have that with him. Yes, he’s a friend, but he’s a good friend.

“Are you okay?” I say.

She nods. “I think I’m getting better.” She takes out a different lipstick and holds it near my face, then recaps it. “Oh, Caitlin, he really was a toady little man, wasn’t he? Every time he kissed me, I’d think, Valerie McCourt, has it really come to this?”

I giggle, then stop myself. “He kept looking at my boobs.”

“Mine too—and he had some boobs of his own, let me tell you!”

“But I’m thinking that sounds about right. All my life, Mom’s been trying to impress some guy—first my dad, then other guys. She even flirts with guys I bring home. It’s like love is a competitive sport for her and she needs to win to feel good.”
Alex Flinn, Diva
