I can't believe how happy I was a week ago - before the Unicorn Club left for our skiing trip. I was totally psyched to snuggle by the fire with Curtis Bowman, my new boyfriend. And I couldn't wait to hang out with Rachel Grant, the newest Unicorn. We'd really hit it off. In fact, we'd even joked about how much fun it would be if her dad and my mom, who are both chaperoning the trip, got married. Then Rachel and I could be sisters!
Some joke that's turning out to be. To our suprise, Mr. Grant and my mom have gotten together . . . and now Rachel's saying that my mom isn't good enough for her dad. Well, I told her the real problem: her dad isn't good enough for my mom! Now Rachel swears she's going to get back at me . . .
Did I say I wanted Rachel for a sister? The truth is, I never want to see her again!
"We're even now, Ellen Riteman," Rachel seethes. "You and Curtis ruined my life. Now I'm ruining yours. And, I might add, busting up a very uncool romance. My dad is way to good for your mom."
Ellen's lip quivered. Her eyelids fluttered down. There was a long silence. Rachel felt pretty sure that Ellen was about to burst into tears. But she didn't care. Ellen could cry all day and night if she wanted to. She'd asked for it. And she'd gotten it.
When Ellen lifted her eyes, though, she wan't crying. "As president of the Unicorn Club," she said in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible, "I make a motion to drop Rachel Grant as a member. Does anybody second the motion?"
Rachel lifted her lip and sneered. "Like they're gonna side with you. Grow up, Ellen. It's never gonna happen. Not when they're in my ski condo."
Mandy lifted her chin and put a hand on Ellen's shoulder. "I second the motion."
"All in favour," Kimberly said in a grim tone.
"Aye," every single girl said quietly.
