Chapter 1 of Slumming

Juliet Varietta was the daughter of one of the richest, and most sought after, lawyers. She lived in a house of extreme splendor, wore the fanciest and most fashionable attire, and was best friends with the daughter of the second most sought after Lawyer.

Sherry Conway was almost exactly opposite of Juliet. While Juliet was dark haired and diamond eyed, Sherry was fair, with dark, fierce eyes.

Their looks were carbon copies of theirpersonalities. Juliet was wild and almost unattainable, like her striking features, while Sherry was quiet and sweet, toned down like her own looks. But, both had a rather charming quality.

It was two weeks before their coming out party, that Juliet was hit with a rather, in her opinion, splendid idea.

"Who are you going to our party with?" Juliet asked, that familiar mischievous glint in her clear gray eyes.

"I don't know. My father mentioned Samuels asking me, but...it's Samuels." Sherry replied, setting down her favorite novel, a rather worn copy of Jany Eyre.

Juliet nodded, smiling along, "You know, I have been struck with a most wonderful idea."

Her friend looked on, a slight cautious look upon her features. "What?"

"I think we should go slumming!" Juliet said excitedly, keeping it to a whisper and jumping up.

"Slumming? That's a rather vulgar word. Where'd you pick it up?"

Juliet rolled her eyes and waved her hands, "I came up with it. It all happened on the way over here. I was just strolling along when a cute Newsboy asked me if I wanted to buy a 'pape.' So I bought one, and then, when I walked away, it hit me. Why not fix up a couple Newsboys and make them our dates! Nobody would ever know! We could say they are brothers from out west! And, they recently hit a ton of money, and they came to New York!"

Sherry listened, and then finally spoke up, "You don't think, Juliet. What about the Newsboys? Why in the world would they want to go waltzing around with two silly girls to a party full of rich old snobs?"

The dark haired girl heaved a sigh, "I did think about that Sher. We could just pay them. We have more then enough money."

So, it was decided that the two would go out the next day, and find two very cute newsboys...

A/N: Hey! This is my first fanfic, so please be nice! And I'd love for lotsa reviews to tell me what ya think about the first chapter. It's basically just an epilogue, so the other chapters will be much longer! Also, please don't judge the Juliet to quickly, she's rich and she doesn't know any better, ((sigh))

Also, please go check out my other fic, Twilight.

Disclaimer: For this entire fanfic, I do not own the characters you recognize, and I'll only take half the credit for the plot. The word slumming (and the title), and getting to know people you normally wouldn't comes from the wonderful writer Kristen D. Randle. She's got GREAT books so go and read them!
