Chapter twenty-five

Madison was bored. Bored of Simonetta, bored of Cam not paying her any attention and definitely bored of that stupid dork Sapphire, who was still here, hanging round like a bad smell. She’d deal with Sapphire later, but right now Madison needed a different game plan. She had to elevate herself above the competition.

Her friend Tiffani had started Facebooking her to see what she’d been up to. Madison had told her she was at a health spa in Europe, but Tiffani had a nose like a bloodhound and she wasn’t buying it. There were only so many facials a girl could have.

After waving her cell around irritably – like, why couldn’t Brad do something about the signal out here? – Madison finally found a bar by standing on a chair by the bathroom window. She dialled Tiffani’s number and waited. The phone was snatched up after two rings.

‘Madison! Oh my God. Chelsea and me were starting to think you’d died or something,’

‘Oh, well, you know.’

‘Stop being all mysterious. Where are you? Chelsea asked her mom about the place you told her you’re staying at and it’s, like, only five hundred dollars a night! Total Poorsville. So we know you’re lying.’

Madison pulled a face. She’d plucked the name out of the air when Tifffani had asked her. She hoped it hadn’t got out amongst too many of her friends.

‘Tiff, can you keep a secret? I mean, a big secret? If it gets out it will be so, so bad!’

‘Oh my God!’ squealed Tiffani. ‘You’ve totally just got a part in The Hills!’

‘No, it’s not that,’ Madison said hastily. ‘What I’m about to tell you, you have to keep secret. Cross your heart?’

‘Hope to die! Come on, Madison – tell me!’

‘I am in Europe, but not Switzerland like I said. I’m in Capri.’

‘In what?’

‘Capri. It’s an Italian island,’ Madison said patronisingly, as if she’d known where it was before. She paused, milking the drama. ‘The reason I’m here is because I’m staying at Brad Masters’ private villa.’

Tiffani gave a sharp intake of breath. ‘Brad Masters? But why are you there?’

Madison savoured the moment. ‘Because, dear Tiff, I’ve just found out he’s my real dad!’

There was silence at the other end as Tiffani’s brain struggled to take it all in.

‘Shut up!’

‘I’m, like, totally serious! I found out a couple weeks ago.’

‘Oh my God, bitch!’

‘Totally! But you have to swear not to tell anyone. If this gets out, it’ll be, like, huge.’

‘I’ll take it to my grave. O.M.G, this is way beyond exciting!’

Madison crumpled up a page of her Vogue, making a crackling sound. ‘Tiff, I’m losing you…’ She pushed the red button and cut the call off. She gave a satisfied smile and looked out the window. Tiffani was the biggest rumour-slut on the Upper East Side. The story would be out there in hours.
