Do they have really ask someone else to butter their muffins? The It Girl table looks so cool and sparkly (probably because of all the glitter lip gloss) that sitting there seems like the best thing in the world.

Being in a girl clique isn’t all about examining your nail beds and shopping at the mall. Believe it or not, the It Girl table isn’t the only place to be. The world is a giant cafeteria and there are tons of tables you can choose from.
