After graduation, she was spun off to The Hills, moved to L.A., landed an internship at Teen Vogue and made new friends. There's frenemy Heidi Montag, with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Spencer Pratt, the social-climbing Laddie Macbeth who drove a wedge between her and Lauren; Audrina Patridge, Lauren's less confident wing woman; Whitney Port, her levelheaded confidante and co-worker at a fashion-p.r. firm.
