Times are changing for The Clique…

Massie Block: Just got sent to boarding school in Switzerland. Definitely not bad news for her, seeing as her aunts let her do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. Combine that with the fact that all cool, up-coming designers test their fashions on Swiss hotties, the guys there are too ah-dorable for words, and delish Swiss chocolate comes in low-cal version and you have your basic ah-mazing new life. If only that came without the pressure of having to choose OCD's new eighth-grade alpha…

Kristen Gregory: Pretty pissed off that she wasn't even considered for the new alpha position. No worries though, she's made amends with Massie, who consoled her with the fact that even though Kristen may not be the popularity leader, she sure is the alpha on the soccer field. With that in mind, she practices her dribbling and free kicks 24-7. If she wasn't so obsessed with soccer, she just might notice a certain cutie's attention she was catching.

Alicia Rivera: Now that Massie's gone, it's prime time for her take over as the new alpha. Plus, she's everything an alpha should be: rich, beautiful, popular, and love for herself, shopping, Starbuck's, and her very exclusive friends. So why on earth would Massie, her best friend since birth, actually expect her to compete with Kuh-laire, the Keds-R-Us spokesperson, for the spot of alpha?

Dylan Marvil: Also a bit pissed for not being put in the running for alpha position. Now that the full impact of Massie's absence has hit her, she's devastated. Now who was supposed to tell her how thin she looked whenever she went on one of her crazy diet ideas? Instead of drowning her sorrows in crème brulèe, she's doing the complete opposite. Anorexia over being overweight? I just don't think so.

Claire Lyons: Couldn't believe that Massie would go all pyro over her stuff. Now that that's over, she can't believe she could actually be a contender for the coveted spot of alpha. In fact, she was actually thinking of giving up! Layne, of all alpha-hating people, persuaded her to stay in the competition by telling her of how Claire could give equal rights to LBRs and EWs. Oh yeah, as if that's going to go over well with Massie.
