A/n: I do not own the Clique just the idea.
I know I have been absent for awhile now and I am truly sorry for my fellow readers/reviewers because you did not deserve it. You guys are simply amazing, but I have some bad news this will more likely be my last FFnet fic. I have still been on FFnet reading amazing stories but it has come to my attention that some are unfortunate to have someone else steal their story from them and nothing has happened as in consequences. I can't imagine having someone steal my story and it pains to me even more to know that there is really no stopping it. So I think it is time to bid adieu to FFnet after this story. For all my stories still in progess they may never be finished unless I get inspiration for them until then this is my main focus.
Thank you all for the years of support,
Peace, love, and Halo.
The Innocence of Being Young
Kristen Gregory bounded for her first class of her last year in high school. She is finally about to be done with this drama filled school that has ruined so many people that are super close to her. Kristen looked at her old friend Claire Lyons, the school's slut and to think their freshmen year Claire wanted nothing to do with being the stereotypical label given to her. Now Claire doesn't even have an innocent bone in her body, she only wants one thing from guys and that is sex. Kristen spotted Alicia Rivera the bitch of the school; Alicia used to be so nice and caring but now she can be trusted by no one for she will leave any friend high and dry only for one brief moment in the spotlight.
Dylan Marvil has transformed into the new Queen bee of Briarwood Octavian Day High School and she did not care one bit that she hurt her best friend in the process. All she wanted was the guys to drool over presence so that she can finally feel "pretty" in their eyes instead of being in Massie Block's shadow for the rest of her life. Speaking of Massie, she has grown into her unlikely fate of being the bad ass of high school. Massie's loser boyfriend Landon Crane is ten times worse than Kemp ever was to Massie. Kristen knows something else is going beside Landon being a total prick, but Massie never talks to her any of her former friends anymore.
As for Kristen Gregory she has turned into somewhat of a tomboy and the only reason being is because she doesn't want to end up like her former friends. They all are upset over what happened a couple years ago, how a little harmless lie broke their friendship forever.
Flashback
"Can you believe that we will be juniors next fall?" Claire said totally psyched about being one step away from ruling the school. Sophomore year had flown by so fast that it felt like they were rushing to grow up and move out of their parent's home.
"I know it is so crazy." Dylan agreed as she munched down a Luna bar. She doesn't understand how Massie can eat these things all the time.
"So what has everyone been up to lately while I have been gone?" Massie asked curiously, she had just gotten back from her trip to Europe with Alicia two days ago.
"I have been hanging out with the guys mostly because Cam is always with them." Claire said anxiously and they all groaned as they knew she is just beginning to talk about Cam and pretty soon they will fall sleep as she rants on about him.
"I have been working out with my mom and spending most of my time with her." Dylan said so Claire couldn't keep going on and on about Cam.
"Let's see I have been dating Josh, hanging out with my mom, and staying loyal to my best friend," Alicia paused and narrowed her eyes at Kristen. "What have you been up to Kristen? Jetting off to California last time I checked."
Massie looked devastated when Alicia said "California" knowing the only reason Kristen would go down there would be to see Derrick. It is the ultimate betrayal in Massie's eyes.
"You're a bitch Alicia. Massie it's not what it seems-"she was interrupted by Massie.
"Get out all of you." Massie said pointing to her bedroom door, she couldn't believe they would do this to her.
"Mass come on, we're your best friends." Dylan protested.
"I have no friends." Massie said icily. She feels absolutely betrayed by the ones she trusted the most out of everyone else in her life.
"You know what Massie? You don't deserve any friends because all you do is step all over them," Dylan said furiously. "Who wants to be friends with a stuck up bitch? Not me so this is it Massie, I am done with you stupid shit."
Massie was speechless, for once in her life she did not have a sassy comeback to retort back to Dylan. She knew very well that Dylan was right, she doesn't deserve any friends.
"You're right" the former ice queen said but it was muffled behind the slamming door. She was ruined inside and out.
End of Flashback
"Hey Kris, what's up?" Cam asked his best friend and now girlfriend as she walked up to him and his friends.
"Nothing really, just been thinking about how everyone has changed." Kristen told her boyfriend then she planted a soft kiss on his lips. He held her in a tight embrace then let go and held her hand as they both knew this year is about to bring a lot of drama.
"I really don't think he knows what he is getting himself into."
"He will know soon enough what he is getting himself into and very quickly I might add." Cam said to Kristen as if they it was just the two of them in the hallway.
"What the hell are you two talking about well more importantly whom?" Kemp asked anxiously dying to know what they already clearly knew.
"I think it would be unfair to tell you ourselves when he can tell you himself." Kristen said mysteriously as she looked past them with a smirk on her lips.
"Cam, I think that your girlfriend has officially gone crazy." Josh said seriously as he stared at Kristen who was making no sense whatsoever.
"Kristen was talking about how I can tell you myself that I am back in Westchester for my senior year." A voice said behind them.
They all looked behind them to see no other than Derrick Luke Harrington in the flesh staring right back at them.
"So where is everyone else?" Derrick asked knowing half of the group was missing but he didn't know that everyone else changed drastically.
"Derrick about that, I have been meaning to tell you…" Kristen stopped dead in her tracks; her face flushed. She cannot believe her own eyes.
"Well, well, well look what the cat dragged in." a voice pierced from directly behind Derrick, he turned around to see a short brunette in a purple dress and black high heels.
"Massie is that really you?" he asked surprised.
"Yes and for your information I am taken," Massie paused looking him directly in the eye for her final blow. "I will never crawl back to a piece of shit like you so don't even try because I don't want to you."
"What happened to you? You have never been this cold before."
"You happened to me and people change Derrick, did you honestly expect me to stay that little innocent girl that you knew?" and with that said she walked away with her head held high knowing she would never be the same easily manipulated girl she used to be.
"You should have told me she was that bad." Derrick said furious at both Kristen and Cam for not telling him she had gone back to her old ways.
"She would have never been like this if you wouldn't have broken her heart," Kemp steamed mad at Derrick for hurting Massie. "She was invincible before you came along and if we would have never broken up then she still would be."
Derrick could not believe his own ears, had his supposedly good friend just say he was a bad guy? That he was worse than Kemp ever was to Massie? Kemp had indeed said those things and he was right.
When you're young you are naïve and innocent. This is the year when you are no longer still young enough to be those things. This year the past will be put to rest and the fights will cease to exist because you are only young for a short time. Good luck boys and girls as you endure your senior year with emotion, expectations, and realizations.
