So there's this book series called The Clique and I absolutely love it. And so I thought what if some wacky chick from California came to
town and shook things up? And what if the girl was Claire's cousin? And of course Massie is determined to not let her take over her
finally perfect life just in case she's another Nina. And so our story begins in Westchester and Claire and Massie are in Massie's room
checking Claire's e-mails. Set near the end of the Clique's eighth grade year.

Claire was on Massie's Mac checking her emails after when--
"OH MY GOD!!!!" Claire shrieked.
Massie rushed over to her, eyes wide. "What? What is it?"
Claire smiled and pointed a finger at the giant screen.
Massie read:
TO:
SUBJECT: Guess What?
Claire!!! You'll never guess what happened today! I finally convinced my parents to let me visit you! But wait! There's more!! I'm staying with you f or the last two weeks of your school year PLUS the summer!!!! How cool is that?! Mom already confirmed with Aunt Judi and I'll be there is *drum roll* four days! Isn't that awesome?! OF COURSE IT IS!!!! See you in a few!
Love, love, love, love,
RORY!!!!!
"Who's Rory?" asked Massie.
"My cousin from California",Claire said excitedly,"Me and her haven't seen each other in forever!"
"Oh great!" Massie said sarcastically"Another Nina". But in her head she was disappointed. The last time one of her friend's family members had
visited her way of life had almost been destroyed. The last thing she needed now that everything was perfect was another skanky poser to shake things
up. Who knew what a girl from California could do? She glanced at Claire who had a ridiculously big smile on her pale face. She sighed and smoothed out
the nonexistent wrinkles on her silk maroon boy shorts.
"No! Rory is totally cool! Not at all like Nina, I swear!" Claire's face the pure picture of mock seriousness and had her right hand raised. Massie rolled
her eyes.
"I hope not for my--I mean our sake". The last thing she needed was a boy-snatcher, especially after she and Derrington had reconciled. Claire
looked up from the screen. The ghost of a smile on her face. She bit her lip.
"She really isn't like Nina" Claire said softly.
"Alright" Massie sighed "But if she takes a single step toward my territory I will crush her without ANY hesitation".
Claire gulped. Massie's voice was cold and hard and so were her amber-flecked eyes. She wasn't kidding and Claire knew it.
So yeah that's it. My first chapter. Thoughts?
