Disclaimer: Characters so do not belong to me. All belong to Lisi Harrison, and a bit of the plot too. But Claire is a bit... different. I had to change her personality to make this story work.

Summary: A different version (very similar writing-wise) of the Clique. I don't like Claire, but I figure I should give writing fanfiction a try.

---

Massie Block: Ruler of The Clique and the rest of the social scene at Octavian Country Day School, in Westchester. She knows everybody would love to be her.

Dylan Marvil: Has to fit into those skinny Seven jeans. Must stay away from those cherries.

Alicia Rivera: Massie's hot Spanish follower. Secretly wants to take Massie's throne. Ha, just might.

Kristen Gregory: Smart and hardworking. Her "Glambition" project for school isn't turning out so well, until Claire comes.

Claire Lyons: The new girl from Florida in old Gap overalls and white Keds – ew, totally nawt Clique material! She has to stay at Massie's huge estate while her family looks for a new home. In that time though, the Clique could "Glambitionize" her for Kristen's project...

The Block Estate

Massie's Bedroom

12:30 P.M.

September 1st

Massie swung around in her white swivel chair from her computer to her bed, facing Bean, her dog.

"Bean," she said, holding her up so she met her eyes, "I can-nawt believe this is happening! I already have to skip my Labor Day shopping spree with my friends! But at least they understand."

Bean licked her wrist in return.

"Without this shopping spree, someone's going to get that lip gloss i I /i found in that Cosmo magazine. " Massie wailed. "But I suppose what's-her-name could become a friend... Ehmagawd, what if she has some kind of terrible disease?" she exclaimed, deep in thought.

The doorbell rang. Putting Bean down, Massie got up from her chair and tiptoed to her bedroom window to see if it really was the Lyons that had arrived. She watched as a girl about her age step out of the Block's limo. Suddenly, the girl looked up, straight at Massie's window. Massie ducked, and losing her balance landed on her plush carpet with a hard crash. Rubbing her knee, she got up and dusted herself off before peeking out the window again – this time behind the curtains, where anybody was less likely to find her from outside.

Kendra and William, Massie's parents, stepped outside to greet the girl's parents and a little boy who had been poking at their garden, probably searching for bugs. The thought made Massie cringe. She watched them pull him from the dirt and walk into the house.

"Massie," Kendra's voice called over the intercom, "The Lyons are here, come and greet them!"

Looking at the white speaker by the bed, Massie rolled her eyes and walked over to her bathroom, checking to see if her "first-impression" outfit was okay. She straightened her Hermes scarf (used as a belt, of course), checked to see if her satin mini skirt wasn't rumpled, sprayed a bit more of her Chanel No. 19 perfume onto her wrists, and slicked a coat of her new lemon flavored Glossip Girl lip gloss onto her lips. Flipping her hair and giving a last shake to her charm bracelet that dangled from her thin wrist, she posed in front of the mirror.

"Wish me luck," she told Bean, who had been lying stomach-up on her bed right next to Massie's. Selecting a pair of Prada flip-flops from her closet, she airily walked out of the room and downstairs.

Author's note: I'll make the chapters longer – don't worry. Please read and review! (Yes, I know it sounds like the book so far.) And FYI, in my fanfic, Massie already has Glossip Girl lip gloss because it's just so cool. 
