The only thing harder than getting in is staying in.
The Clique
Massie Block: It's her final year of high school, therefore her final year before she heads off to one of the top schools on her University list- Yale, Princeton, Harvard, La Sorbonne, or Cambridge. While all her friends are worried about petty high school dramas, Massie has other things on her mind, things that are slightly less trivial. For instance, her boyfriend of two and a half years broke up with her during the summer, and instead of spending the time getting over him like she told her friends she was, Massie has only gotten sucked into a downward spiral. She knows she has to suck up everything going on in her life before they go away on their senior trip to London but Massie isn't so sure she can at this point.
As for her social standing, she is not simply Alpha of her high school, but a photographed socialite amongst her piers in Westchester. She is constantly attending, and having snapshots taken of her at events in the City. Everyone knows Massie Block, fears Massie Block, and respects Massie Block.
Dylan Marvil: Massie's fiery red headed Beta. It's her final year and she is determined to seal the deal with her long time crush Wesley Henneson. But the more caught up she gets with Wes, the more she can't help but notice that her Alpha is starting to lose control of herself. Dylan knows how to cover everything up, how to keep Massie going, but she isn't sure how to help her. So on top of trying to win over Wes, save Massie, and do well in school, Dylan now has the added pressure of making sure their first of many senior trips goes according to plan.
Claire Lyons: Massie's best friend by email, phone, and occasional visits. When Claire was offered another role in a movie, and then a role on a hit television show, she took the parts and found herself relocating to Los Angeles. Of course Massie constantly walks the red carpet with her and attends premieres, but Massie and Claire don't see each other often. Claire has a busy life, especially with her newest boyfriend Anthony Pryce, her co-star on the show. Now Claire can't wait because she finally got permission to book of a week of her show to join her friends in London, England. Unfortunately, she must deal with her new boyfriend, her ex boyfriend, and her struggling best friend.
Delia Lafoix: A Parisian princess. Not literally, but she might as well be. Her father is involved in French politics and while he is busy changing France, Delia and her mother are busy changing Westchester. When she first came, she was just another stylish girl- much to her dismay- but after shadowing Massie Block for a week, she found herself with an exclusive invite to Massie's infamous Friday night sleepovers. Suddenly, everyone knew her name and was asking her for her opinion… specifically on boys. Delia, with her long golden brown hair and big blue eyes, has guys falling for her everywhere she goes, and she falls for them frequently too. But never anything serious, until she meets Chris Plovert. Now her biggest problem is how does she juggle her love for Chris and her love for guys loving her.
Alicia Riviera: Was once Massie's loyal Beta. But of course she attempted again to outshine her best friend, and again, she failed. Now Alicia is stuck being a second string Alpha- she's head of the cheerleading squad. Too bad being a cheerleader means absolutely nothing in the posh county of Westchester. It's now senior year and Alicia has finally learned that unless she follows Massie, she'll never be the top, but sometimes you just can't go back. Alicia has now accepted her place as Cheerleader head, leader of all the second rate pretty but ditzy girls. And though Alicia has come to love her life, the constant partying and attention from boys, she still misses the glory of being part of Massie's crew. But now that Massie is falling, can she find a way back in?
Kristen Gregory: Everyone knew she had attitude, but no one expected her ditching the former PC for her new clique… at public school. Not being able to afford the elite private school, nor being able to attain a scholarship, was the last straw for Kristen. Instead of being another follower at her public school, she decided to take charge- but that could only mean only one thing, cutting Massie loose. And since taking over the Alpha spot at Westchester High, Kristen has turned into a royal bitch, and one that better hopes she doesn't cross paths with her former friends.
Josh Hotz: The male Alpha of Essex Academy, co Ruler, and best friend of Massie Block. Josh is the hottest guy in school, one of the smartest, and though not many know it, one of the nicest too. He has been best friends with Massie since the beginning of sophomore year, and from the day she sat beside him in English, they've been unimaginably close. Now it's senior year and Josh just wants to relax and enjoy it with their select group of friends. Unfortunately, Massie is out of control and everyone is crazy busy trying to take care of her, putting a real damper on Josh's plans of asking Dylan out. He knows Dylan is absolutely obsessed with his good friend Wes, but something about the redhead makes his heart beat fast every time she walks in the room. How will he manage getting her to fall for him while taking care of Massie?
Cam Fisher: What happened to this gorgeous brunette? Though he used to only wear his brother's bad-boy leather jacket, he has now adopted the attitude and reputation to go with it. He was dumped ruthlessly by his ex girlfriend Claire, and instead of sympathetic friends, he was met with ones who were too busy involved in their own dramas. For Cam, that was it- the end. By sophomore year, he was hardly in speaking terms with any of them. His new group of friends listened, and when anything unfortunate happed (which they often did), they offered him a way out. But over the summer, his new best friend started hiding something from him… something that Cam is sure revolves around a girl. Can he sober himself up to figure it out?
Chris Plovert: Though he is still friends with Josh, Massie, and the group, he has other things on his mind… like getting into University and student council. That's right, Chris got his act together and was voted student body president, something he is very proud of. But the pressure is getting to him, and throughout all the stress, a pretty girl is constantly trying to get his attention, despite his best efforts not to give it.
Kemp Hurley: Though he still talks to the guys in gym class, he decided to join the lacrosse team- a team that sticks together. So though he does see his friends, he really never has time for them between practices and his girlfriend Maya.
Derrick Harrington: Last spotted in some boarding school overseas. No one really knows where because he doesn't stay in touch. After him and Massie split (long distance was bound to fail) and Cam started using, he stopped bothering with everyone. He left after freshman year, and instead of coming home on holidays, he spent it with his family traveling, or with his girlfriend Gemma at her country house. One can only imagine what would happen if he saw his old friends and girlfriend again.
Wesley Henneson: The new guy. Or was. Now he doesn't feel so new, though there are a lot of feelings that are definitely virgin territory to him, such as his feelings for his English teacher. She's young, sweet, and model-pretty. And when she invites him over for dinner, what's a boy to do?
Jake Moore: Who is he? Who cares! That's the attitude most people take when it comes to him. Until the summer happened. At a bar one night, he ran into the girl of his dreams who would usually never give him the time of day. She was desperate for an escape… and he was it. But now that school has started again, he's fighting to hold on to the first girl he's ever cared about. He knows deep down that he's not helping her, that she's only getting worse, but he's too selfish to ever give her up. But with his best friend Cam sniffing around, trying to figure out what's so different, he may not have a choice.
