The Pretty Committee broke apart because of many reasons.

First, Massie Block, the bitches of all bitches, made out with Alicia's boyfriend, Cam Fisher, the cute Briarwood guy with the two different colored eyes.

Alicia started dating Massie ex, Josh Hotz, to make both Massie and Cam jealous, and it worked. She's now dating Josh Hotz, and has gotten even prettier than she ever was.

Massie dumped Cam, and hung out with Dylan Marvil, her fall back friend, and that wannabe Olivia Ryan who's IQ is 3 degrees below dog crap. Dylan is stuck because she's being blackmailed.

Claire Lyons and Kristen Gregory stayed friends with Alicia, and loathe both Massie and Dylan for the reasons.

Kristen called Dylan fat, and said she's be better off in rehab, causing the insecure red head to break down. Now, Dylan is anorexic.

Alicia and Massie are in a full on war to see who will succeed after everything that had happened their freshman year. Now, it's time to show everyone who they really are.

~How it started, and how it all shall end~

Alicia raised her glass, and gave a toast. To a life with Josh and her best friends, and a life without Massie to get in the way. Kristen Gregory, Claire Lyons, and Nikki Dalton all sat around her with Alicia's boyfriend, Josh Hotz, Kristen's boyfriend, Derrick Harrington, Claire's boyfriend, Dempsey Solomon, and Nikki's boyfriend Chris Plovert.

"Tomorrow starts our sophomore year," Alicia announced, smiling at her boyfriend, and hugging her best friends who had stuck by her, even though Massie hadn't. Alicia shook that thought out of her head, and faced her friends again. The faces of the people who liked her, and didn't think she was a slut. She was so lucky.

"We need to go shopping." Nikki stated. Nikki was the newest member of the Legacy, Alicia's Clique, and Alicia's famed beta. She had jet black hair and a devilish glint in her icy cold blue eyes. Alicia knew she had a reputation as a backstabber, but didn't really think that much about it. Yet. If Nikki ever got her paws on Josh…

"Yeah," Kristen murmured. Kristen hadn't really changed much, besides dating Derrick. Everyone knew Derrick liked Alicia, but know one said anything about it. Alicia knew Derrick would have to break up with Kristen, admitting his true feelings, and then Kristen would start sobbing, and call Alicia a boyfriend stealer. Alicia rolled her chocolate brown eyes just thinking about it. She didn't know she liked Derrick, though he was cute. He was constantly IMing her, and telling her how cute she was…She wondered how Kristen would react.

Josh suddenly jumped up, looking nervous. Alicia watched him, and then glared.

"Where are you going?" She asked suspiciously. She saw Nikki perk up, and wondered why. Josh turned to his girlfriend, and kissed her rosy cheek.

"I forgot I had to baby-sit my little sister," He answered. Alicia watched him grab his soda, and leap from his chair, like baby-sitting his sister was the best thing ever. Nikki rolled her bleu eyes, and focused on her chicken salad.

"Why do his parents make him baby-sit? It's so lame." Alicia didn't answer and watched as Derrick folded his napkin. Twice. Something was on his mind. Finally, much to Alicia's despair, he turned to Kristen.

"Kristen, I think we need to breakup," He said loudly, ignoring everyone staring. Alicia squeezed her eyes shut, and shook with frustration. Derrick just made things a lot more complicated. Kristen gasped her aqua blue eyes wide. Alicia watched as she sniffled pathetically. Even Claire Lyons, one of the nicest, most romantically idiotic girls ever rolled her eyes. Kristen had to know it wasn't working out.

"You're breaking up with me?" Kristen squeaked, jumping to her feet, and knocking over Claire's cucumber water. When Derrick nodded, she growled, and knocked over her chair, facing him. People were starting to stare, and Alicia was getting mad at her for causing a scene.

"Kris, sit down," She ordered, patting the empty chair next to her. Derrick shot her a glance, and pointed to Alicia.

"Kristen, I like Alicia." Alicia reddened as everyone turned to look at her. Derrick was going to pay for this, and if Kristen dared to tell her off…

Kristen spun on her heel, tears streaming down her cheeks. She glared at Alicia, like it was all her fault.

"You stabbed my back," She whispered, expecting sympathy, but getting none. Nikki sighed, and ate a piece of chicken. Alicia stood up also, and folded her arms across her chest, anger radiating from her. Kristen was dead.

"I never did," She said calmly. "If Derrick likes me, that's your problem, ok? If I don't like Derrick, you can't get mad at me." Kristen still glared, and Alicia was still angry. How dare Kristen accuse her in public like that! She didn't like Derrick.

~Aw, but you will. You will."

Josh's house

September 13, Sunday

8:00 P.M.

Claire

Alicia was going to thank her for the rest of her life. The camera was in her hand, and she was at Josh's bedroom window while he made out with Nikki Dalton, the skank. Trying to be quiet, she raised the camera, and snapped, dreaming of how hurt Alicia would be after Cam Fisher just cheated on her. Would Alicia go out with Derrick? Or would she go with Cam?

But, if it was one thing, Alicia Rivera didn't do do-overs. If you broke her heart, it was most likely a done deal. Alicia was Claire's best friend. She would strive to protect her.

"Claire?" Nikki stumbled out of the house, her eyes wide with fear. Josh was two steps behind her. Claire grinned, and held up a camera. It felt great. All the times Nikki had gossiped about her…

"You can't!" Josh said, shaking his head. "Please don't show Alicia!" Claire only laughed and shook her blond curls.

"Sorry, whores, but Alicia's my best friend," She said in a suave voice. "Wait till I show her this picture. She'll be destroyed. And believe me; she won't forgive either of you." Josh bit his lip, and Claire could see Nikki was trying not to cry, but Claire could have cared less. As she started off for the Rivera Estate, she waved sweetly, and turned towards Josh, who had followed her.

"Karma," She said once, and walked off.

~Alicia~

Alicia would never cry again. Cam Fisher, Josh Hotz, and Nikki Dalton were going down. They had hurt her, and it was her turn to hurt them. She debated calling Josh, and telling him it was over, but she decided against it. Instead, she IMed Nikki.

SpanishHottie: Hey!

BlondeDevil: Um…hey, A! Have u talked 2 C lately?

Alicia smiled. Nikki wanted to know if Claire had told her yet. This was going to be good.

SpanishHottie: Um, no. Why?

BlondeDevil: NVM. So, what's up?

SpanishHottie: I have figured out who's going 2 be in my Clique. Here's the list:

Alicia Rivera

Claire Lyons

Juliet Whitefield

BlondeDevil: Um, only 3?

SpanishHottie: Yep. Why?

BlondeDevil: What about me?

SpanishHottie: Call me.

Alicia signed off, and waited for her cell to ring. Nikki was clearly confused. But, she wouldn't be for long…

Bring, bring…Bring, bring

"Hey, Nikki! What was your question?" Alicia said sweetly.

"Um, why aren't I on that list?" She asked. Alicia chuckled.

"Because, we're not friends, honey," She said calmly. "You really think I forgive hoes who kiss my boyfriend? You were so wrong! Go! Hang out with Josh! Hang with Massie, and see if I care. I'll miss you!" Alicia hung up, and laughed out loud. Nikki probably thought that she was so hurt, she wouldn't plot revenge. But she wasn't that hurt!

Alicia still felt bad. She had really liked Josh. He was her everything, and then he had betrayed her.

Alicia felt the tears escalating, when her cell rang. If it was Nikki…

"Hola!"

"Um, Alicia? It's me, Josh." Alicia gasped, and resisted the urge to throw the phone across the room.

"See you never," She snapped, forgetting her promise never to cry again as the tears rolled down her makeup covered cheeks. Even hearing his voice hurt.

"So, Claire told you." Idiot.

"Hell yeah, Hotz!" Alicia shouted, her whole form shaking. "Don't ever call me again! I hate you! Why would you do this to me? Right after Cam hurt me? What is wrong with you? I'm changing numbers!" For the second time that night, Alicia hung up in someone's face.

Alicia collapsed unto her pillow, and sobbed. It was really hitting her now. She hated them for hurting her. The only real friend she had was Claire. Kristen didn't like her because Derrick did, and everyone else would just use her. Alicia realized everything was messed up. Massie was a psycho. Kristen was a whiny brat, and Dylan was anorexic.

Alicia sat up, and re-did her makeup. It was Alicia's time to shine. She would show Josh what he threw away, and she would show Nikki what she caused.

Alicia was a fighter.

Briarwood Prep High School

September 14, Monday

7:43 A.M.

~Nikki~

Nikki knew she was dead when Alicia had called her the other night. Alicia had sounded so sweet, so kind, and so calm. But, Nikki knew better. Alicia was plotting revenge, and Nikki had no one to run to who wouldn't turn her over to Alicia whenever she got the chance. She caught sight of Alicia and Claire climbing out of Alicia's black limo. They looked great without looking like sluts. Strangely, Nikki still admired Alicia's confidence.

Alicia walked right past her, her head turned upwards. Claire coughed when they passed, but other than that, they refused to acknowledge that she even existed. It hurt. Nikki struggled against her emotions, and dug through her Prada bag for her cell.

"Ugh," She groaned. Her cell phone was on her night stand. She saw Massie. She looked just, EW. She and Olivia were the best sluts ever, and everyone steered clear of them except the guys. They were gross, and lacked integrity and dignity. Nikki shuddered, and made sure they wouldn't cross her path. She didn't want any of Massie's germs rubbing off on her.

Unfortuneately, Massie and Olivia walked right up to her, huge fake smiles on their faces. Nikki gulped at Massie's mini skirt, and Olivia mid drift top. They were really pushing it…Didn't everyone already know they were easy?

"So, we heard about what happened between you and EW-licia," Massie snapped, smirking. Nikki wanted to shout that she liked Alicia, and still wanted to be her friend. But, she just rolled her eyes, and took a step back. Olivia giggled too late.

I sighed, and brushed my blond hair back, and attempted to pass them. But, of course, Massie's disgustingly pretty sidekick, Olivia, blocked me, and shook her head.

"You're apart of my group now," Massie commanded, smiling. What made her think she was going to join the Slut Union? Nikki laughed in spite of the situation, and grinned.

"You're funny," She giggled. "I have no intention of joining your little gross group. I'll do fine on my own." Massie wasn't laughing, and neither was Olivia. They stared at her like she was an alien from another planet.

"Yes you are unless you want that secret of yours about your daddy getting out," Massie said nastily. Nikki shook her head, tears choking her throat.

"You wouldn't!" She whispered. "Massie, I never knew you to be so…low." Olivia watched as her leader stepped in closer to Nikki.

"Then you really never knew me at all," She said.

~Kristen~

Kristen hated Alicia, and had quit the Legacy as soon as possible. She thought she had made the right decision. She shouldn't known she had just made her own social life worse. If she hung out with Massie and her crew, everyone would label her as a wannabe. If she hung out with Nikki, she'd be destroyed. Without Alicia, she was nothing. She sighed, and made her way down the hallway to first period. Alicia was going through to much. She wasn't forgiving anyone anytime soon. Even Kristen, her royal emotions prone, knew that.

Kristen was walking, when she ran right into Dylan.

Dylan looked really different. Smaller maybe. Her face was gaunt, and she was wearing clothes a hooker would turn down. She was smiling, and Kristen was afraid.

Dylan was planning something.

~And she had no idea it was all part of Alicia's plan~
