This is my first non-oneshot, so bear with me on the updating. This story takes place around the time of the first book, when Claire stole the Pretty Committee from Massie and Massie had to make new friends. In the book, Massie got the PC back, but this is what would have happened if Claire succeeded...
Disclaimer: Did I mention I don't own the Clique?
"Ehmagawd, he did nawt say that!" Saylene Homer exclaimed, her caramel colored hair split into two long Pocahontas-esque braids. Saylene and four other seventh grade girls- Aimee Colt, Denver Gold, Suze Gellert, and their leader, Massie Block- giggled at a hexagon-shaped lunch table at Octavian Day Academy, aware of the envious stares pointed in their direction. Each gorgeous girl occupied her own orange plastic chair, while the sixth contained their designer handbags- gawd forbid they touch the dirty cafeteria floor. They were known as the Heart Breakers, the prettiest and most elite girls on campus. Seventh graders counted on them to have the cutest clothes, the best boy advice, and to host the most exclusive parties. In their mind, the Heart Breakers were the goddesses of OCD. Nobody would give up the chance to become a Heart Breaker… except the members of the infamous Pretty Committee.

Across the cafeteria, at table nineteen, Claire Lyons frowned, her blonde brows furrowed. After stealing everything Massie had: her guest house, her friends, and even her lunch table, shouldn't Claire be the seventh-grade alpha? Massie hadn't even tried to get her friends back; she just started a new clique, as if the Pretty Committee was her dirty laundry she didn't want anymore. With her new girl status and new friends, Claire had practically been handed popularity on a silver platter, yet Massie Block still came out on top. Noticing her distress, Kristen Gregory patted Claire on the back, while Dylan Marvil offered her a piece of Swiss-imported chocolate. Alicia Rivera glared at the Heart Breakers, and a devious smile crossed her tan face.
"Requesting permission for 500 gossip points," she started, daring the rest of the Pretty Committee to say no. Flipping her glossy, raven locks back behind her shoulder, her chocolate brown eyes narrowed, she waited for their responses. They communicated silently with each other, and finally, Claire nodded.
"Done," Kristen answered, twirling a strand of her dirty blonde hair around her finger.
"Done," Dylan replied, sucking down a strawberry milk-shake.
"And done," Claire finished, then stared Alicia straight in the eye. "And it better be worth 500 points," she added, expecting the Spanish beauty to wither under her glare. Instead, Alicia rolled her shoulders back, her eyes shimmering with excitement. Dylan and Kristen glanced at each other and shrugged, each wondering what she overheard that could possibly be worth so many gossip points. Alicia pursed her cherry red lips, then spoke nine words that made Claire's heart soar.
"I know something that can bring Massie Block down."
Sorry for the shortness, but this chapter is kind of the introduction.
Read and review, please! :)
