The Clique: Next Generation
After the Pretty Committee graduated and went on with their ah-mazing lives, living out their dreams while remaining BFFs, the drama sort of died down in Westchester, and it became any other boringly rich town filled with boringly rich kids living boringly perfect, drama-free lives. It's been a decade since the Pretty Committee's rule, and it seems that no one can fill their Jimmy Choos. Until now. Enter the Next Generation of A- Listers in Westchester, New York.
Introducing The NHAs, the alpha clique at Winslet-Gallaway Prep, the boarding school every high-schooler within a seventy-five mile radius of Westchester attends. They've ruled in unity for years, yet their popularity soared only two years ago, when they were finally joined by their rightful leader and alpha, Katrina. Under her rule, the NHA's have become the clique you can only dream of being in. Question their power only if you are awaiting a fate with a nonexistent social life. Their life is never-ending paradise of exclusive parties, inside jokes, designer luxuries, and unlimited credit cards. But sophomore year might be the year every single perfection of these four girls' lives comes crashing down, because their realities in heaven might just turn into their living nightmares in hell. Meet the members of the A-List.
The Unstoppable Alpha: Katrina Jacqueline Bell
Is there anything about her that wouldn't be considered flawless? Every room she enters, immediately all eyes are on her, combined looks of envy and admiration from every girl and looks of fascination and adoration from every boy. Her chocolate-colored skin glows, barely needing the light makeup she put on. As she flutters her eyelids, she notices how everyone takes in her light, brownish-green eyes and her shimmering golden eye shadow. The Rihanna-look alike with darker skin runs her Essie Beach Bum Blu-manicured hand through her perfectly curled, elbow-length glossy dark chestnut hair with honey blonde, amber, and cinnamon highlights, adoring it's softness. Whatever she's wearing, she looks fabulous in it and everywhere she goes, she leaves a lingering scent of See by , just like the hurricane she shares a name with, Katrina has a tendency to stir up a whirl of disaster and chaos wherever she goes, but without her the gossip mill would run oh-so-dry. She's the messy kind of alpha: the attention-needing, fun-loving, gossip-starring, rumor-starting, revenge-getting It Girl that always manages to land on top. All that knows of her wishes they could either be her, be with her, or be friends with her. Either way, they all want something from her. And she knows they'll stick around until they get it.
The Envious Beta: Catalina Emilia Brooks
Better known to her clique- and Winslet-Gallaway Prep- as simply Cat Brooks. Cat used to be the alpha of the not-so-hot NHAs, and no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't make the whole "It Clique" thing work out for her and the rest of her clique. What went wrong? She's beautiful; her pin-straight, jet black shoulder-length hair contrasts with her flawless milky white skin and striking, warm cornflower blue eyes, sort of like Carly Rae Jepsen without the bangs; wealthy, and confident (at least she thinks) Then Katrina came along and answered her prayers of unmatched, uncontested popularity with just one catch: she'd have to settle for second-best as "beta". Sure, Katrina deserves it, she's the one who brought the NHAs to their glory, but she can't help feeling cheated, being downgraded in her own clique. She knows that if she doesn't make the most of her newfound beta status, Katrina will destroy her like she saw her do to so many helpless "LBRs", as legendary alpha Massie Block would say, but she can't keep herself from yearning for the limelight.
The Stressed-Turned-Boycrazy Gamma: Acacia Athena Ledger
There's no girl happier within a fifty miles radius of Winslet-Gallaway Prep than Acacia. For her, it was about time that she should be lifted from her responsibilities as Cat's beta. She was an amazing friend, yes, but an amazing alpha? Not so much. Now, Acacia is finally "in" and she feels free and alive, not bugged down like she was under Cat's rule. And finally, she has the status, time and confidence to snag herself a cute, A-List boy, especially since her strict mom has finally allowed her to date. She has severed her previously long, wavy, platinum blonde locks and transformed her hair into a permanently straight, 2007 Rihanna bob the shade of Ariana Grande's on Victorious. Her eyes are a light honey brown that looks like the shade of gold, and a flirtatious flutter of her long, doll-like lashes will have any guy begging for more. Watch out for your guys ladies, because Acacia is on a manhunt, and when it comes to guys, she's gets what she wants.
The Lucky Scheming Delta: Parker-Bella Roch
Lay eyes upon Parker-Bella, and even being one of the original members of the NHAs, you wonder how she even became part of the clique, let alone one that will turn out to become the alpha clique in eighth grade (Not that she could've known…could she?) Pretty, she can have that one. But nothing compared to the mindblowingly gorgeous perfection that can only describe the other members of the clique. Her dark, cinnamon-colored eyes, sunkissed skin, and unruly, rebellious dark blonde curls make her blatantly ordinary compared to them. She had to scheme and lie and gossip her way in, and god knows what it'll take for her to stay. What she lacks for in beauty she makes up for in personality and humor, which is what matters right? Until then, she hopes to seal her for-now status with a hot new boyfriend.
Now enter: The Boys. Around a thousand of them attend Winslet-Gallaway Prep, but these are the hawtest, the smartest, and the coolest boys anywhere near Westchester, and every girl has their eye on them, but only a few have a chance to actually get them. Meet the guys; love the guys; want the guys.
The Resident Bad Boy: Walter Julius Blake
Walter is the typical bad boy stereotype. At least on the surface. With his icy silver-grey eyes that seem to look straight into your soul and his shaggy, sandy blonde curls, there's no surprise every girl wants a piece of this badass rockstar. He never smiles, yet always manages to tell jokes leaving everyone in stitches. And he's unapologetically smart too, in everything from Chess to AV Club. He rides a black Harley-Davidson and wears the same beat-up leather jacket to school each and everyday. Sounds familiar? But what you don't know is that he harbors a dark secret about his past, the reason he is this way. He has an intense desire for love, so maybe, someday he'll be able to show the wounds of his troubling past. And someday seems to be creeping closer…and closer…
The Star Player and Party Animal: Keith Garrett Castello
With his blindingly bright white smile competing with his startling yet sparkling pale green eyes, Keith Castello is hands-down the hawtest guy on campus. And the most wild, and athletic, too. His short strawberry-blonde is always messily gelled in a cute way, making it look casual yet hawt. But beware: Keith is perverted yet sweet, hilarious but deep, and he'll draw you in so quickly you won't even know what hit you. He is always up for a party, and he throws the best at Winslet-Gallaway Prep. But do you think all there is to him is his charm and popular boy status? Because there's a secret he's hiding that just might surprise you.
The Heartbroken Artistic Soul: Ezra Vincent Winters
For poor, unfortunate Ezra Winters, he's the nice guy, and he always finishes last. His talents and passions range through all things artistic, beginning with painting and ending with poetry, his milky white skin practically matching the paper he draws on. Despite attracting dozens of girls with his Logan Lerman like-looks , with intense mint blue eyes paired with his longish so-dark-it-could-be-black coffee brown hair, he always manages to pick the worst out of them all. After his final breakup from the worst girlfriend he ever had, Olivia-Kathlyn Sutherland, he vows to himself that he'll never become serious with girls again and from now on, they're just fun and games. At least, until he runs into the girl of his dreams.
The Underestimated Clone: Kendrick Eliot Winters
Preferred to be called Ken, for Kendrick, Ezra is simply an ungrateful bastard who doesn't realize just how many girls fling themselves at him, and how he just turns them away. He's sick and tired of girls finally being interested in him for a split-second, before they learn that he is in fact Ken, not Ezra Winters, his annoyingly "sensitive" chick magnet of an identical twin brother. With not a single ounce of artistic ability whatsoever in Ken's body, he can only express himself through his exceptional soccer skills. But he manages to be quiet and nerdy too, earning him no points. When a gorgeous gal hits on him, thinking he's his brother, he decides it might not be the worst thing. Let's see if he can keep up this charade…
The Lovestruck Actor: Logan Nathaniel Trent
Logan finally grew into his good looks, giving him that edge and spark that Chace, Zac and Leo have. Of course, Logan also has raw talent, but in high school, of course it means nothing. Until now he was theater geek, but combined with his shaggy, dark honey brown hair with natural gold and caramel highlights that fall into his charismatic deep brown eyes, and his lead role in the play, his high school stardom is pretty much set. With fame comes girls, and finally he might be able to get that one girl that he could never take off his mind.
And finally, enter The Outcasts. Yes, sadly, in every school, there are people not part of the A-List. And then there are the people who stand out so much as an opposite to the A-List that they might as well be the Z-List. Some used to be popular, some want to be popular, some don't care about being popular…at least for now. Greet them now, as you just might be worshipping them later.
The Ex-BFF That Wants Vengeance: Milani Isabella D'Alessio
The previous best friend of none other than Katrina Bell, Milani was thrown out like last season's Prada handbag due to "irreconciliable losership." Now lower than ever on the social standings, she wants revenge. Her short, glossy black bob, crystal clear blue eyes and contrasting olive skin are ready for vengeance, and she's armed with the latest designer duds. Now, all she needs is a plan.
The Desperate Yet Devious EW: Phyllis Diana Carmichael
Phyllis is tired of being the outcast. The Loser. The Humiliated One. She wants to be the one that's loved and admired. She wants to be, dare she say it, popular. She wants people to notice her waist-length bumblegum pink hair and be inspired to do the same. She wants people to actually look her in her hazel eyes with respect, and wants people to shoot her compliments, regardless of the crap she's wearing. Her plan is all laid out, and she's been formulating it for years. Now all she needs are some other people who might not share the same motive, but the same goal. Phyllis is getting down and dirty, in hopes of going up.
The Innocent and Unfazed Naïve New Girl: Estelle Victoria Robinson
Estelle, who prefers to be called Stella, is the normal one, the "new"one. She's not sucked into this popularity madness like everyone else. She just wants to live her life and be a normal student enjoying her beautiful new boarding school. Is that so much to ask? She even looks normal, with wavy white-blond hair she always sports in braided pigtails, bright cerulean eyes popping against her snow-white complexion, subtle pink lips and cherry-red hipster glasses she needs if she actually wants to see her own hand. Yet, when Stella is able to have her 15 minutes of fame, she's torn, and a bit crazy. Now Stella is sucked into this madness like the rest of them, and she's never getting out.
The One Nobody Suspects: Wesley Aaron Benson
Sure, Wesley's on the soccer team which is a big deal at Winslet-Gallaway Prep, but he's definitely not a big name on the social scene. He just lays low, and does what he has to do. Now, when scandal happens, nobody suspects the innocent bystander to have anything to do with it. But he'll be a pawn, a secret, and the accomplice, maybe all at once…Wesley's the one you have to wait out and figure out.
This is sophomore year at Winslet-Gallaway Prep, the elite boarding school fifty miles off of Westchester. Be ready to enter the intense, scandalous world of the A-List, and The Cool, The Bad, and The Fugly.
