Massie Block: Is losing control of BOCD before she can even regain it. The only thing keeping her from hanging herself by her pucci scarves is that Dempsey is still available, but they do say all good things must come to an end...

Claire Lyons: After getting one make over from Massie, she lands a movie role, but she's not sure how Massie is going to take the news..

Alicia Rivera: Has epic alpha ideas thanks to her alter ego; Genghis Spawn.

Kristen Gregory: Is torn in between the two...er three and is losing brownie points with the alphas of BOCD.

Dylan Marvil: Is dangerously in like with her new crush Derrick

Hi all I got the idea for this story while re-reading my clique books it was as I was reading P.S. I loathe you that the idea for this. So with out further ado here is Finding her inner alpha.

The Pinewood lobby

Friday October 9th

7:53 a.m.

Kristen's brain registered the beyond sweet times ten gesture and came to one conclusion:

"You forgive me." She stated softly.

With a white toothy grin Dune nodded and stepped forward. Before Kristen could figure out what to do next he planted a firm, but gentle kiss on her glossy lips.

So there is some truth to those sappy teen chick flicks and romance novels. Who knew? Kristen thought as she kissed her crush feeling:

A) Elated

B) Her heart race

C) Like she was about to melt

D) Ehmagawd!

"Nice game," a voice that sounded like Dempsey's coming from a far away land called 'reality' said. "Even though I lost." It mumbled.

When Kristen and Dune finally broke apart they were met with embarassing "aaawwwwws!" from bystanders. Kristen blushed. Dune blushed. They stared at one another with matching goofy, embarassed smiles.

"So, I was wondering, you wanna double on my bike?" Dune offered.

Kristen wanted to say: "Sure! But first can you help me find my voice? Cuz I'm kinda speechless."

HONK HONNNKK!

"Hey!" Layne Abeley waved sticking her head out the window of a Jaguar. "Sorry for all the drama for your Mama Kristen, wanna ride to school together?" Layne asked. Her cheery smile led Kristen to believe that she had also forgiven her.

Finally regaining control of her vocal cords from her heart she yelled her response; "No thanks I'm good to go, but meet me in the girls locker room after school." Emphasizing her next statement Kristen said, "I have those 'homework answers' you needed."

Layne, who was never good at getting hints, or anything that wasn't straight forward, actually beamed her understanding.

"Will do! Later alligator." With that, Layne gave the command to the driver, probably her mom or dad, to go ahead.

Kristen texted Massie the same statement and that she wouldn't be needing a ride to school as Dune waited patiently on the sidelines recieving an immediate 'Kay can't w8'

Dune hopped on the bike and in yet another gentlemanly gesture held out his hand to help Kristen on. For the enitre almost half hour drive, Kristen felt like a princess, whipping hair and all.

BOCD The Halls

Friday October 9th

8:25 a.m.

Surrounded by her well dressed army, Alicia Rivera felt more confident now than she had in her enitire life as she and Heart-nettes sashayed with unpracticed syncronization (One thing Massie Block could never accomplish!) down the bustling halls of BOCD.

"Um Alicia?" One of the girls piped up. Instead of breaking perfect formation and turning her head, Alicia tilted her ear indicating that she was listening.

"When can we be dismissed? I wanna meet up with my friends before class."

Alicia was appalled. She held out her arms bringing the other cheerleaders to an abrupt stop. Alicia turned and stared dead into June, the pipe uppers, lavender eyes.

"Sure," she smiled, "you can go meet up with your friends."

June soft smiled her thanks.

"And as soon as you find them you can hang out with them forever because you're out."

The Heart-nettes gasped. June's spray tanned enhanced skin paled visibly.

"Let that be a lesson to you. You are dismissed when the captain dismisses you always understood?" Alicia snapped. The girls nodded without hesitation. "Now June, still wanna 'meet up with your friends?'"

June shook her head so vigorously her fifties style Hairspray 'do actually moved!

"Good." Alicia said shocked at herself. Where had that come from? Had she just channelled her inner Massie? Speak of the devil, that was just who Alicia and her clique ran into a little further down the hall.

Massie Block stood side by side with Claire Lyons who was wearing an oversized Old Navy blue an white striped sweater, a pair of Massie's true religion dark denim skinny jeans, and borrowed red suede flats. From the neck down she had obviously been styled by Massie (minus the sweater) and was a pretty solid eight.

Massie wore a woven purple wrap dress over metallic white gold leggings (where the heck did she get those?) and red suede round toe pumps. Her glossy hair had been parted down the middle and blown out stick straight and she wore her most reflective tube of glossip girl on her lips. She was a nine seven atleast! Too dressy for just a normal day of school. What was up?

As Alicia approached them she felt a sting of outfit envy causing her to pinch the heather grey corduroy material of her Ralph Lauren mini skeptically.

Her big brown eyes skipped over Massie and landed on Claire whose hand flew straight to their comfort zone: her teeth.

"Hi Claire." Alicia chirped.

Claire didn't have a chance to respond before Massie cut her off.

"Sorry she doesn't speak ew." Massie sneered expecting to throw Alicia off her game, but that powerful, unfamiliar feeling rose in Alicia full force and forced it's way out of her mouth.

"And I don't speak cliquetator." Alicia sneered back.

Massie surprised but of course not thrown retorted; "because you're not an alpha."

"Ooooohhhhhs" arose from a semi gathering crowd like they were watching a yo' mama fight.

Fueled by their support and Alicia's visibly reddening cheeks, Massie puckered her mouth like a fish gasping for oxygen.

"And what's that supposed to be?" Alicia asked.

"Oh you didn't know? That's beta fish."

Claire's hand flew to her mouth in disbelief. Alicia pursed her lips in defeat and shifted her gaze behind Massie's shoulder resorting to one last low blow.

"Hey Derrick, Dylan! Wait up!" Alicia called out, "girls remember we have a mini rehearsal today in the gym you're dismissed." The Heart-nettes scattered reluctantly no doubt wanting to see how the rest of the scene would play out.

Alicia, however, was done playing. For now. She breezed past Massie. "See ya Adolf Clique-tler."

"See ya Genghis spawn." Massie replied.

Even though she was angry and slightly embarassed, Alicia still had to give herself a pat on the back. She had handled the beast known as Block and handled her well. Now she just had to see if she could keep it up.

Hope you all enjoyed read, review, favorite thanks :)
