Massie's Bedroom
Sunday
7:00 PM

"Rate me" Massie snapped.

Alicia's head rose quickly from the Teen Vogue magazine in her lap, "9.6".

"Ah-greed" Kristen and Dylan called.

"Totally" Claire chimed in from Massie's desk that held her imac and about fifty different magazine cutouts of celebrities.

Massie tilted her head to the side, trying to imagine her outfit through the eyes of someone else. Her Alice + Olivia grey sequined shirt sparkled from every angle. Her BCBG suede black mini made her legs look longer than ever and her purple pumps added the perfect pop of color to her outfit. Her long tangled necklaces with purple charms hanging off of them completed her outfit perfectly. Massie, satisfied with her outfit, tore it off and hung it back on the mannequin. She slipped into her silk boy shorts and bebe tank top and plopped on the bed next to Alicia.

"Ready to see Josh tomorrow, Leesh?" Massie questioned her bestie wondering if she was just as nervous as Massie was about seeing Derrington.

"Of course! I'm going to wear my new Ralph Lauren mini." She replied confidently.

Massie grinned, hoping Alicia didn't hear her heart beating louder.

"I'm kind of nervous about him listening to my news announcements. I hope he likes them." She whispered so that only Massie could hear. Claire looked up from the computer curious about what they were saying.

Massie turned her face so Claire couldn't read her lips, "Ehmagawd, Leesh you'll be fine. The whole school loves your announcements and I know josh will too."

Alicia smiled at Massie, silently thanking her for her advice. Massie returned the smile as Dylan and Kristen walked out of Massie's closet holding some jewelry and a Prada bag.

"Can I borrow these Mass? I want Kemp to finally notice me this year." Kristen asked holding up the items for Massie to see.

"Sure Kris." Kristen dropped the booty into her Roxy bag and walked over to Claire.

"Have the boys posted pictures from the pool party yet" Dylan asked Claire and Kristen.

"Yea, come look" Claire replied as Dylan skipped across the room. Alicia and Massie hopped up from the bed and crowded around Claire. All five girls laughed as Claire clicked through pictures of the girls huddled together, the boys being silly, and the boys trying to push the girls in the pool.

"I heart that they're going to be at school tomorrow!" Alicia stated.

"I know! I finally have an opportunity to be a C plus this school year." Dylan said

"Well I'm glad that our alpha status will be upgraded once we get alpha crushes." Massie said thinking about all the girls at school looking up to the pretty committee and their ah-mazing boy knowledge. This could finally be her year to prove herself to the rest of the school.

Rang Rover
Monday
7:50 AM

Massie yawned in the range rover next to Claire as Issac drove them to Alicia's. Jakkob had been at her house at 6:30 this morning to give her and Claire perfect blowouts. Then Massie had done her makeup and gotten dressed, all the while butterflies fluttering in her stomach. Claire didn't seem nervous at all sitting next to her in hand me down sevens shorts and a flowy Ella Moss top lent to her from Massie's closet. Massie had rolled her eyes when Claire insisted on wearing her old Keds. Massie had no idea why Claire insisted on wearing those shoes when she had offered Claire a pair from her floor to ceiling shoe rack.

Issac pulled to a stop right outside of the Rivera mansion. Alicia walked slowly down the drive way as Massie admired her outfit from a distance. When Alicia slid into the car, Massie looked her outfit up and down. Alicia was wearing a black stretch Ralph Lauren mini skirt and a blue and white Ralph Lauren button up. She topped off her look with brown faux leather booties. Gold tiffany bangles slid up her arm as Alicia embraced Massie.

"You look ah-mazing!" Alicia squealed as she pulled away. "Hey Claire"

"Hey Leesh, love the outfit" Claire responded with a big smile.

"Thanks! I'm opposite of not excited to see the boys today! I hope me and josh don't wear the same Ralph Lauren shirt again. How embarrassing right?" Alicia babbled nervously.

Massie scolded herself for seeing like a downer when all her friends were almost jumping up and down with excitement to see the crushes. Massie swallowed her fear and grinned as big as she could.

"They're going to love us even more!"

Once Massie had spoken after her long stony silence, the girls cheered with excitement.

BOCD, The Range Rover
Monday
7:56 AM

"Ratings!" Massie barked trying to control her pounding heart. No matter how much fun the girls had over the summer with the boys, she couldn't help but doubt herself. What if they see the other girls and think they are cuter? Impossible. Were the cutest at BOCD. What if boys don't want to sit with us at lunch and everyone thinks were LBR's? The boys will probably be sitting together, just like they did at Briarwood. What if sixth graders decide to flirt with our crushes? Easy! Crush. Them. So what am I worrying about? NUH-THING!

Massie's brain did a one eighty turn as she faced the pretty committee.

"Alicia, you're up. You look ah-mazing in your Ralph Lauren skirt and button up. Your shoes are adorable and the bangles draw attention to your gorgeous tan. Congratulations you're a 9.6."

The girls clapped for Alicia as Massie moved on to the next girl in line.

"Dylan, your Marc Jacobs wrap dress shows off your now gorgeous waste line and the silver heels make your legs look thinner than ever. Your hair looks beautiful straightened and long with simple earrings and necklace. Congratulations you're a 9.4."

"Kristen, you look like the sporty chick you are in sevens shorts and H&M v-neck. The Puma jacket pulls off your look and your gold sandals look comfortable yet sophisticated. Congratulations, you're a 9.2."

"Claire, you look casual chick in your sevens shorts and borrowed Ella Moss top. However, I'm going to have to dock you off for the keds. You know how I feel about tennis shoes. Add some more gloss. Congratulations, you're an 8.9."

After the girls had applauded each other, they snapped into attention as Massie prepared to do her outfit. Every girl knows that her outfit is only as good as her alphas.

"Now, I'm wearing a BCBG suede skirt and sequined Alice + Olivia top which makes me shine like the alpha I am. My purple pumps make my legs look long and elegant and my jewelry makes my outfit look better than ever. Ratings?"

"9.8!" Alicia blurted before anyone else had time to think.

"Ah-greed" Kristen, Dylan, and Claire called out.

Massie's smile beamed with confidence. "Now girls were walking to the Pussycat Doll's "Don't Cha." Ready?" she asked nervously, hoping the girls were aware of how important this walk was.

They all nodded back at her without cracking a smile.

"Now ah-five, six, sev-uhn, eight."

Massie threw open the door to the range rover and the girls gracefully slid out one by one. As soon as they landed on the warm concrete, they started to walk with Massie one step ahead of them. The girls approached the tall stone building in perfect synchronization as they watched almost every girl's head turn to study them. Massie couldn't help but smile as every girl envy-stared them as they walked to their favorite oak tree. As the girls sat down, groups of LBR's walked by them hoping to hear the smallest bit of gossip from the infamous pretty committee. Massie smiled because her goal had been achieved. Every girl wanted to be them. Now only if she could quite her nerves of seeing the boys.
