"Most kids these days have straight teeth and crooked morals."
The Queen Bee.
Perfect hair, all the latest styles, new arm candy every day. That's the life Massie Block lives. She lives life in the fast-lane, drinking from life's lush lips, a perfect life for a perfect girl, right? She's full of herself and prides herself in being Goldenrod's head girl. If America had royalty, the Block's would be it. The family line has been pulsing through the country's history for years. Massie can have anything and everything she wants in a matter of seconds. Grades are but letters to her, she's already got a seat secured at Harvard, grades are just a cushion. Only one problem, deep down inside she has this insecurity because even she knows that she can never be the prettiest, the sweetest, the skinniest or the smartest.
The 'IT' Girl.
Every school, no matter where in the world, has an 'IT' girl. The girl who can get just about any guy, parties every night, and dresses out of school code without being punished. Dark brown, hip length hair, big brown eyes that you can't help but get lost in, Alicia Rivera is the epitome of a boy's dream. She follows Massie around like a true best friend, and following her is a pack of hungry teenage boys. With pure Spanish blood coursing through her and an Australian citizenship and passport you can already assume that she's a model in training. This Spanish bombshell is more than just looks, she's conniving and heartless. She'll steal your boyfriend in a matter of minutes, driving you to tears in a flurry of well-thought out insults in seconds. She makes everyone's business her own, and if you don't do as she says you're more than just screwed, you're dead meat.
The Golden Girl.
Kristen Gregory is hardworking, opinionated and temperamental, yet in the eyes of the student body she is everything they wish they were. Kristen is beautiful, different from Alicia, yet still beautiful. Her buttery blonde waves are always trimmed to perfection, never hanging in front of her eyes or growing past chest length, she's got the frame of a model, with long legs and a lanky body. Her only priority is getting into college, it doesn't matter that her father is one of the top art dealers in the world and her mother is an ex-model, she wants to prove herself, getting in somewhere without the help of her nosy parents. A Dubai doll through and through she's lived the life of a princess, attending hot parties, sipping the most expensive wines. Kristen does not approve of the scandalous lives Alicia and Massie live, yet she lets them do as they please choosing it better than to argue with them. Being the brain, Kristen keeps out of trouble, or does she? You never know at Goldenrod.
The Artist.
A sweet face, flowery clothing and soulful eyes that are always lost in the clouds. Almost always found under a tree, sketch book in her lap, a pencil in hand, drawing anything and everything in sight. Claire Lyons is a mystery to most of Goldenrod, she's quiet and always in her own world. You'll hear her humming to her own tune in choir class, creating random concoctions in Chemistry, drawing rather than writing in English class and silently observing rather than joining in. She's never spotted without her hundred dollar sketch pad and any writing utensil she picked up that morning when waking up. Boys more than dream about Claire, but most give up at trying to get her, deeming her a lost cause. Maybe this year she'll step out of that trance she's in, or maybe someone will cast a spell on her.
The Boys' Best Friend.
With her mother being the all too famous Merri Lee Marvil, Dylan Marvil is obviously an A-Lister. The only funny thing is who she chooses to spend her time with, the boys. It's a joke around school that she was mistaken for a boy at birth, thus her name. The guys don't see her as anything more than a sister, or should we say brother? Dylan was sent off after being a riot in the world of Hollywood, and in all the wrong ways. When first walking through the doors of GPA's pristine cafeteria she stood out by seating herself with the boys, cracking one too many 'that's what she said' jokes and letting out a belcher, the rest is history. Lately though Dylan's been seeing one of her friends as a little more than just a friend, will her reputation keep her from getting him? Probably, unless someone can help her change that...
The Klutz.
If Mean Girls was reality, Olivia Ryan would be Karen. She's a bottle blonde, with what some can consider brain damage like idiocy and is a little more slutty than a high school girl should be. Not only is she all of the above, but Olivia is constantly tripping, most of the time it's over nothing. She'll be having a conversation and will topple like a house of cards. Olivia's known to ask the dumbest of dumb questions, so if she's your desk partner beware, you'll probably loose more brain cells than banging your head against a wall. Olivia grew up on a huge vineyard in Northern California, the only thing she can do right is ride a horse, surprisingly she rarely falls off. Olivia badly wants in on Massie's little crew, but she knows that she'll have to do a lot more than just dress up to be accepted.
The Rebel.
Netted tights, flasks of alcohol, studded boots, black eyeliner, leather shorts, and a half empty box of cigarettes in her locker, the only thing keeping Nikolette Dalton at GPA is her background and her grades. Always seen smoking pot during class with the burnouts, only coming to class on the days of exams. Nikki is not popular by association but popular by her own accord. She's beautiful in a cruel way and she's untouchable by anything, including the school policies. Her daddy and mommy are huge political endorsers, her father being the French ambassador. Nikki has been to every fashion night since she was two, had a bank account in her name at age five and personally knows anyone who is involved in politics personally. Her family is tightly knit with the Blocks' even though Massie denies any sort of relationship with Nikki. Nikki's parents have high expectations for their only child and are only concerned with her grades being perfect and her record being clean, even if it takes piles of their money to assure their dear little Nikki's success. Nikki can swear in four different languages, not including English, and spends her summers in France partying with the fabulous Elite of Paris.
The Gossip-Whore.
Schulyer Hamilton prides herself in knowing everything about everyone. She's never been at the top of the food chain but she provides them with all their meat, assuring her a safe and secured spot at all the hot parties and get togethers, her A-list rep never being questioned. She walks around school with a smirk on her perfect lips, similar to that of her step brother Derrick. You'll never even see Skye coming, her ballerina feet making it practically impossible for you to hear her approaching. She dangles her hold over her brother over all the other girls, making everyone want her approval. Born and bred in New Zealand, she was only introduced to America when she was in high school, her mother marrying Andrew Harrington the business tycoon. This year though, she's not looking for being just an A-lister, no-she's looking to snag the damn crown off Massie Block's head.
The Freak.
Layne Abeley takes freak to the next level. Always clad in neon colors, with random streaks in her hair, nails with different designs every day, cluttered 'magic' holding necklaces, oddly shaped rings, and a book of spells and horoscopes in her bag. Layne grew up in Southern Africa and hates boarding school. She'd rather be at home going on safari's every weekend and volunteering at Masi villages. Layne has quite the reputation, which basically consists of her being crazed. She's made a name for herself, possibly because on the first day of school she stood up on a lunch table in the middle of the cafeteria, clad in nothing but a potato sack with petition boards in her hand, staging a protest for the lack of vegetarian food provided. If you walk into Layne's dorm its filled with weird voodoo books and everything is in perfect symmetry, something she picked up in China. Layne parades around school reading people's palms and yelling rude things to people eating meat, such as "MEAT'S NO TREAT FOR THOSE YOU EAT!" This year though, she's out to find a partner in crime...who will be her victim?
The Man-Whore.
Cameron Fisher has been with literally, every girl at GPA, not including a few of his close friends and creeps. Girls will willing fall at his feet and boys follow him around, trying to understand exactly how he works his magic. If his mismatched eyes don't get you weak in the knees, then his messy black hair will, if that doesn't do the trick then you're either lesbian or you've been taken in by his charm. Cam's mysterious yet alluring, he can be loud yet quiet, smart yet stupid and every other contradicting thing in the world. Of course his best friend is Derrick Harrington, an obvious trick of fate. The two have been inseparable since birth. Cam can be very kind to those he's closest with, which happen to be the people who actually wait long enough for him to actually talk. Once you get past all the walls around him, the heir to the world's top oil company can be a pretty great guy...who are we kidding? He's terrible.
The One Your Mother Told You To Stay Away From.
At Goldenrod Preparatory Academy, fucked up is spelt as K-E-M-P H-U-R-L-E-Y. Kemp Hurley is about as screwed in the head as bolt in a door. He's unstable, never committing and never paying attention to anything. He's a parent's worst nightmare, addicted to drugs, alcohol and women. Kemp is the guy who can hook you up with a fake I.D and a hot club to use it at. His dorm fridge is filled with expensive vodka and more than often you'll spot him showing up at school high off of one thing or the other. His mother is an actress and he's spent his days off and on from the Caribbean where his mother's beach house (or should we say mansion?) is situated to his father's island estate off the coast of Greece. His experience in womanizing and poisoning his body with drugs goes all the way back to eighth grade and will probably continue for the rest of his life until he takes up his father's world famous hotel chain.
The Geek.
Every messed up group of boys needs a brainchild, and Christopher Plovert just happens to be that guy. Chris can tell you the answer to a math question faster than you can type it into your calculator, he can fix any computer problem and can ace an English essay-or any essay, for any language-with a well-phrased one liner. He's not all brains though, he's got looks to back him up and a cute dimple induced smile. Even with his perfection, he's never had more than two girlfriends, causing gay jokes to be mainly centered around him. He's a heavy drinker at times, but stays sober until the weekends. After his parents' death from when he was a child, he's been living in Italy with his aunt and uncle, that's until attending GPA. Christopher's sister is rotting in some expensive rehabilitation center in Milan and he refuses to screw his future up like she did.
The Sweetheart.
Joshua Hotz is handsome and kind, can you get a better a combo? He knows just how to treat a girl and knows exactly what to say and when to say it. If you're feeling down he's the guy to go to, he's more than understanding. Most girls think of him as just a friend but the lucky ones who see past his brotherly manners will find themselves in a true romantic affair. Josh is from Portugal, bringing with him all the eccentric quirks of his home along with it's charm. He knows most of the A-list girls secrets, and people find themselves spilling their deepest stories when speaking with him. Josh has never been picky with who he chooses for a relationship, but this year, the tables have turned.
The Party Crasher.
After a week of finals and studying (or pretending to), you'll be attending a high flying party, music beating, strobes dancing and cups being passed around party, this is where you'll spot Todd Lyons. He'll be getting drunk, taking his shirt off and jumping up and down. This light-weight can get drunk in just three cups of alcohol. The young freshman is known for crashing upperclassmen parties, the only reason he hasn't been beaten to a pulp is because everyone pities him because of who his sister is. Todd can never be spotted in class or around campus, only at parties. This makes people wonder if he's even enrolled at GPA.
The Asshole.
Know-it-all, jerk, spoilt brat, rude ass, all descriptions of Landon Crane, son of the entrepreneur Jason Crane. Landon is only popular because of his connections, if possible he would have been booted out of the A-List clique ages ago. He's a brat, always criticizing everything, never satisfied with anything. He's never seen without a Burberry scarf, Chuck Bass anyone? Landon is an inconsiderate bloke, he'll say something rude without even meaning to and when he does mean to, you better have a box of Kleenex ready. Everyone's waiting for the day when the right girl will come along and slap Landon silly, maybe then he'll learn his place. So far though, that hasn't happened.
The King of Kings.
Derrick Harrington is who every guy wants to be and who every girl wants. He's the soccer captain, dates only the hottest girls that GPA has to offer, and is filthy rich. Derrick out does everyone in everything. He's smarter than Chris in one way or another, has done every girl before Cam has, knows more about women than Josh, has attended dozens more upperclassmen parties in his freshmen year than Todd ever will (plus the fact he was actually invited), has gotten way more high than Kemp ever has, and has even been a bigger douche than Landon has. Yet people can't help but love Derrick. Even though he continues to cross lines, push past people, take short-cuts and take the easy way out it's a fact of life that Derrick will succeed and so will every Harrington after him. He has the Harrington looks and charm along with the attitude of a celebrity, which he might as well be. His father, Andrew Harrington, is a household name, known for being one of the richest Americans. Derrick has been all over the world spending more money than you're worth. How far will his money take him this year?

Oh my lord, it's been AGES since I've written anything...don't ask why I'm writing this, I just felt like it. If any of you started reading The Twelve Days of Christmas I'm terribly sorry for not continuing it, my computer got a horrid virus and then it broke -_ , in this story they're all from various places in the world and are juniors, except for Todd.
Review?
