Well, the clique has stayed strong and intact for years, Massie has led her merry band of fearsome shoppers through the thick and the thin, from when they all met in third grade to their eighth grade graduation - She's been there for them, they've been there her. They've had their fall outs, they've fought, they've been at odds with one another. But in the end they had always returned and reunited happily and as friends once more. However, they've spent the summer apart - And everyone has changed. Now with such different personalities, will the Pretty Committee be able to survive 9th grade... Together?
MEET THE CLIQUE...
Massie: Massie is as fabulous as ever, taller, bustier, richer. And also more famous than ever - Or so she thinks. She spent the summer doing make-up commercials and extra work in movies. Now she's more stuck up than ever, having some distorted image of reality - It's like she thinks she's an A-List celebrity! She knows she's not but, hey, she's had more camera time than Claire - Something she's definitely going to rub into her face as much as possible. The pretty brunette is ready to rule High School, and she's confident that she'll be able to do it, she's Massie Block after all, and the fact that she's dating cute upperclassmen Charlie Monroe helps. But will she be able to keep her clique in line? Of course she can, but it won't be easy, especially when she begins to see them as nothing more than B-listers... Will she have to ditch them all together?
Claire Lyons: She auditioned for Cut in Two, a gut-wrenching horror flick that was certain to be a hit in the box office, during July - And she didn't get the part. She was dissed completely. Now her spirit has been crushed, and her passion for acting is gone - And she's actually jealous of Massie. Like the great best friend she was, she spent the whole summer faithfully going to Massie's shoots, and watching her resume expand. Claire only had one movie. A movie that had happened almost two years earlier - How pitiful. Nobody knew who she was, but everyone seemed to know Massie - Everywhere they went she had women commenting, "Oh your the girl from the Beautiful n' Rich ad! Aren't you?" Of course she was. Claire hadn't signed a single autograph in months. And worst of all, Cam's been sneaking around with a certain Latina beauty. What's going on here?
Alicia Rivera: Her father, her rich lawyer daddy, was thrown in jail for indecent exposure in a court room - He showed up drunk and in the nude. It didn't make matters any better that he held a knife at the cop who came to arrest him, and then stabbed him once in the arm - Turns out he had been drinking because her mother was having an affair. Drinking the sorrows away. Her mother is assuring her that things will be fine, but with the money-maker of the family in jail, what's going to happen to them? When things start getting taken by the bank, Alicia really starts worrying, and she'll do anything to hide her diminishing wealth from the rest of the PC. But surely they'll notice when she starts wearing heap knock offs...
Dylan Marvil: The girl had a completely boring summer, spending it in Cali with her mom as she did two months of the show for the Daily Grind in "sunny sunny California!" Not much has changed with her - Except for the fact she's tan and now a size zero, and still losing weight rapidly - She's beginning to see faults in the other PC members and is kissing major ass to Massie. Just might be time she earns beta status, no?
Kristen Gregory: Is so out it's not even funny - She's still poor, still wearing cheap knock offs, and still too focused on school. She still has overbearing parents and she's never getting anytime to hang out with her crew. She tries to keep up with them, but is failing so hard it feels like she's not even a member of the a-list clique anymore. Who knows how long she will be...
