Massie block found herself in the midst of total confusion as she stepped on the brick stair leading up to the doors of her school – Octavian Country Day Academy – her all girls, 100 elite school. Something didn't look right. OCD didn't look…regular.
"What the heck is going on here?" Massie caught up to her best friend, Alicia Rivera, who was applying lip-gloss at her locker (as usual).
Alicia didn't respond. When she didn't answer, Massie waved her hand in front of Alicia. Alicia smacked her hand and forced it down. "Stop." She said.
Massie furrowed her eyebrows. This was NOT good. Her beta was supposed to answer her and worship her at all times. How would Massie survive without the knowing that she is the only truly perfect girl in school?
Massie walked towards Kristen Gregory and Dylan Marvil, who were talking to each other at their lockers across the hall. "Hey guys!" Massie said. Again, she got ignored from her friends. Massie stared at Kristen, but she didn't stop talking to Dylan, who seemed all-to-interested in what Kristen was saying to look up at Massie.
"You guys all suck!!" Massie said. She felt like crying. It wasn't like her friends to ignore her. She was the queen bee. She was Massie Block.
Massie's only choice was to visit the girl that had been staying with her over the past few months – Claire Lyons. Massie didn't really want to be seen with Claire, but she often was. Where the heck was Claire? Massie knew that her mother had driven her to school that day, but she didn't know that Claire was ignoring her too? What had Massie done that made everyone ignore her?
"KUH-LAIRE?? Where are you Claire??" Massie shouted down the hallways. Everyone was whispering. Why? Normally she had people staring at her to figure out the latest trends. She loved her adoring fans…Where were they all?
Massie finally found Claire talking to Layne Abeley in the cafeteria. She was laughing at Layne for some odd reason. Layne's crimped jet-black hair and pink extension made her look even goofier in her pink, orange and yellow camouflage pants and white stained tee shirt. Layne's orange coat was slung over the chair she was sitting at.
Suddenly, it hit Massie strait in the face. Claire and Layne were sitting at table 18! That was the Pretty Committee's table only. And the whole school knew it! Why was Claire inviting Layne (a total Loser Beyond Repair) to sit at Massie's exclusive table? Massie didn't have a problem with Claire sitting there…But Layne? WHY??
"Hello?" Massie sat at the end of the table and stuck her arms out in between Layne and Claire.
"Oh, hello, Massie." Layne said, not taking her eyes off of Claire.
"Are you normal?" Massie asked.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Layne laughed. She snorted and made Massie cringe.
"What's wrong with Claire?" Massie looked at Claire Lyon's.
"Nothing." Layne said.
Massie gave up. Layne was hiding something and Massie just knew it. There was something going on…And it was up to her to find out.
