BLOCK ESTATE
5:15 AM
AUG. 18TH
"Massie dear" Kendra Block whispered quietly. "Honey, time to wake up"
Massie groaned and rolled over, ignoring her mother. "Massie, its your first day of school, wake up." This got Massie's attention. She sat strait up, immediately awake and alert. "Thanks mom" she chirped. She dragged herself out of bed and nearly tripped over a sleeping Alicia. Maneuvering her way around the rest of the pc, who had spent the night, she flipped on the light switch. She was met by a series of groans and mumbles to turn off the light, and five more minutes. " Come awn! We have gawt to get ready for school! This tricked worked just as well on the pc as it did on Massie. They were up and moving faster then you could say Prada. When she was sure the girls weren't going to go back to sleep on her she grabbed her phone and headed to the bathroom for a shower. She checked the clock 5:30 am. They would need to leave in an hour, not much time. She flipped the handle to hot and hopped on the counter. While waiting for the water to heat up she unlocked her phone and sent a quick txt to Derrington.
Massie: hey : ) rise and shine sleepy.
Derrick: Mass. It's 6 Am
Massie: 5:45 ;)
Derrick: go back to sleep block
Massie: puh-lease you don't thing I look this good without SOME work
After that derrick quit responding. Ugh boys Massie thought to herself. She stepped out of her shower feeling new and refreshed. She wrapped a soft lavender color towel around her tiny waist and slipped on her powder pink push up from Victoria's secret. She stepped out of the bathroom door a cloud of steam billowing behind her. Her bedroom was cold compared to the bathroom so she hurried to her closet to get dressed. She threw open the doors of her closet; pulling the outfit she had picked out the day before. A charcoal silk BCBG tunic with three quarter sleeves, a pair of white washed miss me jean shorts, and a pair of purple Prada pumps. 30 minutes later Massie's hair was brushed and curled to glossy perfection. Her face was bronzed and blushed, her lashes curled and coated with a layer of MAC mascara. She finger ironed a few wrinkles out of her tunic. "sooo, how do I look?" Massie said twirling slowly so the girls could admire her outfit." Alicia spoke up first "so cute, I'd say at LEAST nine poing sev-uhn!" Massie mock pouted. "What can I do to be 9.9?" "Here" Kristen said , handing her a pair of big Gucci sunglasses. "perf" said Dylan. "10.1!" Claire said. "everyone's going to be so jealous" Massie said with a smirk. "Point" Alicia said holding up one finger. Alicia stepped up next, modeling her outfit. "too cute!" Dylan said giving Alicia a high five. Kristen analyzed the outfit before saying, "I gotta admit leesh you look gooood" Alicia smile-thanked Kristen and did a little curtsy. "I have good taste."said massie nodding her approval. After the rest of the girl's outfits had been rated at least a 9 or above (with the exception of Claire who had gotten an acceptable 8.8) they headed downstairs to wait for Isaac. They took the extra time to discuss the upcoming year but they had to be quiet so they didn't wake her family. " do you think there will be any cute boys?" Kristen whispered. "Opposite of no!" Alicia giggled whispered, high fiving Claire. Massie rolled her eyes "guys we can nawt still be high fiving each other." Claire's cheecks reddened but Alicia just stared at Massie, bored. Dylan picked at the cuticle of one perfectly manicured nail. "we ah-viously have to pick out the best seats, and the best table. I hear BOCD had the kah-utest little café for lunch." "shouldn't be hard." Kristen said. "Everyone knows who we are. They wont dare touching the good table." "Cha-yea" Alicia agreed. "Everyone is gonna be so jealous" Claire giggled into her hand. "Given" Massie said holding up her finger like Alicia. The girls burst into hushed giggles, just as Isaac pulled into the driveway.

GABRIELLA'S ESCALDE
7:15 AM
AUG. 18TH
Gabriella slid into the seat of the black Escalade. The seat was warm and the leather was soft and buttery. Everything about the Escalade invited her in like a new pair of UGGS on a cold winter day. She breathed in deeply inhaling the scent of the car. It smelled like a mix of new car and the warm cinnamon of James's Ralph Lauren cologne. She relaxed back against the seat letting her head rest. She didn't even worry about squishing her perfect blowout. Her new Pantene hairspray would hold it . "Where to first Mrs. Santos?" she thought for a moment. Avery lives closer but Lauren was her beta, she better Pick her up first, out of respect. "Lauren's please James" Gabriella cooed sweetly. "Yes Mrs. Santos" James took off down the street. Once they were on their way Gabriella put up the screen to block off James so he couldn't hear their conversation. She unzipped her bag and brought out her clipboard. The clipboard had a piece of paper on it with the days goals listed in order by priority, most important first. As an alpha she was nothing if not organized. They pulled into a long paved driveway and Gabriella realized they had arrived. She shot a quick txt to the rest of her friends warning them they were on their way. Then she sent one just to Lauren.
Gabriella: were here bitch get out here ; )
Lauren: okay okay, im coming gawsh hehe
Gabriella: hurry
Gabriella threw her phone back into her Prada fairy bag when Lauren came outside. She jumped into the seat next to her and Gabriella tapped on the screen to let James know they could go. After the rest of the girls had been picked up Gabriella pulled out the clipboard again. At the top of the paper in loopy cursive letters were the words 'the list'. None of the girls had to ask what it was they already knew. Unlike most of the cliques they came in contact with they didn't just expect to be popular. They always had goals, plans, and strategies to claw their way to the top. Before she went over the list Gabriella handed each of the girls a Starbucks coffee and a low fat banana nut muffin. Then she started reading from the top of the list
THE LIST
1: FIND BOYFRIENDS (CUTE/POPUALR)
EX: DERRICK HERRINGTON
2: GET GOOD TABLE AT LUNCH
EX: NEAR A WINDOW OR WITH A VIEW
3: STRIP ANY CLIQUE OF THEIR THRONE
EX: HUMILLIATE OR GET IN TROUBLE
4: RULE THE SCHOOL
EX: CONTINUE AS USUAL :)
When she had finished there was a moment of silence then the girls praised their alpha with applause and "you go girls". "Thanks thanks, it was nothing" Gabriella said accepting their praise, a warm fuzzy feeling rose up in her stomach just like it always did when her apla-ness was at work. At the beginning of middle she had been part of another clique, but she had just been another member, not even a beta. Sure it was great to be included no matter what but it was nothing compared to being the alpha. Now she didn't even know how she could go on not being an alpha. She swore silently to herself that she would never go back to being just another member. The car rolled to a stop and Gabriella realized they were there. "Okay ladies" she said getting out of the car. "lets do this" they all said in union. Then they strutted in sync through the doors of BOCD.
