Authors note: in last chapter they were flashbacks from the previous year.
DISCLAMER: I don't own the Clique.
Flashback from It's not east being mean slightly changed.
"Masks" is the Clique books with a Pretty Little Liars twist.
In Westchester we all strive to perfection, or at least try. From nailing that dance routine, scoring the winning goal in soccer, getting an A on the test, or just looking perfect like the rest of Westchester. For Dylan it is squeezing into a size two, Kristen getting into an Ivy League college, Claire being a good girl, Alicia dancing her way to the top, and Massie trying not to loose her spot as queen bee. Oh and they all try to keep their shit together, but why be a Pretty Committee member if you can't have a little fun? Well sometimes that fun turns dangerous, it is all fun and games till someone goes missing.
So who goes missing, you will find out soon enough. But were there any signs before to tell us who was going to go? Was there ever a way to prevent this?
Dylan Marvil pig-pressed her nose against the bay window in Massie Block's bedroom and then craned her neck slightly left toward the gated entrance of the Block estate.
"Um, Massie what are Cam and Harris doing at your house?" Dylan asked curiously
Dropping the armload of designer clothes she'd been color coding for Massie, Claire Lyons scurried to Dylan's side. Alicia Rivera tossed her Teen Vogue on the hardwood floor, slid off Massie's fluffy, lavender-scented, and wiggled between them. Massie rolled her hazel eyes and looked back at her reflection uninteresting with the Fishers. Kristen Gregory balanced on her tiptoes, straining to see over their heads.
"Who knows who cares?" Massie returned to her life sized mannequin "Probably just here to see Kuh-laire."
"Yeah," Kristen quickly stated than turned her head as if she couldn't stand looking at them any longer, which was impossible.
Harris and Cam were insanely hot. Harris with his black floppy hair and stunning green eyes, Harris could totally be Abercrombie model. It was too bad though that Harris was a senior and that meant that none of the Pretty Committee could have him. Kristen's cheap cell phone beeped; she quickly achieved it from the pocket of her tiny yellow and green shorts. Kristen's lips formed into a wide smile, she typed something and than pulled her phone back into her pocket.
"Who was that?" Claire asked turning her head back to Kristen while Alicia and Dylan stared at the insanely hot brothers.
"Oh my soccer friend sent me a video of Stewie shaking his butt like a girl." Kristen shrugged
"Fascinating!" Massie cheered sarcastically "Now would you all stop drooling and see if my outfit looks perfect."
Alicia stepped away from the window; Dylan did to than looked back longingly at the window like she would never see the Fishers ever again. Massie fastened a thin gold belt around her mannequins waist than stepped back they all examined the mannequin like a fine piece of art. Everyone was examining the mannequin, except for Alicia who was picking off the purple lint from Massie's bed off her leggings.
"Claire you have a visitor!" Inez said over the intercom
Claire smiled than rushed out of Massie's room to go downstairs, Alicia rolled her eyes, Dylan envy glared at Claire leaving, Kristen glanced at her toned calves, and Massie wished Derrington was there.
"Claire is so lucky she is dating a Fisher," Kristen moaned
"Or dating at all!" Dylan groaned.
Eleven outfit changes on the mannequin, two awkward silences, gossiping, and ten minutes later Claire was back smiling.
"Cam gave me gummies!" Claire bragged
"Wow. Apparently he wants more junk in your trunk." Alicia pointed at how flat Claire was on both ends.
"At least Cam wants to hang out with me!" Claire snorted
"Would you guys shut up I am actually doing something important!" Massie yelled turning away from the mannequin "In case you forgot, the Pretty Committee was just expelled from OCD for three weeks because we ran off into the woods on a class field trip and got lost." Massie put her hands on her narrow hips "The point is, in less than twenty-four hours we'll be walking the halls at OCD while hundreds of jealous eyeballs scan us, searching for flaws"
"Why would they do that?" Claire scratched her blond eyebrows. "You always say everyone loves the Pretty Committee.'
"No. I always say they want to be us." Massie swatted her flirty new chocolate colored side part away from her amber eyes. "Which means they're secretly studying us, hoping to spot a weakness so they can-"
"A weakness?"
"Yeah, like an out-of-place hair." Alicia pointed to her perfect side part.
"Or bad grades," Kristen offered.
"Or an open fly." Dylan covered her fly
Read the rest of It's not easy being mean the first chapter to see what happens didn't need to copy of the whole book my work is done.
We all have our weakness. Just like the girl who went missing. Don't worry next time you will find out who went missing, that isn't even the real story. Any guesses on who went missing, who did it, most importantly why? Just remember the only thing harder than getting in is staying in ………
Alive that is.
