10:37 AM

Massie's new iphone buzzed in her lap and she quickly glanced down to see Alicia's screen name HOLAGURRL,lighting up the screen.

MASSIEKUR: WHO CARES!

Massie slammed her phone into her lap not even caring if her old musty teacher saw. Couldn't she start eighth grade without LBR wannabees invading her school? It was bad enough that the boys were here and Massie had to be in control 24/7 so she could prove her alphaness to Derrick. Massie fumed the rest of French class not even paying attention on how to conjugate her irregular verbs. The second the bell rang, she leaped out of her seat and tore off down the hall to her locker where the rest of the pretty committee was waiting her arrival.

"Who do they think they are?" Massie screeched as she flipped the dial on the lock to her locker. When it popped open she shoved her head inside and inhaled Chanel No. 19 until she no longer felt dizzy. She slowly pulled her head out of her locker and took off down the hall, snapping her fingers in the air to signal that the pretty committee should follow her. They slammed their lockers as fast as they could and ran after her.

Massie stalled at the doors to the cafe, letting the pretty committee catch up to her, with Alicia pumping her arms and walking as fast as her tiny legs could carry her. Once Alicia caught up Massie turned on the girls.

"This entrance is cuh-rucial. No messing up. Now look over the girl next to you. She better look PERFECT!" Massie finished and looked over Alicia who was to her right. She looked like a goddess as always and Massie moved her eyes along to Dylan, who was wiping Luna bar crumbs off her shirt. Massie rolled her eyes and whispered, "Ready? Now were walking to the Jonas brother's "SOS". Ah five, six, sev-uhn, eight."

Massie threw open the café's doors and the girls walked inside, eyes focused on table eighteen, the best table in the café. Each girl looked for her mark on the table and once Massie found the purple nail polish streak, Alicia her NO LBR'S sticker, Dylan's hardened gum, Claire's blue doodled heart, and Kristen's soccer ball sticker the girls slid into their respective seats. As if on cue, each girl leaned forward so they formed a tight circle.

"Alicia, look up and tell me what table they're sitting at," Massie ordered.

Alicia peeked over Claire's messy hair and looked around, quickly spotting the girls at table fifteen which was only five feet from their own.

"Table fifteen" Alicia whispered.

"Is everyone looking at us or them?" Massie asked with dread. This would help them decide how big of a threat icandy could be.

All the girls peeked over their shoulders and examined the other girls in the cafeteria. Instead of paying attention to the pretty committee, they were looking at icandy with curiosity and interest. Massie's heart dropped into her stomach and Alicia gasped and slapped her petite hand over her mouth. All the girls turned back to Massie, waiting for her opinion.

However Massie just stared at the table. Her mind was racing and she felt like she was going to be sick. She was losing control, just like she had when Nina the Obscene-a had moved into Westchester and tried to overtake OCD with her short shorts and tacky boots. Massie was not going to let that happen, not again.

"Hello? Massie?" Alicia waved her hand in front of Massie's perfect face.

"Sorry. Alicia, stats now." Massie responded coolly. She couldn't lose her control. The pretty committee needed her. Alicia leaned in and pulled out a pink index card from her Ralph Lauren bowler bag.

"Okay. They transferred from ADD. They claim that they had enough money to go to BOCD but they wanted to "try out" public school. I think their clique failed at ADD so they decided to move awn. Their Alpha is Jennifer. She's the one with the curly blonde hair. She never worn jeans and all the guys claim she's the hottest. Tiffany is her beta. She's the one with the brown curly hair in the dark wash jeans. She loves photography and her facebook page is filled with pictures of the girls at multiple A-list events. Alexis is the one who's more quiet and innocent, kind of like Claire. She's the one with the blonde bob. She has a long-term boyfriend at ADD but unlike Claire she's very obsessed with fashion."

Massie nodded taking it all in, all the while stealing glances at table fifteen. She felt better after hearing all this information because the girls seemed more real instead of an anonymous threat.

"Hannah is the sporty girl of the clique with the light brown straight hair. She plays volleyball and soccer and she plans on joining both teams here at BOCD. She however does not care much about her grades. Kate is the girl with red hair and freckles. She's very into yoga and shopping. She had a yoga teacher come to her home gym twice a week to teach yoga to icandy."

Alicia leaned her head in more and the others followed suit, knowing this was the most crucial information.

"Now, the most important part, most of the girl's in our grade still have loyalty to Massie but are simply curious about icandy. They're not sure what to think and they are all wondering if there's going to be a competition between us and them. The girls who are voting for icandy are people like Olivia, Strawberry, and Kori. Basically all the girls Massie has been openly mean to in the past. There aren't that many of them and I don't see them liking the new girls for long. That's all I gathered but I'll make sure to research more tonight."

Alicia sat back in her plastic chair and took a deep breath, obviously pleased with herself for getting that much information in such a short period of time. Massie nodded at Alicia with a satisfied grin and stared at the table, trying to think of what to say to her best friends. They were now staring at her, waiting for her thoughts. Massie took a deep breath and plastered her signature grin on her face.

"We're just going to have to remind everyone just how fabulous we are! Once we show that were not nervous about this invasion, everyone will realize that nuh-thing has changed! Because it hasn't. Were number one. As always. Now on the count of three, laugh like there's no tomorrow. One, two, three…"

The pretty committee cracked up and held their sides as their laughter grew and soon enveloped the entire café. Soon every girl's eye was back where it rightfully belonged. On the five gorgeous girl sitting at table eighteen.

After the fake laughing died down, Massie smiled at the girls and they all clinked their plastic cups together in victory.

"Excuse me, Maysee?" a confident voice echoed over the girl's heads. Slowly Massie took her eyes off Alicia and slowly looked up at a tall blonde girl with curly hair standing in front of the pretty committee with the rest of icandy at her side.

"Can I help you?" Massie replied sweetly.
