The Block Estate

Conference Room

2:38 pm Sunday March 1st, 2009

"Play it, play it!" Dylan and Kristen both squealed starring at the black Apple Mac computer sitting at the head seat at the conference rooms table where of course, Massie was seated. "Alright alright!" The Alpha commanded and then let out a quiet giggle.

This is it Massie thought.

This is another video from Skye. We won the key a while ago but I so knew there would be more!

Massie Block was referring to the newly delivered scarlet red cd-rom that Gregour-Skye's driver- had just brought over. Massie popped in the red DVD into the computer and tapped her fresh Plum Purple Givenchy nail polish as she awaited the DVD to load. "Finally." She let out an annoyed sigh. Before clicking the PLAY button, she smoothed and tightened her chestnut brown side pony and straightened her D&G grey and white pin striped blazer that she wore over dark wash Tommy Hilfiger jeans.

She pressed PLAY.

"Hello viewers." Skye appeared on the screen instantly wearing a fuzzy red crown and queen staf. "This is a video telling you all about my new project. I am giving you the opportunity to be an 9th grade Alpha. And Beta. You, the pretty committee, your first assignment is to decide which of my three options you would like to chose.

Reject my offer

Pick one of your group members to be the 9th grade Alpha

Or three, my personal fav, all five of you compete in a competition for the two spots.

The competition choice will be sort of like a pageant. You will all compete in looks, Alpha status, fashion, fashion smarts, and how you handle situations and more.

I'm going to need your decision by Wednesday. Bye!"

Massie said nothing and just hit EJECT. The room was blank until Alicia broke the dead silence.

"Ehmygod! X8!" The girls just stared at each other then all burst out in to there 'Ehmygod' screams. Massie stood up and peered out the navy curtains on the two closed French doors. She returned to the table and pulled out her silver I-Phone.

"Who are you calling?" Claire curiously asked. "Skye, duh. Not like we need three days to decide that moi will be the new 9th grade Alpha." Massie explained. "But we haven't decided yet." Kristen confusedly asked. "Yeah, how do you know that none of us want to try to win?" Alicia fiercely asked. "Guys come on. Wait are you serious? All of us, compete against each other?" Massie tried to cover-up the fact that there was no competition between her and all of them.

"Whatmakesyousosureyourgoingtowin?" Alicia sped out quickly and then stared with her mouth wide open.

Did I just say that?

"She's right." Dylan backed Alicia up. The four girls walked out of the room and straight into the Range Rover with Isaac reading the paper waiting to take them back home. Claire just stood there for a minute, and then she walked out the door down to the Block's guest house where her family lived.

"Bean. WTH just happened?" Massie asked Bean who was sitting on the rolling chair next to hers wearing a red and navy striped tie.
