Octavian Country Day School (OCD)
Monday, January 17
7:45am
"Alright girls line up!" Alicia Rivera called to her friends as they stood behind the building of Octavian Country day School.
It was the day that everyone returned from school after Winter Break and the Pretty Committee's first school day with Alicia as their alpha.
"I swear I must look at least 500 pounds in this outfit" Dylan Marvil said.
"Puh lease Dyl you are nawt fat" Alicia said assuring her newly appointed beta.
"Well in this outfit I am" Dylan said.
"Well I thought you said white makes you look thinner" Kristen Gregory said as she struggled to change out of the geeky outfit her mother forced her to wear.
"No it doesn't but the stupid producers want me to look chubbier apparently" Dylan said.
Did they say those exact words?" Claire Lyons asked.
"No" Dylan said.
"Then I doubt he wants you to look fat" Claire said.
"Whatevs…just take my word for it being a TV star SUCKS" Dylan said.
"It's not that bad…at least you'll get swarmed by LBRs asking for autographs" Kristen said.
"Speaking of stars how was your first practice with the Soccer Sisters?" Claire asked.
"Great! They put me on right offense right now but the coach said that if I improve she'll put me as center!" Kristen said.
"What time is it in England right now?" Dylan asked.
"I think Massie said it was five hours ahead" Claire said.
"We'll face time her during lunch now come awn we need to make our grand entrance" Alicia said.
"And you have to rate us" Kristen pointed out.
"Oh…right" Alicia sighed that was another strike against her. The rating was always done before school and Massie never would have forgotten that. Neither would a true alpha for that matter.
"Can I go last?" Dylan asked.
"Nope…as Beta you are first now let's see, white Burberry London Trench coat, Grey Prada Suede tampered pants, and tulle striped cotton top by Red Valentino. 9" Alicia said.
"Thanks" Dylan said brightening up a slight bit.
Alicia rated Kristen an 8.5 and Claire an 8. "Alright girls…ready?" she finally asked.
"Yep!" the PC chorused back.
"Alright we'll walk to the beat of 'When I Grow Up' by the Pussycat Dolls got it?" Alicia said.
"Let's do this" Dylan, Kristen, and Claire said.
When I grow up I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star I wanna be in movies
When I grow up I wanna see the world, drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
The front doors to Octavian Country Day School opened and in walked Alicia, Dylan, Kristen, and Claire.
The whole school watched in shock as they expected everything to be totally different without Massie there but surprisingly everything looked exactly the same. It was almost as if there was no Massie Block to begin with.
A bunch of seventh graders ran up to Dylan asking for autographs as they had seen her on Marvilous Marvils which had received 4.5 stars in its first episode.
"Um I have a question" a sixth grader asked Alicia.
"Yeah?" Alicia said expecting the girl to ask how she was so gorgeous or how she planned on dominating the school or something like that.
"Who's going to be the alpha now that Massie's gone?"
"Excuhuse you?" Alicia asked.
The girl rolled her eyes, "I said who is going to be the alpha now that Massie's gone. You know, Massie Block."
"I'm nawt an idiot ya know? FYI I'm the new alpha now scram!" Alicia barked amazed at herself for handling the situation quite well.
"Girls! Girls! Everyone go to class let's go! I know you're all excited to be back" Principal Burns said coming through the hallway and the girls all rolled their eyes.
Alicia, Dylan, Kristen, and Claire all walked to their classes and Alicia mouthed 'meet up at lunch.' To which the girls nodded.
Claire looked at her schedule which had been changed for the second semester and saw that she had yoga now.
She chuckled at the humiliating memory of when Alicia had painted red paint on her and Dylan had sent her to the wrong room (the yoga room) where Massie was waiting. Now as she recalled that time she couldn't believe that those girls had all now grown to be her best friends.
Originally, Claire was worried if she would even remain in the Pretty Committee now that Massie was gone and wondered if Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen were forced to like her because of Massie but those worries quickly faded when the girls met up at Alicia's house the day earlier to get their outfits back together.
Claire remembered the time about a month before Massie left that she had started a revolt with Layne to start a new Claire-a. That only worked for one day when Massie was absent and the next day she returned and made sure she had her alpha grip right back on track.
As the memories continued to flood through her brain she couldn't help but think 'I have to tell Mass about this later' but she quickly realized that that wasn't exactly a possibility because she'd have to wait a while until she spoke with her friend due to time zone differences.
Claire tried not to cry and instead began to sing in her head 'raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.'
The long hallway seemed to last forever but eventually she found her class and as she stood up straight and walked into the room she felt a renewed sense of confidence.

"Ehmagawd I swear if I had to sit through another one of Ms. Vole's lectures about food and nutrition I might've died right on the spot" Dylan said.
"What was she saying?" Kristen asked.
"I don't about how quote 'eating more than 3 servings of carbs a day is unhealthy like bitch I'll eat what I want when I want screw off!"
"She's so annoying" Claire said.
"I know but wait until you hear this!" Alicia said.
"What?" the Pretty Committee asked.
"OK so that girl Peyton Lowry, the one who thinks she like the best thing ever which ahbviously she isn't. So anyways she was like 'Excuhuse me other people need to get through the door' because I was checking my phone to see is Massie had texted me and then I said 'well you're going to have to wait' so Peyton's friend turns to her and is like 'excuse her for being a bitch she's just jealous' Can you buhlieve that or what?" Alicia said.
"Jealous of what?" Claire asked.
"Probably because we're more popular than she'll ever be" Dylan said casually.
"Point" Alicia said.
"Speaking of bitches Kori Gedman has been being a major one to me lately" Kristen said.
"Why?" Claire asked.
"Probably because I got accepted to the Soccer Sisters and she didn't" Kristen said.
"Tell her to turn her hunchback around and suck it up" Alicia said.
"Whatever I don't want to be mean" Kristen said.
"You're probably doing the right thing" Claire said.
"Where's Layne? Usually she comes up to us and asks about our current 'status updates' or whatever" Kristen said.
"I don't know nor do I care" Alicia said.
"Harsh" Dylan said.
"Maybe a bit" Alicia said smirking.
Suddenly the chorus of Justin Timberlake's Suit and Tie came from Alicia's purse.
"Who is it?" Kristen asked.
"Aidan…I wonder if anything's ever going to come of it" Alicia said.
"We should go over to Briarwood and flirt with the ninth graders over there" Dylan said.
"Yeah they're probably pretty hot if I remember correctly" Kristen said.
"You know me…I'm with Cam and don't plan on leaving him any time soon" Claire said.
"Come awn Kuh laire it's not like you're going to marry him" Alicia said.
"So what? I'm with him now and I don't want to upgrade I thought we established that" Claire said.
Alicia frowned, if Massie was still alpha, Claire would probably be a little bit less defiant but whatever.
"I don't think I can focus on guys right now" Kristen said.
"Soccer" Dylan burped.
"Ewww!" Alicia said.
"While I would say the same it is true" Kristen said.
"Count me out too" Dylan said.
"Why?" Alicia asked.
"Because I'm a star!" Dylan said in a high pitched voice.
"Ugh!" Alicia said cackling.
On the inside she couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed…was she really that insignificant? Was there going to be no more 'alpha' in the group anymore?
REVIEW PLZZ XD!
