Massie's Ch. 3

It was Olivia Ryan. Did I forget to mention that anorexic LBR got held back? Whoops!

"Hello Olivia," I said in a monotone voice.

"Hey Olivia! What's up?" Dylan obviously forgot how much of an LBR she is. So not like a beta. But I already knew she couldn't. For one, I had to pick a good enough replacement for Alicia. Not that Dylan wasn't a good friend like Alicia, but Dylan just wasn't a natural like Alicia. It would be one thing if this didn't matter if we were in power, but it did. And Dylan and her awful manners would totally bump the whole clique down a notch.

Olivia opened the locker right next to us. "Looks like we can be locker buddies!" Oh no. I would've rather been stuck next to an LBR new 7th grader.

"So how was your summer?" Dylan told her whole summer story, and they walked to class together. I, meanwhile, was searching for the alpha. No sign of her yet. Maybe she'll stick out at lunch.

Why couldn't Dylan just shut up already? She should be talking to me, her alpha. Maybe I shouldn't include her in the clique. If I didn't though, she'd be bugging me to let her back in.

The classes came and went. Finally, lunch rolled around and that's when I spotted the alpha. She looked nothing like an alpha should. She blended in perfectly. No designer clothes, not a lot of makeup. The only way I knew she was the alpha was that everybody moved out of her way. Her posy was obviously the exact opposite of her. They were all in matching Juicy sweats and tops.

I now knew my target. Now I needed to study. And I wouldn't get a grade for studying on this, just become the alpha of eighth grade.

Dylan's Ch. 3

Olivia was actually really nice. I texted her during every class. Luckily, she's in the same position I am, so she gets to leave right after lunch with me. We decided to not eat, just sit, during lunch, and eat at the mall. Her driver would take us. This would be awesome!

Massie had her eye on a table, so Olivia and I followed her in hot pursuit. I didn't know why she was sitting there, but I followed her anyway. Massie made the first effort.

"Hi. My name's Massie Block, as if you didn't know me. What's your names?"

"Massie Block…sounds familiar," said the punky dresser. "Oh yeah! You're the person who I'm supposed to go to for the key to the secret room. After all, you can't expect to get it two years in a row."

Massie looked shocked. "How dare she!" I thought to myself. We can do whatever we want with the key. Should I stick up for my alpha? No, I'm sure she had a better comeback than I did.

"Are you my agent?" I could tell this would be one of Massie's famous comebacks.

"No, but I'd be glad to give you some tips if that's what you're trying to ask me. Starting with your makeup. Well maybe I shouldn't tell you to take it off because if you look like this with makeup, I'd hate to see you without."

"Ooooo!" responded everyone in the cafeteria. They apparently heard us. I could tell this was going to get nasty. Sadly, Olivia and I had to leave. I'm sorry I can't tell the fight to you from my point of view, but Massie will tell you in her next chapter.

Alicia's Ch. 3

Derrick walked up to the stage, high fiving some guys as he walked up. "Did you miss me?" He stood right next to me.

"Can't say I thought of you too much."

"Oh yeah. That's right. You and Josh."

"Actually, I ended the relationship. Since I was going to Alpha, I wouldn't be able to see him often, and besides, he is so eighth grade." The truth was, I wish Josh was standing next to me right now. Then, Derrick wouldn't have been talking to me.

"So, do you think Mr. Freshman is here?"

"I don't know. Maybe." I wanted him to just leave. I could tell back in 7th and 8th grade he totally was checking me out. I never liked him. I mean wiggling your butt is so first grade.

"At this time, I would like you all to look at your schedules, and go to your first class. Leave your supplies here, and by lunch, they should all be in your locker. Locker assignments are on the front board. Enjoy your first day at Alpha Academy!" At this point, I wished this was my last day, or at least Derrick's. That's what I had to do: get rid of Derrick. No, that would be too hard. Besides, I don't want to get expelled on my first day.

"Hey, maybe you and I could sit together at lunch or something." Derrick caught up with me. I don't understand how he could pick me out of about 100 girls. Must have some sixth sense: crush GPS. Wait, I just said crush. I didn't mean that. Well I mean it is quite obvious that he likes me, but I don't like him.

"Um, sure," I said, not thinking of my future.

"Okay. See you then."

"Bye." I think I just said yes to a date with Derrick. AHHH!!!

Kristen's Ch.3

I knew I had to do something to get that female dog off my back. I still had to make it to the office though. When I got there, the receptionist was nice. Since it was my first day and this was a new rule, they made an exception and just left me off with a warning. Thank Gawd! She showed me the table of lost and found items. I found a vest, polo, and a skirt. Then I rushed to the bathroom because the first period was just about to start.

The uniform didn't look too bad I guess. Still, it took away our freedom! But, I had more important things to concentrate on. Like finding my first class.

Suddenly as I turned the corner my life had one of those movie moments. I ran into a guy and my books fell to the floor. We both bent down to pick them up and when we looked into each other's eyes. It was crush at first site.

"Hey. Sorry bout that. My name's James. And yours would be?"

"Umm…" I blanked out. What was written on my school books?

"Your books say Kristen. That's a really nice name."

"Thanks. I'm not that much of a fan myself."

"Well what name do you like?"

"I always liked the name Samantha. Don't know why."

"Well since no one knows you're name or anything about you here, you can just say your Samantha."

"Maybe."

"Well I'll call you Samantha, Kristen. By the way, do you like to eat?"

"Uh yeah. Kinda have to. I mean I'm not anorexic."

"Well I'll meet you at lunch. Table 6."

"See ya!" Sweet! I already had a boyfriend on my first day.

RIIINNNNNGGGG!!! Oops! Late on the first day too.

Claire's Ch.3

"Great audition," Joe said as we walked out of the studio. "Nailed that one!"

"Yeah. Can we go to my house now?"

"You mean skip your other auditions?! No can do. At least showing that you're prompt will show that they can trust you for other shows."

I didn't want to go into another office. I wouldn't get the part anyways with my busy schedule.

"Oh and your parents wanted me to give you this. So you can do homework in the car with the internet."

An iPhone!! Wow! I couldn't believe this!

"It's already activated. Try it out!"

As I pressed the power button it was time for the next audition. I had to wait to try out my new present. As we waited in the audition room only to tell the director I had already been offered another part, I thought about what Cam would say when he found out about my part. I had to tell him sometime. I wanted to tell him now!

We finally walked out and Joe decided to just drop me off at my new house and tell the other directors I had already been offered another part.

When I got home, I figured out my iPhone, uploaded my contacts and songs, and texted Cam. He didn't text me back right away, but then I remembered he was still in school. That's right. I had to start my first lesson tomorrow with my new tutor. Hope she's nice.

I unpacked all my stuff by 10 that night. Cam hadn't texted back. Must have a lot of homework. Or he didn't check his texts. Oh well. I went to bed, wondering what tomorrow would bring.
