I edited the first two chapters the teensiest bit, so I'll say this again...
I don't own the Pretty Committee. Lisi Harrison does.
I do own Spencer, Nicola, Catey, and Jamie and Jen. And Coco!

"First day jitters, Kuh-laire?" giggled Kristen as she got out of the car. Claire was wearing a very puffy puffer. She was shivering and shaking from the cold.
"Ugh," Alicia groaned. "I can barely button up my coat!" She said, gesturing towards her chest. It was true. The camel-colored pea-coat looked like it was going to explode from squeezing in her enormous C-cups.
"Then don't!" Kristen said, wrapping her quilted black Burberry jacket as tightly around her as possible.
"Suck it up," Massie said, swiping a tube of Krispy Creme Glossip Girl across her lips. "On the count of three, we're walking to When I Grow Up by the Pussycat Dolls."
"Got it!" they all agreed.
"Ah-five, six, five, six, sev-uhn, eight!"
When I grow up.
I wanna be famous.
I wanna be a star.
I wanna be in movies.
They walked in perfect unison. Right, left, right, left. They entered the building first and then entered the cafeteria. They were almost the last ones there, but Table 18 had been untouched, thank God! They sat down in their usual seats. New seventh graders had swamped the cafeteria, only a few tables were empty.
"Settle down!" called Principal Burns. Principal Burns began to go on-and-on. In the middle of introducing the new dean, Dean Marcus, five impossibly beautiful girls strut into the cafeteria, arms linked, walking in perfect unison. They floated into the room and sat down at Table 16. The boys whooped and hollered, including Massie's ex-boyfriend, Derrick Harrington, or Derrington.
"Ladies, nice of you to join us," greeted Principal Burns. "Now, I'd like silence."
The girls shrugged and began texting. Principal Burns didn't notice.
Massie's phone suddenly vibrated, as each of TPC's did. She looked down at the text.
KRISTEN: ? R THEY?
MASSIE: IDK. ALICIA, DO U KNOW SOMETHING?
ALICIA: THEY R NEW. JUST TRANSFERRED HERE FROM A SCHOOL IN NYC.
DYLAN: OMG!
CLAIRE: WHY?
MASSIE: IDK. BUT I DO KNOW THAT THEY AREN'T A THREAT 2 TPC. (:
KRISTEN: BURNS IS BEGINNING 2 STARE!
They each quickly shut off their phones and turned their attention to Dean Marcus's speech. Massie decided to look at the new girls instead.
There was one girl with auburn hair. Her hair was kind of black, with a tint of red. Her eyes were as strange as Cam's! One was green with gold specks, and the other was a distinctive violet color. She was very tall, taller than Massie. She was carrying a black leather bag that Massie recognized from French Vogue. The Gucci wasn't even out in Europe yet, let alone America! The way she held herself, you could tell she was the leader.
The girl to her left had porcelain-like skin and wavy pale-blonde hair. Her eyes were a clear blue color, like the sky! She sat up so straight that it looked like her back was going to break if she even moved. She was dressed head to toe in black, which made her look very sophisticated and regal, but not exactly alpha. She was so tiny, even wearing 3-inch high heels. She looked very delicate.
The third girl had golden blonde hair with a tint of red. She was very tanned and even more toned than Kristen. Massie could tell right away that she was an athlete, from the neat and freshly ironed Lacoste polo to the Prada sneakers, both as white as Claire's new Keds. She was very athletic. Massie just couldn't quite figure out what sport she played. Kristen had great legs, because of her soccer. This girl had both the legs and arms of an athlete.
The last two girls were twins. They were identical and looked identical in every way. Both of them had dark brown hair the same exact color of a Hershey's milk chocolate bar and eyes the same color. They each had a half of a heart around their necks. Definately Tiffany's. Definately silver.
So, as Massie sized up the competition, the Dean said his final words.
"Let the year begin!"
And so it did.
