A/N: Heya! How have you been? Once again, I apologize for any delay. BTW, bullchizz155 and I worked on this together. She is a CCFisher shipper, so I just had to include a few lines of that!

The Hallway

7:57 am

"Ready?" Massie asked the girls while they were in front of her locker. They had all gone to the mall and spa the day before, buying clothes, shoes, accessories… well, everything. They looked fabulous, as though the world's top designers dipped them in fashion.

"Affirmative." Kristen wore a blue American Vintage Jacksonville top and a pair of grey leggings, with a yellow skinny leather belt and black with gold studded heels, ankle booties.

"Ahb-solutely!" Dylan wore a blue tank top, a pair of white Morgan shorts and white ankle booties, with about five or six inch heels.

"Yes." Alicia wore a white, laced, leather jacket with scrunched sleeves to her elbows, a black tank top and a black, lace, knee-length, ruffled skirt with a pair of white knee-length boots. Her hair was curlier than usual.

"Of course!" For once, Claire was dressed in a way that made her fit in with the crew. She wore a tight blue tank top, an even tighter purple and white floral knee-length skirt, and brown Mario Giordano sandals. She had straightened her bangs and the rest of her hair was curled into tight ringlets, left to rest on her shoulder blades.

Massie wore a pink crop tank, white floral patterned leggings and black knee-high boots. A section of her belly showed though her outfit and her brown hair with new blue and pink highlights gave her the look.

"Um, Massie, we're singing the songs today," Kristen said.

"Oh, yeah. Claire and I are singing Give It Up. Kristen, you and Dylan sing Bad For Me. Alicia, tell Mari that you guys are singing Eyes Open, okay?"

"Okay."

The five girls made their dramatic entrance into the homeroom. Massie half-wished there was a fan blowing their hair back. They sat down at their spots, satisfied with the approving glances they got.

"Smoking." Kemp ran his eyes appreciatively over Dylan.

"Alicia, you look amazing." Josh smiled at her.

"Kristen, looking good!" Griffin hi-fived her.

The Committee sat back and waited for Amarilis to walk in and beat their entrance. A few minutes later, Amarilis walked in wearing a knee-length yellow summer dress with yellow and white polka-dotted flats. Her hair had white highlights, and yellow and orange hair extensions with a pink, purple and yellow feather for good luck, and some traditional beads from Africa. She was talking to Cam when she walked in, who wore a black t-shirt, skinny jeans and black All Stars. She was laughing and smiling, and it ticked Claire off. To the other side of her was Derrick, who wore a blue t-shirt, a black leather jacket, Air Jordans. He looked like he was also contributing to Amarilis' joy, and it made Massie see green and red.

Mari and Chris were right behind them, laughing and chatting as well. Mari wore a pair of white jeans, black boots and a yellow off-the-shoulder top with a white vest underneath. Her blonde hair was in a side braid and tied with a yellow ribbon. Chris wore a white t-shirt, jeans and black vans.

Mrs Amazon came into the class not long after. She sat at her desk and said, "Barbera Cooper and Joshua Lebowitz, come and perform your song."

The pairs came and went, and then it got to Dylan and Kristen's turn.

"Hey!" Kristen started. "So… Dylan and I are going to sing Bad for Me by Megan and Liz. If you'll be able to tell, I'll sing Megan's part and Dyl will sing Liz's part."

"… You feel so good, but you're so bad for me," they ended.

The whole class applauded. They loved their voices. Massie was impressed. With their voices and their new wardrobe, their sort-of-Alpha statuses were going to improve massively.

Alicia and Mari were next, singing Eyes Open by Taylor Swift. Wanting to be the star of the duet, Alicia sang most of it, leaving Mari to sing as a back-up singer. All the same, their voices were like those of angels singing to God. Apart from Massie – who felt like giving Alicia and Mari [somehow] the entire world – Josh and Chris were very impressed.

Massie and Claire were next. As soon as they stood at the front, designed to look like a podium, gasps erupted from the contesting audience. Everyone was shocked because of Claire's new outfit. She was indeed hiding her hotness with all those baggy clothes. Amarilis seemed to be a little irritated about the way Cam stared dazedly at Claire. He was still more in love with Amarilis, or so he thought, but he was shocked. Claire looked hot.

Massie and the rest of the Committee – excluding Claire – dreaded the moment. The last time Claire sang, she sounded like a frog, and they were glad Massie was her partner. They were surprised when Claire sang perfectly in Give It Up by Ariana Grande and Elizabeth Gillies, as though she were a natural. Choir lessons had definitely paid off.

Claire mesmerized the class in the duet, but they were even more mesmerized when Amarilis sang. She was a born star. Realizing this, the Pretty Committee began to hate her even more. They suddenly did not feel like listening to Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men anymore. Derrick, Cam and Amarilis ended the song with each boy on either side of Amarilis with a star pose.

TPC were not even interested in listening to Kemp and Chris singing Live While We're Young by One Direction, or Griffin and Josh singing Fireflies by Owl City.

Claire and Massie could have sworn that Cam and Derrick almost kissed Amarilis. Was she stealing their boys and their popularity? They were the Pretty Committee, for crying aloud – the girls that everyone wanted to be like, talk to and be friends with. They could nawt imagine losing everything to a one-woman player, nor could they imagine losing their boys since the seventh grade to her. She was suddenly their number one enemy.

The bell rang, signalling lunchtime, and everybody began to pack up his or her things before leaving. As usual, the Committee waited for a while, none of them saying a word, especially Massie and Claire. As the girls walked through the hallways, earning more and more stares, Claire got irritated. She wanted Cam to stare at her, not them.

After taking their lunch, they joined Cam, Josh, Derrick, Griffin and Amarilis at their table. Massie sat by Derrick but remained silent, and Claire sat by Cam. It was not as fun as it usually was, since Amarilis sat on Cam's other side.

"You look great, Lyons," Cam said. "I love your outfit."

"Thanks honey. I'm glad you like it." She decided to flirt a little.

"You're just as good in anything you wear, darling."

Amarilis laughed at that and muttered Yeah, right. Claire heard her, but ignored her. Cam and Amarilis kept tapping away at their phones, but Claire could not see anything he typed, so she turned away and talked to the others instead.
