Claire POV
Block Estate
Claire's room
Monday May 9th
6:00 pm
"When I look into your eyes it's over you got me hooked with your love controller I'm tripping and I can not get over I'm feeling lucky like a four leaf clover 'cause I'm into you." J-Lo's new song woke Claire up at 6:00. Her first instinct was to press snooze, but she knew that Massie left to school at exactly 7:15am to be there early for student council on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and International Club on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For now, at least, once she gets friends with driver's licenses she'll be able to wake up at a normal time. She dragged herself out of bed and into her blue and white bathroom. After her 45 minute shower, she walked into her bedroom to find Massie there waiting.
"Why are you in my room?"
"Rude much? Anyways, I was just inquiring what you want for breakfast so Inez can have it ready by the time you come down. Apparently, your intercom was set up incorrectly, so she couldn't ask you herself."
"Oh, uhmm I'm not hungry." Claire shifted her gaze away from her cousin's burning amber one.
"Whatever, lunch in school is pretty good so it's not like you'll starve."
"Good to hear." Massie shrugged and walked away to get dressed. Claire decided to do the same, as it's her first day at BOCD High she needed to look pretty, but hot at the same time. It had to be New York meets California, neither one can overpower the other. After 15 minutes she decides on a Diane von Furstenberg Diem mini Jacquard knot skirt, paired with a black and blue Free People ten thousand island top. On her feet are black MICHAEL Michael Kors "Robertson" Wedge Sandals. She had braided her hair before bed so it appeared that she had just returned from the beach. Claire accessorized with a blue and black feather earring, and small sapphire earring on one side, a black diamond, and white diamond studs in the other ear. Her grandmothers necklace was an omnipresent accessory, minimal make up complete the Cali meets NY look. She went down to the kitchen to find Massie sitting there enjoying 2 pieces of French toast; Claire immediately envied her cousin for inheriting the Block metabolism, while she had inherited the Lyons'. Needless to say, Massie looked amazing, she's wearing a navy blue Aqua crochet back high/low tank that had the most beautiful crocheting on the back, white AG Adriano Goldschmied pixie shorts. Navy and white Tory Burch crisscross platform espadrilles adorned her perfect size 7 feet, showing off her French manicured toes. Massie's hair and been French braided to one side to showcase the crocheting of the shirt. Massie was definitely the fashionista of the group, Kristen clearly the sporty one, but Claire wondered what roles Alicia and Dylan played.
"Are you sure you don't want anything? I saved you a piece of French toast." Her cousin sing-songed. Claire's stomach begged her to say yes, but her head shook no and they went on their merry way.
They stopped after only 5 minutes of driving. Claire was confused, but not worried enough to ask what's going on. Seconds later she sees Alicia walking down the driveway that connected to an immense house. Alicia looked more professional than she had when she had first seen her. Then she wore shorts and a tank top, casual and effortless. Today she's wearing a tan Donna Karan mini tube skirt, a white Bailey 44 Tinkerbell top and tan patent leather Jimmy Choo pumps. Her raven and beautiful hair was pulled back by a tan cheetah print headband. 2 carat studs glittered from her ears.
"Hey Mass," Alicia said. "Oh, and hey Claire." She added shocked to see her.
"Hey." Massie and Claire responded simultaneously.
"You look great today Leesh."
"Really? You think so? And you look stunning Mass, is that the shirt we got at the mall last week?"
"Yeah, first day back from Spring Break, have to look pretty."
"Don't you mean you have to look pretty for Derrick?" Claire watched her cousin blush, she liked Derrick? "Poor Cam, he's in love with a girl that likes his best friend." She thinks to herself.
"Shut up! Derrick and me are just friends, unlike you and Josh who are in love."
Now it's Alicia's turn to blush as she mumbles something inaudible.
"Puh-lease! You and Josh have been in love ever since he moved here last year!"
"That's such a lie! I was going out with Kemp last year."
"But you broke up with him how many days after Josh got here?"
"Yeah well you and Derrick are in love, always have been always will be, so consummate your relationship already!"
"Alicia…"
"Yes Massie?"
"Am I Olivia Ryan?"
"No! God forbid Mass!
"Then why do you think I wanna have sex with Derrick?" Alicia laughed as Massie rolled her eyes. Claire just sat there, sure Olivia was a bimbo but she's her friend, one of the only she has in this place, how dare Massie make fun of her?
"What's up pretty ladies?" Claire had been so wrapped up in Massie and Alicia's conversation that she didn't notice the car stopping in front of another mansion. Red hair entered the car almost in a flash.
"Hey Dyl!" both girls yelled out happily. Claire felt Dylan stare at her and smiled in response. Dylan's skirt was gorgeous, she had seen it in the store yesterday but she knew she wouldn't be able to pull it off, Dylan; however seemed to have the natural ability to rock both her crazy hair and crazy printed skirt. The BCBGMAXAZRIA 'Britte' tribal print skirt had been paired with a simple white tank top, tucked in. The Betty T-strapped Ostrich platform sandals went with the outfit without upstaging it, as did her hair which was loose, but controlled by mousse. Claire remained quiet until they reached a third foreign house. It's much smaller than the others, but not exactly a dollhouse. Out came Kristen, looking almost exactly as she had the day before in dark wash True Religion Jess Pave denim shorts, which stopped an inch or two under her waist, and James Perse stripe slub shirttail tank. Matching black Converses with black and white pin striped shoe laces, along with a high slicked back ponytail completed the sporty but sexy look.
"Hello people." As if noticing the looks Massie, Alicia and Dylan gave her she continued. "My parents had to work early." She said as some sort of explanation. Kristen then looked at Claire, "My parents would flip a shit if they saw me in these clothes. " Claire nodded, the only sign that she had listened to her.
They arrived to school 2 minutes after leaving Kristen's house, at 7:34 am, almost half an hour before school starts. What was she gonna do for half an hour?

Front Lawn
Monday May 9th
7:35 am
"You can come to the meeting with us, seeing as you have nothing better to do for half an hour might as well come inside and get the Massie Block grand tour." Massie told her blonde cousin, not that she was trying to make friends, but someone could see her cousin alone outside like an LBR and it could negatively affect Massie's reputation. Claire in response follows her inside.
"Okay, so we need to talk about Junior Prom, as well as Senior Prom." Massie started off.
"Miss President?" interrupted a brunette with blue eyes.
"Yes, Kathy?"
"I thought Senior Prom was already settled?"
"It is but we need to decide the date to start selling tickets, as well as what page of the yearbook the prom pictures will be so we can leave that page empty." Kathy nodded, and Massie continued. "Junior Prom is what we have to decide, especially since we decided that its two weeks from this Saturday. And we don't have place, or a theme."
"Well we can have it at the Country Club; they owe your dad a favor anyways." Kristen put in wisely.
"We can have it on the Terrace! The weather is supposed to be great for the next month." Massie added and the room of 8 nodded their agreement.
"I think for a theme how about Hollywood Awards show? That way we can have a red carpet, goodie bags, and have paparazzi!" Alicia exclaimed excitedly.
"That's actually not a bad idea!" Dylan exclaims. "We can hire people to pose as celebrities through the years, and have only the hottest musicians perform!"
"Dyl and Leesh, you guys are awesome! This junior prom is going to be the best this school has ever seen! I'll talk to my daddy, about the place. Leesh talk to your dad about actual celebrities, or the best impersonators. Dyl you're on music and decorations, I'm sure your mom can talk some of her guests to doing us this favor. Kristen you're in charge of catering, your parents would do you this favor right? Kathy you're on advertising, make awesome posters, and tickets. Everyone else you guys are helping." The bell rang almost immediately after Massie finished her sentence. The room emptied, but Massie being president stayed behind to fix the desks.
"Need some help?" A voice asked sheepishly.
"No thank you. Don't you have a traitor to help?"
"Mass, come on!"
"No Cam, why would you intentionally hurt me like that?"
"If I knew it would hurt you I never would have done it! I've never done anything to intentionally hurt you, why would I start now?"
"If you don't want to hurt me then stop seeing her." Cam laughed.
"Jesus Mass, you sound like you're my girlfriend and I cheated on you."
"If I was your girlfriend, you best believe you never would have been with that slut in the first place."
"If you were my girlfriend I could've stayed at your house while Harris had sex."
"EWWW! Cam! I did NOT need to know that!" Massie exclaimed.
"If you were my girlfriend you already would've known.
"True." Massie said coyly moving towards him.
"If you were my girlfriend, I'd do this all the time." Cam leaned down to kiss her when Claire barged in.
"I can't find my…" she trailed off when she saw what almost would have gone down had she not interrupted. "Uhmm, forget it. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find it on my own. Just uhmm keep doing whatever you were gonna do." Claire quickly turned around and left as awkwardly as she had entered, leaving behind a confused Massie and excited Cam.
Alicia POV
Octavian County Day
Hallways
Monday May 9th
8:10 am
Alicia walked out of the Student Council meeting extremely happy. Junior Prom was going to be amazing! She couldn't wait to go chopping with the girls, wondering if Claire would join them or if she would already have her own group of friends. To be honest, Alicia didn't really mind Claire. She was extremely pretty, but shy; observant but spacey. She was a giant box of contradictions and that amused her. It's the reason she likes Massie, who could be sweet, but was not afraid of being a major bitch. Alicia was usually the bubbly girl, always excited and happy, but she much rather preferred dancing to human contact. The only time she actually enjoyed being social was when she was drunk, other then that she was content to be with her small group of friends.
"Hola princesa." A smooth, deep voice whispers in her ear.
"Hey Josh, what's up?"
"Nothing, I have soccer practice later, will you wait for me?" Sensing the hesitation on her face he added, "I'll drive you to the dance studio."
"Okay, but don't take too long! My first class is at 5!"
"I'll meet you at the usual place."
By then they were at her class, he opened the door for her, kissed her cheek and walked to his class. Alicia wondered if he was going to ask her out today. She hasn't had a boyfriend since Kemp last year, before that it was Chris Abeley, but he cheated on her with Skye Hamilton, so he just sucks. Kemp was a great boyfriend but she couldn't be with him when she had feelings for Josh, so they split up amicably and remain close friends. As she turned the corner she saw a blonde girl and spiky headed boy making out. "Kris?" she gasped. Alicia almost fainted when she saw that the boy connected to her friend's lips was Griffin Hastings, one of the man whores Skye and her army of skanks hung out with. Alicia was too shocked to stay so she ran away, but not before passing Olivia Ryan who was making out with Derrick, who was supposed to be pining away for her best friend.
"YOU BITCH!" Alicia yelled before she slapped her.
Ta-Da! So I didn't have class today so I decided to type out a chapter for you guys! Finals are over! Which means I have to study for regents, so my updating might continue to be sketchy…sorry =[ I hope you guys like this chapter, its my first Alicia POV and actual Cassie moment xD I hope you guys are staying cool!
