A/n I don't own any of the Clique.

I want to thank everyone who reviewed for the last chapter. I decided to give you another update and hopefully it wasn't that long of a wait. Also I want you all to know that after I'm finished with the Clique, Twilight (deleted sequel), and HSM (deleted sequel) that I will be taking a break from Fanfiction to work on my own stories. But that is a long time away from now.


Claire: Meet me in the courtyard in 5

"Did you send the text?" Massie asked Claire as they sat on a bench in the courtyard.

"Yes Massie now chill" Claire said as she waited for a reply.

"You know the plan, right?" Massie asked.

"Yes, now here they come so go before any of them see you" Claire said, but Massie had already left and found a hiding spot behind a tree.

They all filed into the courtyard and Claire stood up to greet her enemies. The plan has just started and so has war.

"Were you talking to yourself, Claire?" Alicia asked with a chuckle.

"Listen if I were you, I would be nice to me right now because you have a chance to resign as queen or prepare for one bloody war same goes for all of you with choosing sides" Claire said sweetly.

"Over my dead body would I ever resign as queen" Alicia said firmly.

"Consider yourself now in war may the best win" Claire said wickedly.

Alicia turned to walk out of the courtyard when she noticed that Kristen and Dylan weren't behind her.

"Sorry Claire but our hands are tied" Kristen said apologetically as turned to leave with Alicia.

"We are really sorry Claire we wish we could help you. But like Kristen said we're not in position to" Dylan said honestly as she followed behind Kristen.

"It's okay I don't need your help anyway" Claire said confident as the girls left her in the courtyard.

Claire turned around, "You can come out now" she said, "They're gone".

Massie walked out from behind the tree with a devil smirk playing on her lips; she is ready to bite hard into to poison.

"Why are you smiling? Dylan and Kristen shot us down" Claire asked confused by Massie's smile.

"Because I just wanted to see Alicia the whole entire time" Massie said, "God she looks like a whore".

"You're telling me" Claire sighed.

The two sat on the bench and waited for lunch to come and when it did they left the courtyard and entered the cafeteria.

"Hey Leesh" Dylan and Kristen said in unison as they sat down with their lunches at table 18.

"Hey girls" Alicia said happily as she looked up from her salad.

The boys started to head over to the table but two of them are about ready to hit a girl in the face because they are sick of her gossip.

"I never wanted to punch a girl in the face as much as I want to punch Mary" Cam hissed as he sat down next to Plovert.

"You and I both dude" Derrick agreed as he sat down next to Josh.

An awkward silence took over table 18 because the girls know exactly who Mary is getting all her information from but they would never tell the guys the truth.

"Excuse me, but I want to introduce my secret weapon before we start war for real" Claire said as she approached table 18.

"Go for it" Alicia said flatly.

The doors to the cafeteria open wide open and a brunette dressed in True Religion dark wash skinny jeans, purple Ella Moss top, and black Marc Jacobs's flats walked through the busy student body over to table 18.

"Missed me, bitch?" Massie asked as she towered over Alicia.

"Not again I thought you promised you were done haunting us" Kemp said.

"She's not a ghost" Derrick said angrily, but he can't figure out why he is mad at Massie when he wanted her so desperately to come home.

"A dude in case you forgot, she haunted us for the majority of last year" Plovert said slowly.

"She did not" Derrick pressed, "Tell them Massie".

Derrick stared at Massie to tell the truth; "Fine Derrick is right, I'm not a ghost" Massie said.

"But how can this be? We all watched the newscast" Kristen said logically.

"Easy I faked the newscast and told your parents to play it because I wanted to show you all a lesson" Massie sighed.

"What lesson would that be?" Dylan asked, "A lesson where someone can get away with pretending to be 'dead' and put her friends through agony?" Dylan is upset and hurt that Massie would have pulled a stunt like that.

"I wanted to show you that I did have feelings and that I shouldn't have been mistreated" Massie told the truth.

"Wait what about your parents?" Cam asked.

"They're in Paris. My dad got a new job out there and I asked if I could stay and live with Claire so I could teach you all a lesson" Massie said.

"Why are you here? You promised that you would never come back" Derrick steamed with frustration and hurt.

"I'm here to restore my legacy and remove the new queen from the royal line" Massie said staring into Alicia's eyes with hate.

"But you promised me the night you left that you would never come back" Derrick argued.

"I guess I just don't give a damn about promises anymore" Massie stated.

"I'm not backing down from my throne" Alicia said firmly.

"Well I guess this is war" Massie said, "Just remember that you once trusted me with all your secrets".

"You wouldn't dare" Alicia said doubtful Massie would ever do such a thing.

"You did it to me. I thought you knew what karma was" Massie said with a chuckle.

"Well then I guess this war has officially begun" Alicia concluded, but Massie is not about to let her have the last word.

"Don't forget who you're fighting against" and with that said Massie turned her back on table 18 and walked out with Claire.

"Who does she think she is?" Alicia asked as she looked around the cafeteria still buzzing about Massie's graceful return.

"Massie Block" Kemp stated.

"Don't remind me" Alicia sighed as she pushed away her lunch.

"Sorry but it is her name" Kemp pointed out.

"Whatever let's go" Alicia declared.

Everyone stood up from table 18 and threw away their untouched or nibbled on lunches because none of them expected Massie to arrive.

"Derrick, how did you know that she wasn't a ghost?" Josh asked being careful to not mention Massie's name in front of Alicia.

Derrick stayed quiet for awhile before opening his mouth to say, "I figured out that she wasn't a ghost before she left and when I stayed at her house when you all left. I was talking to her".

"How did you figure it out?" Kristen asked because she was there with Derrick but she must have missed something.

"You know when I said it was empty?" Derrick asked and Kristen shook her head yes.

"Well I lied, she was in there at the time" Derrick said.

"Why did you cover for her?" Dylan asked intrigued.

Dylan thought she loved Derrick but she soon realized that she didn't love him as a boyfriend but as a brother and she has Massie to thank for opening her eyes and seeing the truth she was hiding herself from.

"Because I loved her and I owed her that much for being a jerk to her so I covered for her" Derrick sighed heavily as he thought about Massie.

Before he saw her today he was certain that he loved her with all his heart, but now this hate has filled through his veins and entered his heart where Massie is.

"How did Claire know then?" Josh asked unaware of his own girlfriend's secrets.

"She helped Massie with the whole haunting" Derrick said gently.

Josh's face flushed, he couldn't believe that his girlfriend wouldn't tell him about something this big but she could talk to his best friend about it all the time.

"I know that you're upset, but Claire wanted to tell you" Derrick broke the silence, "She really did want to tell you, but it wasn't her secret to share".

Another silence fell and this time it would stay for a good five minutes before Alicia saw something calling her name.

"What is this?" Alicia asked picking up the DVD set down next to her locker.

"Whatever it is, it is directed to you" Kristen noted as she looked at Alicia's name in bold letters on the front of the DVD.

"Well this is my excuse to get out of school" Alicia said as she dialed her driver up.

"Perfect I really didn't want to stay here any longer" Dylan added.

"I'll see you guys later I'm going to see my girlfriend" Josh said as he walked out of the front doors.

"Couple party at Alicia's house" Kristen said as she texted Dempsey an invite.

"I'll see you guys later" Derrick said as he pushed the doors open and walked out.

"Wait to go Kristen!" everyone screamed at Kristen.

"What? Oh" Kristen said realizing that Derrick is single.

"Oh well he'll probably choose Massie anyway" Alicia said unemotional as she hung up her phone and led everyone outside.

Little did she know that she just lost the key factor to winning this war because if she would have used her brain and not her body. Then she would have realized that she could ruin Massie through Derrick because Massie loves Derrick and would do anything for him.

One mistake ruins many lives.
