KRISTEN
During free period, Kristen gave Dani a tour around the whole school. "What do you think of Westchester so far?" Kristen said trying to make small talk. "I totes heart it!" Dani exclaimed. Kristen tried not to cringe at Dani's outdated lingo. "Sweetheart, don't ever use totes or heart. That is outdated. You're lucky to have me tell you these things." Kristen boasted to Dani. Dani just nodded and mentally took notes. At that moment Daniel approached them.
"How's it going Dani?" He asked his sister. "It's going great. Especially since Kristen is helping me out." Dani beamed. "Is that so? Thanks for helping out my lil sis Kris." Daniel said. Kristen blushed, "It was nothing Daniel." Dani noticed her interaction. "Well I'll see you ladies around." Daniel said and went to the soccer field. Dani took advantage of the situation, "Hey Kristen, I can help you get together with my brother." Kristen raised her eyebrow in disbelief. Dani continued, "I'll help you if you help me get on Alicia's good side." Kristen expression went from disbelief to indifferent. She then smirked, "I appreciate the offer Dani, but I don't need your help in getting a guy and if you want to get on Alicia's good side then you have to get on the rest of the PC's good side in order for her to accept you." Dani was speechless and couldn't get a word out. "Well that ends our tour for today. It was really fun. I'll see you around school Dani, toodles." With that said, Kristen left Dani alone, pulled out her phone and sent an alert to her besties.
Kristen: Wannabe alert… Dani Campbell
Alicia: I had a suspicion… thanks for confirmation
Claire: Doesn't surprise me
Massie: What happens when we have a wannabe alert?
Kristen: It means we have a potential new pc member
Claire: AKA we test them to see if they are pc worthy material
Alicia: If they pass the trial, they're in
Massie: What's the test then?
Alicia, Claire, Kristen: They live as an LBR for a month.
MASSIE
"There you are Leesh, I've been waiting forev." Massie exclaimed at her bestie. "Sorry Mass, Josh caught me and Derek coming back from one of our talks." Alicia explained. "Leesh, we're not supposed to talk about anything here. You promised to forget it all." Massie sighed. "I want to tell him the truth. I want him to know at least." Alicia said. Massie just nodded accepting her friend's wish. "Let's go." She replied.
"There are my 2 favorite girls!" Chris said while putting his arms around Massie and Alicia. "Don't tell me the god of heartbreak has class with us." Alicia said jokingly while rolling her eyes. "You're welcome, I know it's such an honor for plebeians." Chris replied. "Watch your tone, you're dealing with royalty here." Massie joined in. Chris faked being hurt while putting his hand on his heart. "Who knew royals were so ruthless." Chris said. All three of them burst out laughing. They headed to their ethics class and sat next to each other. "You girls won't believe who I have second period with." Chris said. Massie and Alicia gave him expectant glances. Chris, always the dramatic, takes forever to say. "Just say it now Chris before I lose interest." Alicia snapped. "I have Dylan and Claire in my drama class. My luck huh." Chris said. "Poor baby, has to deal with an angry ex and your current crush." Alicia sympathized with him. Massie was surprised, "Wait, you like Claire?" Chris laughs at her directness, "Yeah I do, Claire is pretty clueless." Alicia replies, "He makes it so obvious, but Claire really doesn't know. I won't tell her, because she needs to learn how to tell when I guy is into her." Alicia said while rolling her eyes. "Why don't you tell her you like her Chris? It's that easy." Massie suggested. Chris was dumbfounded. "Massie, you're a genius." Chris said. Massie just laughed and the bell rang.
CLAIRE
3RD period just ended and now Claire had a free period. As she was walking down the hallway she caught sight of Chris. For some reason Claire felt a tingle in the pit of her stomach, she always ignored it, but it was stronger this time. "Hey Claire, can I talk to you for a minute?" Chris asked. Claire nodded, not knowing for sure what was going on. "What's up?" Claire asked him, as soon as they were alone in an empty classroom. Chris takes a deep breath, "Woo, okay. Claire Lyons… I like you. I've liked you since before I left to model, and I like you now. There I said it." Chris said. Claire was dumbfounded, she didn't know what to do. She had a million thoughts go through her head. Am I ready to move on? It's almost been a year, that should be enough time, right? What about Dylan? I don't want to face her wrath. Suddenly the tingle in her stomach exploded into a jillion butterflies. Claire didn't want to think of the future, but the now and before realizing what she was doing, Claire gave Chris a peck on the lips. Chris smiled and kissed her back with more force, yet more gentle at the same time. For once, Claire felt love that she never received from Cam, and she could feel her a strange feeling: happiness.
CAM
Cam saw Chris take Claire to an empty classroom and couldn't help himself but follow them. He heard Chris confess and secretly hoped that Claire would reject him, but he saw the exact opposite. A part of Cam wanted to believe that Claire never cheated on him, but the evidence was incriminating and several rumors spread. Cam felt like the idiot boyfriend who had no idea his girl was seeing other guys. If it weren't for Layne and Dylan telling him of Claire's infidelity, he would blindly be with her. Still a part of him wanted to remember Claire as the once innocent girl she once was. Cam walked away from the new couple and headed to the gym when he bumped into Dani. "Hey, sorry I didn't see you there." Cam said not really wanting to talk to Dani. "You look like you've witnessed something you didn't want to witness." Dani guessed right. "Something like that." Cam said. "What do you say we leave school and have fun?" Dani said. Cam was amused, he hadn't skipped school at all this semester which was rare of him. "You know what, let's go." Cam said while taking Dani's hand and heading out with her.
DYLAN
Dylan was not happy to be back at school. Everyone was in awe of her, but she didn't have friends to gloat with. She went through her checklist of potential girls to become friends with her but no one met up to par. She thought of Olivia, but the girl was one big scandal maker, and it didn't help that she had a reputation. However, she reconsidered when a girl in the bathroom said that she saw Claire yell at Josh for almost hooking up with the blonde. Dylan thought she might use Olivia to shake things up with Alicia, but she needed another girl. Someone who could complete the trio. She looked outside and saw a pretty blonde walk out with Cam. "Hey Mindy, who's the new girl?" Dylan asked. "Her name's Dani Campbell." Dylan smirked, an idea came to her. She'll recruit Dani and make sure she leaves Cam alone after all, she could smell wannabe all the way from the 3rd floor.
GLU HEADQUARTERS
"Alright girlies, since everyone is here, let's spill about today." Alicia started off. "Josh and I are still stable, no scandalous details on my part." Next up was Kristen, "The new girl Dani wanted me to help her get into the PC and in return she would set me up with her brother. I shut her up." Kristen said while the girls gave a round of applause. "Claire, Claire, Claire!" The group chanted. "Well, it was going to get out anyways, but Chris and I are official!" The girls cheered and were genuinely excited for their friend. Massie was last, "I think I like Derek." The girls awed and were on board with Massie's infatuation. Alicia's computer suddenly beeped. The girls crowded around to read the latest OCDiva post.

Whoops, was that supposed to be a secret, my bad. Also, today Claire and Chris make it official, congratulations to the happy couple.
Love you lots my readers,

ALICIA
"Claire, what happened?" Alicia turned towards her. Claire sighed, "He was drunk, they never got past first base." "Alicia, let it go this once." Massie said giving Alicia a meaningful look. Alicia didn't have a right to reclaim him, especially since she won't spill her secrets to him. "Alright, Claire if he asks, just tell him that you denied it and it was all made up by the blogger." Alicia told Claire. Claire, although confused, nodded.
After everyone fell asleep, Alicia went to her back porch. Massie came and sat next to her. "Does it really count Mass? We were broken up at that time, so I technically never cheated." Alicia said. Massie sighed, "Alicia, you didn't just cheat on him and we both know the reason." Massie said in a soothing tone, trying not to alter Alicia. "I don't regret it though, I think that's the worst part." Alicia whispered. Massie had a flashback.
"Hey Mass. Are you dating James?" Alexander asked one random afternoon. Massie slightly taken aback by the sudden question laughed, "No. Love him like a brother." Massie said confidently. "What about me?" Alexander asked seriously. "What about you?" Massie asked coyly. "Will you give me a chance Mass?" Alexander asked. Massie smiled, "I thought you'd never ask!" Massie grinned. Alexander laughed, "How long have you waited?" Massie replied, "Since we met at cooking class."
*3 weeks later
"Massie, I love you, but…" Alexander started, "You love Dana more." Massie finished for him. The whole crew was there waiting news from Dana. She attempted suicide. "I'm so sorry Massie. I never realized it until I was this close to losing her." Alexander looked up apologetic. "I'm going to Spain for the summer. When I come back, I really hope we can go back to being good friends." Massie said. "I promise that I'll make it happen." James came up and held Massie as she tried not to cry. James was always good at reading her emotions. The doctor came out and everyone crowded him, "How is she?" Alexander asked. "She's stable for now, no visitors until tomorrow." The doctor said and left. Alexander's look of relief was all the proof Massie needed to know that he loved her.
"Falling in love is not a sin, Leesh." Massie said after a minute. Alicia looked up at her bestie wondering what she could've been thinking about. "I can't lose Josh, Mass. I've already lost so much. First Damien, then David, I can't lose Josh, I just can't." Alicia said as she started crying. Massie immediately hugged her friend, "You won't lose him. But if he finds out, I don't know how he'll react, Leesh." Massie comforted her friend while still being realistic. "Mass, promise me once again. Josh will never find out that I was pregnant." Alicia said a bit hysteric. "I, Massie Block, promise to never say anything about what happened in Spain." Massie promised. Alicia calmed down and hugged her best friend, "Thank you."
Claire quickly ran back to her bed, still in utter shock of what she just heard. She wanted to join the girls in for their chat when she heard Alicia say she couldn't lose Josh. Claire shut her eyes and pretended to sleep as both girls came back inside.
