The Hills

Thank you to everyone who reads my story and reviews. Your reviews mean a lot and I love your suggestions. Sorry I can't write to often, but its summer now and I have SOOOO much going on! I am currently writing 4 books (including this one YAY!) and I need to take time to write all of them. This one I am going to try to update every two weeks. I know I have said this countless times before, but this time I even set reminders on my phone. If I don't update every two weeks, PLEASE don't be mad at me, I have a TON going on. As my best friend and AMAZING beta says, "at least I'm writing!" If you want to know about my other stories just ask I would be more then happy to tell you. (Just know that if you try to STEAL any of my stories or story IDEAS they are all COPYWRITED SO I WILL SUE YOU! That is a promise!) Once again thanks to all of my reviewers, you know who you are.

"Come awn Ku-laire! They said to be on at 6:30 for them. That's 3:30 here! That's NOW!" Massie barked at Claire. She was being soooo slow!

"Ok, ok I'm coming!" Claire said. She had been texting Cam. It was the first time she had talked to him in a while and she missed it. But she couldn't miss this. Apparently, it was important. "Alright, sign on." Claire said as she sat down in the chair next to Massie. Massie signed on and about 30 seconds later Alicia's face appeared on the screen.

"Hey guys. What's up?" Massie asked.

"Hi!" Alicia said. "Um… We have a bit of a problem…" Massie signed. Her friends needed her and she was back in business.

"What's wrong?" Massie said. She wasn't mad. In fact, she was almost happy. She missed her old life and her new one stunk.

"Well remember when we were expelled?" Alicia started "and other cliques started to form and tried to take over? Well its happening again. Only worse. Since you're gone, they think that they can take the power for themselves. It's not a big problem, but I need to know how to take back control and let them know who's in charge." Alicia said. She wasn't sure if Massie would be mortified, like Alicia herself was when she noticed, or if Massie would laugh in her face for being worried about something so stupid.

"Massie! Claire! Come on its time to go!" The girls heard in the background, obviously coming from Massie's side of the country.

"We gotta go." Massie said to her friends. "That was my dad. We're going out to dinner. Um… we'll talk again tomorrow. Same time, okay?"

"Ok. But isn't it only like 3:45 there?" Kristen asked.

"Yeah, but it's a party. It starts at 4:45 so we have to go now." Claire explained.

"Okay… Bye then." Dylan said.

"Bye." Massie and Claire said. The screen went dark.


Beverly Hills

Massie's Bedroom

4:15 p.m.

"Come on ladies! We have to leave in 15 minutes! We can't be late!" Jay yelled up the stairs.

"K dad!" Claire yelled back to him. She then turned to Massie. "Ok, what do you think?" she was referring to her outfit. She was wearing a cute, white dress that came to her mid thigh. Her hair was straightened to perfection and she looked great.

"You look ah-mazing! What about me?" Massie said, spinning so Claire could see her whole outfit. She looked fabulous in a totally cute, baby blue tube top, and black mini skirt. She had on large silver hoops and a diamond stud in her newly pierced cartilage.

"You look SOOOO good!" Claire said. She meant it too.

"Okay, let's go!" Massie said, applying her Glossip Girl lip gloss. Today was Piña Colada. It was delicious! Both girls raced down the stairs of the huge mansion and went into the incredible living room. The entire family was in there, waiting for the two girls.

"We're ready!" Claire said.

"Good, let's go. We don't want to be late!" Mr. Block said, getting up from the big couch. They walked out to the cars, and piled into the limo. Thankfully it was a stretch limo, so all six people fit very comfortably. Sadly there wasn't enough room for Massie and Claire to talk privately about the situation back in Westchester, So instead of talking, they texted.

Claire: Wut r u gunna do about the PC?

Massie: IDK! I'll figure it out lata though! Got 2 deal wit Brennah 1st!

Claire: Tru

Just then Claire's cell phone started ringing. She looked up at Massie, showing her the number. Massie shrugged. Neither of them recognized the number, so Claire picked it up.

"Um… Hello?" She said tentatively into the phone.

"Cl-eh! Hi!" A mans voice said into the phone. The man had a British accent.

"Um… I'm sorry, who is this?" Claire asked, confused. Massie looked at her quizzically, along with the rest of her family. Claire just shrugged.

"It's Rupert, from Dial L? Listen, I heahd you wehe in town?" Rupert said. Claire thought back to her movie days and instantly remembered Rupert Mann, her British director from her movie "Dial L for Loser." How did he know she was in town?

"So anyway, I am stah-ting a new movie and it still needs a stah! Wud you like to audition?" He asked.

"Ehmagawd! Are you serious!?" Claire screamed.

"Very serious. You wud be working with Connah Foley again." Rupert said.

"Ehmagawd! I would LOVE to audition! Thank you so much!" Claire said, still screaming.

"Excellent! I'll call you back with all the details. Bye." He said.

"Thank you so much! Bye!" Claire said, snapping her phone shut.

"What was that?" Massie asked.

"That was Rupert Mann, the Director from Dial L. He wants me to audition for his new movie!" Claire said excitedly.

"Oh my god, honey that's great!" Her mom said, hugging her.

"Yeah sweetie, so what's the movie called?" Jay asked.

"I don't know!" Claire said, still excited.

"O-Kay. When is the audition?" Jay tried again.

"I have no idea!" Claire said, practically jumping out of her seat. "He said he would call with the details."

"So do you know anything about the movie?" Massie asked.

"Just that I'll be working with Connor Foley again" Claire said.

"Oh. Lucky" Massie said, sounding a little jealous.

"Maybe you could audition too." Claire said, sounding hopeful. She wouldn't be able to stand it if Massie got jealous and started hating her again.

"Whatevs." Massie said, and the rest of the car ride was silent. She hasn't even been in town a month and already she's going to be a movie star! Again! Massie thought. The people in Westchester were forgetting her, the people in Beverly Hills didn't care about her, and now Ku-laire was going to be famous! Massie was going to lose it! She needed a plan! She was thinking of options when the car pulled up to the party, and a man opened her door.

"Welcome." He said as Massie got out of the limo.

"Whoa" Claire said, getting out and standing next to her.

"Ku-laire, don't act so impressed! We have to act like we see this stuff all the time!" Massie said.

"But we don't!" Claire said back.

"Well then its good that you're an actress isn't it!" Massie said and started to walk towards the beautiful building in front of them. Claire followed close behind. When they stepped inside Claire stopped short. The outside of the hotel was nice, but the lobby was amazing! It was a huge room that stretched up five stories high. The ceiling was domed and adorned with glass mosaic. The glass let a lot of light in and because it was so early, the lobby was flooded with sunlight, stained reds and blues and other spectacular colors from the glass. All the walls and floors were made of stunning white marble.

"Kuh-laire!" Massie said.

"This hotel is amazing!" Claire said, running to catch up with Massie and the rest of her family.

"Kuh-LAIRE!"

"Yes "The Hills" is one of the top hotels in California. The people who own it, the Crumbles, are the ones hosting the party. They are-" William block said to everyone.

"Whoa wait!" Massie cut her father off. It was her turn to stop short. "The Crumbles!? As in Brennah Crumble!?"

"Yes" Her father said as he continued to walk, not noticing how mortified his daughter was. "Her father owns the hotel. She should be here tonight." Massie thought she might faint! Her father, however, still didn't notice. The Lyonses and him went on ahead, following the signs, to the party room. Only Claire stayed behind, looking almost as mortified as Massie. Almost.

"This is so nawt happening!" Massie exclaimed.

"Um…" Claire started.

"No! Lets go!" Massie said and she started walking again. "This is enemy territory. We cant show weakness." And with that she walked into the party room, head held high, looking like a confident supermodel. Inside, however, she was falling apart.


OMG I AM SOOOOO SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG!! I know I said this last time, but I'm still not sure so once again, I need your help. What should the girls do about the other cliques that are trying to take over? I have some ideas but I don't think that they will work until later on. Oh and by the wayyyy, I have a website for those of you that don't know and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE!! If you guys could check it out! I spent a lot of time on it (sorry I've only updated to chapter six on it so far, I'm REALLY busy!) and there is a sneak peek of one of my new books on there, which I'm warning you, its only a dream sequence so it doesn't give taboo much away, even though it's a summery of pretty much a third of the book! Please read it and tell me what you think! You can leave a comment there or one here. Thanx so much and I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Ill try to write again soon, please don't hate me if I cant!

And remember,

A virtual tiffany bracelet will b rewarded to all of my reviewers so … REVIEW!! REVIEW!! REVIEW!! That's my motto!!
