Superstar
Chapter 21: Tell Me Something I Don't Know
Disclaimer: I wish I owned the Clique but I don't. I don't even own the songs.
Massie stood in front of the tent that was set up around her outside pool with her hands on her hips. She and Alicia had gotten Kristen's text about the five ex-PC members all going swimming to celebrate the girls return but she hadn't mentioned a party. Of course, Alicia and Massie had been close to positive that there would be a party so they'd dressed their best.
Massie was dressed in a purple and black stripped two piece with boy-short bottoms and pair of dark wash short Hollister shorts with purple rubber flip-flops and her hair was tightly braided into two French braids.
Alicia was wearing an orange and white Ralph Lauren tankini with an orange Ralph Lauren strapless sundress over it and wedged sandals. Her hair was in a low side ponytail.
"MASSIE," Kristen ran over to her in a red once piece, backless Life guard-styled bathing suit with her red and white Adidas slip-ons and her hair loose. "ALICIA," She hugged them.
"We missed you so much," Claire explained, tugging on her low ponytail. She was in a pink and white polka dot two piece and her smile was wide.
"But now its time to party-don't worry, we didn't invite that many people," Dylan flipped one of her red pigtails over her shoulder. Her eyes popped from her green and blue swirled bikini.
"As long as I don't have to sing," Alicia and Massie said at once.
"APPLE-"Massie and Alicia both stopped themselves short when they saw the reasons they'd left walking towards them sheepishly.
"Why are they here?" Massie crossed her arms.
"They were important to you once," Dylan muttered.
"If they hadn't hurt us, they still would be," Massie said as she turned around and stormed towards her house. Alicia followed quickly behind her.
"Um, they moved on," Alicia noticed as she saw Josh and Derrick stop, not when he reached the PC but when they reached two beautiful girls. They weren't as gorgeous as Alicia and Massie but they were close.
"The one with Josh is Maya Tigerra. She's Spanish," Kristen muttered as she spoke about the olive skinned beauty who was hugging Josh. The Spanish comment stung the Fannish-fake Spanish-Alicia. Maya had long glossy black hair in thick waves that she'd pulled into a long ponytail. Her eyes were dark and wide but they lacked the innocence of Alicia's. She was tall and was wearing a Ralph Lauren cheetah prink bikini with a chocolate brown Ralph Lauren mini skirt over the bottoms and black and tweed wedged sandals. She was a complete Alicia knock-off with only two or three differences. But Alicia didn't see it that way at all.
"That's Halley Black," Dylan nodded towards the girl who resembled Massie, pre-Hollywood. Her hair was a dark caramel color and was in long, just past her shoulders. Her eyes weren't as amazing and bright as Massie's though. Of course they weren't-nobody could have Massie's amber eyes. Instead she just had dull grey eyes.
"She's super rich and...uh, she's the alpha," Claire muttered.
Even with all these similarities between Halley and Massie, she didn't care. She didn't even notice them in any way.
Massie turned and walked towards her house with Alicia in tow. They entered the house and walked up to Massie's room, each taking a seat. Massie took her desk while Alicia took the computer desk. They shared a look and a nod.
Alicia jumped up and walked towards their bags and pulled out their song books. She handed Massie's her purple and silver one and kept her orange and gold one. Then the two girls hurriedly began to scribble out there newest song lyrics. They refused to let the boys ruin their party. But they weren't going to let the boys enjoy the party.
No way was Alicia and Massie, the alphas of Westchester no matter what happened, going to just roll over. After all, revenge is sweet.
Massie started to scribble in her bubbly writing and smiled at her perfect song as she reread it quickly.
Story of Us
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
And how we met and the sparks flew instantly
And people would say they're the lucky ones
I used to know my place was the spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
Cause lately I don't even know what page we're on
Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall outs
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up, I can't break through
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is this killing you like it's killing me?
And I don't know what to say
This is a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next Chapter
How did we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
And how I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me
Oh, I'm scared to see the ending
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I missed you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud
She scribbled in a quick 'repeat chorus' at this point and then went back to reading again.
This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less?
But I liked it better when you were by my side
The battle's in your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you said you'd rather love than fight
So many things that I wish you knew
But the story of us might be ending soon
She wrote 'repeat chorus' once more and then wrote in her ending.
Now, Now, Now
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is this killing you like it's killing me?
And I don't know what to say since this twist of fate
Cause we're going down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
The end
Alicia smirked at her song and reread it for a second time just to assure that it was perfect in everyway. She needed it to be the best she'd ever written because it was going to be her debut for her biggest part yet. Today she was acting like she was over Josh and this was the song to prove it.
Crush
I guess I should've known
It wasn't gonna end okay,
You're such a trouble maker
But I like you just that way.
A bomb tick ticking with neither one of us to blame
Just like a countdown ready to blow
I sat around a lot and thought
About the world without you
And no matter what you think,
Everything is not about you
You think I'm still hung up on you
Well, baby it's not true
Now look at me
Your memories turn into dust
There is only one explanation
I wasn't really in love
I wasn't really in love
It was just a crush
It was just a crush
Sparks fly when we touch
It was never enough
It was just a crush
It was just a crush
Yeah
You found one the things you need
There's nothing left to lose
The things I never wanna be
I owe it all to you
You just can't help yourself
It's what you do
'Cause this is real life
Not your show
Now look at me
The memories turn into dust
There is only one explanation
I wasn't really in love
I wasn't really in love
It was just a crush
It was just a crush
Sparks fly when we touch
It was never enough
It was just a crush
It was just a crush
Yeah
You'll be fine,
Just find another girl
To kick around
Won't be long
Until they all know what
I figured out
Now look at me
The memories turn into dust
There is only one explanation
I wasn't really in love
(I wasn't really in love)
It was just a crush
(It just was a crush)
Sparks fly when we touched
It was never enough
It was just a crush
It was just a crush (It was just a crush)
Yeah
(It was just a crush)
It was just a crush
Yeah.
