Hi.
I hope you are all staying safe and well.
I'm not the best, at opening up or at times articulating my self well when I'm nervous. All I've ever wanted was to write a clique story and finish it. Hopefully, that's exactly what I plan to do. Enjoy the story, and if you have any helpful suggestions to make me a stronger writer let me know.
Also this is a Disclaimer, this is an AU story. Massie didn't leave at the end of the semester, like in a Tale of Two Pretty's I believe is the book. Instead she convinced William to allow her to finish her 8th grade year. Now that the end of the year has come, and summer is here. The Block family will be leaving Westchester.
Xoxo, BC
Chapter I.:How to choose a successor.
Massie.
What's there to say, that you don't already know about me? Kind of a lot of pressure to come up with something clever, and I know what your thinking: Massie always knows just the right words to say, I'm always one step ahead, and that I always come out on top.
Which is true, I'm not going to lie. I won't sugarcode it either, I do come out on top. But, I kind of have to, as Alpha of—well former Alpha of the Pretty Committee, it was my job, to make sure we came out on top. While I know my approach might, not of always preferred. I still got the job done.
Look, I know it's stupid, but the social hierarchy in Westchester is quite unforgiving. Just ask, Skye's old clique, the DSL- Daters. After Skype left for "Alpha Academy" or AA. Leaving her beloved beta Becca Brie, to not only take over, her Alpha title of the DSL's, but as Captain of the BAD gals too.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but anyone with eyes could tell Becca Brie, was never the brightest beta in the barrel. Being funny and sweet, are great attributes, for a beta. However, as an Alpha funny and sweet, can fuck you over before anyone can utter, "last seasons Prada". I can't speak to why, Skye felt Becca Brie was her only choice to lead the DSL's into their freshman year of BOP.
Maybe she saw something Becca Brie? Maybe Skye felt safe leaving her title with Becca, just incase she ever came back? Or maybe Skye suffered an aneurism? Who knows. All I know is that, it didn't take a full semester, for the DSL's turned on one another.
You can understand why I'm nervous, especially under the circumstances. More than anything, I want to leave the Pretty Committee in capable hands. I have no doubt Alicia, will be an ah-mazing Alpha; I wish she showed the same confidence in herself as I have in her. Hopefully, as soon as possible. Preferably, before I step a YSL heel onto a private plane, on a one way trip to London.
Alicia.
After all these years, of scheming and plotting against Massie, all I had to do was wait a few months and she'd hand over her title. Just my luck, am I right?
It's weird, I should feel vindicated or at least ecstatic, Right? I should already have some changes in mind. I should, already have my first day as acting Alpha outfit planned, I should know who I want to take Massie's place, I should know if I even want to add another member, right? I can't help feel that I should feel this or that, or know this, or plan that.
I can't help, but feel inadequate to the title that's being forced onto me. Now I needed to have all these answers and know just what to do in every situation. I felt the pressure swallow me whole, as I numbly thought, I'm not Massie Block.
Why did she think I could do this?
Look at my track record, I could barely keep together my band of misfits. And she expects me to be able to not only keep the Pretty Committee together, but lead us through our freshman year successfully.
Does she even know how stressful that is? I mean if the DSL-Daters couldn't even survive a semester, without Skye. Then what makes Massie think, the PC will stand a chance without her? I just hope Massie knows what she's doing when she made me her successor. Because if not, let just say the PC will be spending the rest of our high school career in LBR jail. With no chance of parole.
