Chapter 9: Rules and Stories; Alex Ried's creation

"He's gotten favors before?!" Di asked, shocked.

She had just called Jennie to ask how last night went.

"YES!" Jennie hissed. "I wanted to have him begging for more...but of course it didn't feel as good as his first time even though I know ALOT more than that slut of a fan who did it to get him to not have security drag her skank ass away...."

"Damn girl...temper temper...it's almost like you have FEELINGS for your boyfriend. You know our rule...NEVER fall in love. Guys are the ones who are supposed to be fawning over US. You DO remember that we are the elite, the royalty of our school; and the boys that you, Mimi and I hang out with are wanted only because they hang out with us. Because of us they are who they are, it doesn't hurt that most of them have money, but think about it...They only know how to dress because you and Mimi took them shopping, and they're only in the clique because I took them IN. Don't grow weak over Matt Ishida, because we BOTH know who he really is. If he had no talent and no looks, we wouldn't have even looked his way, because he was POOR. If not for us, he'd still be living in that crummy little apartment with his deadbeat daddy. Now he at LEAST has nice clothes and a small mansion. He's lucky he even got discovered...Anywayz...back to the plan. I know where to take it from here. He won't know what hit him once I'm done with him." Di explained.

"Yeah, sorry Di...I guess I just lost focus...He really isn't all that great..." Jennie trailed, then changed the subject. "Oh, by the way...tryouts for the freshman who want to be in our clique are coming up...any potentials?"

"Actually, I think I found the perfect boy...You know Davis? Well, maybe we can get him in...he seems like he might have potential. So anyway, like I was saying...I WILL get Matt to do the deed...I'm more experienced than you are and NO guy says no to Dianna Kinomoto...That's a promise." Di replied.

"Oh,Well, I'm pretty sure that you'll get him to...but how are you gonna get him to cheat on his girlfriend. I'm not sappily in love with him, but he IS in love with me...Get him drunk before you try anything, he'll melt like butter then..." Jennie explained.

"I will, and hopefully he'll do something...I think I know what I'll do. I'll invite him over to help me with something retarded that makes no sense, then I'll start crying over something stupid. He'll give me a friendly hug...and I'll kiss him. Or maybe I can make margaritas or jello shots...but those would require more people...Jenn, better yet..I think a yacht party is in order...Do you think your dad will mind if we use yours? My dad is taking ours out this weekend. Will your brother be able to make it? All of our friends miss him so much. How is he anyway?" Di rambled. "I mean, the boy was a genius, I must say, but he really should have put more of his wonderful ideas into play when he ran the clique." She was talking about the little journal filled with ideas and rules that he hadn't told anyone else about. He pawned it off to Di when she became the new leader.

Alex was Jennie's 19 year old brother. He used to be the leader of the clique until he graduated. He had dark brown spiky hair and the same sapphire blue eyes that all of the Reids had. Dianna was his little love slave when she and Jennie were just freshmen. That is how Di became the leader of the clique when he graduated and she lost her virginity to him to prove that she would do ANYTHING to get what she wanted. Jennie naturally had to come in second because she was Alex's "hot little sister" and his friends all wanted a shot at her. Her being Dianna's best friend, the richest in the group besides her brother, and a cheerleader also helped. Mimi was in because she was rich, pretty, a cheerleader and wore adorable clothes. And the six other girls who were members of the clique were in because they had some money, dressed well, and passed all initiation tests with flying colors. (Though they were nothing compared to their three superiors in looks.) They were the types who agreed with Jennie, Di and Mimi on EVERYTHING they said or did, followed them everywhere and obeyed their every whim. The guys in the group were chosen STRICTLY on looks, money, abilities/talents, and clothes. Not to mention hook up potential, in which every guy had to prove that he was willing to hook up with any girl in the clique but only strictly the girls in the clique. Any boy who touched a girl outside the clique was thrown out. All of these rules of course, were created by Alex and the original co- leaders. They were essential to the smooth running of the clique and keeping the power in the hands of Dianna, Jennie and Mimi. If anything went wrong, they had very little to fall back on, which is why they acted the way they did. They couldn't let ANYONE in unless they were tested for loyalty and submissiveness. If they did not obey orders or could not be trusted, then the whole group was in jeapordy.

A good example took place their freshman year; Sora Takenouchi was a good friend of both Jennie and Dianna. She was voted one of the leaders when Alex graduated along with several female leaders. Sora was the kind of person who didn't like it when things went too far, and stopped at nothing to prevent Dianna's scheming. Of course, Sora didn't know that Di wasn't the type of person to tolerate such things. One day, Di caught Sora giving her phone number to Spencer, the guy that Di had chosen to be her next boyfriend (which was done on a monthly basis in which she can choose any guy she wants from the clique. Jennie and Mimi are allowed to do the same but AFTER Di chooses hers.) That was the last straw. She hatched up something horrible that would destroy Sora's life and ultimately turn the tables of something even bigger. (but that won't be mentioned until later) Di started telling everyone outside the clique nasty things about Sora, then she had her father sue Sora's family for something stupid, (Like her tripping in the hallway or something because Sora had her backpack in the way) Then she took away Sora's cute clothes, shoes and everything else that reminded her of her life of popularity and replaced it all with nerdy things. She banished Sora from coming in contact with a single person who was above the status of loser or nerd and if she did, she wouldn't live to see the outcome. Because Sora knew that Di was the type of girl who would stop at nothing to make sure that her will was carried out, she did as she was told and dissapeared from everyone's lives to continue her own life miserable and alone. Di told everyone that Sora had moved to America suddenly and didn't leave a phone number or anything, Then went on as if nothing had changed. Jennie found out about what happened when a hysterical Di called and spilled everything, giggling at Sora's downfall.

Jennie didn't agree with what Di had done, but her only chance to get back the leadership and fix what Di had ruined was to agree with her. Jennie was a good person somewhere in there, but only when it came to other people getting emotionally hurt. She cared about people to a certain degree, but her wants always seemed to come first. She also never had feelings for guys until Matt came along, now she found herself falling in love with him, but she had to hide it, which is why she came up with the game and did that stuff with Tai. Then her bad side appeared again and she found herself becoming this slutty little brat who wanted nothing but play from the one boyfriend she had who truly cared about her. Fixing what Di had ruined would be everything that Di had thought up. They were the most wanted of the girls in school, but they couldn't date outside the clique. Everyone wanted to have their clothes, but not everyone could afford their clothes, even some of the girls in the clique. You had to be a cheerleader if you were a girl and athletic or talented if you were a boy. You had to be rich to be in yet decent looking at the same time, but there were some guys who were hot and weren't rich. Initiation was too hard, and it was emotionally bad for you because you had to prove how bad you were. And last but not least, She wanted Sora back in the inner circle. But all of these things wouldn't happen unless Jennie could find some way to overrule Di. The question was...how?

There was no way in the universe that Dianna Kinomoto would admit that what she did to Sora was wrong and that she should let Sora back into the clique. No way. That part was up to Jennie. Somehow she would have to find Sora and figure out how to get Di to let her back in, it would be as simple as saying she moved back. But her reputation and Bank account were the problem. Sora had to move out of her nice house and into an apartment because Dianna's father had siezed so much of her family's assets. And the kids at school had no idea what had become of her, but her horrible rep was still floating around. But perhaps that was fixable, maybe once Sora was back, they could knock Di out of position and bump Jennie into leadership. Once Jennie was in charge, she'd change everything back to normal. Maybe she could get Alex to convince Di to let Sora in, then Sora, Jennie and Tai could knock Di out of leadership and maybe even the clique by telling everyone what she did to the girls who got in her way.

Maybe the downfall of Dianna Kinomoto would come before the downfall of Jun. All it took was the exposure of what she did to Sora and a few other people who were once as well known as she is.
