I'm totally writing this randomly. This idea just popped up in my mind a few seconds ago. Note: This is AU. Re-writing the Clique books. ;D
Claire's POV
"Did you hear?" said Mandy.
"What?" I asked her confused.
"Massie Block is coming to our school."
"Oh my god! You mean Massie who always hung out with Hayden and I?" I said shocked.
"Yep, Massie Block." Mandy said with her gossip smile.
I couldn't believe it. Massie used to be one of my friends. Maybe not friends, but she was a friend of a friend. Hayden Johnson was one of my closest friends. Two summers ago her and I hung out all the time. Her friend Massie Block used to always hang out with us. Hayden was a girl you had to be friends with. I wished I wasn't friends with her, but that would lead to her bad side. It was completely boring to talk to her. She talked about her shoes all the time! And about Massie Block. It was so annoying.
"Kuh-laire darling! Did I tell you Massie is coming to our school?" Hayden's sing-song voice said as she strutted on the bus.
Hayden was wearing a Juicy tracksuit. It didn't impress me anymore. She wore it all the time, so it was not a big deal. However, I noticed she had new Pumas. Great! Another conversation about how she couldn't decided between black or silver.
"Hey, Mandy just told me that." I explained to Hayden.
I instantly regretted what I said. Hayden hated utterly hated Mandy. Why? Mandy didn't have good style and liked to read. Truthfully, I think Hayden is jealous of Mandy. Hayden isn't that smart and isn't a very good dancer like Mandy. Dance is the big thing at Orlando Middle School.
"Oh. How do you know Mandy?" Hayden said emphasizing the man part in Mandy.
"Sari told me." Mandy said.
"Sari told you." Hayden said shocked.
When would Hayden learn that people liked Mandy? Hayden and Mandy had the same friends. Yet, Hayden thought Mandy was a major loser. Every time she heard someone liked Mandy she would act surprised
"Yes, Sari and -" Mandy was cut off.
"Anyways,"Hayden said the first part loudly, "I'm so excited Massie is going to come aren't you? She's coming today! Sari didn't know that."
"That's great! I always like having new friends." I said smiling.
Massie and I never got to really know each other. Maybe this way we can become closer. The last time I saw her she was so nice. Practically the opposite of Hayden. Massie was down to earth and laid back. Not caring about popularity at all. We shared gummy feet together, while Hayden ate weird soy chips. It would be a good year having Massie as a friend. More sours and gummies to share!

Hayden, Mandy, and I walked into the lunchroom everyone waited in until school begun. Eagerly, Mandy and I followed Hayden. I couldn't wait to see Massie again. I wondered if she would recognize me. It's been so long!
"Ugh! Where is she?" Hayden sighed.
"New students go to the office first." answered Mandy.
"Whatevs. I so knew that!" Hayden spatted back.
Mandy rolled her eyes and kept following Hayden. The office came into view as we turned the corner. I saw someone with glossy brown hair sitting in a chair. Maybe it was Massie's mom? No one is Orlando had that nice of hair! I heard Hayden squeal with excitement as we got closer to the office. Hayden through open the door to the office and barged in.
"MASSIE BLOCK! IS THAT YOU!" Hayden shrieked.
I looked around trying to find Massie. All I saw was the glossy haired ----- wait --- that was Massie Block. What happened to the down to earth girl?
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Massie shrieked in a high-pitched voice.
Hayden and Massie hugged like long lost friends. They kept making a loud screaming noise. Mandy and I just stood there like useless rags. I felt like a total loser. How could I expect Massie not to change? Here I was a normal person. While Massie looked totally glamorous.
"Ehmagawd! I can't believe I'm going to your school now Hayden." Massie said excited.
"I know! This is going to be the best-"
"Excuse me Hayden, but are you going to introduce us?" Mandy said interrupting Hayden.
"These are your friends?" Massie said eying Mandy and I.
"Umm...Massie, I'm so glad your here." Hayden said ignoring Massie and Mandy.
"Come on Claire, let's leave." Mandy said puling me along.
I couldn't believe it as I walked out the office door. The person I thought was down to earth was a diva. Massie was in head to toe designer. Carrying a Juicy Couture bag that contained nothing! Suddenly, this school year looked very bad.
Sorry it's so short! It's just kind of a preview. The story is based on my real life expreinces as suggested by Irindiglo. Thanks so much for the idea!
