Front Lawn

Massie and the rest of the pretty committee were standing around the tree where they usually met at. Now that they were back into the main building, they felt excited to start 8th grade. Seeing as the soccer guys were stuck in the tiffany boxes until the semester ended, the PC were left to rule the school. Massie couldn't be any happier for her friends. Claire and Cam were together again and Massie loved to take credit for that relationship. Alicia and Josh were off talking about the current situation they were in. Now that Josh was away from her he was scared of losing her. The only people with no boyfriends were herself, Dylan, and Kristen. She was considering going out with Dempsey, but during the weekend at the mall he had seen him with an LBR and now she was NAWT interested. She was brought out her her thoughts by hearing her ringtone

"And we both knew, you're wrong

There's nothing you can do, to ever undo what you've done to me

I loved you, deep in my heart I know you couldn't love me

But baby I just kept holding on, I should've let you go

Should've let you go"

Her Keyshia Cole ringtone was telling her that she got a 0text message.

Derrington: How does it feel to be alone?

Massie: ?

They heard the bell ring, telling them to get to class. Slowly but surely the Pretty Committee headed into their school. Massie headed into school, really, really confused by what Derrington said in his text message. She decide to deal with that problem later.

Claire's English class

August 9

Claire was bored out of her mind in English. None of the other PC girls had this class with her, so she had to suffer all by herself. At the beginning of the class, Mrs. Brown had introduced a new kid to the class. His name was Jason Smith. He had every girl's eyes glued to him and, seeing as the only empty seat was next to Claire, he had to sit next to her. At first, neither one of them said anything, but as soon as Mrs. Brown had let the class talk the last few minutes of class, he leaned over and said " Hey, I'm Jason Smith."

Claire looked over at him and said " Hi, I'm Claire. So how do you like BOCD so far?"

"It's pretty cool. Bigger then my other school, that's for sure." he replied.

"Where did you live before you came here? I was new here last year so I know what your going through right now. I used to live in Florida." she said.

" Oh, I used to live in California with my dad and my mom. My dad's company transferred him here so that's pretty much how I ended up here."

Claire removed her book off of her binder as he was talking and on the front of her binder were pictures of the Pretty Committee. As Jason stopped talking, she noticed him trying to look at the pictures she had on the binder. She sighed and said, " Those are my best friends." She pointed to a picure where everyone was lined up in a line and named their names off.

" That's Massie, Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen. Pretty much the people you'll see me hanging out with." she said.

Jason never said anything. Claire noticed that he couldn't take his eyes off the picture of Dylan and she smiled. She had to admit that Dylan did look good AND she didn't care about her weight anymore. Jason noticed the picture of her and Cam and asked,

"Who's this?"

Claire looked at the picture he was asking about before saying "Oh, that's my boyfriend, Cam Fisher."

Jason and Claire talked until the bell rang and he asked " So, I guess we'll be seeing each other around, huh?"

"I guess," Claire answered

" Hey, I know. Why don't I eat lunch with your friends today? Seeing as I don't know anyone at school..." Jason offered.

Claire, not sure how this was going to happen because it was Massie who usually told them if they were PC material to be hanging out with, said without trying to hurt his feelings "Um… look. I don't think that's a good idea. My friend Massie is really paranoid about who sits with us at lunch."

Jason just looked at her and told her that it was fine, he would just find someone else to sit with. As Jason watched Claire walk away, he thought to himself " I've got to find a way to sit at their table and meet that Dylan girl."

He walked away and began to think of ways to become part of Dylan's life and things to make Massie approve of him.
