Rivera Estate
Main Entrance
September, 27
4:00 p.m.
Alicia winced as she heard the loud thump of the closing doors.
"Sorry," she mumbled, even though no one was at home.
Her mother was arranging some papers, her dad was doing some lawyer business, and Nina was at the beauty salon, fixing her hair for Derrick's party the next day. His party was exactly the same reason why Alicia had gone shopping that day. She smiled as she remembered the beautiful, strapless red dress she had bought from Ralph Lauren.
Alicia ran up the stairs of her house, ready for a DIY hair re-do. She had read in one of her teen magazines some tips on how to create an ah-mazing hairstyle, and Alicia had found one that complimented perfectly her heart-shaped face.
As she lingered on the upstairs living room, she couldn't help but find herself wondering why Derrick hadn't invited Massie, Kristen and Dylan. She knew for a fact that Derrick was still close friends with Kristen, and that he loved having Dylan and Massie around, since they always made the party brighter.
Her thoughts were interrupted by whispers in Nina's bedroom. Frowning, she walked towards the door, and peaked in. Sitting on one of the chairs was Claire, painting her nails. Alicia was about to go in, and ask her why she was there, when Nina emerged from one side of the room.
"That color compliments your skin shade, perfectamente," Nina told Claire, smiling.
Claire giggled, "Gracias. Now, back to business. Do you think she suspects anything?"
"Nope. Haven't you seen that airhead bragging about it 24/7?" Nina replied, slumping on the chair next to Claire.
What are they talking about? Alicia asked herself. Wasn't Nina supposed to be in the beauty salon? Alicia shook her head, and focused on hearing what Claire was going to say next.
"I'm so glad Massie isn't attending the party, imagine if she did. She would def ruin it someway or another," Claire said.
Nina carefully applied eyeliner, "You know the reason why we told Derrick that Massie, Kristen, and Dylan were behind the rumors. If Landon sees her, he'll totally ruin everything."
"Yeah, but shouldn't you make Landon think that you are trying to help him get Massie jealous? After all, he does think that she was the one who dumped him," Claire added.
Nina rolled her eyes, "I already got a plan for that, Kuh-Laire."
"Don't call me that!" Claire snapped.
Nina gasped, "Claire, don't talk like that to your alpha."
"Who says you are the alpha?" Claire replied, "Why can't I be the alpha."
Nina smiled sweetly, and turned around, "Claire, I already know how to deal with the alpha pressure. Back in Spain, I am even more popular than Lady Gaga, and when I leave, you can be the alpha."
Claire seemed satisfied with the answer, and continued painting her nails, "You know, we should tell Alicia. After all, this is all because we are trying to help her. We are trying to stop Massie on what she wants to do to Alicia."
Nina sighed, "I know, but…Leesh is so sweet, she hates doing this to people. We'll tell her, when she is ready."
Alicia gasped silently, and closed the door quietly. She sprinted down the stairs, and hurried over to the door. Once out of her house, she kept running, until she reached a place that she didn't know. Panting, she sat down on a nearby bench, and started thinking about what she had just heard. Which were the bad guys? Massie or Alicia's friends?
After a while, Alicia's cellphone beeped. She took it out and read One New Text Message. Alicia frowned, and opened it. As she read it, all the color in her face drained.
Dear Octavian County Day High students,
Looks like a certain student *cough* Alicia Rivera *cough* has some little secrets to hide. Well, just one. But HUGE. All those rumors you've been hearing lately about you or your friends? Yeah, the fake rumors? She is guilty about them-ALL. Just thought that you should know,
Massie Block.
Alicia felt the tears stinging her brown eyes. Now she certainly knew who the bad guy was, and what Nina and Claire were talking about. Not one single moment in her life had she made-up a rumor about somebody. Yes, Alicia always came up with the latest gossip, but only the ones that were true.
She didn't know what was going on, and what was up with Massie, but she knew one thing. Massie wasn't her friend anymore. Neither were Kristen nor Dylan.
"Did she leave yet?" Claire asked annoyed.
Nina walked up to her door, and opened it. "No Alicia in here. Besides, I heard her running away."
Claire chuckled, "Poor Alicia is even more confused now. Did you send the text?"
"Which one?" Nina asked.
"Both, the one that's supposedly from Massie, and the one that clears Alicia as the culprit of the rumors," Claire answered.
Nina smiled, thinking of the "precious" rumors. That same day, rumors had been spread, by Nina and her new friends, of course, about almost everyone with an inch of importance in school. Even seniors. Even some teachers.
"I already sent the first, now it's time for the second one," Nina replied. She got out her cellphone and started to type:
Dear OCD High,
Apparently, someone is jealous of the attention Alicia is receiving. Here attached, I send some of the rumors circulating the school. If you see who the sender is, you'll perfectly figure out its Massie's number. Yup, she has been the one trying to ruin your lives. Don't ask me why, but I'll tell you, the girl who gave us these messages was part of Massie's friends.
Nina and Claire.
Nina pressed Send, smiling. After everyone received the message, they would think that it was Massie who made up the rumors, and they would probably turn against her. Everything is going according to the plan, she said to herself.
"We've got to thank Syd's hacking abilities…but, don't you think it seems to, I don't know, movie-ish?" Claire interrupted Nina's thoughts.
"What seems movie-ish?" Nina asked, puzzled.
"The whole text message thing?" Claire elaborated.
Nina smiled, "One thing I know about OCD, is that they love drama. And I know for sure that OCD High loves Drama x2. So, no, they won't suspect a thing."
"Other question: Do you think Alicia will believe the we're doing this to Massie to help Alicia thing?" Claire asked, "Because if not, I've got some ah-mazing ideas."
"Don't worry, if she didn't believe us before, she'll believe us after she reads both texts," Nina replied.
Claire sighed, "I can't wait to get Kristen."
"After Dylan leaves the P.C., we'll make up something genius," Nina assured.
Claire smiled deviously, "I already did."
