Chapter 2

(1st day at BHH)

Claire clutched her book bag as she glanced at the paper in front of her. "Welcome to Beverly Hills High! Your locker is #270. The combo was given to you in the mail a week ago which is the continuation of this sheet. Good luck!"

"Oh great." Claire said as she looked at her locker. "How the hell was I supposed to know that I would be getting something in the mail that was this important?" She said and banged on the locker. She then looked around to see if there was possibly someone there that could help her. She then spotted a group of girls who seamed to be chatting with a lot of people. "Oh, they look friendly" She said and smiled a bit.

When Claire arrived there she saw one of the girls slightly lifting up her skirt.

"I got it yesterday at Victoria Secrets. It's so silky. Want to feel?" She said to a group of boys and pointed at her thong.

"Um, excuse me. Can you please help me?" Claire said and showed a bit disgust at the thong. Perhaps these weren't the best people to go to for help.

"What kind of help?" Said a tan girl with brunette hair. The rest of the girls giggled a bit. Claire was begging to feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Um, you see I never got the sheet where it tells you your locker combo."

Claire said a bit her lip.

"Well they sure don't send it to rejects." Said another girl with long pale blonde hair tied in a braid. She also had a slight British accent.

"Girls, let's be nice to newbie." Said a tall girl with blonde hair. The same girl who was showing off the thong. "What's your name?" She said and crossed her arms. "And where are you from?"

"Um, my name is Claire Lyons and…."

"Wait, stop right there." Said a girl with wavy blonde hair. "You were in 'Dial L for Loser' right?"

"Um, yeah."

"You played the loser right?" said another girl that looked identical to the wavy blonde haired girl.

"Um, yeah."

"You did a fabulous job." She said. The rest of the girl's giggled.

"Um, thanks. I guess." Claire said. The girls giggled even more, and so did the boys.

"Hey you!" Said a girl with curly strawberry blonde hair to Claire. She was standing distant in the hallway and had her arms crossed.

"Oh gawd, look. It's the queen loser herself." Said the brunette girl.

"At least I'm the of the 'queen' of something." The girl said and smirked at bit. The brunette girl's eyes flashed angrily as she crossed her arms and said nothing. Claire looked at the girl in confusion. "Um, am I in trouble?"
"No she's just recruiting new members for the geek squad." One of the twins said.

"I think I can help." The curly strawberry blonde-haired girl said and smiled at Claire.

"Please, if this is some sort of trick that's going to humiliate me…."

"No, only those bitches would do that sort of thing." She said and pointed to the group of girls that were dissing Claire.

"Oh Hailey, shame on you. You shouldn't use such bad language around this poor little lost girl. Besides, we were just having a little fun." Said the tall blonde haired girl.

"Fun isn't making fun of others Angela." The girl named Hailey said.

"Please let there be a distraction." Claire whispered to herself. She wasn't ready to witness a bitch fight in school, nevertheless on the 1st day.

"Hey Hailey! Get your ass over here!" Said a tiny girl with blonde hair tied up in a bun. Hailey looked at the mean girls one last time and gave them and look. She then turned to the short girl and shouted. "Hey Katie, I found a newbie who needs some help with her locker." Hailey said and smiled at Claire. "Don't worry, I had the same problem when I was new too. I'm Hailey by the way." She said and smiled.

"I'm Claire." She said, still a bit nervous.

"So what's your locker number?" The girl said.

"I think it's #270." Claire said and smiled back. This girl seamed pretty nice and even saved her butt from being humiliated.

"Hey! I'm right next to you!" Hailey said and smiled.

"Hey Hail, is this the newbie?" Said the short girl.

"Yeah, her name is Claire. Claire this is Katie, Katie this is Claire." Hailey said and pointed.

"Hi, how ya doing?" Katie said and held out her hand.

"Um, I'm a bit nervous." Claire said and blushed.

"What? About them?" Hailey said and pointed at the group of girls who dissed Claire.

"Well, kind of…." Claire said and looked at her Keds. She wasn't ready to be treated like crap by a couple of bitchy girls again. But she didn't want to mess with them either.

"Don't worry about them, they're just a bunch of bitches that are desperate for attention."

"Well, they seam to have enough." Claire said and pointed.

"That's the thing about them." Hailey said and whispered. "It's just never enough."

"You seriously weren't going to let her join were you?" Amanda said in her British accent.

"Of course not, but it's always good to make a first impression." Angela replied and took up a tube of blood red lipstick.

"Hey that's not fair!" Said Amber, one of the 'twins' "Your promised us you wouldn't use that until the prom!"

"Chillax Amber, this isn't for me. It's for someone else." Angela said and pointed at Claire.

"It's always the first impression that counts." Said Alexandra (The brunette) and giggled.

"Hey there Cassie." Angela said to Claire once Katie and Hailey were gone.

"Um, my name is Claire." She said and turned pink in the face.

"Right, that's what I said Casey." Angela said, the other girls started to laugh. "Anyway, I'm real sorry about them." Angela said and pointed to the girls.

"Oh it's no problem." Claire said and seamed a bit calmer. Angela then took out her lipstick and pretended to drop it. "Whoops, I better get that." She said and bent down to get it. As Angela was coming up she gently brushed the red lipstick on the back of Claire's pants. The other girls were trying as hard as they could not to crack up.

"There." Angela said and closed the top.

"Wait, you're not going to use it?" Claire said and pointed.

"After it dropped on the floor? Oh silly Clarice, you have a lot of learning to do." She said and walked off. "See you later Carrie!" Angela called and walked off with her crew. Claire didn't know what to make of it, but she knew they were up to something.

"Hailey, is there something wrong with me?" Claire said and twisted sideways.

"Um, physically or mentally?" She said in a confused tone.

"No, I think those girls did something to me."

"Let Katie check, she has eyes like a hawk." She said and motioned her hand at her. Katie looked up and down at Claire from head to toe. But it only was when she said 'turn around' did the girls gasp.

"Claire…" Hailey slowly said.

"What!? What is it?"

"You have IT."

"What?"

"IT. You have it." Hailey said and whispered to Katie to go get toilet tissue.

"Oh great!" Claire said as she walked into the bathrooms.

"Wait a sec…" Katie said as she wiped off the red stuff from Claire's pants. This isn't IT, its red lipstick!" She said and showed Claire and Hailey the residents on the tissue.

"Those damn bitches…" Hailey said and made a fist.

Claire rolled her eyes. "I knew it was too good to be true. I knew it would come back to haunt me…." Claire said and crouched down with her arms folded.

"Don't worry I'll be sure to get them." Hailey said and cracked her knuckles.

"Hailey no! Not after what happened last year!" Katie said and held her hand.

"What? What happened?" Claire said.

"It's nothing!" Katie quickly said. "Just ask if you can wear your gym shorts for the rest of the day." She said and gave a sympathetic look.

"But then everyone will think I peed my pants!" Claire said as tears swelled up in her eyes.

"Honey, this is Beverly Hills. It's like no other. Besides, you'll probably look sexy in them." Hailey said and smiled.

"There mesh Hail." Katie said and rolled her eyes.

"Wait a sec….." Claire said. "I have a great idea!"

"But you'll look great in them!" Hailey said seriously.

"And so will Angela…" Claire said and grinned mischievously.
