Another Lyons?
Chapter One: The Pretty Comittiee Meets Claire
Disclaimer: I am not Lisi Harrison. I do not own anything.
Question: In the fourth book, why does Massie and Claire talk about Aspen? I mean, I know that they went there for the summer and all, but it leaves out soooo much. Am I supposed to read the summer books in between the actual books? PM the answer, or leave it in a review, T-H-A-N-K-S!!
Warning: I have only read the first four novels. So if some of it doesn't follow along with the new books, you know why ahead of time.
Summary: When the Lyonses come from Orlando, Florida, Massie is not a happy-camper. With three new kids on her turf, who would? But Massie doesn't mind the eldest Lyon, Ethan. (Claire's twin) With Ethan's good looks, ah-dorable personality, Massie thinks that if she can't have him no one can. But does getting Ethan mean having to be nice to Claire and Todd? Can she make a sacrifice, to get what she wants the most? Or will Massie find out that all the Lyons aren't half bad??

Alicia stood at her locker, looking at herself in the mirror. She knew what Icky-Claire had told her earlier couldn't be true. Could it?
"Alicia, how can you believe your so amazingly flawless?" Claire asked as Alicia was fixing her makeup on her compact. While being in a car; but she could pull it off.
Massie answered for her, "Because she just is, Kuh-laire."
Claire thought of a comeback, "You all think your so cool? Don't you?"
"Claire, Claire, Claire," Massie said shaking her head back and forth.
Claire wondered if they looked like this all the time. Massie had on a sundress, probably from some top brand, with white sandals and a purple headband in her hair. Alicia, was wearing some jean skirt with flip-flops and a fancy beaded shirt. Dylan and Kristen, other girls in the "Pretty Committee" as Massie called it, were wearing different things too. Most likely from a name brand type of thing too. It didn't matter; Claire didn't understand clothes like these girls did. She was used to overalls, and sweat pants. That would soon have to change, Claire thought.
Dylan spoke up, "Claire, if you don't like the way we act now, wait until we get to school."
And that was that. Claire kept her mouth closed the rest of the way. Alicia didn't know if she was intimidated by the new girl or not. She would just have to wait and see.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap…
Claire was thinking hard. That was the reason for the tapping. She always did that when she was in a major, thinking mode, thing. She was super nervous, this first day at OCDS was not a good one. Between the "Pretty Committee" and being new and all, it wasn't a day Claire would like to remember. Claire hoped her brother, Ethan, was having a better day. As soon as she got home he would probably tell her about the "Awesome" day he had. Ethan was easy to like. And Claire knew that. But Claire on the other hand, well, let's just say she's a bit more stubborn…
"Miss. Lyons?" Her math teacher, Mr. Fredrick asked.
"Ummm, yes?" Claire asked, unsure if she should have said that.
"Would you care to answer the problem on the board?" He asked gesturing toward the whiteboard.
Claire didn't tell many people this, but she was super good at math. She loved doing it too. The problem on the board; was no problem for Claire.
(A/N: Confusing Much??)
"159," Claire finally said.
"Yes, that is the correct answer," Mr. Fredrick said, "Now, Sarah, do you know…"
Claire didn't bother to listen to the rest. It was all a bore.

Claire walked into her new home. She loved walking away from the fact that Massie Block wasn't around her anymore. The only class she didn't have with Massie and her clones was in math. And she was thankful for that. She didn't need teasing.
"Hey, Claire," Ethan said as Claire walked into the kitchen.
"Hiii," Claire dragged on. She hoped her brother got the hint that she wanted to talk.
"What's up? How was your first day?" Ethan asked.
Thank you! Claire thought.
Claire spilled her guts about everything that happened that day. Even how the girls got mad that she was going to eat some candy. She had to throw it out, thanks to Massie.
Ethan was a good listener. And he always had Claire's back. But this time, when Claire was done talking, Ethan didn't say anything. He walked out the front door. Claire, being a curious person, looked out the window to she where her twin was going.
He was headed straight towards the Block's house.
A/N: Like it? I know it's short, and I'm sorry for the wait. But my mom is making me practice for cheer tryouts. I'm nervous!! I hopeee I make it.. But anyways, Leave a review please!! Make my day!!
