"Eh ma Gawd!" Kristen shrieked as the girls ran backstage for a quick two-minute break.
Alicia gave a shaky sigh. "I cannot believe I just admitted my insecurities of my c-cups on International TV. Live." She shook her head. "My dad is so going to sue." She whispered.
Claire stayed quiet. "Sorry Leesh," she finally said. "I know I swore not to mention the kiss with Jo- I mean, well, him, but I had no choice! Even if I lied, the lie detector would've caught it…"
Alicia glared at Claire and then sighed. "It's alright. Whatevs, they all know anyways."
Massie bit her lip. She could already tell the Claire was pissed at her, as well as Kristen, since they were both ignoring her completely.
"Um…" She said stupidly.
"My Mom is going. To. Freak." Kristen sighed, slumping into a nearby couch chair. "I basically admitted that I joined the soccer team for boys, making me sound like a slut, and…well, she knows about Griffin." Kristen shot Massie a glare.
"I'm sorry," Massie implored. "Really, Kris, I didn't…ugh!" She crumpled into the chair besides her. "Seriously. He asked me if I want to go for ice cream, I said yes, we flirted a bit, but it was completely innocent! I swear, I don't even like him!"
Kristen sighed. "I'm starting to think coming on this show was a bad idea."
"Ah-greed," Alicia mumbled, her hands still folded across her chest. "We didn't even get to publicize our alpha status!"
Dylan curled her hair with her baby finger. "Damn." She uttered.
Claire stood quiet, leaning against the wall, picking at her cuticles. "Well, it can't get any worse then this, now can it?" She muttered. Live! Dial L for Loser star dissed by best friend! Boyfriend cheats on her with best friend! Claire could practically see the headlines of J4 and People now.
"Listen," Massie started.
"Girls!" Merri-Lee beckoned them from the glass doors. "We're about to go live! Get into your seats, now!"
Claire walked away quickly, followed by the others.
Massie sighed. Screw this!

"Live in 3…2…1!" Almost immediately, the crowd started cheering as the camera rolled over to their favorite red-haired host.
"Welcome back to the Daily Grind, I'm here with Massie, Claire, Alicia, Kristen, and my very own Dylan!"
The girls filed for what seemed to be the hundredth time.
"We've been receiving some pretty fun questions for your favorite girls to answer, and we're ready for some more!"
It took all the girls had not to roll their eyes in sarcasm.
"We'll start answering the lines right away!" Merri-Lee smiled, and hit speaker. The phone started ringing at once.
"Our next caller is emeraldeyes101! What's your question, and who's it for?"
"Hey," a cheery voice answered. "Ok, um, I have a question for Massie Block. Who's your one true friend?"
Massie avoided the expecting look from Alicia, and the disappointed/knowing looks from Kristen and Dylan.
"Kuh-laire."
Claire looked up at the mention of her name. At first she looked confused, then surprised, then shocked, and then just plain speechless.
"What?" Screeched Alicia, unable to control her outburst. Then, her beautiful face turned bright crimson, and she covered her mouth, and looked down, too embarrassed to make eye contact with the audience.
"Alicia," Merri-lee stood. "Are you saying you thought Massie was going to pick you?"
"Yes!" Alicia blurted. "I mean, we've been besties for life, and when Kuh-laire first came, Masse detested her and I was the one who constantly stuck by her side, I was her beta!" She continued furiously.
Claire but her lip clearly upset.
Massie however, was pissed. OK, she thought, I've had enough of this! Ah-bviously we've lost all reputation whatsoever, no point in trying to look EIF on camera!
"Well," Massie snapped. "At least Kuh-laire had the decency to keep my secrets, at least Kuh-laire didn't walk out of TPC three times, and at least Kuh-laire didn't try to start her own clique just to backstab me!"
Alicia looked horrified. "Well!" She exclaimed indignantly.
"Well," Merri-Lee flashed her Crest White smile. "This is certainly getting interesting! Claire, what do you have to say about this?"
Claire opened her mouth and then closed it. "Erm," she turned bright red. "I…I'm 'pleased' that Mass thinks of me like that?" It was true, she did look pleased, but her mind was set. If Massie thinks this'll make up for being a backstabbing bitch, she's sooo wrong…
Alicia rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her boobs, causing the audience to break into giggles.
The phone rang again, and Merri-Lee picked it up. "Our next caller is brianaheart1995, how are you today?"
"Ah-mazing, Merri-Lee, I totally luh-ve your show, you are fabulous!"
The PC rolled their eyes. "Thanks, Hon," Merri-lee grinned. "Who's your question for?"
"I actually had a few questions for all of them."
"Go ahead," Merri-Lee leaned back into her chair.
"First, Alicia." Alicia nodded her head cautiously. "Have you ever thought about overthrowing Massie besides the time you started your own clique in 7th grade?"
Alicia avoided Massie's eyes which were quickly filling with pure hatred. "Um, yeah."
"When?" brianaheart1995 was filled with curiosity.
"Um, it's called none of your business!" Alicia snapped.
The phone remained silent. "This one is for Massie." She said finally. "Were you jealous of Claire when she starred in Dial L for Loser?"
Massie shrugged. Not bad, everyone would be jealous… "Yeah, at first, because I tried out for the same role, and after, it was her that was getting all the attention, but it didn't matter, really, because she was pretty cool about it." Massie glanced back hopefully to Claire to see her reaction, but Claire kept her eyes fixed firmly on the ground.
"Cool," brianaheart1995 responded. "OK, I have two for Claire."
Claire tried to look excited and nodded.
"One, have you ever regretted not leaving Westchester to pursue acting, and be more famous?"
Claire clicked her tongue. "Well, yeah, of course. I'll always be stuck with the feeling of unknown regret; what would've happened if I had gone…but I still think that my decision was the best. After all, I got to stick with my 'friends'," she put slight emphasis on friends, just to show Massie she was mad, "and I can always go to acting school in University…"
"That's cool. I'm sure you'll be the best actress ever!" brianaheart1995 giggled. "Second question, why do you like Cam, and is there anything you don't like about him?"
Claire pinched herself. Just a few seconds ago, she received a decent, non-embarrassing question. And now, she'd have to admit her few dislikes about Cam. You know what? Whatevs! She thought. He has the guts to cheat on me with my best friend, F him!
"Well," Claire structured carefully, "I liked the way I used to be able to trust Cam,"
"Why are speaking in past tense, Claire?" Merri-Lee intercepted. "Is It because you feel betrayed by him by dating Massie while you were dating?"
"Yes," Claire shot back heatedly. By the tone, Merri-Lee didn't ask anymore questions. "Go on."
"I also like the fact that he's always thinking of me, and doing really sweet stuff, like bringing me gummies, even though most guys don't like their girlfriends to eat junk food," she shot Alicia a meaningful look.
"What about the stuff you don't like?" brianaheart1995 asked.
"Well," Claire hesitated, "I didn't like the way he sometimes keeps secrets from me…and when I make a mistake, one that affects him, he got mad at me without letting me explain…" Claire drifted off, remembering the time after she kissed Josh and after she found out about Nikki…
"Well thanks!" brianaheart1995 exclaimed.
Merri-Lee checked her watch. "We have time for one more caller!"
The phone rang.
"Our next caller is valgal95! What's your question and for who?" Merri-Lee smiled.
"Hey," valgal95 said. "OK, this is for basically everyone. And my question is, have any of you ever spied on your boyfriends for trust issues or other?"
The girls all froze. Bad timing. And it was obvious what was going on in each of their heads. ESP.
A/N: TADAA! Lol, well there'll only be two more chapters after this, maybe even one long one, but I can only take a few more questions! So please, no more then one question in each review, and if this story takes a hit, I'll write a sequel, or something like it. Merci!
