Claire's Penthouse,
Thursday, 10:30 A.M.
Manhattan, NYC
Claire stepped out of the shower gracefully, and brushed her long hair. Selena was in the other room with the puppy Kristen had given her yesterday Pushkin. Which meant 'kitten' in Irish. ( A/N. I learned that from my stepmom in Ireland. That is actually the name of my little Westie that I got for my B-day. ) Selena peeped into the bathroom. " Mommy, Pushkin wants to sleep but I wanna go on the balcony with him and show him all of the tall buildings!" Claire turned to Selena and smiled. "Selena honey, let Pushkin sleep. He is very tired, and he can't go on the balcony anyway. He would fall off." Selena sulked out of the bathroom, and into her bedroom.
Claire slid on her baby blue velour Juicy sweats, and a tight BeBe tank top, then strutted into the room. Selena was in her bedroom that had been painted hot pink and consisted of a purple canopy bed, a white Apple laptop, a purple dresser, a purple desk, a fuzzy purple phone, and a fuzzy pink Ralph Lauren rug. ( I have the same Ralph Lauren rug in my bedroom. Its so soft!) Selena was lying down on her bed, and staring out at the balcony.
Selena turned to Claire and she was suddenly excited. "Did I tell you that I met these four girls yesterday with Auntie Kristen? Yeah, their names are Lily, Madison, Jade, and Monica. Madison and Monica are twins. Jade and Lily are really pretty though. Here is a picture of all of us." Selena whipped out the purple Envy Massie had given her a couple days ago. Claire looked at the picture. A thin girl with a blond bob, and super green eyes was in the middle. She looked like a model, and almost resembled Selena a little bit. Selena pointed to her. "Thats Lily." Selena pointed to a girl with chocolate skin, and a cute mass of curly brown hair. The girl had the most warm caramel brown eyes. Just like Derrick's. " Thats Jade. And these are the twins Maddie and Monica. " Claire took the phone and looked at the two girls. One had red brown hair that went down her back, with clear blue eyes and freckles, and the other had red brown hair that stopped at her shoulders, and had a cute side sweep like that one that Massie had in 7th grade, clear blue eyes, and freckles.
Claire raised her eyebrows. "They are really cute! Where did you meet them?" Selena closed her phone and Claire saw her eyes sparkle. " When me and Kristen were at Starbucks yesterday, their nannies were buying them Lattes, and Lily said that she liked my boots. After that we talked for a long time, and they invited me over to Lily's house today at 3:30! Isn't that cool?!" Claire smiled at Selena. "See? I told you that you would make friends! Here lets call Massie and tell her." Claire dialed Massie's number.
After three rings, someone picked up. The voice was male and sounded groggy. " Hello?" Claire gasped. "Derrick?! What are you doing with Massie's phone?!" Derrick seemed to be blushing, because Claire heard Derrick chuckle nervously, and stutter. "Well... I'm kinda at Massie's house right now. I spent the night, but nothing happened I-" Claire cut him off. "Its fine. So, um can you put Massie on?" Claire heard Derrick yell, "Block! Phone!" Massie must have been changing because Claire heard Massie say, "Do these shorts make my butt look elongated?" Derrick snorted. "Why do you care? Claire's on the phone."
Massie picked up. " Hello? Claire?" Claire sighed. "Yeah, well it looks like Selena is in her own clique already. And I have to say, they are quite mature for their ages." Massie gasped. "No way! Ok tell." "Well I'm guessing that Lily a cute blond with a bob is the alpha, Jade a cute little girl with curly hair is the beta, and the twins Maddie and Monica are probably like just popular girls in the clique." Massie screamed. "Ehmagawd! Why isn't Selena the alpha?!" Claire giggled. "Well I'm just guessing that she is the alpha, but I'm probably wrong. Anyway Selena is going over to the girl Lily's house at 3:30 to meet them all. Its gonna end in a sleepover I'm positive." Massie still sounded irritable. "Well I'm glad the Selena finally found a clique. To alpha for. But I hope this Lily girl doesn't think that she is more special than Selena or something. I might have to show her whose boss..." Massie trailed off, and Claire snickered. "Shut up. Ok so Cam Griffin, and Derrick wanted to hang with me and Selena today so we better do it soon. Tell Derrick to get his ass out of bed and change." Claire said. Massie screamed at Derrick. "Derrick Claire says to get your lazy ass out of bed. We are going out."
Claire hung up and found Selena all ready to go. Claire didn't feel like dressing up so she kept her baby blue sweats on and her tank top. She decided to wear her tan Uggs, and her blue Juicy hoodie. She quickly threw her hair in a messy bun, and didn't bother putting on makeup. She spritzed on Clinique Heart and grabbed her phone. Selena wore a matching pink velour Juicy sweat suit, and tan Uggs. Except she kept her hair down. "Mommy look! We are matching! Lets go see daddy!" Claire slipped on her big Gucci sunglasses and the girls strutted out of the penthouse looking like the effortless beauties they were.
Claire felt natural today, so they conserved gas and walked to the French cafe they were all meeting at. When they got there, everyone was waiting for her and sitting at a small round table. When they saw her, they gasped. "Claire! Why the hell are you wearing sweat pants and Uggs?! You stand out like Derrick in a strip club!" Massie yelled. Derrick glared at Massie. "Now wait a minute! That was totally uncalled for! " Claire giggled and Selena rolled her eyes. "Gawd! Derry get a life!" Derrick blushed. "Now thats not cool. Why the hell is everyone ganging up on me?!" Cam rolled his eyes. "Because your too easy." Selena laughed then ran over to give Cam a hug. "Cam kissed the top of her head. "Hey sweetie. How are you?" Selena looked at Cam. "I'm an alpha! Claire and Massie told me so!" Claire giggled as she sat down in between Cam and Griffin. Claire took off her hoodie and revealed her white BeBe tank top. Claire slid the Gucci glasses to the top of her hair.
Massie gasped again. " I can not believe that you would actually want to be seen out of the house with NO MAKEUP ON!" Massie said to Claire again in disgust. Claire rolled her eyes. Griffin looked at Claire and Claire stuck her tongue out at him. The waitress blushed she saw how beautiful everyone was. "What can I get you?" She stuttered. Everyone ordered a breakfast. And when the waitress asked Claire she thought for a moment. " Um, I'm actually not going to have anything. I'll just have a Vitamin Water." Massie rolled her eyes. "Starving yourself already?" Claire giggled. "Fashion Week. Lavin. Size zero. Thats all I have to say." Derrick and Cam snorted. "Claire you are like already a freaking size two. Your too skinny." Claire snickered. "A two isn't a zero."
Griffin's phone rang and Claire slid it out of his pocket to answer it for him. Griffin tried to grab it from her, but Claire had already said hello. "Hello" "Hello is this Claire Lyons?!" Claire giggled. "Yes it is. Who is this?" Claire suddenly recognized the nasally squeal on the other end. " OLIVIA RYAN?!" Everyone in the cafe looked at Claire like she was an insane mad woman. Griffin grimaced. " Yeah, um I was actually calling to ask Griffin a question about you, so I guess I'll just ask you. Are you and Griffin dating?" Claire narrowed her eyes. "Why...?" Claire suddenly heard Tiffany Laurencram, and NIKKI giggle in the back round. "No reason." Claire was getting pissed. " Tiffany, Nikki, and Olivia. Congrats! You have officially given me a reason to use my LTK on you." Massie, Derrick, Cam, and Selena all laughed at Claire's sour face. "Whats that?" Olivia asked dumbly. "License To Kill." Claire was getting bored so she hung up and everyone looked at her.
"It was Olivia Ryan, Tiffany Laurencrap, and Nikki Whore-bag." Everyone rolled their eyes and Claire could feel the tension between her and Griffin. "So who thinks I should send the pictures of Selena to my agent?" Massie raised her hand and Selena followed. Cam gasped. "Selena is a model?!" Claire nodded. "Yuppers." Everyone was silent for awhile, and everyone ate in silence. Finally Selena spoke up. "This is boring. Can I go to Lily's house now? She said I could come early." Massie giggled. "You are like a mini me. Sure text Lily and tell her to come pick you up." Selena smiled sheepishly. " Thanks. But I already texted her. She'll be down in about two minutes.
Suddenly Lily, Jade, Maddie, and Monica burst through the door and strutted up to Selena. " Selena!" Lily screamed when she saw her. Selena jumped down from her seat and air kissed each of the girls. Lily spoke up. " Thank god you called! How could we live without our alpha?!" Lily had the most adorable British accent that Massie had ever heard. Jade nodded. "Selena can we meet your older sisters?" Maddie said in a cute perky voice. Selena turned to everyone who smiled down at the four cute girls. "This is my Auntie Massie. She is a model." The girls gasped and all waved at Massie with admiration. Massie smiled at the girls. Selena pointed to Cam. "Thats my daddy, Claire, Griffin, and Derrick." Claire waved. "And look! Me and Claire are matching!" Selena exclaimed as Claire stood up and twirled around with Selena. Cam and Griffin rolled their eyes.
"Ok well my mom is in the cab waiting for us, so we should go. Bye! It was nice meeting all of you! And can Selena sleepover at my house tonight?" Lily asked. Massie nodded. "Perf! Just don't cut each others hair or anything crazy. Bye girls!" The five girls skipped out of the cafe and jumped into the cab where Lily's mom was waiting.
After the taxi was out of sight, Claire stood and put her glasses back on. "Lets ditch. I'm too tired to be seen in public right now." Cam laughed. "Isn't that obvious." Claire smacked him. "Shut up! I'm totally natural, casual chic! No how about we all go to my house so we can chill." Everyone agreed and they all walked to Claire's apartment.
Once upstairs, Massie and Derrick snuck off to Claire's kitchen, and hit the popcorn machine. Claire, Cam, and Griffin stood there awkwardly, until Claire finally said, "Yeah you guys I'll be right back, I gotta go change." Claire rushed into her room, and slid into a Anna Sui matte jersey dress, black LNA zipper leggings, and her favorite black Chuck Taylors high tops, white Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses, and completed the outfit with her vintage fedora hat.
When Claire came out of her room, Massie, Derrick, Cam, and Griffin had their shoes and coats on. Ready to go somewhere. "So what do you think? Does this outfit just scream ' Vintage Punk' or what?!" Claire sang happily as she grabbed her black Kooba Ashley tote. Massie clapped. "Very vintage punk! Griffin don't you just love your little punk Claire?" Claire blushed, and Griffin shook his head and laughed. "Of course! Or else I wouldn't be resisting the urge to grab her." Massie, Derrick, and Cam all exchanged a glance. Claire giggled. " You don't have to resist anymore. I'm all yours!" Claire jumped on Griffin's back, and Griffin carried her around the room. Claire squealed as her glasses, and hat fell off.
Massie rolled her eyes. "Alright love birds thats enough! Lets go!" Claire jumped down from Griffin's back. " Where are we going?" Cam flicked Claire's flawless forehead, and Claire giggled. "Hey! What did you do that for?!" Cam laughed as Claire hit him with her tote. "Jesus Claire! What do you have in that bag?!" Claire rolled her eyes. "Unidentified objects that happen to be very hard. Have fun with them while they last!" Claire hit him one more time with her bag, then turned to everyone else. "Let that be a warning to anybody who feels the need to disturb my peace. Now shall we proceed?" Derrick snickered, as Cam rubbed the bruises on his arm. "Seriously Mass. Where are we going?!" Claire said getting impatient. Massie rolled her eyes. "Kuh-laire! Patience is a virtue! Get used to it!" Claire crossed her arms and whined like a child. "But I wanna know!" Massie slapped Claire's thing arm, and Claire shut up.
They stopped in front of a tall building across from Central Park. Massie directed everyone to the elevator inside. "Massie Block! Where are you taking us!" Cam finally said when the elevator dinged on the 12th floor. The doors opened to reveal a front desk. The doors and windows were glass, the carpet was white, and the walls were purple. The petite woman typing away furiously on her white computer looked up when Massie stepped into the room. Her tiny white desk consisted of a computer, and a phone. Claire noticed that right above the desk in bold white and purple letters was the word 'Lust'. The woman scampered over to meet Massie and her friends. "Welcome Ms. Block! Everything is waiting for you." Massie smiled. "Thank you Carmen."
Massie lead a puzzled Derrick, an anxious Claire, a bored Griffin, and a curious Cam down a long corridor that had various glass doors that lead to offices. Massie made a show of stopping in every office and saying hello to who ever was in there. They all had purple walls, and everything else was white. When they finally reached the end of the corridor, they stopped at a glass door with the words ' Lust MB' scrawled in purple letters on it. "Massie seriously, what is this place?!" Claire said impatiently. Massie smirked then opened the door to the office.
Everyone gasped. The carpet was white, the desk was purple, the walls were white, the Italian leather seats were purple, and the huge curtains were purple. Right in the middle of the white carpet in big purple letters were the initials 'MB'. Massie smirked at everyones surprised expressions. "What is this place Block?!" Derrick said breathlessly. Massie smiled and collapsed in the huge purple desk chair. "My fashion label Lust. " Claire's eyes widened and she squealed. "Massie when did you get a fashion label?!" Massie hugged Claire.
"Remember how I was complaining about my parents not getting me anything for my birthday?! Well I was wrong! They did! This label! My mom decorated it just the way the Ipad was decorated! All purple and white! And she had Donatella, Ralph, and Louis Vuitton in here! I was like, 'EHMAGAWD!' The first time that my mom told me about it! This is my first time actually coming here! But my mom sent me like a billion and one pictures of it to me! And she like sent pictures of me to all of the people who work for me. How amazing is that! I have people working for me now! And I will be presenting my collection at New York fashion week!!" Claire and Massie squealed and jumped up and down.
"So thats why you were all pigging out right before Fashion Week! I was getting nervous for a moment! Ehmagawd! Massie! Do you know what this means?! You are a freaking fashion designer! You could be like the next Chanel! OMG! You are like gonna be a fashion icon!" Claire exclaimed. Cam and Griffin laughed at Claire who was turning on the stereo and blasting the song, "Party Foul" by Danger Radio, and danced.
Derrick kissed Massie on the cheek. "Wow. I'm the boyfriend of a fashion icon and a designer and a model! I must be pretty special." Massie kissed Derrick on the lips then pulled away. " Well you must be if you have Massie Block head over heels in love with you." Derrick's eyes sparkled. "Are you serious?! Your in love with me?! I thought it was just me.." Massie rolled her eyes. "Your just trying to make me say it again." Derrick smirked. "Am I that obvious?" Massie laughed. "Look." Massie pointed to Claire who was dancing to the music.
Cam was trying to dance next to Claire, but Griffin was trying to push him out of the way. Claire was in the middle of a Cam vs. Griffin dance off, and she didn't even care! Cam and Griffin danced, and eventually started glaring at each other. Claire finally fell down because they were squishing her so much trying to dance with her. Then the two of them both reaching down to help Claire up at the same time. Griffin slapped Cam's hand away, who slapped Griffin's hand away, and eventually it turned into a Cam vs. Griffin slap-off.
Meanwhile Claire was still sitting on the floor with her arms and legs crossed indian style waiting for one of them to help her up. Cam won the slap-off, and helped Claire up with a victory smirk on his face. "Here you go Claire. I'm so sorry that Griffin knocked you over while you were trying to dance." Cam said trying to rub it in Griffin's face. Griffin glowered at Cam as he pushed Claire on the floor again. But on purpose this time he shoved Cam out of the way so he could help Claire up. Claire glared at them and slapped Griffin's hand away. She stood up and began to yell at them. "You lunatics! What is your problem?! Here I am trying to have fun, and you guys are having a freaking slap-off! Well I'll have you know that I won't tolerate that kind of behavior..." Claire continued to lecture them. Cam and Griffin both hung their heads and mumbled sorry while Claire yelled.
Meanwhile Massie and Derrick were doubled over in hysterics at the whole thing. Claire yelling at Cam and Griffin like their mom, and Cam and Griffin actually hanging their heads like naughty little boys. "I'm so glad that I'm not Claire." Massie mumbled when she stopped laughing. Derrick nodded in agreement. Claire whipped her head around to face Massie and Derrick and glared. "Its nawt funny! They are acting like a bunch of six-year-olds! And to think they are fully grown men!" Claire muttered. Massie rolled her eyes. "Ok shows over douche bags, lets go." Claire and Massie glared at each one of the guys as they followed the girls obediently.
On their way out, Carmen scrambled out of her seat and said, "Have a nice day Ms. Block! I hope to see you here tomorrow!" Massie didn't even look at Carmen as she pressed the elevator button and waited for it. "Thank you Carmen. I might return tomorrow if I feel like it. And tell Lucinda that I will have the designs in her office by Sunday." Carmen scrawled something down on a sticky note, and rushed off down the corridor to Lucinda's office.
As they raced down the elevator, and out to halt a taxi, Claire noticed how Massie held her head even higher than she used to. "Oh boy. She is gonna be a handful." Claire murmured under her breath as they all slid into the taxi. Massie looked at Claire. "Did you say something?" Claire shook her head. "Nope. It was nothing." Massie shrugged and turned back to Derrick.
Yayyy! I have finally figured out how to link pictures to my profile!! So now if you look on my profile, I have pictures of Massie, Claire, Alicia, Kristen, Dylan, Derrick, and Selena. And I have the dresses that Massie and Claire wore to the party on my profile as well! I am so smartical!! Oh and in case any of you forgot that I would eventually have Massie own a label, go check "The more i hate you the more i love you" and on the first chapter read Massie's little description thing. It says that for her birthday she gets a fashion label. Ok so now Selena finally has her own clique! What should their name be?! Suggestions please! Please and Thank you!
