BOCD

Lunchtime

Monday, January 31

12:07 p.m.

Massie looked around the BOCD lunchroom, helplessly like an LBR. She had been standing there with her lunchtray in her hand for the past five minutes, trying to find a place to sit. Finally, she decided to sit next to Strawberry, Duh-livia Ryans, and Allie Rose-Singer.

"Hey! Mind if I sit here?" Massie said, beaming to her new her friends.

All the girls were in shock, not knowing if Massie was really serious that they wanted to sit with her. Eventually, Allie Rose-Singer replied, "Sure, Massie!"

She sat down, and all the girls started talking at once. Massie nodded her head, but inside she could only think about yesterday. As she moved a piece of salad drenched with caesar low-fat dressing, she couldn't help wonder if she had done the wrong thing. She casually glanced at the Pretty Committee, who were sitting with their boyfriends. Cam had Claire on his lap, and she was feeding him Gummi Feet. Dylan and Chris were staring dreamily into each other's eyes as if not noticing anything around them, and Kristen and Dune were arm wrestling. They all looked so happy. Not like her. She thought about last night, when she was in her king-sized canopy bed, covered in cashmere blankets and cotton comforters, where she cried all over waterproof mascara off, thinking about the ex-Pretty Committee.

Alicia looked over at Massie, who seemed like she was about to cry.

"Yes!" thought Alicia. "Finally my time to shine is here. The girls will neh-ver go back to Massie Block."

"Josh, will you excuse me for a second?" Alicia said, batting her eyelashes.

"Of course, sweetie." he placed a soft kiss on her lips and she sighed dreamily. She was so glad she had chosen love over Massie.

"Girls!" She said, clapping her hands. "Please be excused from your delightful boyfriends and come with me."

All the girls excused themselves and followed Alicia. She took them out of the lunchroom and into the bathroom, where the girls immediately started applying makeup. Alicia looked under all the bathroom stalls, and luckily they were empty.

"So, girls, aren't you glad that we chose love over Massie?" Alicia asked, thinking and knowing this question was going to have the girls think about their choices.

"Duh!" the girls giggled and said in unison, still applying lip gloss.

"So, we need a new alpha right? Someone who will allow love whenever?" Alicia said, casually glancing at her diamond wristwatch.

"Totally," said Dylan.

"I agree," Claire said. Kristen just nodded her head.

"So, if the new alpha will allow love, who do you think it should be?" the girls turned to each other, murmuring quietly, deciding their new alpha.

"Ahem," Claire finally spoke. "Alicia, we think that you should be the new alpha. As long as you obey the rules that we are allowed to have love whenever we'd like, you will be our alpha. Ah-greed?"

Alicia's heart started to beat loudly in her ears, she was so excited. She took a minute to look up at the ceiling, making the girls wait to see if she would honor the roll.

"Of course! I would luh-ve to be your alpha. Don't worry, I'll make the "rules" later. Can we hang out at my house tonight?"

"Sure!" The chorus of the girls responded. Dylan began to laugh hysterically and Kristen turned eagerly, wanting to find out the joke.

"Yeah?" She said.

A mischevious smile formed on Dylan's lips. "Girls, I am going to make a Current State of Union, like Massie does. Just this once."

Alicia handed Dylan a bright red lipstick and Dylan started to write on the mirror.

Dylan grinned, and all the other girls started to wander. What was Dylan planning?
