The Daily Grind Show

Makeup and Wardrobe Room

Tuesday, February 1st

9:21 a.m.

"Dyl, you're such a genius!" Kristen squealed, while the makeup lady started to apply blush.

"Omigod, seriously! And you know that the fact that you were able to get us out of the first half of school was buh-rilliant?" Alicia said.

"Yeah, all I had to do was tell all the teachers that Merri-Lee would sign pictures of her and I would give the pics to them. And it worked!" Dylan cheered. The whole plan was that they were going to start in a circle, starting to reveal their true feelings about Massie. They were going to explain how they became a part of this group, and why they wanted to leave. The show would be playing tonight, and the girls were going to advertise the show in school, so that kids would watch it.

"Okay, girls! Ready for wardrobe?" asked the makeup lady, who led them into the wardrobe room. The girls were immediately surrounded by all the best designers, Marc Jacob, DKNY, Versace, Ralph Lauren, Ella Moss, AG, and Juicy. The wardrobe stylist saw the girls and started picking out outfits. In the end, their outfits were all 10s. Alicia was wearing a casual light brown Marc Jacob tank under a dark brown Ralph Lauren blazer. She was wearing limited edition Juicy jeans and brown flats. Dylan was wearing an DKNY olive baby-doll top and white leggings, with white flats. Kristen was wearing a green Puma jacket with gold stripes, a pair of jeans by AG, gold sneakers, and a gold headband. Claire was wearing a bright orange top over brown Ella Moss jeans, with brown flats.

They walked onto the set and was greeted by Merri-Lee Marvil herself and were quickly seated.

"The show is live in..." A recorded voice came over the air.

"5, 4, 3, 2....1! Please welcome Merri-Lee Marvil!" The crowd burst into applause. Merri Lee looked stunning in a light goldish brown suit with gold jewelry.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Daily Grind! Today's topic is called True Feelings. And none other than to display how they feel, are my daughter and her best friends!"

The camera quickly shot to Alicia, Dylan, Kristen, and Claire and they all started waving.

"Hey! These are my BFFs, Dylan, Kristen, and Claire. We are going to be doing a little segment on True Feelings. You see..." Alicia paused, wiping her eyes, pretending she was crying. "Claire, why don't you explain?" she said, sobbing a little bit.

"Well, Massie was the leader of our group. She seemed nice, but she had tah-ortured us all before. When we wanted to become friends with her, we had to suffer a lot. After we had succeeded and became friends with her, a couple of years later, all of us had fallen in love. And Massie said that we had to break up with our boyfriends, and when we said nuh-o, she called us babies and said we were ugly." The audience gasped, giving good effects. "We decided that no girl should give us that treatment. So, we are going to explain what true friends SHOULD NOT do. Take it away, Dyl."

Dylan smiled for the camera, and then started to explain, "I was on stage, in my 5th grade talent show, and I was singing. I admired Massie from afar, and I did try to become friends with her. Anyway, when I was on stage, I got really nervous and threw up, and Massie started luh-aughing at me! And then, she took a picture of it and started to send the picture to everyone. I still tried to be friends with her, still ignoring what she had done. She finally accepted me when she saw that my mom was Merri-Lee Marvil. That hurt, but I wanted her friendship." Dylan looked at her mom, and her mom gave her a thumbs-up.

"Alicia?"

Alicia cleared her throat and began, "Massie Block was buh-eautiful. But everyone said I was puh-rettier. So I formed a club. The club started worshiping me more than they worshiped Massie, and Massie got mad. She invited me to a sleepover, took a picture of me right when I woke up in the morning, and sent it to everyone in the school. My rep went down fast and Massie came to me and told me that someone else had sent that picture, and if I wanted to be friends with her. I accepted, and later I found out that she took that picture of me."

The audience sympathized for Alicia, and she grinned.

"Don't you feel bad for these girls? Well, if you want to hear the other girls' stories, don't pick up that remote. We'll be right back." Merri-Lee held her smile until the director put his arms down. Merri-Lee rushed over to Dylan and started to hug her and rub her back.

"Dyl, I am so sorry, sweetie. I keep on comparing your weight to the other girls, and I forget that you have talents. You're a delightful singer honey, and I want you to sing for the Daily Grind Show...today. Can you do that? And after school, I'll take you shopping and you can buy the entire mall, all size sixes. I don't care about your weight anymore, I just care about you."

Dylan had tears in her eyes when she looked up at her mom.

"For you, anything." Dylan said, wiping away the tears before they ruined her $50 mascara.

"OMG!" the girls all exclaimed, when Merri-Lee had walked away. "We didn't know you could sing, Dylan!"

"Well, you'll find out soon enough." Dylan said, walking towards the stage. She grabbed the microphone and the director started to signal to her. Suddenly they were live. Dylan started to sing.

"Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces past and I'm homebound.

Staring blankly ahead just making my way, making my way through the crowd.

And I need you.

And I miss you.

And now I wonder." Dylan sang, with amazing vocal technique. Suddenly, all her friends saw her through a different view. They didn't see her as the food-loving, weight-obsessed, camera-allergic, girl. Instead they saw her as a gorgeous redhead who could sing, and loved her friends.

"If I could just, see you...tonight." All her friends ran up and gave her one of the tightest hugs they could give her. She smiled and quietly murmured, "I love you guys."

The girls started up again, explaining their stories. When Claire and Kristen were done, the audience was mad. They were furious at Massie. Everyone was. Alicia spoke up, trying to get the last word in.

"So, as you can see everyone, Massie Block was not kind to us. I mean, who says mean things about her friends when they want to be in love? Please remember, always listen to your heart. Choose good friends. None of us would abandon each other for love. A true friend wuh-ould support someone with love, and kindness. This has been Alicia Rivera, Claire Lyons, Kristen Stewart, and Dylan Marvil! We heart you!"

"And that's a wrap!" The director yelled.

"Girls, that was fabulous. Great job." Merri-Lee said, coming up to them.

Alicia had a sneaky look in her eyes, and the girls sensed it immediately. They knew that Alicia was wondering what Massie Block would have to say about all of this. They all were wondering.

Author's Note: The song: A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton.

I do not own the Clique. Lisi Harrison does!

BTW, on Lisi Harrison's Blah-g, she says there is going to be a prequel to the Clique series!!! It is going to be about how the Pretty Committee met each other, but this story does NAWT have anything to do with it! It was just an idea.
