I have recently finished It's Not Easy Being Mean and the last few pages of the book left me wanting to read more. The book ends with the Pretty Committee being able to see the secret room in OCD for the first time. I wasn't sure how much information would be given by the end of the book. It ends with "Massie reached her hand inside the dark room and flicked on the lights. Alicia, Claire, Dylan, and Kristen stepped forward. Everyone gasped. 'Did I lie?' Skye gushed. Massie tried to answer but coudln't find the words. No one could" When I read this, I though of two things. One was that the room was as amazing as Skye had described it. That it would have a big screen T.V, Spa treatments, and hundreds of back-up designer clothes. The other thing I thought of was that the room was going to be a small and dirty space. I had a bad feeling Skye made the Pretty Committee go through so much, just to get a useless and creepy room. Skye's character is very mysterious and unexpected. I had no clue what kind of a secret room she would give to the Pretty Committee.
I just started the next book in the series called Sealed With A Diss. The book began with describing what the room was actually like. Both of my thoughts about the room were right. At first, Skye and her friends made the room look really gross and unapealing. When the Pretty Committee showed that they were greatly disappionted, Skye and her friends cleaned up the room to show how it actually looked like. The room was better than imagined it. It had a starbucks coffee maker, a popcorn machine, a flat screen t.v, and foot massager. If i was going to have access to this room, i would never want to go home. That room has every type of entertainment you could think of. But unfortunelty, the Pretty Committee couldn't have access to the room until next year when they are in 8th grade. Luckily for them, the end of the school ear was only a few months away.

Fourth Blog
I am almost finished with It's Not Easy Being Mean. The key hunt is still going on. All of the girls at OCD are being very secretive and are talking to no one outside of their own group.
Since Claire has been ditching the Pretty Committee for a major movie audition, Massie was fed up. After Alicia, Massie, and Dylan went to Harris Fisher's house and did not the key to the secret room, Massie was furious. To punish Claire, Massie kicked her out of the Pretty Committee. Claire was so upset, but there was an up side. When she was at Layne's house, they felt like bothering Layne's brother, Chris Abeley. While they were in his room, Claire and Layne found something; THE KEY.
This meant that they would be the new alphas of the 8th grade, but neither of them wanted that. In order to get pay back, Layne and Claire decided to make a list of demandments. I thought this was very clever. I know how desperately Claire wanted to be reinstated into the Pretty Committee and I also know how badly Massie wanted to be the 8th grade alpha and have access to the secret room. After 20 minutes of disucssing the terms, Alicia, Dylan, Massie, and Kristen decided to agree with Claire and Layne's terms. All of the girls were happy except for Claire. She wasn't sure if she want to stay in Westchester or move to California for another big movie. If i were in Claire's position, I would choose to stay. I wouldn't want to move to a state across the country and leave all of my friends behind.

Third Blog
I just started the 7th book in the clique series, It's Not Easy Being Mean. The Pretty Committee is back at school from a 3 week expulsion and are ready to take over and dominate the 7th grade again. The only way for the girls to come back was if they all joined a school sport. No one axcept for Kristen was even capable of playing a sport. After discussing, they chose to join the Siren's soccer team, since Kristen was already on it. After a few days of practice, the coach politely kicked the Massie, Alicia, Dylan, and Claire off the team. she said that they were bringing the team down and without them, the Sirens could have a shot at Finals. The coach also promised that she would talk t0 Principle Burns and excuse them from the sports requirement. I thought that it was pretty funny that the coach kicked the Pretty Committee off the team, just before they were about to quit.
The most popular 8th grader, Skye Hamilton, has a huge secret. She and her friends know of this secret room that is hidden on the Octavian Country Day school's property. Skye has given a CD-Rom to a few different cliques. Whoever can find a special key to the room first, is the new "Alpha." Massie, Dylan, Alicia, Kristen, and Claire, a.k.a The Pretty Committee, think they are going to find the key hands down, so they don't even try looking very hard for the key. But when they notice that many of the girls are ahead of them, they start to worry. One of the main rules that Skye mentioned in the CD-Rom was to NOT talk to her about the key or the secret room because it was against the rules. Now Massie is about to go to Skye's house and talk to her about something. I don't know what Massie is going to say, but I hope she doesn't ruin anything for the pretty committee. Massie thinks that she will automatically get the key and doesn't really pay attention to rules. I know that Massie can be sneaky, but i think that Skye will catch on to Massie trying to be friendly with her all of a sudden.

Second Post
I am almost finished with Dial L for Loser. Because Dylan's mother has her own popular talk show, she was connections. Dylan, Alicia, Massie, and Claire get to meet the movie stars that are going to be starring in Dial L for Loser. With all of the drama that goes into movie making, one of the stars backs out, which fills an open position in a world wide movie. Alicia, Massie and Claire get an opportunity, from the director himself, to audition for a role in the movie. I wish I was Claire, Massie, or Alicia. They got to fly to Los Angeles in a private jet, stay in a five star hotel with complimentary designer clothing, and a personal driver. Claire ended up getting the part and I'm glad. She doesn't have as much money as the other girls and doesn't get everything she wants. Claire finally got something that Massie, Alicia, or Dylan can't take away from her.
Of course Massie and Alicia are very jealous, but they dont tell Claire that. Instead, they seek sneaky revenge. As the weeks go on, Massie and Alicia feel distant from Claire. She is always canceling plans or forgetting to even show up. Claire begins to realize that she's letting her real friends down, but is way too sidetracked with her movie friends. I can't imagine forgetting about my best friends for some movie stars I didnt even know that well. What Claire didn't know was that her movie satr friends weren't the kind of people she thought they were. To Claire, Abby Boyd (co-star in the movie) had so much in common and were going to stay friends for a while. To Abby, she and Claire were just MBF's; Movie Best Friends.
