The Clique

Chapter 1

Sasha's POV

Finally! The end of Year 8. I've literally been waiting for this to happen all year, but at the same time I don't want it to, because Year 9 is usually the year where change happens, and from all the stories I've seen, it doesn't end up well mist if the time, because puberty is the worst thing a teenager can go through, especially.... teenage years.

"So, what are the plans for the summer holidays?"

"I know! We could go to my house and have a sleepover, but just for a week. Then we can go shopping in town!"

"Definitely. I'd be up to do that, honestly. Angelica, what do you think?"

"Hm? Yeah, whatever. As long as I get my hands on that sexy tankini, I love the shops near your place."

"Oh yeah! We need new bikinis and tankinis, because we promised Mason and Alex we'd go to the beach with them. But he only invited Me, Angelica and Katie. Sorry girls, but I did get a text from Tony and Michael that they'd come over to your place and visit."

"No fucking way! Maybe when he comes over, I should confess to him. He does have a crush on me, to be fair."

Us and the guys were friends since Year 3, and to be honest, we couldn't ask for more from them. They were practically our best friends, except for Michael, he was going to confess to Angelica when he came over, and to be honest.. I hope it goes well. They would make the cutest couple ever! Anyways, it was the end of lunch, so I needed to get my butt to 5th period before the teacher screamed at me for how incorrect my uniform looked and so I wouldn't be late again. The last time I ended up late, they took my phone, magazines and my computer! I cant possibly afford to be late again.

"Bye Sasha, meet us at the gate at 2:50!"

"Alright, we going out shopping again?"

"Yeah, so don't be late now!"

Yeah, last time I was late, I know how that went... they all started screaming at me and it was sooo stupid. And it wasn't even my fault! My maths teacher held me back just to ask me about something related to after school clubs, so how was I the one to blame?! It makes zero sense. Anyways, we did the same things we would do every holiday, they would sleep over at my beach house for a few days or a week, then we'd go shopping or park with the guys. Sometimes, we did study sessions because of our holiday homework we were given and for the friends that failed those mid - end of year test.
We were all good friends to each other, and vowed that nothing could ever come between our friendship.

"Hey girl! Finally didn't get held back, huh?"

"Nope. Let's go! I heard that there's a sale going on at M.A.C."

"I need those jelly lipglosses, let's go!"

We all loved each other, and had the best thing a world could ask for. A friendship that isn't toxic and a big friend group that would never betray one another.
Everything we did, had never had anybody left out unless it was something specifically for those people in our group. It was like we were one big family, and we were all sisters.

We all had different tastes in things. I loved listening to music and drawing. But the one thing we could always agree on was clothing sales at shops. It was like we had just been welcomed us to something beautiful. To us, sales were beautiful because some of us liked when the good clothes were on sale and some of us don't get much money, but we make it work.
Okay, enough chit chatting about the group, let me explain how our holidays went.
So we had the sleepover, and it turns out when Michael came over, he did confess! And you won't believe what happened next.... yeah, she confessed to, and now Angelica and Michael are together! They're such a cute couple, I could never get bored of them. Ever.

"Hey guys! So... as you may know... me and Michael are together! I'm so happy!"

"Congrats girl! It took you wayyy too long to tell him how you truly felt, because we all knew it. For ages."

"Yeah, if it took you 4 years, then I don't wanna know how long it's gonna take me."

It'd take me a month. A freaking month. Do you think I'm gonna wait for soo long, that would be enough time for somebody to swoop in and take that chance, and then boom! Your whole confession's crumbled to dust.

But... I did find myself my own love.
Me and Maggie found two separate boys when we were on the beach, and O.M.G!! They were smoking hot! We got their numbers and I was texting the guy I met nonstop, his name's Lancey, and he's the cutest guy I had ever set my eyes on. I was planning to confess to him soon, because it's been a month since we became friends and he was too cute for me not to confess to him!

We went on major shopping sprees because Melanie was being a bit too generous and just spent all her money on us, she loves acting like a sugar daddy, it's actually so funny.
Oh, and Dalia and Katie made up this dance as an attempt to try and convince my mother to let them stay longer, but it didn't work. Clearly, she was tired of all these kids having sleepovers at her house almost constantly, because it made my room more dirty.

We had the best holiday out of all the ones we had before, and I'll be honest, I loved it. We were having so much fun with each other, and nothing could truly break this bond we had, it was like a special connection.
Well... until after the summer holidays.

Year 9 came, and that was the worst year of our lives. So much had started happening, and we don't know how at the end of the year... one of us ended up in... an interesting place.
