**I told you guys I was typing again!I am trying this new thing out, so that I can post more often, and that is dividing the chapters up. So this is actually just a continuation of last chapter. That also means that there's going to be more than just 30 chapters. Officially, they'll be 30, but here on Wattpad there's gonna be more. I don't know how you guys will feel about that, but if it helps, that means there's going to be more frequent updates. That's a bonus right?Now on to the story!

East Land Prep.

        Monday, October 22. 12:25 P.M.

The news that Kelly's old friends joined the Fabulous Clique spread quickly, but by lunchtime, it had been overshadowed by a rumor saying their dislike for Kelly is the only reason Emma had them joined, as it's no secret that anyone who hates a member of the HotChikas is welcomed in the FC.

"I still can't believe it," Kelly says to Ashley and Angela as they eat lunch. "I mean, I knew they weren't happy with me, but I didn't think they'd go and join the Fabulous Clique."

"That's because you like to see the good in people," Angela says as she brings her pizza to her mouth.

"Don't worry about them Kelly, Ashley says as Kelly's eyes dart to table two, where the Fabulous Clique girls are sitting. "If you show them that those girls joining the FC bother you it gives them power and the worst thing you can do is give your enemy power over you."

Kelly nods, trying to swallow the lump that has formed in her throat as she take in Ashley's words. Her friends are now her enemies.

"So, Ashley," Kelly silently sighs as Angela changes the subject. "How did your date with Louis go?"

"It wasn't a date," Ashley answers as both of her friends look at her expectantly.

"Does he know that?" Angela wonders with a raised eyebrow.

Ashley smiles at Angela, "Of course he does."

"How did the night end anyway?" Angela continues her inquiry. "Did you let him kiss you even though it wasn't a date?"

"Almost," Ashley admits, biting her bottom lip mischievously. "My dad interrupted." Angela bursts out laughing, so loud it causes Kelly to chuckle. "It's not funny. Apparently, I'm grounded."

"But you didn't kiss Louis," Kelly says in surprise.

"Oh, that's not why I'm grounded," Ashley answers. "I'm grounded because my dad doesn't like my attitude, and I might've missed our family diner."

Angela chuckles, "So that's why you said yes to Louis."

"Shhh." Ashley looks around to Kelly. "Don't say it so loud."

Kelly frowns, "I thought you liked Louis."

"I do," Ashley responds, her admittance gaining a wide eye look from Angela. "He just happened to give me an offer I couldn't resist. Albeit, he doesn't know it, but potato, potatoe."

"And you enjoyed yourself?" Kelly asks. "At the date?"

"I had more fun that I would've at the family dinner," Ashley tells her with a shrug. "Louis is a fun guy. And that motorcycle is exhilarating.

The bell signaling the end of lunch goes off and the girls stand up, placing their empty trays at the center of the table to be picked up by the janitors.

Kelly exits the bathroom stall and freezes as she is met by a grinning Tyler Soto.

"Surprise!" Tyler smirks at Kelly who quickly recovers from her surprise and takes a hold of her emotions, leaving herself blank-faced as she walks to one of the five lined sinks. "Aren't you going to congratulate me for joining the Fabulous Clique?" Kelly ignores Tyler as she begins to wash her hands. "Oh wait, that's right, you're in the oh so fantastic group: The HotChikas." Tyler lets out a snort. "Can't believe I wanted to be a member. What a joke." Kelly rolls her eyes, knowing full well Tyler just wants to get a reaction from her. "After all, my knowledge and smarts will be most useful in the FC."

Kelly dries her hands in silence, and then finally turns to Tyler, "Good for you." With that, Kelly turns her back on her raging ex-best friend.

"I'll thread carefully if I were you, Kelly." Kelly focus herself to keep walking, and is not by the least bit surprise to find Franchesca Peeples, Natasha Equil, Isabella Rochelle, and Sandra Diaz leaning against the wall across the restroom.

"I hope you're not too disappointed that I'm not bawling my eyes out." Kelly tells them with a small smile. "Can't say I'm sorry for not living up to your expectations though." Kelly walks away from the four shocked girls and heads back to the newspaper room to finish writing the article based on the first day of Homecoming Week.

Kelly was the only one in the room and although she was expecting it, she still jumps from surprise when Tyler bursts into the room. "You don't get to walk away from me, Kelly."

Kelly carries on typing on the computer, "Actually I get to do whatever I want, I am my own person."

Tyler takes hold of Kelly's rolling char and spins it around so that Kelly is starring at Tyler's pissed off face. "Don't piss me off Kelly, it'll only end badly for you."

Kelly gathers up all her courage, fueled by the anger of Tyler's threat, along with being upset that the person she considered her best friend joined a group like the Fabulous Clique, who have humiliated her on numerous occasions.

Kelly narrows her eyes at Tyler, "Do your worse." She pushes Tyler away from her. "And see who'll end up regretting it." Kelly turns around and begins to save her article.

"Is that a threat?"

Kelly doesn't answer straight away. Instead, she concentrates on logging out of the computer and gathering her belonging. And only when she closes her tote bag, does she turn around to face the still fuming Tyler. "No. That's a promise."

Kelly pushes pass Tyler and her ex-friends, letting out a high sigh of relief the moment she exits the classroom.

**How do you guys feel about this chapter? The 'friends' are back, except this time, I don't know if you guys notice, I labeled them as ex friends. That's because last book we saw Kelly grow and accept that they were never her friends. She of course still has one bit more to over come, before she completely just gets over them. The drama is just starting.
leave your opinions on this chapter below. I really love to hear what you guys have to say and what you guys feel!Thanks for reading,
