Maddie-

I sat in my seat and the bell rang loudly. No more school.

We were planning a plan to ruin Kendall and her friends. I hated them so much for hurting Paige and trying to one up us.

Our plan was to pick an insider. Perhaps one of the weaker links; that girl Kalani was always being pushed around by them. If we could figure out some of their secrets from a weak link we could expose them.

That's all I thought about all day long.
But now it was time to go home, thank god. I hopped out of my seat and pushed through the crowds until I found Paige and Chloe standing by their lockers.

"I have a plan." I blurted.

They turned and smiled.

"What do you have for us?" Chloe asked.

I told them my plan and they seemed to want to go along with it. We decided to start tomorrow. Kalani wasn't at school today so that was perfect because she wouldn't know what was going on. We would try to make friends with her a little bit, fake of course. I was so psyched for this.

Walking outside with my two best friends we ignored all of the goodbyes and waves from the nobodies.

"Text me later." I said waving to them as I spotted my mom's car. "We will meet up at Paige's house at 5 to talk."

"Sounds good. See ya." Paige said as Chloe waved.

I walked to my mom's car and opened the front door. Mom was talking on Bluetooth, like always. Kenzie was in the back on her phone with her earbuds. Mom didn't even acknowledge that I had entered the car. She just put her foot on the has pedal and drove off of the hell campus. Pulling out my phone, I pulled a loose strand of my hair behind my ear and checked Instagram. I thought for a moment and hit the search button.

My thumbs hit the keys to type out kalani.
Sure enough the first result popped up saying kalani_h.

I clicked it and the public profile of Kalani popped up. She had 782 followers. I hesitated for a second and tapped the follow button. I put her photos on browse mode and I looked through her pictures. They were of her and her swim team, her mom, selfies, and beach pictures of her, Kendall and Nia.

I decided to go on twitter and I looked for Kalani there too. Sure enough, kalani_h popped up again. In her description, she mentioned her kik. I opened mine and sent her a message.

I opened my texts and texted Chloe and Paige.

'Just kiked Kalani. She doesn't suspect a thing. '

Chloe responded the quickest. 'How'd you find her? '

'Her name is Kalani... Name one other person you know named that.'

Just then the banner came down indicating Kalani's reply.

'omg I think you have the wrong person...no super popular, gorgeous, girl would want to talk to me. '

She was right about one thing. Two actually. I was super popular and gorgeous, and I didn't want to talk to her. But it was worth it.
My fingers did a little dance over the keypad again and I came up with a good response.

'nope I want to talk to you. I've seen you around school. You're being used as the servant for that super wannabe group with Kendall and Nia. You want to be noticed? Sit with us tomorrow. You're pretty. You've got a sense of style. You can be one of us if we think you're worth it'

I screenshotted it and sent it to Chloe and Paige. As we turned into my driveway my mom finally got done speaking on the phone.

"Alright. See you soon Mrs. Jones." Mom said as she hung up the car Bluetooth.
