I luvvvvv the Clique!!! I always say ehmegawd now!!! haha its like a habit. its my fav word!!! I heart it, or, I heart that! like alicia. I would say im mostly like alicia. Im shallow sometimes, and im mostly a follower. But these are my fav books eva!!!!
ehmehgawd i heart the clique! i am like alicia! im in the 7th and im the beta of my clique! but i would never try to start my own like alicia tried to do w/ fauzliviaaa in revenge of the wannabes!
One thing you forgot was Kuh-laire, which is Claire.
Ehmagawd i totally agree with Kenz, you should do the Clique burns!!!
i think point acutally means “Duh, thats the point!” instead of yes, i agree.
I’m the alpha of minee..
ugh my ex-bestfriend is a toh-tal LBR.
ehmagawd, she is sooo off my topic.
she is like faux-livia. and is SUPER dumb, and a Fake.
i like -heart- the clique!
