   • A popular girl usually has people to sit with at lunch.
   • Popular girls have side bags and little purses.
   • Popular girls normally have braces in 4th or 5th grade, so then when they go to middle school there teeth are all straight.
   • Popular girls don't always wear makeup. Some do wear makeup, but it's sometimes impossible to tell, unless it's lip gloss and eye shadow.
   • Popular girls don't have to wear jewelry. Though some popular girls wear earrings. Some popular girls wear necklaces.
   • Popular girls are usually never overweight! Don't worry, though; Dylan is always working on her diet. They are clean-looking, and totally hate when they get stains on their clothes!
   • Popular girls can wear sneakers, Uggs, pumps ( ballet flats) and heels. Sandals aren't really considered a shoe...only if they're stylish.
   • Popular girls always have a phone or an iPod touch (since you can text and call if you have 4th generation, but only if you have Wi-Fi) so then they can keep in touch with their friends.
   • Popular girls in Middle School or late Elementary School normally have emails (mostly gmail so they could use Buzz, something a little bit like Facebook), skype accounts, and sometimes Facebook accounts! Normally all popular girls in late Middle School or High School will have a Facebook and Twitter.
   • Popular girls can have bangs/no bangs. Either way, they can be popular.

   Become friends with a popular girl:
   • First, you never copy them! They will know what's up, and people will think that you are a LBR and will hate you for it.
   • Walk up to the girl and give her a compliment. Then, ask them a question, or start a conversation with them! It works perfectly.

   Determine what kind of 'Clique' girl you are:
   • Massie is a leader. She is the alpha that rules the school. She has wavy, chestnut brown hair with caramel highlights (slightly long, chest-length), amber eyes and slightly tan skin. She is most likely to be a fashion planner when she grows up. She is straight-forward and witty. She likes to stay in charge and can make any outfit work. Massie loves to show off, whether it's her new Prada or even her trusty sidekick pug Bean! She tries her hardest to stay beautiful, poised, and chic. She loves to show off and has no problem to humiliate you to get what she wants. She has the funniest and wittiest disses ever, and she even humiliates her clique sometimes when she feels threatened, but they always remain friends.
   • Alicia is a beta, Massie's best friend and second-in-command! She is a huge gossiper and too gorgeous for words, even prettier then Massie, who is known for her beauty. She wears designer clothes and has an attitude that's GREAT for parties. She has long, straight black hair and big brown eyes. She is half-Spanish, so she has naturally tan skin. Alica wants to be a news reporter. She is the most beautiful girl in school and loves Ralph Lauren!
   • Kristen is the brainiac-slash-sporty girl of the group. She lives at Brickview Apts. because she is too poor to afford a nice place to live, and has a scholarship at OCD. She is very athletic, and is the captain of the OCD soccer team. She has straight, dirty-blond hair that goes to her her mid back and sea-blue eyes. She generally takes designer hand-me-downs from the PC, and otherwise shops at places like H&M.
   • Dylan is constantly worried about her weight and is always on a diet, though she never sticks to it. She's been on all-bran diets, circle diets, zone diets, you name it! Dylan's not really fat though, just a little. She likes to eat and constantly burps, jokes, and makes burp jokes. She has green eyes and fiery red mid-back ringlets, although it was permanently straightened in later books. Pick one that has an important, famous, or influential heritage/family, as her mother is Merri-Lee Marvil, the famous talk-show host of The Daily Grind.
   • Claire is the newest member of The Pretty Committee, and quite naive, though she gets less naive throughout the series. She is sweet and hates doing sneaky things, but she does them anyway to make Massie happy. She has long (chest-length), blonde hair with bowl-cut bangs. She tries to grow out her bangs, but they never grow fast enough! Claire was very unfashionable and an outsider at first. The Clique hated her, but she was staying at Massie's guesthouse since their parents had been college friends. Claire arrived in 2-seasons-ago Gap OVERALLS, so Massie pretty much hated her right away! However, by the third book, they start to become friends, and Claire ends up living in their guesthouse. Claire gets tons of Massie's designer hand-me-downs (mostly Massie's though, and not so much of the other PC members), so she becomes more fashionable.

   Wear make-up, but not too much. All you need is some bronzer, a bit of mascara, and lip gloss. Lip gloss is the major thing. Lip gloss is a necessity! Massie is constantly applying lip gloss. Massie gets a daily delivery of "Glossip Girl," which is not real, but she also uses Lancome Paris Juicy Tubes! The high-quality type of lip gloss is better, the kind with applicators, lip liners, and lip plumpers, but it doesnt matter, really. Pretty much any make-up you find at Sephora is a-okay!!
5. 5
   Get great clothes. Alica loves Ralph Lauren, and Massie loves pretty much all designer brands (except ones that slaughter animals for leather, fur, etc) like the ones mentioned in the books, but not everyone can get these clothes. There are plenty of things you can do to make a great outfit while keeping within a budget. Have at least 5 designer purses, 3 Juicy Couture tracksuit jackets, and some designer clothing items (1 pair of designer jeans, a few designer jackets, and a few designer shirts, at least. Oh, and ALL of your shoes MUST be designer. Some Coach shoes can actually be pretty cheap when they go on sale. And you need Juicy Couture sneakers, Uggs, and heels from other major shoe designers like Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, etc), though. For the rest of your wardrobe, you can go to Abercrombie, A&F, Hollister, Aeropostale, American Eagle, PacSun, Forever21, and Charlotte Russe! Do NOT go to P.S. Aeropostale or Justice/Limited Too if you are 12 and up unless you're anywhere between 6-10. Whenever you shop, always pick up some accessories- headbands, purses, scarves, belts, you name it! Great accessories make a put together Clique-y outfit.

   Choose a healthier way of being 'weight conscious'. The girls in the Clique books obsess over diets and weight, but in reality this is not healthy. As a general rule, don't eat if you aren't hungry, but eat something low in fat if you are hungry. Exercise as often as you can (try joining a sports team at school) and always try to pick a health diet of natural, organic, unprocessed foods and raw fruits and vegetables. If you really want to lose weight, just steer clear from oily pizza, fattening ice cream, chips, pasta, and breads. Eat plenty of yummy yet healthy snacks like carrot sticks, baked potatoes (no sour cream), and fruit. Don't deprive yourself of meals - this will slow down your metabolism.

   Take care of your hair. Glossy tresses will always be IN! here are a few tips for keeping your locks in peak condition: rinse with cold water. This will make your hair shinier and stronger. Use a clarifying shampoo once a week this will remove dirt and build-up. DON'T wash everyday! Every other day or so will be good. Doing it everyday will remove your natural shine and dry out your hair.
8. 8
   Have good comebacks. Sometimes your beta (second command to you) isn't always around to fight your battles. Make sure you have a few clever remarks to shoot.
9. 9
   Say things slowly so people understand you.
10. 10
    It's better to be nice to anyone outside of the clique, unlike Massie. You'd gain more friends, and more people would respect you instead of worship you.
