and watching her DVDs.

The only thing I've watched

are her chronic bad hair days.

You told Alicia

right after you called Dylan fat.

I never called Dylan fat.

Yes, you did, two nights ago.

No, I didn't, at least not to her face.

Look, I'll prove it. See?

She called me right after, 10:01.

Two nights ago at 10:01,

I was out looking for Bean.

I missed the beginning of The Hills.

But that doesn't make any sense.

Dylan said you IM'd her.

- Well, I didn't.

- Like you don't remember what I told you.

- What you told me when?

- The night after, when we were IM'ing.

When you were mad at me

for no reason?

Which, by the way, was totally selfish...

...considering I waited an hour

for Chris Abeley to show.

- When were you waiting for Chris Abeley?

- Like, until 10:00.

- We were IM'ing before that.

- No, I wasn't!

But maybe someone else was.

JUDI:

Claire, it's for you.

- Hello?

- Hey, Claire, it's Kris.

Hey. Hold on a sec.

Todd, hang up the phone.

I can hear you breathing.

Actually, it's not Todd, it's me.

- Dylan?

- And me.

Oh, hey, Leesh.

Wow, I've never been on a four-way before.

- Fun.

MASSIE:
Actually, it's a five-way.

Fun's over.

We know what you did, Claire.

Hijacking my IM, so not cool.

So here's a little message for you.

Leesh. My mom will freak

if she sees your feet on the counter.

Okay, here.

I'm excited. They're so cute.

Oh, my God.

Okay, ready? One, two, three, go.

Okay.

- Oh, my God.

- What is this?

Oh, my God. Adorable.

I figured they're so much cuter

than lab coats.

Agreed.

Oh, look, it says Glambition.

- I heart this.

- It says our names. Awesome.

Okay, girls.

Where's the bottles, the recipes?

KRISTEN:

Okay. Recipe number one.

Two tablespoons of honey,

three to four drops of peanut oil...

...four ounces of vanilla.

- I need an honest opinion.

- Your butt doesn't look big.

Please, I know.

The day of the auction

is Chris Abeley's birthday.

As his practically girlfriend,

I need to do something really memorable.

I am now opening the floor

to suggestions.

- Oh, I know. You should bake him a cake.

KRISTEN:
What?

My mom always says the best way

to a boy's heart is through his stomach.

No, no.

How about you be in a cake and jump out?

- And jump out. Yeah, that's great.

- Yeah.

- Please, that's ridiculous.

- More than ridiculous.

Ridunkulous.

Yeah, but it would be kind of cool

to wear a cute little outfit or something.

You know, when you jump out.

You know what?

I'm gonna do that and something better.

God, I'm a genius.

Do you have a problem, Stare?

No, my mom wanted to borrow an egg.

An egg? Sure.

Here you go.

Catch.

I am so back.

Hey, what happened?

Claire, wait a minute.

Claire, what's wrong?

CLAIRE:

Leave me alone.

No, Claire. I let it go last time.

Tell me what's wrong.

Everything.

This school, this house,

my clothes, Massie, everything.

She hates me, Mom. She hates me.

She's been making my life miserable

since the day we came.

At first, you know,

I just wanted her to like me.

But then I was just hoping

that she'd stop picking on me.

I tried everything.

And I did some things

I shouldn't have done.

I thought it was the only way.

I thought it was the only way to...

To what?

Oh, Claire, listen to me.

You can't make someone like you.

You're not in charge

of other people's feelings...

...or their actions, just yours.

Maybe some of your actions

weren't so great either.

You wanna tell me what you did?

I can't. You wouldn't understand.

Right, because I was never 12.

Oh, honey.

Whatever you did,

you have to make it right.

But whatever it is, I guarantee you,

it's not as bad as you think.

It's worse.

Be yourself, Claire,

not who people want you to be.

CLAIRE:

Can I sit here?

Listen, Layne, I'm sorry for everything.

For ditching you for the sleepover.

For pretending to be friends with Massie.

I don't know how to explain it,

it's just I wanted to be a part of them.

To be a part of that group.

And the more they excluded me,

the more important it became.

The way people treat them...

...the way that they can have anything

they want whenever they want...

...well, I guess I just wanted that too.

I have no idea

what makes them so special.

They just are.

It's because they believe that they are.

So other people do too.

Even me sometimes.

Can I please have your attention?

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Now, who's ready

for a revolutionary line of cosmetics?

Something that tastes

as good as it looks.

I present to you Glambition.

And now, our esteemed

and ridiculously hot president...

...Kristen Gregory.

"Glambition is a new line

of beauty products...

...made entirely

of all-natural ingredients.

Over the next few weeks...

...we will introduce to you

our entire line...

...of body scrubs...

...creams, glitters and cheek tints.

Today, for the very low price...

...of one for $6 and two for $ 10...

...we are launching

our flavored lip gloss...

...which comes in four flavors:

mint, cherry...

...vanilla and raspberry.

Also known as Dylan, Alicia, Kristen...

...and Massie. "

And you better hurry,

we expect the Massies to sell out real fast.

Oh, sorry, Layne,

we don't sell oatmeal flavor.

I wish she'd swallow her tongue.

It stings.

My lips.

GIRL 1:

Oh, my God.

My lips are burning!

GIRL 2:

Mine too.

My lips are on fire.

It looks like Jenna's lips got a boob job.

This is not funny.

- Yes, it is.

- Yes, it is.

VINCENT:
What's the problem?

- Oh, my God, I need water.

Okay, girls, please settle down.

We need to...

I want my money back.

Oh, my God.

My dad's gonna sue you.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I'm gonna fail. Do something.

Okay, okay.

Is anyone here allergic to peanuts?

GIRL 3:

Me, I am.

They made their makeup with peanuts?

That's the most common allergy ever.

Everyone says they're popular,

no one says they're geniuses.

Layne, your oatmeal. I need it.

Okay.

Everybody, listen up.

I have oatmeal.

We don't need oatmeal. We need help.

Yeah, help us.

Since when do you help the

Pretty Committee?

Since everyone's lips are inflating

to the size of Jessica Simpson's.

This will help.

Here you go.

Take it. I know it's gross, take it.

Thank God.

Thank you so much, Claire.

I don't know what I would've done.

My lips are my best feature.

KRISTEN:

Claire, hey.

I just wanted to say thanks

for saving the day.

Yeah, who would've thought?

Zero to hero,

even if it was just for a few minutes.

Looks like you made some friends.

Look, you don't have to be nice

to me now.

I wasn't going to, it's just...

I'm glad I told you my secret...

...instead of Massie.

Kris, could use your help back here.

After all, you are Glambition's president.

This was all your idea.

KRISTEN:

I guess I'll see you around.

Yeah. See you.

So I'm thinking...

...oatmeal flavor might be a bestseller.

MAN 1:

Yes. Oh, hey, how are you?

It's good to see you. Thanks for coming.

WOMAN:

I'm so sorry.

Oh, beautiful. Great to see you.
