Affiliations

Massie Block is the alpha (leader) and founder of her clique, The Pretty Committee. She has glossy brown hair and amber eyes. She is bossy and stuck-up, and her greatest desire is to be better than most people, but there is a sweeter side to her. Her family is rich because her dad is a successful businessman, so Massie gets everything she wants, though the Block family becomes temporarily bankrupt when her dad loses his job. She loves shopping, and has a large number of designer clothes and credit cards. She has dated Derrington and Landon Crane. Although she acts like she has no flaws, she has an insecure side that she usually only reveals to her black Pug, Bean, and sometimes her friends, mostly Claire Lyons.

Background

Massie lives in Westchester, New York with her father William, a successful businessman, and her mother Kendra, a stay-at-home mom. Massie describes her childhood as lonely until, three years before The Clique when she was 9-10 years old, Massie became best friends with Alicia Rivera, Dylan Marvil, and Kristen Gregory. They began attending Octavian Country Day together, and became the most popular group at the school. Every Friday, Massie hosts a sleepover with her friends at her house.

At some point growing up, Massie's parents began to give her life-size mannequins made with her measurements. She is gifted a new mannequin each year as she grows. Sometime during 6th grade, Massie adopted her black pug, Bean (who also has a mannequin.) Massie also has a tradition of taking evening walks with her father at 8:15 p.m. every day for fifteen minutes, which Bean now joins too.

Appearance

Massie had a shiny brown bob during The Clique but later she grows it out and gets extensions. In Summer Collection: Massie, she gets a purple streak in her hair. Her eyes are amber, and she always wears Glossip Girl lip gloss and her signature gold charm bracelet. She also likes spray tanning and has a "pilates-toned figure".

She is known for setting trends with her designer fashion, and almost never wearing the same outfit twice.

History

The Clique

Massie's plans with her best friends, the self-proclaimed "Pretty Committee", are disrupted by the arrival of the family of one of her father's old friends, the Lyons, who have just moved to Westchester and will be staying in the Blocks' guesthouse until they find a home of their own. Massie immediately cannot stand their daughter Claire and decides to make her life miserable, regarding her clothes disdainfully, seeing her as an LBR who will threaten her alpha status and feeling as if Claire has invaded every aspect of her life, such as her house and school.

After their first meeting, Massie goes to ride her horse, Brownie, at Galwaugh Farms and meets a handsome freshman from Briarwood Academy (OCD's all-boys brother school) named Chris Abeley, who she quickly develops a crush on. They make plans to see each other the following week on the same trail. Massie finds out Chris is the brother of a girl from her grade, Layne, who is an LBR (a self-invented acronym meaning "loser beyond repair") that Massie regularly makes fun of, and a friend of Claire's. She starts secretly making plans with Layne to win over her friendship, thus getting closer to Chris, who is very close to his sister.

With the help of the Pretty Committee, she begins relentlessly bullying Claire at OCD. In revenge and as an attempt to fit in at school, Claire responds by sneaking into Massie's bedroom while she is out and imitating her via IM, ultimately spilling the secret of Massie hanging out with Layne, turning her friends against her and becoming Massie's replacement in the group. This short-lived victory results in Massie finding out the truth by infiltrating a four-way call, and getting her friends back on her side.

After making up, the Pretty Committee helps Kristen think of a company to start for an assignment and decide to sell overpriced, homemade lip gloss. During a field trip, they are all sold out on the bus but end up triggering allergic reactions from many girls who have nut allergies.

At the Blocks' annual benefit auction to raise money for OCD's scholarship fund, Massie discovers that Chris already has a girlfriend named Fawn and immediately claims to lose all interest in him. Extremely drunk, Massie and Claire's fathers begin singing onstage and call for their daughters to join them. Mortified, Claire hides in a patch of azaleas and is unexpectedly joined by Massie. They spend a few hours talking and bonding. Massie tells Claire she had fun. In the day's State of the Union, she puts Claire in both the in and out columns, and finally creates a W.AS. (wait and see) column.

Best Friends for Never

Massie and Claire throw a Halloween party and they both really like a Briarwood boy named Cam Fisher. In the third book Massie finds out that Alicia started her own Clique and discovers Cam likes Claire, not her. While dealing with Alicia, Massie starts liking Derrick Harrington, or Derrington, as the girls secretly call him.
