Massie Block is a character from The Clique series of novels. She will be played by Elizabeth McLaughlin in the upcoming film of the same name, which is currently in post-production, and is modeled by Tsarina Merrin.
Family
Massie, an only child, lives in an estate with a swimming pool, multiple cabanas, a tennis court, a stone guesthouse (in which Claire and her family reside), a spa, a gym, a pool, and more. Born and raised in Westchester, New York, this spoiled rich eighth-grade alpha owns an "ah-dorable" black pug named Bean, and a white horse, Brownie. But her real pride and joy comes from ruling her exclusive, private-school clique, who have labeled themselves the "Pretty Committee". Her parents are William and Kendra. Massie also has a driver named Isaac.
Appearance
Massie is described as having glossy, dark brown hair, twinkling amber eyes, and highly glossed lips (courtesy of her daily subscription of Glossip Girl). Her hair style changes throughout the series. In the first book, she has a shoulder length bob, then gets caramel-colored highlights in Best Friends for Never, crimps her hair in Invasion of the Boy Snatchers, receives hair extensions in Dial L For Loser, and bangs in Sealed with a Diss. Later, in Bratfest at Tiffany's (which takes place during the first week of eight grade), she apparently grows out her bangs over the summer, and instead has long hair with a purple streak - which, for once, was not done by Jakkob, but rather by herself with a streaking pen stolen from the pocket of Anastia Brees, creator of Be Pretty cosmetics. In the Clique Summer Collection, we soon discover that the purple streak is a reward given to every Be Pretty salesgirl (her summer job, or "jobby," job hobby, as Massie puts it) topsellers, giving them access to the "5-star lifestyle." Nevertheless, in the New York Times Book Review, Laura Bourdon wrote, "Puh-lease, as Massie Block would say in reference to these insults directed at her so-called extravagant lifestyle."
Love Life
In the first novel, Massie meets Chris Abeley, a fifteen-year-old who goes to Briarwood Academy, while trail-riding at Galwaugh Farms. She crushes on him, while thinking he likes her back. She then finds out he has a girlfriend. In Best Friends for Never, she has a crush on Cam Fisher, an A-list Briarwood soccer player, but finds out that he likes Claire.. Then, in Revenge of the Wannabes, Massie develops a crush on Derrick Harrington (otherwise known as Derrington) after being informed by gossip-expert Alicia that he liked her. In Invasion of the Boy Snatchers, Massie gives him her purple rhinestone "M" pin after the losing game, explaining that it'll serve as his MVP pin - only without V and P. Then in The Pretty Comitee Strikes Back she wants to prove that she can give better boy advice the Alicias cousin Nina Callas so she give kissing lessons called M.U.C.K (Massie's undergound clinoc for Kissing) and tells everyone that she and Derrington lip kissed and when Derrgington finds out about this he disses her in front of all the OCD girls whom participated in M.U.C.K. in the end Massie blames ever thing on them. Then in Dial L for Loser Massie leaves for Hollywood and her relationship is put on hold then in Sealed with a Diss Derrington decides that Massie is spending too much time with Chris Abeley and dumps her so in Bratfest at Tiffany's Massie and the PC go on a boyfast though in the end Massie develops a crush on Lanye's unique friend- Dempsy.
