place or if he was just stringing her along.
    â€œIn a way, this is our own fault,” Coco said. “We haven’t been living up to our own fabulous potential. But that’s all going to change, starting tonight.” She began paging through a magazine, searching for ideas. “When those boys get back to Hillsdale, we are going to look hotter than they’ve ever seen us. They’re going to drop to their knees. And that’s when we’re going to deliver the knee to the face. Boys, get ready to face the dumping squad!”
    Coco raised her champagne flute. The other girls followed suit. “This is it, girls. New year, new you, new boys!”
    â€œNew year, new you, new boys!” echoed Whitney, Cecily, Sasha and Haley. They all clinked glasses.
    Coco pointed them all to an article called “The Ultimate Detox.” “I’m going to start with this,” she announced. “Starting tomorrow I’m on a ten-day juice cleanse. It’s the perfect new beginning. I’ll purge myself of toxins—including the toxic bachelor Spencer Eton—and lose a quick few diet-starter pounds in the bargain. It’s win-win. Who’s with me?”
    Sasha took the magazine and read about the benefits of the cleanse. “‘Follow this regime to the letter and you’ll have more energy than you ever thought possible, skin like a newborn baby’s, brighter eyes, a stronger immune system, greater mental clarity, increased self-confidence and, on top of everything else, the pounds will just fall away.’ Sounds almost like magic.”
    â€œI know,” said Coco. “And it’s going to change our lives.”

    New year, new you … it’s a natural way to feel on January 1. But isn’t Coco taking this spirit to the extreme? Maybe that’s the only option when your boyfriend has just been caught snuggling with supermodels in the Caribbean. If you’re going to make a change, why not go all the way?
    But will Haley decide to go along with this extreme regime? And if so, how far will she take it?
    There’s a big question looming here: why was Haley invited to join this little dinner party so late in the game? The most powerful clique at Hillsdale High—the Coco-Whitney-Sasha triumvirate—has officially reunited, taking Cecily Watson as its chosen mascot. So if three is a crowd, and four is a nice round number, what’s five? Now that the Cocopuffs are back together and have adopted Cecily, will there be room in the power circle for Haley to take a seat?
    The one thing Coco demands from her acolytes is that they conform to her sense of fabulousness. Haley can do that if she tries hard enough. The question is, does she want to? What does she have to gain, and what does she have to lose?
    If you think Haley had better try harder to fit in with Coco’s crowd before Cecily edges her out, turn to, THE COCO CLEANSE .
    When you throw in your lot with Coco, it’s all or nothing. If you don’t do things Coco’s way, first she gets mad and then she gets even. If you think Haley isn’t so sure about the crazy fad diets and bizarre skin care rituals—which might not be the healthiest path to take, especially given Coco’s history of extreme control issues—have Haley approach EVERYTHING IN MODERATION . She’ll risk losing her place in the Hillsdale pecking order, but she has to ask herself if popularity is worth the high price .
    Coco may be the most powerful girl at Hillsdale High, but she’s not the only game in town. Alex Martin is interning at the governor’s mansion, and that comes with a power of its own—power that goes way beyond the machinations of Hillsdale High. The fact that Alex is smart enough to land a plum internship with Mrs. Eton is impressive, and the inaugural ball is sure to be the social event of the season whether Coco De Clerq is in attendance or not. Besides, Alex does have
