She can be a bit spoiled at times but sometimes she can be a really good friend. She can be paranoid at times like what she eats. She hates eating something with too much sugar or fat. She is the leader of her school so everyone pretty much obeys her.  Claire Lyons- Claire is a girl who isn't as rich like Massie is but she is super nice. She can be very self-conscience and she does try to fit in but she is a really nice friend. She can be clumsy too.
