At the start of the school year, Jane and her friend Alicia would love to hate the three popular girls but just can't. Despite the fact that they are the elite of cliques (mathematics) clique - A maximal totally connected subgraph. Given a graph with nodes N, a clique C is a subset of N where every node in C is directly connected to every other node in C (i.e. C is totally connected), and C contains all such nodes (C is maximal). In other words, a clique contains all, and only, those nodes which are directly connected to all other nodes in the clique., they are also genuinely beloved by students and teachers alike. But what soon becomes clear is that there is nothing genuine about them; in fact there is something almost supernatural about their ability to find themselves the center of attention.

Bitsy, one of the chosen four, has decided to confront Camilla, a classmate who is constantly being ridiculed. Jane does what she believes to be the right thing, but finds out that neither Bitsy nor Camilla appreciates the intervention.
