The ~Clique: Next Generation - Prequel
So, with simsecrets this week being bombarded with secrets regarding the ~clique this week, one of them inspired me to start a new project. This new project is called The ~Clique: Next Generation. Me and the secret maker have been discussing plans about this project and I decided to go ahead and make it.
I am aiming to tell this like a story, so it'll be as real to life as possible. I hope to keep this updated regularly, but with school and my legacy that could be difficult.
Just a quick warning that there could be adult content included in these stories, i.e. swearing etc.
Without further ado, here's the prequel to this story.
-----
She ran through the forest, scanning for someone familiar. She knew they were here somewhere, but she just couldn't find them. The light was quickly fading and she feared of being stuck in this forest for the night.
She suddenly heard a scream from close by.
"Gem!" she heard someone shout and she quickly ran towards the group of people to her right. She threw herself at the nearest person and she hugged them tightly as she caught her breath.
"We thought they'd got you!" the girl whispered.
"No, I lost them about halfway here" Gem replied.
"What took you so long?" One of the people sitting down asked. "Even Rissa made it here before you!"
"I get held up for a while back at home, they nearly got me and it took me a while to sneak away"
"What do we do next?" someone asked.
"We have to lay low for a while" the blonde girl sitting down said. "The community is really pissed at us for clogging up simsecret that we really need to hide for a while."
The others nodded in agreement with her, all muttering between themselves.
"Where do we go though?" the blonde boy said. "We can't exactly set up a group camp in the forest."
"There are plenty of places we can live around this area. We just need to find somewhere that everyone likes."
"So we just stay hidden for a little while until it all calms down and then we go back home" the girl named Rissa asked.
"That's the plan" the blonde girl, who was named June, responded.
"W... What if it never calms down" one girl asked.
The others laughed. "Of course it'll calm down" June said. "It's a silly thing to be mad at in the first place, they can't stay this mad forever.
"We didn't think they'd get this mad in the first place" the girl muttered.
"I didn't even get to say goodbye" the girl named Rosanna murmured glumly.
"Don't worry!" One of the others replied. "You'll see them again soon and it'll be ok!"
"So, when are we going to look for a place to stay?" the girl who was cradling one of the boys asked.
"As soon as everyone's ready" June replied. "We don't want to be left out in the forest tonight"
"It'd be extremely hard to find shelter in these woods, and then we'd have to avoid the bears" Jules, who everyone thought was asleep, called out.
Everyone exchanged worried looks before gathering up their things and beginning to leave the forest.

They eventually got married, and like their friends, had children, Simba, Zachariah and Ellen.

All families are different, whether they are old or young, big or small, but one thing they all do is hide things. Some hide their pain or sorrow. Some hide their jealousy or hatred. All families hide the truth, whether it is a husband lying to a wife or a daughter lying to her mother. All families have lies hidden in their lives, whether they like it or not.
For the outside, a person can look perfect ....
... but on the inside, that might not be the case.
