hey 'yall!!! whats up? OK so i dont know how many ppl actually read this, but i am going to post anyway, in hopes that SOMEBODY will read it... SO i am reading Lisi Harrison's new book, Alpha's, about Skye Hamliton, who is a small character in the clique books! It is all about how she gets excepted to this uber-fantastic school on this Island called The Alpha Island. So ur prolly wondering what the heck "Alpha" is, well here is BASICALLY what it means: obviously, it sounds like the beginning of ALPHA-bet, so it means (sort of) like the best, because it, or the person, is best, and always comes first. Then it ALSO means, that they have confidence, and everybody looks up to them. Now SOME "Alpha's" that u would think of would be the popular people at a school, who are mean, and la de da, but, even though a true alpha CAN be mean, they r not usually, because they have to be a good example for everyone. now, that was MY perception of the word, but here is what the dictionary says: : 1al·pha
Pronunciation: \ˈal-fə\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin, from Greek, of Semitic origin; akin to Hebrew āleph aleph
Date: 13th century

1 : the 1st letter of the Greek alphabet — see alphabet table
2 : something that is first : beginning

Now anyways, Skye goes to the school, and meets other Alphas. Now there is a lot more to the story, so i will try to write more later!
