Massie Block rolled her eyes when she heard the D-word flutter out of Alicia Rivera's mouth. Derrick. Derrick Harrington.
"I know you hate him and all, but Josh would kill me if I didn't invite him! I can't invite all the guys and leave him out!" Alicia pleaded.
"Moving on," Massie added with another eye roll, looking down at the rest of the list on Alicia's counter. It was filled with all of the "elite" people from OCD and Briarwood invited to their New Year's Eve party at Alicia's newly renovated mansion. It was the perfect place for a party and the New Year was right around the corner. Not to mention they were seniors and this year had to be one to remember.
Alicia was happily dating Josh Hotz, Claire and Cam were their usual on-and-off selves, Kristen was always too busy with school and soccer for a boyfriend, Dylan jumped from man to man, and Massie was too heartbroken to date, even though guys flocked to her like it was their job. She would never admit to this, though, and the only thing her friends ever heard was how much she abhorred Derrick Harrington.
No one even really knew why they broke up. They were the perfect couple, the two alphas. But one day in November Massie came home crying to her friends saying it was over. No explanation, no questions. Hearing his name just made her shutter.
"All I know is I need to find something hot. New Year's Eve is when us girls can dress like sluts and it doesn't matter!" Dylan said, attempting to lighten the mood.
"And Halloween," Kristen added.
"And Christmas really," Claire piped in, looking up from her phone.
"Okay, fine, we get it," Dylan cut them off before they went any further, "But you know what I mean."
"I'm thinking a mall trip soon. Retail therapy," Massie chimed in.
"Agreed," her friends added in unison.
Massie picked up the invitation from in front of Alicia and scanned it over. The RSVP part wasn't even necessary. Everyone lucky enough to be invited to this party would be there, no doubt about it. This party would be the talk of both the schools, as usual. Everyone knew that wherever these seniors went, the drama followed.
More to come, this is just a little preview. Feedback would be awesome. (:
