THE BLOCK ESTATE

MASSIE'S ROOM

Thursday, May 6th

4:48 pm

Massie Block chewed her Glossip Girl glossed lip, a major DHNTB (Disgusting Habit Never to be Done!) but at the moment she didn't care, because she had bigger problems. For the past three days she had been contemplating her current situation and had come up with a solution. She just hoped her four best friends would agree to it. She ignored the pile of homework on her white desk and went straight to her new Pro MacBook.

CLAIREBEAR: what time should we meet Ur house?

MASSIEKUR: six sharp. Tell the girls.

CLAIREBEAR: k. im excited, what is this big meeting about.

MASSIEKUR: i'd tell u but then id have 2 kill u! just be optimistic!

CLAIREBEAR: of course!

Massie smiled happily. She could always count on Claire. She quickly scanned her buddy list but no one else was on. She shut her laptop and stood in front of her mirror. She wore a charcoal gray Rachel Pally pocket shift dress over simple black leggings and black Marc by Marc Jacobs ankle tie booties. Her dark hair fell limply at shoulders and her side bangs wilted at he eyes. She almost cried when she saw herself. She practically screamed drab LBR.

She ran to her vanity and pulled her hair up into a high ponytail and curled the ends, then she skillfully pinned her bangs into a fashionable pouf with bobby pins and hair sprayed her 'do. She touched up her makeup and selected a pair of long, black Victorian swirl earrings.

She changed into a Milly Dot Jacquard Audrey Dress with pale pink Marc by Marc Jacobs satin platform pumps. She rated herself an eight point five, and then added a black Kenneth Jay Lane black flower pearl ring and upped her outfit to a nine.

She was in mourning clothes, which had been required for the past week, but she looked stylish and very Boho chic. She heard a knock on the door and her four best friends stared back at her.

"Go." Alicia Rivera snarled. Massie was only half surprised at Alicia's greeting. She was somewhat responsible for this mess, and one of Alicia's best friends Olivia Ryan was getting pretty tight with their ex crushes. Plus, Josh Hotz still had a thing for Alicia and Massie was preventing her from hooking up with him.

Dylan Marvil, Kristen Gregory, and Claire Lyons followed Alicia, their eyes down to Massie's fluffy white carpet. Massie quickly surveyed her friends. Alicia wore Ralph Lauren blazer over a simple gray Joie thermal over a black So Low skirt and gray lacy leggings. Kristen was carrying a huge bag of books and wore a black Seven jean skirt and a oversized black cable knit sweater. Dylan was wearing a gray cap sleeve shirt under a huge black Alice + Olivia jumper and was munching on a Luna bar. Claire wore a black C&C California Geri dress.

"Chill you guys." Massie said calmly. "Dylan, and especially Claire, I love your outfits! Kristen and Ahhh-Licia it's a little drab. But today we're officially out of mourning." Alicia raised her eyes but kept quiet as Massie gestured to the row of white beanbags set in a circle. Once everyone was seated, Massie began.

"First off let's look on the bright side. We still have the bomb shelter. Granted, ESP didn't exactly work continue to rule OCD, we have to follow some guidelines. We're going to create a new image for TPC." Massie scanned everyone's faces. Everyone but Alicia looked interested.

Massie handed out Lavender colored handouts. "We each are going for our own looks. And we will each follow our own rules. The only rule we all have follow is to STAND OUT. Be different from any other girl. Be confident around guys, be sultry and sexy without being overly slutty."

"This is just another hurdle in our life. Not everything is smooth going, unless we make it that way. Our new life starts in eight grade, but is born now. We start today. Does everyone get it?" Massie said sharply.

"Where'd you get that Massie, your self help book or your mothers?" Alicia snapped. Massie glared at Alicia.

"Shove it." Claire said harshly to Alicia. Alicia giggled at Claire's comeback. Her deep brown eyes burned into Claire's body. Claire glared back.

Massie held up her palm to stop the glare-war. "Enough." Massie silenced. She had had enuff. "Summer is coming and we're all going away. I except by the first day of school we all look ah-mazing and totally hot. We're going for the guys this year girls." Massie spoke with ultra confidence.
