Chapter 1
High School Begins
The Block Estate
Massie's Bedroom
August 7; 8:22a.m.
Massie Block was getting ready for her first big day as a freshman at High School. Claire was already downstairs waiting for Massie.
"Massie darling! Hurry up!" Mrs. Block said over the intercom. Massie mumbled something under her breath, flipped her hair behind her and shut the door going downstairs to the Range Rover.
"Isaac, pick up the P.C. along with the boys." Massie told the Block's driver.
"Yes, Miss Block." Isaac replied.
As they were going to get Alicia, "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis was playing on the radio. It reminded Claire of Cam. It had been exactly one week since she had last broken up with Cam. She had caught him kissing Alicia at one of the soccer games. She hasn't talked to Alicia or Cam since and she dread seeing them again. Isaac stopped in front of Alicia's house. Claire bit the inside of her lip. Isaac opened the door for Alicia as she walked towards the Range Rover. Claire looked at her for a second and Alicia looked at her. Claire immediately looked away. She couldn't stand to look at her.
On the way to pick up Dylan, it was total silence. Massie could feel the tension rising between the two of them, so she decided to break the silence.
"Is everyone ready for High School?" Massie's voice was shaking as she spoke.
"Are you ready to make-out with my ex-boyfriend?!" Claire screamed as Dylan entered the car.
"Don't worry; they're not talking about you." Massie whispered to Dylan.
After that there was more silence. Massie decided to turn up the radio and not open her mouth again. As she was flipping through the stations "Low" by Flo-rida was playing and she left it on that.
Next to be picked up was Kristen. As they pulled up to the side of the street they noticed a boy standing next to her with his arm around her waist. Isaac once again opened the door and they both slid inside the car.
"Kristen, who is this?" Massie asked.
"Oh, this is my new boyfriend, Ben."
"Hey." Ben said.
"Hey, is the tension still really bad with Claire and Alicia?" Kristen whisper asked. Massie nodded her head a few times. Kristen looked down at the floor. And last but not least they still had the boys to pick up. They were all standing beside each other one more miserable than the last, yet Cam looked the worst of them all. He looked like he hadn't slept in weeks. First Derrick slipped in next to Massie, Matt (Dylan's new boyfriend) slid next to Dylan, Blake (Alicia's new boyfriend) slid next to Alicia and poor Cam was just left there on the sidewalk.
"Cam, we still have room for one more." Massie said sweetly. Cam looked up to see what Claire thought and Claire just stared out the window.
"Cam sit next to her. Don't worry; I'll help you get her back." Massie said as he slid next to Claire.
Massie: did you kiss her or did she kiss you? Because it seems like she would kiss you to make her mad, since I hang out more with Claire now that she lives next to me.
Cam: She did kiss me. Ur right, she told me that was the only reason she kissed me. I tried to tell Claire that but she wouldn't listen. She hasn't responded to my txt's, e-mail's or anything! Please help me get her back!
Massie: Okay, I'll help u as long as Ur telling the truth.
Cam: Thx u so much!
Massie: Okay u need 2 txt her and tell her the truth. Tell her what u told me. Now I'm going 2 txt her first and say some stuff and when I nod my head u txt her, k?
Cam: k
Massie: Claire I've talk 2 Cam.
Claire: And?
Massie: Please just listen 2 him and hear what he has 2 say.
Claire: y?
Massie: Just hear him out.
Claire: k
Massie nods her head and Cam lifts his phone up to start texting her.
Cam: Look Claire, I didn't kiss Alicia. She kissed me and the only reason she kissed me is because that she is jealous of u hanging out w/ Massie more.
Claire: R u telling me the truth?
Cam: nothing but
Claire looks at him for a moment, thinks for a second and realizes that she can't stay mad at him. Once Cam thought it was safe, he gently pulls her into a kiss. Everyone looks up. They can't believe they're eyes!
"Did you make up or something?" Derrick asked.
"Yup." Cam said as he pulled her close to him. Alicia had a look of disgust on her face.
"Well, just in time cause here we are!" Massie said as Isaac opened the door.
They all walked off to the Main Office to get their schedules and locker numbers.

Everyone got their schedule and went off to find their lockers. After they got their books they went off to their first period class.
The next time they met up all together was lunch.
"High school isn't as bad as I thought it would be." Claire said as she sat down.
"Yeah, but I heard all the French foreign language Paris, France!" Cam said.
"Ya, I heard that, too." Claire responded back.
"When are we going?" Massie asked.
"Next week I think."
"Wow, we have to go shopping this weekend!"
After lunch they went to their classes and finally at the end of the day they went to their homeroom classes talked among other people, and then loaded into the Range Rover to go home.
"Well, it's true, we are going to Paris." Massie said.
"Yeah and we can get a hotel room with whoever we want." Cam said looking at Claire.
While every one else was talking Claire and Cam texted.
Cam: So……. Do u want 2 be my partner for Paris?
Claire: Only every day of my life!
Cam: Great! I'll get our reservations tomorrow.
Claire: Great!
"So are we all bunking with our girlfriends?" Blake asked.
"Well duh!" All the girls screamed.
High school had been going great for the girls and the guys and finally the weekend was here! They couldn't wait to leave for two whole months! And this weekend they had to go shopping. Mini skirts, tank tops and soffee shorts galore, baby!
