Massie's Bedroom

Saturday, May 5th

3:30 PM

"Massie, can you come downstairs?" Kendra Block's voice rang through the white speaker on Massie's nighstand next to her docked iPhone. Massie had been sitting on her bed, listening to Katy Perry's latest song on her iPhone while she stroked Bean and daydreamed about Landon. She had been sitting there for about 2 hours now, after getting home from the mall with the Pretty Committee. She docked her iPhone on her nightstand and set up all her play lists to play right after another. She wasn't even halfway done yet, but she was on her and Landon's wedding so far.

Massie rolled her eyes, suddenly jerked out of her daydream and back into reality. She stretched her arms above her head, and then quickly swept her wavy brown hair into a high ponytail. The hot May sun beamed through her big picture window in her room and went straight through her white cotton tank top and blue and white striped short shorts. "Yes, Mom," she said, pushing a button and speaking through the white speaker before she turned around, running out of her room and down the stairs.

"Yeah?" she asked, coming into the living room, where her mother was stretching, following the exercises shown on the exercise video that was playing on the huge flat screen plasma TV in the Block's huge, spacious living room.

Kendra stood up, reaching for the remote and clicking the TV off. "Me and your father want to have a talk with you," Kendra sternly told Massie.

"What'd I do?" Massie asked, her heart racing. Did her mother find out about that D she got on her Geography test last week?

"You didn't do anything," Kendra told her. "Just have a seat at the dining room table."

Massie took a seat. William came and sat too, next to Kendra.

"As you know, we've been having some money problems lately," Kendra said. Massie rolled her eyes. Of course she knew about their money problems. However, when she told the Pretty Committee they were very understanding. They all gave her a lot of support and Alicia and Dylan did the same thing that Massie did for Claire and Kristen when she found out Kristen was poor, and gave her tons of money to buy her lunch, movie tickets, glittery school supplies, and tons of designer clothes. She knew that she would never be able to be the same old Massie Block again if she was forced to wear clothes from Target and wear the same outfit more than twice. Ew!

"Well, your father got a job offer in California. You'll be able to regain your old, fabulous life if your father accepts this job offer."

Massie stood up, her head throbbing. "Is this a joke?" she cried. "Just so you know, if it is a joke, I don't think it's very funny. It's May 5th, NAWT April 1st."

"Massie, it's not a joke," William quietly replied.

"I can't leave OCD, I can't leave Westchester, I can't leave the Pretty Committee! I like my life here, I don't care if we have to move into a smaller house, just as long as we stay in Westchester!"

"Massie, we can't do that."

"I hate you!" Massie shouted. "I hate both of you!" She then whipped around and ran, sobbing, upstairs.

Sorry it was really short, but it was the prologue! The next chapter will be longer. Please read and review!
