BOCD's Front Lawn
Tuesday September 22nd
7:25 am
Massie Block sat under their oak tree surrounded by The Pretty Committee (PC), otherwise known as her and her best friends Alicia, Dylan, Claire, and Kristen. The warm mourning sun kissed her tanned skin and freshly highlighted hair.
"First day back in the MB (main building), outfit check!" Massie instructed. And automatically all the girls stood up and examined each others' outfits. Massie checked her new I phone for the time. 7:30, time to get into the cafeteria for mourning announcements. They strutted into the school walking to the beat of the Pussycat Dolls' When I Grow Up. Naturally Massie claimed table 18 like a King returning to his kingdom.
"Leesh don't you have to go do announcements?" Dylan asked.
"No, Principal Burns told me that she was doing them today." Massie heard them talking but wasn't really listening. She was still basking in the glory of being back on top once again.
"I can't believe Principal Burns let this happen!" Derrick exclaimed. "There's no way I am taking classes in a tiffany box!"
"Its not completely bad." Josh replied.
"You're just saying that because you don't want to believe that Alicia would do something like this!" Plovert pointed out.
"Its not her fault she just reads the announcements she doesn't made them."
"Yeah, and its impossible that Massie didn't put her up to it to get back at us?!" Derrick said angrily.
"Whining about this isn't gonna change anything and Derrick we know you miss Massie!" Cam said slamming his "suitcase locker" with extreme force.
"Cam, just cuz your mad at yourself about you messin' up with Claire doesn't mean you should take it out on us!" Chris replied.
"Students you will be having announcements in the cafeteria. Report there Right away." Principal Burns said quickly turning out the door without missing a beat. The guys all gave each other questionable looks but followed along with all the other overflow students.
Massie stood up looking for her new hawt boyfriend Dempsey (and also slightly fixing her new mini skirt) when two muscular tan arms wrapped themselves around her waist; slightly taking her breath away with shock. Massie quickly recovered and spun around to give him a quick kiss on the lips. He smiled at her and returned with a "Hey babe". Just then Principal Burns walked in, the overflow students right behind her. Alicia noticed Josh and upturned her pink Yankees hat with a flirting and smile and wink. Seeing her made his whole face brighten. The rest of the PC noticed the boys two. Claire and Cam locked eyes but she quickly turned away; he wanted her back after messing up and dating Ew-livia. Claire missed him too, but couldn't stand the idea of having him do something like that to her again. Dylan looked down and stopped eating the breakfast granola bar. Kemp and Plovert had just stopped sending her pig pictures and she'd lost the 10 pounds she gained over the summer with her fierce tennis hawtie boyfriend, but still couldn't stand them. Massie glared at Derrick (otherwise known in the PC as Derrington) he was wearing new denim jeans and Massie couldn't help but notice how hawt he looked. Principle Burns cleared her throat and Dempsey sat down on the last chair at the rounded table. Massie quickly averted her gaze before Derrington could notice and sat on Dempsey's lap.
"Derrington's gotta be jealous of me and Dempsey. I mean how cute are we?!" Massie thought silently to her self. And she was right. Derrington's arms prickled with jealousy. He couldn't understand it but he missed her. Ever since the beginning of eight grade Massie and him were at World War 3 and enjoyed the attention from her more than anything. But what he didn't know was that Massie was missing him too. Just she couldn't recognize exactly what she was feeling. I mean he basically de-throned her and humiliated her. She wasn't supposed to like him, and she had Dempsey who was just as good. Right?
"Eh-Hem" Principle Burns cleared her voice once again silencing the students. "I have very good news to announce. Now while all of you were relaxing on your long weekend BOCD was having very talented construction workers building on to your school!"
"WHAT?! Construction workers! There is NO-WAY…" Massie thought to herself with a confused look on her face. Alicia noticed the way Massie was looking and looked down. She knew exactly what Principle Burns was about to say, and it wasn't going to make Massie happy.
"And now," Principle Burns continued, "I'd to welcome back the students that were going to attend overflow trailers! With great amount of kind donations from parents we were able to hire the best construction crew to build BOCD's knew East Wing. All 7th graders will be attending classes in the east wing and some may receive knew lockers. And since we had such a great crew all students will be returned to the Main Building by tomorrow!" The ex-crushes began to scream and cheer along with some other people, but Massie's face only showed anger. They couldn't do this for me but now that I am finally happy they bring them back! Alicia's phone vibrated along with the other members of the pretty committee's.
Massie- Principal Burns is d2m (dead to me) x100.
Dylan- Same! Y cudnt they do this 4 us?!
Claire- xea!
Claire- oops! Meant Yea.
Alicia- Ik totally unfair should sue!
Alicia had known this was going to happen way ahead of time. She wasn't the only family to donate but she knew her family had by far donated the most. But seriously could you blame her? She really couldn't stand the idea of not being with Josh. Being separated would put way too much stress with they're relationship and Massie and Derrington fighting all the time wasn't help either. It was the only thing she could do. But if Massie ever found out she would be kicked out of the PC forever and she knew that too well.
Massie- Kristen U there?
All four girls look up at Kristen. She was reviewing her homework deep in thought about something else. She noticed the attention being completely at her and quickly checked her phone.
Kristin- Sry watd I miss?
Massie- overflow bk in MB tomorrow! Hullo. Major crisis!
Kristin- oh okay.
Massie shot Kristin a what's-wrong-with-you look as Principle Burns finished up reading the announcements. Derrington passed table 18 on his way out after picking up his knew schedule from Principle Burns. He shot her a cocky smile and laughed out the door. Alicia smiled winked at Josh as he passed. Massie's phone vibrated in her channel bag.
Derrick- C U 2morro Block
Massie's skin burned with anger of this unfair-ness and… happiness? Could it be that Massie was looking forward to having Derrington in her classes again?
BOCD Clair's Bio Class
Tuesday September 22nd
1:54 pm
Claire was fighting to stay awake in her Bio class. Her only class that she was alone without any of her friends with her. Her teacher was droning on and on about something about plants. Her phone vibrated filling her with hope that someone was taking mercy on her and texting her to keep her awake!
Cam- so now were gonna b in MB 2gether.
Cam had asked her to take him back but she still had no idea what to do. She was way to mad to be texting him. And for him to act like he did nuh-thing! Bzz, her phone vibrated again.
Cam- Claire I'm really sry! Plz 4give me I was dumb to date O
"At least he knows he did something wrong," Clair thought.
Claire- I dunno. I have to think bout it.
Cam- C I'm sorry. I miss u
Cam- What can I do 2 prove it?
Cam- Friday nite?
She really had missed Cam too. And if he was ready to prove it she could forgive him again. After all, it's just one date… But Friday nights are Massie's sleepovers! Claire quickly texted Massie in math.
Claire- Cam asked me out Fri. nite to prove he's sry. Can I b late to sleepover??
A few seconds pass and her reply appeared.
Massie- Yup, me n Demp R going out 2 eat.
Yes! Clair cheered inside her head. She replied to Cam with an improved mood.
Claire- Sure, What time?
Cam- Pick U up at 6 :)
Massie was happy for Claire. Finally everything was working out; Claire and Cam, Josh and Alicia, and her and Derr-Dempsey. She corrected herself. Massie had just texted the rest of the PC to tell them not to come to the sleepover 'till 9. Massie & Dempsey… They were ah-dorable together. But then why did she always feel like he was missing something? Something that Darrington had.
"Miss. Block would you kindly return your attention back to the board?" Her obnoxious math teacher said.
"Watevs." She said brushing away his rude comment. It's nawt like he has anything important to say.
Bzz, Alicia's phone sang in her Juicy bag.
Massie- C & Me hav dates sleepover 9
Perf. Alicia could go out with Josh now! Wait Claire has a date? Does that mean that her and Cam are together again? Hmm…
Alicia- U & C together again?
Claire- not 4 sur he's proving himself fri nite.

"There's no way I'm gonna be alone 'till 9," Alicia thought.
Alicia- hey babe!

Josh- Same. Were gonna hav almost the same schedule!
Alicia- yay! Btw can you do something Fri. nite?
Josh- no :( going outa town w/ rents

Dylan- Ah-greed
Massie- Hmm…
Overflow Classes
Tuesday September 22nd
2:04 pm
"56 minutes." Derrick thought to himself. He was counting down the minutes 'till he got to get out of these awful overflow trailers, forever. He'd be attending classes with Massie again, and by the look of his schedule he had all of his classes with her. Lately he couldn't get Massie out of his mind. He looked over at Josh and Cam, his two best friends, both of them were texting. By the look on his face he and Claire were working stuff out. Bzz, his cell vibrated.
Plovert: Giant party at my house!!
Cam: When?
Plovert: Fri. Nite
Josh: I'm going outa town… I'll try to convince rents.
Cam: Me & Claire R going out that nite.
Plovert: Have your date there! Its gonna awesome!
Cam: I'll ask her.
Derrick: I'm there!
Chris: Same
Derrick: who's going?
Plovert: Anybody who's anybody ;)
Josh: took a lot of convincing but rents R letting me & bro stay home. He needs to study or something.
Plovert: good.
Josh: Alicia asked me to do stuff Fri. first tho.
Plovert: U 2 cum 2gether.
Josh: I'll ask her.
"Time to make Massie jealous," Derrick thought. After all, alls fair in love and war, right?
Plovert: This is gonna b awesome! Like 150 people R going!
"Perfect," Thought Derrick.
Massie's phone vibrated again.
Plovert: Party my house Fri U & PC cumin?
Massie: Yup.
Plovert: Gr8
"hah time to show Derrington what he's missing" Massie smiled to herself.
Massie- Hey Plovert's having hee-uge party. Do that instead?
Dempsey- Sure meet you there.
Massie- Perf.
"Now for the PC to change their plans." Masssie thought
Massie- Party Ploverts huge, change plans. Sleep over after.

Alicia clicked her manicured fingers against her phone; living for Friday.
BOCD 1st period Bio
Wednesday September 23rd
8:43 am
Derrick sat behind Massie watching her pass notes to Dempsey. What can she see in that guy anyway? Ugh. He had to stop this before he puked,
Derrick: Shouldn't U be paying attention not talking 2 humpty Dempsey
Massie- R U a police song?
Derrick- No.
Massie- Then why are you watching every move i make?
She replied to the note Dempsey gave her and they both started to laugh. Massie loved that Derrick was watching her. "Maybe he does still like me?" Massie thought. Massie's chair lurched forward and her cell showing that she was texting in class fell on her floor and buzzed with a new text.
Derrick: Reflexes
Mr. Birrs whipped his head around the board where he was drawing diagrams of a leaf. You can get away with almost anything in his class, but he's super strict; so if you get caught it's not good. He whipped his head around glaring at Massie. He walked over and picked up the iphone. He then glared at Massie and Derrick.
"Massie Block and Derrick Harrington," He screamed, "to the principle's office right now!" Massie got up and glared at Derrick.
"What the heck was he thinking!" Massie thought to herself. Dempsey gave her a worried look. "Aww he's concerned about me!" Massie smiled at him and walked out the door.
Principals Office
Wednesday September 23rd
9:02 am
Massie Heard the late bell ring for 2nd period. They had been waiting in here for like 12 minutes!
"I can't believe you did that!" Massie exclaimed, "now were both in trouble!"
"Relax Block," He said leaning back putting his hand over his head. He was secretly happy that he had gotten her away from Dempsey.
"Massie and Derrick, come in please." Principal Burns said calling them in. Massie shot up and walked into the room as Derrick followed her. "Tsk. Tsk." Principal Burns said clicking her tongue; not yet looking up from her computer screen. "Texting in class, violence, disregard for other students paying attention…"
"Puh-lease! Like anyone was actually paying attention." Massie whispered. Derrick fought his laugh by biting his lip.
"And mocking a teacher and his curriculum!" Principle Burns said ending her ridiculously long list of things they did wrong. "Should I give you detention? No, I am going to have you repay Mr. Birr for interrupting his class. Today and tomorrow after school you will report to Mr. Birrs room for and hour and a half of helping Mr. Birr." She finished with a smile.
"An hour and a half! That's 3 hours of detention for just texting!" Massie exclaimed.
"Just texting," Principle burns started looking angry, "Why I don't think you understand the seriousness of the matter young lady! And for that I add another half hour to each day! Now Good-Bye."
"This is so unfair!" Massie yelled. She now had 4 hours of detention, this was beyond awful.
"At least we don't have it on Friday." Derrick said. "4 hours of detention means four hours of being with Massie. Dempsey will be done before Ploverts," He thought silently.
Massie hurried up to her ESP class, the only class that she didn't have with Derrington, and gave Mrs. Lake her tardy slip as she slip into a seat next to the PC. Right now strawberry was going on and on about something or other. Bzz. It was her phone.
Claire- Where were U?
Massie- Principles office D got me busted.
Dylan- Dempsey??
Massie- NO! Derrington. We got detention :(
Alicia- 4 how long?
Massie- today & tomorrow 4 two hours.
Claire- ugh that sucks x10.
Massie- ik and i have to help Mr. Birr!!
Alicia- Ew do wat?
Massie- idk but i soo nawt looking 4ward 2 it!!
Kristen- wat'd U do?
Massie just noticed how long it took for Kristen to reply. What was going on!
Massie- got busted 4 txting. D kicked my chair & phone fell out something bout violence or w/e 2
Claire- :(
Dylan- :(
Alicia- :(
Massie- thx
Massie looked up at Kristen. She had turned off her phone and was… paying attention?! What? This is ESP class! BZZ, her phone rang again.
Dempsey: M U ok?
Massie: ya. Got 2 hours detention 2day & 2moro :(
Dempsey: w/ Derrick?
Massie: :( yup
"Miss. Block, can you please share about the topic now too?" Massie looked up. Mrs. Lake was staring right at her.
"Uhm… what exactly is the topic?" giggles erupted from where the people paying attention were sitting.
Mrss. Lake smiled and replied, "Boys. Just in general."
Massie gave her award winning smile and decided to answer truthfully this time. "I think they are complicated, because it's hard to decide on one. And it'd be a whole lot easier if you could date 2 people at once because then you wouldn't have to choose." She answered sweetly. Some of the girls laughed, but they all wanted to know who and what she was talking about. "And this is why I'm on top" Massie thought to herself still smiling.
BOCD's Tomahawks Locker Room (Bomb Shelter)
Wednesday September 23rd
9:05 am
Cam and his friends were all sitting on the bench, heads resting against the lockers. They were watching the girls ESP class. The camera was planted somewhere in the ceiling that gave them a look at everyone. Right now strawberry was going on and on about how boys were complicating her life, but the only person he was watching was Claire. He saw her and the rest of the PC texting each other. "Probably about the detention Massie and Derrick got," He thought to himself." Suddenly Massie started talking.
"I think they are complicated, because it's hard to decide on one. And it'd be a whole lot easier if you could date 2 people at once because then you wouldn't have to choose." She said. Then all the guys turned and looked at Derrick.
"She likes someone other than Dempsey?!" Derrick said with a confused look on his face.
"Woah," Plovert commented, "This will make my party interesting," He said smiling. Cam turned back to the screen when he heard Mrs. Lake say something.
"Now I'd like to add something to this topic," Said Mrs. Lake "Now I'm guessing a lot of you girls have hung around boys or 'expiremented with them (random laughter around the room), but I know from personal experience that boys can make mistakes which hurt us. I'd like you to share about that. Claire, you please." Cam held his breathe. Finally Claire would say something!
"I think… that guys will do really stupid things to get back at girls. Which is wrong. But girls also do a lot of stupid things around guys and even spy on them," She tilted her head up and it was like she knew he was there. Cam squirmed in his seat. "which is also wrong. So it really isn't the guys fault only. Because the girls can cuase the guys to do the mean things. But if both people are willing to accept apologies and move on then everything can work out and be better. Because people make mistakes," She finished. Claire smiled at the camera. Cam smiled at the screen. Is it possible that she knows? Either way the whole speech made Cam love her even more.
"Now that will make lunch interesting," Plovert said laughing as the camera went back to random girls. Cam smiled, Claire had forgiven him.
BOCD Cafeteria
Wednesday September 23rd
12:30
The whole mourning Claire couldn't get ESP class (or Cam for that matter) off her mind. It really had just come to her when Mrs. Lake asked that question and Claire realized that it wasn't only Cam's fault it was Claire's too. And if he could forgive her; then she could forgive him. Now if only she could find him. The Pretty Committee sat down at table 18 just as Cam and his friends walked in. Claire couldn't wait another moment. She had lost him once now she needed him back. Claire got up and ran to him. Cam had a shocked look on his face.
Claire took a deep breath, "I'msorryispiedonyouanditsnotonlyyourfualtcuzitsminetooandyouwereawsomeandcouldforgivemethenicanforgiveyouandi'msorryimadeyouwait (I'm sorry I spied on you and it's not only your fault cuz it's mine too, and you were awesome and could forgive me then I can for give you. And I'm sorry I made you wait)." She said in one breath then stopped to catch her breath, "and I miss you too, a lot." Cam smiled and kissed her on the lips, right there in the cafeteria. And with that Claire and Cam knew they had both been forgiven, and everything was going to be perfectly fine. They walked holding hands back to table 18.
"Massie, can we push 18 and 19 together so me and cam can sit together?" Claire whispered to the PC.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Alicia whispered back. Finally she could sit with Josh.
"Fine, for you." Massie answered.
"Yay!" Claire replied back. Once the two tables were pushed together there still wasn't much room so Claire sat on Cam's lap and Alicia on Josh's. Derrick was missing Massie bad. But they spent the whole lunch period arguing and it was driving everyone insane. Massie and Derrick left for they're English Class which was far away in the East Wing so they had to leave early.
"That was fun." Josh sighed.
"They were aw-ful to each other!" Alicia sighed.
"I know! how long are they gonna keep this up?" Cam added.
"Not for long," Kemp added with an evil smile, "Well, i got class see you later."
"What does he mean by that??" Claire questioned.
"I don't know. But I'm sure we'll find out." Cam smiled.
BOCD Mr. Birr's room
Wednesday September 23rd
3:38 pm
Massie and Derrick were sitting on the floor organizing piles of papers into different files for Mr. Birr. Translucent lights were giving Massie a major headache. She'd already gotten 2 paper cuts and it had only been 30 minutes! In, out, in, out. Massie thought to herself. She had to be calm to stop herself from going A-wall on Derrington. Not only had he ruined her afternoon of shopping him and his friends ruined her lunch, because the whole time her and derrick were fighting. Anger grew like a starving weed in her stomach.
"Now, isn't this fun?" Derrick said with a sarcastic smile. And that was all it took for Massie to snap.
"Okay, you think your all cool and funny but really your an absolute immature jerk!! I wouldn't even have to be here if it wasn't for you? And if that wasn't enuf for you you came to lunch and you just being there made me lose my appetite and-"
"Eh-hem," Massie was cut off by Mr.Birr renteruring the classroom, "Miss. Block I would like to remind you that its on your own accord that your here, and although Mr. Herrington made mistakes both of you participated in this wrong doing. Now obviously you need to be watched so the rest of detention I only want to here the sound of papers ruffling, do you understand?!" He added angrily.
"Yes," they both mumbled, "and this is why were not dating, anymore." Massie added under her breath. A sharp pain attacked Derricks stomach as she added that.
