A Different Side Of Me.
Two Shot. Dedicated to all of the Plossie lovers and anyone who likes assorted pairings.
He just never understood many things. He never understood why school was so lame.
He never understood how homework could put even the teacher that assigned it asleep.
He never understood how Rainbows were never really actually real. They are just an optical illusion. They seemed so visually real.
He never understood why the word set has the most definitions out of every word in the whole dictionary.
He never understood why Massie acted so different around him then she did all of her friends.
"Hey." Massie said swiping her bangs out of her face. She leaned against his locker and stared at him with her smile directed towards him. Most students were scattered out of the school. The remainding ones were either in Spanish and Art Clubs, or they belonged to sports. But very few were ever out in the hallways.
Chris turned around and smiled back.
"Hi yourself." Chris said pulling a book or two out of his locker and jammed them into his gym bag.
Massie's eyes wandered around. She was making sure no one was looking or would see her. She knew that she couldn't ever be caught dead with Christopher Plovert. Her friends would never approve.
"No one's around Mass." Chris said a slight annoyed. Massie took a deep breath and nodded her head. After a few more seconds, Chris turned towards her and asked, "You ready?"
Massie nodded her head. Chris shut his locker door, slipped the strap of his grey Nike bag over his left shoulder and slid his right hand into Massie's.
Massie smiled and swung her arm slightly back and forth.
::::
"Truth or dare?" Alicia asked turning her full atention to Massie. Massie giggled and put her finger up to her mouth.
"Hmm." She hummed and glanced around. Why not give them something to look forward too. Like an act for attention almost.
"Oh come on Massie. Just choose." Josh winked and pulled out some breath spray and sprayed it into his mouth. Massie laughed and rolled her eyes. She locked eyes with Chris real fast and faced Alicia again.
"Alright Leesh... Dare." Massie smirked. Derrick and Dylan oooed.
Alicia looked around and laughed and stared right at Chris.. "Alright Mass, I dare you to lip lock with Chris."
Chris remained emotionless acting like he didn't care. But oh he did. If only they knew that he got to do this everytime him and Massie were together alone.
Massie felt her heart skipping beats. She had done it several times before but not with anyone around. She felt her palms getting sweaty and she knew all eyes were on her.
"Okay. No big deal." Massie said as she crawled over to where Chris was. Chris gave a small wink to her. Massie giggled slightly and leaned in and pecked his lips. Chris smiled, he loved how her lips tasted like strawberries.
"You can pull away now." Josh coughed and looked away. Massie laughed and pulled away. She had forgotten that her lips were still planted on his. Alicia gave Massie the what-the-heck look.
"Ehh I just never kissed Chris before so why not make it long." Massie said lying through her iPod white teeth.
"Nice Block." Derrick said holding out his hand for Massie to smack. Massie chuckled and smacked the palm of his hand.
Chris silently shook his head. She was just so different. Always trying to impress everyone.
::::
"You know look real funny." Massie giggled, sticking her manicured finger in Chris's face.
"Gee thanks. As goes with you." Chris said sliding his 3-D glasses down on his nose and did the James Bond Impression. Massie started laughing uncontrollably.
After a few minutes. Massie finally had calmed down. She sighed and leaned her head on Chris's shoulder. They was sitting in his basement, in his own home movie theater watching How To Train Your Dragon in 3-D. It had just recently been released in theaters but his parents had connections. Even his parent's connections had connections.
Chris smiled and snuggled up against her. He had been noticing different things.
She was relaxed and at peace when she was with him.
When she is with her friends and groups of people she is always trying to show off and impress people.
She is care-free around him.
When she is with her friends she is always uptight and so snippy.
She is very funny and goofy. Almost in a ridiculous but yet very cute way.
When she is around other people she is a mean funny and never goofy.
Chris definitely agreed he liked the side when she was with him better.
::::
"Massie." Chris said standing against the big oak tree outside the school.
Massie glanced around. Why would he like demand for her to come outside when it was school. She knew that they couldn't be seen. Did he not understand that or something? Her friends would never approve. He just wasn't Josh Hotz or Derrick Harrington. Or the Junior hawtie; Landon Craine.
He was more of the quiet one and nerdy one. She is alpha for pete's sake. She just can't drop her standards in public for one boy. Things don't always work that way. What is wrong with keeping things secretly? It's so much easier. No one is all up in your relationship status.
"Hey." Massie whispered shoving her hands into the pockets of her Ralph Lauren bomber jacket. She shook a little, it wasn't exactly the warmest outside. Massie noticed how he was acting different. He didn't look her in the eyes or even bother saying hi. He just stood there. She waited a few seconds and soon she was finding herself getting impatient.
"Hello?" Massie grumbled.
"This has to end." Chris whispered and looked away. "Sorry." He muttered but not before slipping a note into Massie's hand. He turned around and walked away. He didn't want to see the look in her amber eyes. That was if she even had one.
Massie watched him walk away, he didn't turn around either.
Massie felt her heart break. She felt it crumble. She took a deep breath and refused to let the tears fall down her cheeks. Maybe later but not now. She turned around and started walking towards the door. The wind was nipping at her skin. And he was nipping at her heart.
"Hey why were you out there with Chris?" Alicia asked standing near the door.
"He made a copy of the homework for me. I didn't have time to get it done." Massie said letting Alicia glance at the piece of paper. Massie continued on walking down the hall. She wanted to open the note and read it but she couldn't. Instead she tossed it into the brown trashcan across the hallway.
::::
A few weeks later, things just weren't the same. Massie picked among her salad and glanced around the table. She looked over at Chris but he wasn't even bothering to look at her. He stared at his food and didn't bother looking up. It was like he was almost avoiding her.
Alicia glanced back and forth and noticed that no one was really talking. Massie wasn't gossiping like she always does. She hasn't for the last couple of weeks or so. Derrick was awfully quiet. And Chris wasn't telling his lame jokes that no one seemed to care about.
Well at least the only normal things are; Josh is still shopping at Ralph Lauren online on his Blackberry, Dylan and Kemp are engaging themselves in a conversation about food. Kristen keeps gawking at Dempsey and pulling out her phone to send one of those sappy text messages, and Cam and Claire are doing god knows what.
"Alright why are you all acting so weird." Alicia blurted out getting the attention of everyone at Table 18.
Massie and Chris didn't say anything. Derrick remained quiet as well. He kept following his chocolate eyes back and forth. Once to Massie and again to Chris. Something wasn't right.
After a few seconds Massie stood up and shrugged her shoulders. She didn't even bother to eat her food. It went straight to the trash and out the cafeteria doors she went.
"Well that was awkward." Alicia muttered.
"Oh well." Chris stated picking through his food. He didn't even bother to look up and see everyone's facial expressions. He could only imagine what they had been.
::::
"Can we talk?" Derrick asked seeing Massie ripping the pages out of her notebook furiously. She was sitting on the dirty floor by her locker. She didn't look too happy.
"No." Massie growled and crumbled up the pieces that she was tearing out.
"You know, Chris isn't that bad." Derrick said sitting down next to her. He snatched her notebook out of her small hands. He hugged it tightly to his chest and held on.
"Come on. Give it back." Massie hissed, obviously in no mood to deal with Derrick's tyrants. Couldn't he go back to his stupid friend. His stupid friend that had managed to rip her heart out of her chest and tear it into a million pieces. And then just give her some stupid note and exept her to read it. If he wanted to tell her something then he could just do it in person.
Derrick shook his head no and repeated, "You know, Chris isn't that bad."
"I bet." Massie stared at the ground, trying to leave no emotion on her face. She didn't know if it was working for sure or not.
"Look talk to him okay. And before you throw a note away, rip it up first. Okay?" Derrick grinned and walked away but not before placing the note and her notebook in her lap. She stared at it in a confused manner. By the time she looked up again, Derrick was gone.
