So here is PSILY by me:) Had the ideas forever and decided to finally put written down thoughts to type. Reviews? Love em. Gummies? Love them too. Want one??? If you review maybe I'll give you one. Heh? Okay I'll shut up so you can read now.
So this was the day. Here is where everything would be decided and possibly changed. For all of BOCD history. Today, was the day Massie Block, thee Massie Block, was taking back her school.
In the corner dedicated to 3 full length mirrors of Massie Blocks room, every detail was being examined and Massie was putting herself under a microscope. Any possible flaw could ruin her and any last minute inspiration could make her presence as alpha widely known. For the week at least.
"Solid 9.7. What do you think Bean?" Massie turned away from the mirror to ask her little pug that was laying on her bed. She had changed 3 separate times and this was as close to perfect as Massie Block could get. The dog tiny peered around and evaluated the outfit before 2 yaps of approval and a groggy yawning and stretch. She curled back up on the sleigh style bed and hid her eyes under her paws before returning to sleep.
"Good, me too" she smiled and turned back to her mirror for last minute touch-ups. She straightened her wide silver belt that hung flat across her slender hips over a long purple scoop neck tee. She tugged a little on the hem of her dark denim mini and zipped up her black ankle boots. She went with natural makeup and her hair down in soft waves with a black headband.
The nervous feeling in the pit of her stomach was a direct result of last Friday. She wasn't sure how she would feel seeing Dempsey again. She broke out in a knowing smile as she felt the simple silver ring on her right pointer finger with her thumb. She bit down on her lower lip in a bubbly romantic daze before she realized she just messed up her gloss.
She turned back around and examined her immaculate bedroom that Inez was going to vacuum as soon as she left. She finally spotted it on the edge of her night table where it had been in sleep mode ever since the boy-fast had been initiated. Her old golden charm bracelet. In 2 swift steps she had grabbed it and snapped in on her wrist before she heard the familiar click of the intercom just before she got the message.
"Massie, can't you hear Isaac! He's been honking for five minutes" Kendra called through the little white intercom box next to Massie's bed.
She didn't reply and just grabbed her LE Coach tote in silver, black and purple that contained her new iPhone and waltzed out of her room while reapplying her clear, Strawberry Shortcake Glossip Girl. It was the last flavor in the current GG line and made her perfect pout absolutely irresistible with a strong shimmer and de-lish flavor.
Massie peeked around the edge of the stairs and tried to map out her game plan for staying out of the house after school when she was supposed to be grounded for having a D in math. Her parents may not be heavy on discipline but they sure couldn't brag about a "C" average at the Club. When she was sure her plan would work she shot around the corner and descended down the glossy stairs swiftly.
"Mom, I might be a little late today. We are going to the soccer game after school. The whole Sirens versus Tomahawks charity thing the school set up? Anyway, be back whenever" Massie rushed out the door before Kendra could put in a protest.
After pushing the heavy front door open she saw the nice early-October weather. Cool and breezy but not cold enough to bring out jackets and sweatshirts yet. An obnoxious neighbor already had Christmas lights in hot pink surrounding their small brownstone.
"In. Now" Isaac growled at her before she hopped in the door he was holding open for her. The vein in his neck was bulging in annoyance.
She slid in across from Claire who was watching the Early Show on the cube-t.v. Claire had ditched the Keds for the occasion and substituted them for Marc Jacob flats courtesy of Dylan who had cleaned out her closet of anything from last seasons lines.
"Kuh-laire, turn it off for now" Massie referred to the t.v. Claire obliged and pressed the small, red power button. "Lover boy left something for you" Massie opened up her Coach bag and started sifting through everything. She finally resorted to dumping out the entire contents- 2 tubes of GG, a house key, her wallet that was filled with credit cards, a keychain with pictures of the PC, her makeup bag that was full to the top, cucumber scented lotion from C.O Biggelo(travel size), and her iPhone all tumbled to the buttery leather seats before she could find the cellophane bag of oily, neon gummies and the folded note that was taped to it.
Claire broke out in a nervous sweat when she saw the bag and thought of Cam. She wiped her palms on her khaki 2-inch-above-the-knee skirt. She pawed with the fibers in the tiny side slit as Massie was retying the battered bag that contained her love-gift from Cam. When Massie finished with her loose knot, she handed the bag to and note to Claire. She grabbed the note wordlessly and tore open the slightly worn paper.
She held her breathe before she started to read. That slightly metallic taste was creeping its way up but on the outside she looked 100 percent zen. She looked up and her eyes quickly flitted over the few words.
C-
I guess that's a no?
-C
The short and sweet note brought a small grin to Claire's chapped lips that cracked when she smiled.
"Here" Massie rummaged through her bag again and pulled out a slender tube of Glossip Girl that was a banana color. Nothing got past Massie Block.
" Thanks" Claire focused on applying the creamy gloss in the tiny side mirror. She rubbed her lips together and popped an orange worm in her mouth as soon as she finished.
Massie rolled her infamous amber eyes and slid back into the seat as they pulled up to the Rivera's estate. Isaac screeched to a halt and the breaks whined and moaned at the sudden stop.
" Jesus Isaac!" Massie exclaimed as she was slammed into Claire when the car so suddenly stopped. She pulled back and smoothed her clothes before dismissing him with a scowl.
"Heyy" Alicia greeted as she traipsed in at snail speed. She looked model perfect with her wavy black locks thrown behind her shoulder. She wore a simple/chic reporter outfit. Charcoal grey RL slim pants and a crisp, white button down. Paired with round-toe, black peep toe pumps and a metallic necklace she looked sophisticated yet young. Especially with the red Yves. St Laurent lipstick she was sporting.
"Hey Leesh." Massie replied, her tone bored. She watched Alicia slide in her seat and use ballerina's posture as she sat straight against on the angle compared to Claire who was slightly slouched.
"Heyy, I have Monday morning gossip for youu" she sang out after she pulled the latest edition of Lucky from her Balenciaga.
"So spill then" Massie commanded trying to sound as uninterested as possible but she craved news after a weekend of just her and Claire and the spa.
" After Kristen and Dylan get picked up." Alicia assured before flipping open the magazine to a Style tips page.
"Claire, this outfit is soo you!" Alicia exclaimed in excitement. "We have to get this at the mall soon." she finished after Yes stickering the outfit and putting the magazine away.
" That reminds me, did you guys bring outfits for the game? We don't have much time for a mall trip" Massie asked while twirling the silver band on her long fingers.
"Check" Alicia answered absentmindedly before getting lost in thought in a dead stare out the window.
"What?" Claire knit her light brows and looked to Massie for an explanation. She popped another green sour to calm her nerves about today.
"Not for you. We can just run and pick up the Lucky outfit. Right L?" Massie asked with her moisturized palm outstretched for the magazine. Claire puffed her eyebrow length bangs again to keep them from sticking to her forehead.
Alicia ignored her, still staring out the window as they pulled up to Dylan's estate.
"Leesh!" Massie raised her voice and snapped at her zoned friend.
"Huh? Uh, yeah sure Mass." Alicia shook the thoughts of Josh on Saturday night from her head. He had acted so weird…..like he didn't even like her anymore.
The popping sound the door was making signified the entrance of Dylan. She had a giant smile on her face and was looking a little thinner. Kristen followed her carrying a orange Juicy overnight bag over her shoulder.
Everybody greeted them and exchanged small talk until Alicia started with her much awaited gossip.
"Okay Alicia, gossip time" Massie warned as she filed at her in an attempt to look natural when she needed this gossip. Especially if it helped her with Dempsey.
"So. My sources have informed me that soon there will be new locker rooms built near the soccer field with the money a gracious family donated to the school." she left off half way through with her announcement. Alicia always loved to build suspense.
"Okayy?" Claire and Kristen asked in unison obviously not getting the point. They all shook their heads and racked their brains trying to understand what this would mean.
"Soooo, with the boys out of the bomb shelter….." she trailed off to let them think it all out.
"We get the room back!!!!!!" Dylan all but yelled when she figured it out seconds later.
Chatter immediately broke out about décor and paint and when they could move back in. To Massie, it was deafening.
"HEY!" Massie yelled out over them for silence. "That's better" she shook her head and casually twirled a lock of hair.
"That's not all." Alicia grinned devilishly. Her bright red lipstick highlighted the fact.
"Well go on" Claire urged her with a spark in her eyes now. She finally had a place at school she could sneak off to if she just plain out needed a safe place. That alone was comfort enough.
"Okay, this family also donated enough money for another project. See the family found the trailers to be a pain and altogether bad idea. They decided to donate money for the construction of a new wing in BOCD" Alicia left all the girls in shock but silent excitement.
They were all secretly happy the boys would be back. Even Massie tried to deny it to herself the glow that was starting to spread across her tan, blushed face.
"Eh-magawd! How long until they start construction?" Kristen piped up while bobbing her Prada heel clad foot to the beat of a mellow song in her head.
"Next weekend" Alicia stated gravely.
"So the boys all come back…" Dylan didn't finish her sentence and stopped messing with a piece of her straightened hair.
"Next week" the answer came from Massie and enveloped the Range Rover in silence as they pulled in the front lot and stared at all the kids yapping on the Great Lawn and the very boys themselves huddled around Massie's oak tree.
Seventh graders wearing obvious knock-off Louis and Juicy, stopped to stare as the girls all elegantly stepped out of the Range Rover and gathered before they walked on campus and their social lives for the foreseeable future was decided. That was enough to shake Massie up on the inside. But only on the inside. On the outside, she was the most confident and beautiful girl you loved to hate but ultimately worshipped.
"Okay. This is it" Massie whispered to the PC before they lined up in the usual formation. From left to right it went Dylan, Claire, Massie, Alicia then Kristen. Without the normal ratings they went along on their way. The only imperfections were in their heads.
"If Massie knows I convinced my parents to pay for renovations, I am so out" Alicia tried to shake the thought.
So more alpha than ever, the girls made their entrance to the beat of "Live Your Life" and not one person couldn't help but stare in awe. Including the Briarwood Boys.
