Massie: Shows the world she is tough, flawless, and confident. But deep down…she knows she is not. Sometimes being pretty and rich wasn't always a good thing. Her life was always focused around Fashion, Friends, and just being popular. What she really likes is just grabbing a notebook, and to sit down and just write to her hearts content. So when her parents tell her that the whole family is moving, she couldn't be more happier. Finally, a chance to start over. And maybe, just maybe a chance to fall in love.
Claire: Her parents both died with cancer when she was 3 , so Massie's family adopted her and her older brother Kevin. Since then Massie and her were more than just sisters…..they shared a bond no one could describe. When everybody was told they were moving to Westchester, she didn't really care. I mean her and Massie have always been the center of attention. Fitting in wasn't really the problem. Her whole life boys have been after Claire…and she ignores them. Because she wants love. Like that's going to happen. But who knows….maybe the future holds something she could never guess.
Massie POV:
So today was the big first day of 10th grade. The day I had been planning for, ever since we were told we were going to move. Nervous? Yes. Scared? Absolutely not. I was Massie Block, I am never scared.
As soon as I got out of my warm bed, I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I walked over to my closet. In all honesty I find choosing an outfit one of the hardest part of my day. After a good 10 minutes I decided to go for a pair of black skinny jeans and a flowy silver top. Simple yet chic. I threw on my outfit and decided to let my hair flow down my back (obviously after I straightened it).
After I had finished putting on the finishing touches, I walked over to the full length mirror standing in front of my wardrobe. I looked great, not overly done, just right.
But that's the problem. Most people just want to be me and Claire's friends cause were attractive. Not because they genuinely like us. I wish I could read peoples minds and see what they really think about us. Maybe finding a boyfriend would be easier.
I laughed at my own thoughts. Where have I been living these past few years? No one in this world will like me for me. No girl no guy. Right?
Claire POV:
Last night I couldn't even get to sleep. My thoughts kept wandering into areas of my brain that I wish I could just ignore. Things and memories of stuff I wish I could just forget. I looked over at the alarm clock. It was 5:30 and school didn't start until like 8 i had just moved in about 1 month ago and I already wish I was back home. I got out of my warm toasty bed and onto the hard tile floors. I turned on the faucet and let the sound of the water wake me up. I tied my Blonde hair into a pony tail and washed my face and brushed my teeth. At around 6:30 I had finished with my shower, and had already picked an outfit to wear. A Pink Dress that reached a few inches above my knees, with some strappy sandals. I could honestly care less. To me the world isn't about Fashion. Its about getting where you need to go at the time you want to get there. I le my naturally straight hair fall down my back and just curled the ends. I didn't bother putting much make up on. Just a little bit of eye line and Mascara. There. I was done.
I looked at the clock. 7:25. I took a deep breath and walked downstairs to meet Massie and Kevin. My heart thumping. Why was I so nervous?
Calm down. Deep Breaths. You can do it. Its just 10th grade. Nothing Major.
When I was downstairs, the whole family was there. I met Kevin's eyes. He gave me a confident smile. I smiled back. I am SO ready for 10th grade!
...The next Day...
Massie POV:
I watched as Claire walked down the stairs and gave Kevin a smile. Sometimes I wish I was as stunning as Claire was. Her beautiful, perfectly curved body, her long silky hair. The way her blue eyes would sparkle. The way she laughed and smiled. No one could ever get mad at Claire. I was so happy to finally have a brother and sister when we adopted them. And I still am.
"Are you ready to rock 10th grade Lyons?" I asked Claire in a playful voice.
She laughed, and smirked.
"The real question is are you ready Block, I was ready at 5:00 am," She replied in an equally friendly tone.
"Oh so that's how its going to be? Well your messing with the wrong Block" I walked over to where she was standing and was about to jump on her when dad gave me the "look".
"sorry" I mumbled.
Claire laughed, "its cool dad", she gave me a encouraging smile. I smiled back. She knew I was just kidding.
As soon as we finished breakfast, me and Claire kissed our parents on the cheek, and ran to the Kevin's convertible. He insisted that he would drive us since the Limo is at the mechanics. As soon as we were buckled in we were on our way High school. Even though I was in the car with the 2 most people I love…I couldn't help but feel this empty feeling. Like there is a missing piece to the puzzle. Like usual I pushed it aside, I had bigger things to worry about.
