"Durango? Durango freaking Colorado? … WHY!", I nearly screeched.
"Mass, hun, it's an upgrade from our mansion now, I promise." William tried to soothe.
"This move better earn me the new iPhone 5 in pink I wanted, Dad!" I threatened.
"Of course Kitten" William promised.
I stormed up to my room to find my room filled with boxes marked 'Massie'. You have got to be kidding me! No way is this happening right now! The only thing Inez hadn't packed or wasn't in the moving truck already, was my bed. I crawled on to my down feather Tempur-Pedic bed and began the conference call.
"Hola!"
"Hey!"
"What Up?"
"Hi Mass, I'm so sorry, I heard already."
Of course Claire already knew. I began to sob as I told the rest of my girls. No more Friday night sleepovers, no more Saturday soccer games with the Brairwood boys, nothing. I was moving to Durango, Colorado, and that was final.
I boarded our private jet the next morning after a teary goodbye to my girls. I was going to miss them, but they promised to come visit. After 6 hours in the air my fitted café Versace summer dress was wrinkling, and my feet hurt as I walked off the jet in my Miu Miu leopard pumps. I grabbed my hot pink Ralph Lauren mini trench, a gift from Leesh, and got in the limo to see a totally new face. I had a hawt driver, couldn't be older than 18 or 19... yum.
We drove for 5 minutes in silence before he spoke up, "Miss Block, Do you need anything? There's a hot latte by the mini fridge for you, if you want it." He paused for a moment then added, "My name is Daniel by the way."
"Um thanks. You can call me Massie you know, not Miss Block." I smiled trying to make a good impression.
"Okay. You're gonna love it here Massie, don't worry."
"I certainly hope so." And I did, the countryside sort of reminded me of Westchester. It was nearing dusk, but I could still see outside. We passed what looked like a school, and Daniel confirmed it.
"Timberline Academy, that's where you're going to school." He explained.
We drove for about 10 more minutes until he turned off onto River Creek Lane. We passed 3 driveways before he turned onto a gravel drive with an iron gate and stone wall. The lights were on in our mansion, and from the look of it, my parents were outside waiting to greet me.
"How many rooms does it have?" I asked.
"8, I believe, and there's a guesthouse and a pool house, a tennis court, gym, and a spa." He laughed, "Satisfactory?"
"It'll do."
He dropped me at the front door and went to take my bags up to my room. The house was nice, 2 stories, crème-colored, and had a warm glow coming out into the crisp fall air. I bypassed my parents, going straight to my room, following Daniel. I opened the double crème doors to my lavender room, already set up with my stuff. All Daniel had was 2 suitcases of my clothes, the rest were here in my closet.
"Get some sleep Massie Dear, you have your first day of school tomorrow." Kendra called from downstairs.
The new Inez better be a good cook I thought in my head before I went to sleep.
Dark-wash denim skinny jeans, sparkly gold Gucci baby doll long-sleeve, leather Alexander McQueen ankle cuff peep-toe booties, and my new Daydreamer Heart Medallion Bag from Juicy Couture, and I was ready to go. I raced downstairs to find two strawberry pop tarts, and a pink iPhone 5 waiting for me on the kitchen counter. I heard Daniel honk twice, and I rushed outside. I turn 16 in 3 months and I can't wait! I'm not the best driver though… Until then I'll happily keep my hot chauffer.
"Massie, would you mind if I picked up my brother and his girlfriend, his truck is in the shop right now."
"Yeah that's fine."
It took us only 5 minutes to get to Daniel's parents where a boy who looked about 17, and a petite girl with dark wavy hair, about my age stood by the gate. They got into the limo and thanked me profusely.
"Massie this is my brother Joe, and his girlfriend, Avery".
We said our hello's and sat in silence until we got to TA's campus. I studied Avery as she got out and dragged Joe over to where her friends were waiting by a picnic table. They squealed hello and gushed over her outfit, a very cute one if I do say so myself. She wore a black and white Chloe satin and lace strapless dress, black tights, and bright purple Jimmy Choo Erica suede booties. She definitely had potential.
I walked to the front office, deliberately through a group of jock-esque boys, who gawked and whistled as I strutted past. I got my schedule locker assignment, and school map. They also assigned me a tour guide, none other than Avery Goode. Good, a chance to chit chat. I glanced at my schedule and went off to find Avery again.

Avery was exceedingly happy to be my guide, we had 3 classes together, and she put her number in my iPhone quickly. "Oh my gosh!" She gushed, "The pink is sooo cute mine is purple!" She smiled. We were best friends immediately. Luckily the day went by fast, and it was lunch. We headed towards the café center and got sushi. We were walking to our table when a cute guy stepped in my way. He had dark brown hair and emerald eyes, and looked familiar. "Hey, are you the new girl?" He smiled, "I'm Alex." I smiled back and introduced myself.
"Alex! What did I tell you about flirting with my friends!" Avery scolded.
"Sorry sis, geez." Oohhh so that's why he looks familiar. Avery's brother, got it.
He followed us to a long table with 3 girls, Joe, and 3 other guys on it. After introductions I had six new friends, Leah, Brooke, Maya, Sam, Grant, and Derek. Maybe Durango wouldn't be so bad after all.
