I don't own the clique. Lisi Harrison does. Or the song "after tonight" by Justin Nozuka.
There's something in your eyes
Is everything alright
You look up to the sky
You long for something more
Darling
Give me your right hand
I think i understand
Follow me and you will never have to wish again
The bell finally rang and the last week of school was coming to a close end. Massie Block stood up and grabbed her Ralph Lauren messenger bag. Her best friend Dylan Marvil waited for her to exit the all white walled classroom. Massie was the last to leave the crowded room. Everyone was racing to go home.
"Hey!" Dylan greeted her and the two headed to the entrance to the building. While the two recapped their day, Alicia Rivera, came up to them. "Why hello, losers."
Massie rolled her eyes and continued walking. Dylan fallowed her. Alicia was the most popular seventh grader who had it all and had it out for Massie. Dylan looked at her best friend with her emerald eyes. "So, forget about Alicia."
"I do." The amber eyed girl announced. "I just don't get it."
"Get what?" The red head asked as they waited for Massie's driver to pick them up.
"I do nothing to that girl and she still treats me like white trash." Massie sighed and played with her brown hair.
"Don't mind her," Dylan advised. "So, are we going to the end of the school year party?"
Massie shrugged. Her school, Octavian Country Day always had an en of the school year party at the OCD field. It was an outdoor event celebrated with the Briarwood boys. Massie shuddered at that thought boys at her all girl school.
"I don't know." Massie said. "C'mon Mass." Dylan pleaded.
Massie shrugged. "You can I'll just stay home."
"But Derrick Harrington wants you there." Dylan urged.
Massie froze. Derrick Harrington was Briarwood's most popular seventh grader. He was the star goalie with mesmerizing brown eyes and adorable blonde hair. He was drop dead amazing so why would he be interested in Massie Block? He was better for Alicia Rivera.
Massie's driver finally came and the two got into the car. It was a silent ride. Massie was looking out her window and Dylan was looking out hers. Massie was busy day dreaming. The car came to a stop and Dylan opened her door. She looked back at Massie.
"I'm going to the end of the school year party," She said, "I hope you'll be there."
She closed the door and made her way up the steps. Massie's driver drove out of the Marvil's driveway. Massie looked out her window and stared at the trees as the car passed by them.
I know that after tonight
You don't have to look up
At the stars no no no no
And I know by the end of tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars
And I know if the love is alright
You don't have to look up
At the stars no no no no
I know by the end of tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars
No no no no no no no no no
Once Massie got home, she raced to her room and slammed the door shut. She collapsed on her white plush pillows and her pug, Bean leaped on Massie's bed. Massie laid on her started to think.
"Should I go?" Massie asked no one in particular and Bean barked. Massie turned to her dog and smiled. She closed her eyes and imagined what would happen. Derrick might look at her as if she was the most beautiful girl in the world. He'd take her hand and she would smile and Alicia Rivera would be jealous. Massie's amber eyes shot open. And Alicia would kill her.
Massie sighed and closed her eyes again entering her happy world. After a moment of serenity, Massie got up and walked to her closet. She opened it and got out a pair of shorts, a long blue and white striped t-shirt, and a Juicy Couture jacket. She grabbed a pair of Chanel flats.
She quickly changed and looked out the window it was getting dark. The party was starting at six and it was already five thirty. Massie looked at herself in the mirror.
"What would Derrick Harrington want with me?" She asked herself. She shrugged off the question of the night and walked to the intercom near her bed.
"Mom, please tell Isaac to bring the car around," Massie said, "I'm ready."
"Okay." Her mom replied a moment later.
"This is it." Massie said to herself and dabbed Mac lip gloss on her lips.
Tell me how you feel
And if I'm getting near
I'll tell you where to steer
You tell me where to steer, D-D-D-Darlin'
Way above the clouds
And high above the stars
Through the unknown black holes
No one knows where we are
But we'll return to earth
And do it all over again
Isaac drove to OCD and the road there was crowded and full of cars. Massie sighed and got out her phone.
Massie: Dylan I'm here.
She sent it and Isaac pulled the car to the gated entrance. Massie thanked Isaac and opened the door. "I'll tell you when to pick me up." Massie said and Isaac nodded.
It was a dark cool night. Summer was officially here in Westchester. Massie walked on the short cut grass to the main field. Massie could hear voices and music. She made it to the field and looked around. There were tents, music, food, and people. Some cars were parked in the field by the side. Massie could smell barbecue.
Massie walked more in the field and her pants vibrated. She read her message from Dylan.
Dylan: Derrick was talking to me with his friends! He's looking for you!
Massie swallowed hard. She placed her cell phone in her pocket. Massie felt as if the world was spinning around her as she stood still. She felt as if she could see everything; people walking around, cars moving, people dancing; fireworks exploding, random porta potties, balloons flying into space, and finally… Derrick Harrington.
Cause I know that after tonight
You don't have to look up
At the stars no no no no
And I know by the end of tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars
And I know if the love is alright
You don't have to look up
At the stars no no no no
I know by the end of tonight
You don't have to look up at the stars
He was wearing a black shirt and a gray long sleeve underneath. He looked adorable. Massie's legs trembled. She could barely see his face but the light in the background showed his blonde hair and silhouette.
He walked closer to him and Massie's confidence grew. He stood in front of her with a welcoming smile. "Hey you're here."
Massie stayed silent and could see Derrick's friend a few feet behind him.
"So, want to hang out?" Derrick asked. Massie wasn't sure of this but there was something in Derrick's brown eyes that made her confident. "Sure." She finally said.
Derrick smiled and the two started walking around the party with Derrick's group fallowing a few feet behind them.
Massie smiled. She would remember this night forever.
So what do you think? Bad? Good? Terrible? Well, till the final chapter.
