Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story except the plot and screen names. I didn't come up with the title or writing the story like a chat either. I got those two ideas from one of my favorite books by Lauren Myracle.
It was 3 weeks after the expulsion thing. Principle Burns had let TPC back into OCD as long as they took at least 1 extra-curricular activity. Massie was taking Advanced Fashion Design, Alicia had to tutor 7th and 6th graders in Spanish, Kristen was helping coach the 6th grade volleyball team, and Claire had to join Knitting Club with Dylan. It wasn't all that fun, but at least they were back in the school. It was a rainy day, and Claire was sitting in front of her new iBook laptop writing an e-mail to Cam. Then she saw the little red circle next to Massie's screen name turn green. She must have just logged on, so Claire decided to send her an IM.
Claire the Bear: Hey, Massie. What are you up to?
Massie the Queen Bee: Nothing much. I like our new screen names. They're just too cute.
Claire the Bear: I know, right? I can't believe AOL made all of their members change their screen names to their first name, then something that they are. I picked Claire the Bear because of my last screen name. Plus it rhymes.
Massie the Queen Bee: LOL! Yeah, I know. I picked Massie the Queen Bee because I am truly a queen bee. Everybody knows it too. I'm glad.
Claire the Bear: Of course everyone knows. You don't let anybody forget. LOL!
Massie the Queen Bee: Yeah, I guess you're right. Anyway, do you want to get Alicia, Kristen, and Dylan into a chat room?
Claire the Bear: Yeah, that would be awesome.
Massie the Queen Bee: ….
Claire the Bear: What?
Massie the Queen Bee: Set up the chat room. I have no idea how to do it, and I don't feel like going all the way to the instructions. I hate reading instructions. I hate reading in general.
Claire the Bear: I'm so sorry. I'll get right on it. It only takes about 3 minutes.
