The Block Estate
Massie's Bedroom
Friday, February 2nd
Massie Block was sitting at her desk in front of her new iMac G5. Alicia and Dylan had bought it for her for Christmas and instant messages were flying back and forth between the Pretty Committee.
Massiekur: Hey A. Hold on, I'm going to add K&D and Claire.
Holagurrl: Heyy Mass! Kay.
Massie clicked the plus sign icon in the corner of the gray iChat window. She clicked on Dylan, Kristen and Claire's screenames.
Massiekur: K, D, and C, you there?
Bigredhead has joined the chat
Bigredhead: D es aquí
Massiekur: Kristen? Kuh-laire?
Sexysportsbabe has joined the chat
ClaireBear has joined the chat
Sexysportsbabe: I'm here, guys.
Holagurrl: Heyy. So wait where's Claire? It said she entered the chat…
ClaireBear: Sorry, my computer froze again, LOL.
Massiekur: LOL x2. So anyway I have a little announcment to make.
Bigredhead: Splain.
Holagurrl: Dyl, it's Spain not "Splain."
Sexysportsbabe: What's Splain… it's not on my vocab list. Should I add it? BTW Dylan since when have you learned Spanish.. I saw you wrote "D es aquí"
ClaireBear: Wait Massie, what were you saying?
Massiekur: Thanks, Claire. Now will the rest of you stawp talking about Splain and vocabulary so I can tell you the big news…?
Bigredhead: Sorry Mass… but anyway 'Splain is shorthand for EXPLAIN. Duh!
Sexysportsbabe: Uhhh.. okay.
Holagurrl: Mass?
Massiekur: What…
Holagurrl: The gossip?
Bigredhead: ¡Si!
Sexysportsbabe: See, what's with the Spanish??
Massiekur: Anyway, the big news is that the Pretty Committee is hosting a BOCD Valentine's Day party in two weeks!
Holagurrl: We only have two weeks to plan this?
Bigredhead: I wanted to get started on my diet.
Sexysportsbabe: I've got 2 history papers coming up.
ClaireBear: Guys? We thought you'd like this idea. But since you ahb-viously don't, Massie and I will plan this ourselves, just like the Halloween Party.
Massie grinned. Finally Claire started using her terms, and she was backing her up on this. It's what a true alpha would do: if somebody doesn't like what you do, you have to make them like it.
