Chapter 2
"Kristen Gregory, is that you?" Massie exclaimed, surprise evident in her voice. Kristen winked at her old friend.
"It sure is," Kristen laughed. They stood across from eachother, unsure of what to say.
"I haven't seen her since-" Massie stopped her thoughts, knowing they were about to cross a long forgotten barrier in her mind. She smiled hesitantly.
"What are you doing here?" Massie said, truly curious.
"Visiting a good friend. Her name is Alicia Rivera. Do you know her?" When Massie shook her head, Kristen looked down at her feet. Then there was silence.
"Well, I had better get going. It was nice seeing you again, Kristen," Massie awkwardly turned around and walked away, leaving Kristen in the lobby.
"Claire! Derrick!" Massie screamed over the music blasting from the speaker above her head. They both turned, smiling at the sight of her. Claire immediately walked to her, while Derrick stayed to talk to the guy next to him.
"Mass, your outfit is…" Claire trailed off. Massie's expression suddenly turned worried. She looked down at her Prada Grecian dress
"What's wrong with it?" Massie asked, tugging at the hem of her dress.
"Nothing!" Claire assured her. "I love Prada!" Massie smiled. Then she looked down at Claire's dress.
"Ehmagawd!" she yelled. "Your dress is so cute!" Claire smiled and twirled in her Lanvin Black Lace Dress
"Girls and their dresses." Claire spun around to face Derrick, who was shaking his head. Next to him was the boy Massie had seen him talking to earlier.
"Massie, this Cam, Derrick's friend. Cam, this is Massie." After Claire had introduced them, Massie smiled at him warmly.
"So, Cam, how do you know Derrick and Claire?" Massie asked, trying to start a conversation. He shrugged.
"My parents are on the show Food with the Fishers, hence me knowing Claire. We actually were going out when she met Derrick…" he trailed off, his expression suddenly angry. Massie patted his hand comfortingly.
"That's got to be awkward," she joked. He nodded and turned to her, smiling.
"Thanks, Massie. It was awkward, for a while, but then I found someone else. I'm not sure if I'm completely over Claire, but Kristen-" Massie cut him off.
"Kristen? As in Kristen Gregory?" she looked at him, her eyes wide. He nodded slowly, not sure what was happening.
"Yeah, she's my girlfriend. Do you know her?" Massie laughed nervously and ran her hand through her curled hair.
"You could say that. We have a… complicated friendship." Cam looked at her expectantly and she sighed.
"You don't want to get me started on Kristen Gregory, that's for sure. It's a long story that few have the patience to hear." Cam grinned.
"Try me." Massie sighed.
"Ok, so a year ago I went to a private school in Westchester. I met Kristen there. At the time she was the alpha; amazing clothes, a hot boyfriend, and the entire school wrapped around her finger. When I came along, the popular crowd welcomed me, all except Kristen. She turned all my friends against me, spread infamous rumors, and ridiculed me in front of my face. I even went home crying some days." Massie seemed embarrassed to talk about the event, and Cam could understand why. She paused, and Cam urged her on, circling his hand signaling her to continue.
"One day, I got fed up with her. I stood up to her and won. I turned the school against, most of them just needing a leader to face her. She apologized, and we became friends on the outside. But I know that both of us sort of secretly hate eachother," Massie laughed, her story done. Cam raised his eyebrows.
"That's not too long of a story."
"Long story short."
"Oh."
"Yeah, and now I feel horrible about the way I treated her, and I want to apologize again. How can I bring it up, though? 'Hey sorry I ruined your middle school rein?' Doesn't sound quite right." Cam laughed.
"I agree." Then, more to himself, he muttered, "I can't believe she did that to Massie." Pretending not to hear him, Massie smiled.
"I honestly hope that that drama is way behind us. But anyway, that story is really last year. I can't believe she's here!"
"Yeah. Her dad got hired for an acting job, but then the movie bombed. Their family has been trying to get a job with Claire's dad for months, but as their family has no cooking talent, I seriously doubt it's going to happen." Just as Massie was about to reply, her phone vibrated.
From: Claire
Hey, where r u and Cam? Com by the entrance, u nd to meet som1!
To: Claire
K, b rite there
Massie turned to Cam. "Claire just texted me; she wants us to go to the entrance." Cam followed her through the crowd, both weaving in and out of groups of people to get to the entrance.
"Claire, I'm here. Who do you- Oh, hey." Next to Claire stood a fashionable redhead. She reached out her hands to give Massie a hug.
"Hey, I'm Dylan," she yelled, trying to be heard over the music. Massie laughed.
"Massie Block. Awesome party!" Dylan shrugged, and winked at Cam, who rolled his eyes in return.
"Oh, I love this song! Let's dance, Cam!" Dylan turned and started to drag Cam to the already full dance floor, but stopped to turn around.
"Nice meeting you, Mass." Then she turned, Cam in tow. Cam looked helpless, and Claire and Massie laughed, watching him be dragged away.
"Care for a dance, Claire." Both girls spun around, only to be face to face with none other than Derrick. Claire giggled and held out her hand.
"Be back soon, Mass!" she yelled. Massie smiled and nodded, leaning on the wall to listen to the music.

"Massie?" Massie froze, her face contorting in anger for a split second before smoothing out.
"Kristen…hi."
"So… how are you doing, Mass?"
"Good…good. How about you?"
"Great. I'm actually looking for my boyfriend. He's-"
"Cam Fisher?"
"Yeah, that's him. How do you know him?"
"Just met him. Nice guy." Kristen cracked a smile.
"I know." Massie shuffled her feet before clearing her throat loudly.
"Well, nice talking to you, Kristen. I'll see you…" Unsure of what to say next, Massie awkwardly walked away, to where Cam was hiding from Dylan.
"Hey, Mass. So, how's L.A.?" Before Massie could answer, Cam spotted Dylan.
"Gotta go!" Cam dashed into a group of people, hiding him from his pursuer.
"L.A. is great." Massie muttered. "Just fabulous so far."
How do you like it so far? i know the characters don't exactly act like themselves, but it is my story! *protective face* I am making some
things like the story, but not everything. I'm thinking of adding some original characters, but I'm drawing a blank. Want to help? I'll post a
character application, and put your screen name so that if I do choose your person, I can give you all the credit you deserve!
One thing I am keeping; Massington and Clam. So, even if it doesn't seem like it, rest assured it is!
I'm pretty proud of myself; I updated in one day! But one thing that could help me carry on... REVIEWS! PLEASE! PRETTY PLEASE! THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE NICE!( THOUGH THAT IS PREFERABLE...)
I'll stop before I start rambling. :) Oh, you can see Claire and Massie's party dresses on my profile.
