The Block Estate

Massie's Room - iPad

3:45pm

"No, no, no!" Massie shrieked in complaint as she landed belly up on her bed. She stared at the ceiling, closing her eyes then reopening them, hoping to have woken up from some insane nightmare. She looked around and grumbled, dramatically draping a bare tan arm across her face.

"I'm sorry, Mass!" Claire Lyons said to her BFF, not looking at the stressed out girl. She immediately switched her gaze to her nails. Eying her thumbnail, she debated whether or not to chew.

"This can't be!" Massie whimper-cried. "How do you know?!"

"My parents found out from the news an-"

"This is it. I don't care anymore!" Massie interrupted the pretty blonde girl standing at the foot of her bed. She sat up and crossed her legs, reaching for her iPhone. The girl quickly tapped away at the screen, sending messages to the rest of the PC.

"What are you doing?" Claire asked, her sea-blue eyes widening.

"Calling an emergency meeting! We have to do something about this!" Massie replied in a determined tone.

Claire didn't hesitate this time. She bit down on her thumb nail.

The Block Estate

Massie's Room - iPad

5:00pm

Dylan was late! The other girls had arrived, but not her. Massie tapped her foot impatiently, staring at her bedroom door. The other girls exchanged nervous glances, worried for their red-headed friend's safety. Massie had something important to say, that was evident. And it didn't look like she was gonna wait much longer to say what it was that she had brought all of them to the iPad to discuss.

Alicia had resorted to twirling her wavy raven tresses around a french manicured finger tip, while Kristen fiddled with the laces on her gray converse, and Clair bit on her thumb nail.

Right when Massie was about to crack, her bedroom door opened up, and a red-faced Dylan rushed inside. She speed-walked (Gawd knows none of the PC members would run) over to the seat next to Alicia, dropping a white paper bag by its handles next to her.

Massie stared at the red-head, making the girl's skin turn even more scarlet.

"Where were you?" Massie asked pointedly, her legs crossed and her nails tapping on her hairless knee.

"I was at a health food store!" Dylan insisted, pointing to her bag with her blue eyes wide.

"Whatevs," Massie scoffed. "That is nawt the issue at hand here anyways... I have heard--from a very valuable source--that the soccer boys are going to be let back into the building!"

Each girl squirmed where she sat.

The Alpha let her amber gaze scan over each of the girls' expressions. Alicia looked kind of, satisfied... But as if she was not satiated. Massie frowned at this.

She switched her gaze over to Kristen. Just as she had suspected, Kristen didn't look all that interested. She felt the same way as Massie did on the issue. Or at least, that is what Massie chose to tell herself. She was always right.

The girl's eyes moved over to Claire. She was chewing frantically on her thumb nail as if her life depended on it. Massie sighed.

"Gawd Kuh-laire!" The Alpha said. "Can you stop destroying your nails for one second in your life? It bugs me!"

Claire's eyes lifted from her nail, and she pulled her fingers away from her gaping mouth. She looked... Hurt? Massie rolled her eyes though, dismissing the strange expression on her friend's face.

She looked to Dylan. The red-head's face was strange... It seemed unreadable to Massie. She frowned, trying to decipher and piece every detail of the expression on her friend's face. She gave up with a mental shrug and smiled.

"So, here's the plan..." she spoke.

Sad thing was, she didn't have everyone's attention. Massie just didn't notice.


I know it isn't much... But I was in a hurry to post the first chapter. =P

I promise I will do better! R&R and I'll love you forever! =]
