WOW! Thanks for all the smashing reviews! They totally made me wanna update more! Here goes….

DISCLIAMER: DON'T OWN ANYTHING 'CEPT THE IDEAS. SADLY, I DON'T EVEN OWN THE COOL COMEBACKS!

DERRICKHARRINGTON-POV.

It's the first day of school, where's Massie? All summer I spent texting, calling, and emailing her, but I haven't seen her for SO LONG! Well, I've talked to her on iSight, but it's not the same.

After spending a long summer apart from her, I decided it was time to make my manly move. Who said I couldn't make out with Massie? We've been dating for like a year now, and it she wasn't going to start, I will.

It was 2 minutes before school started. All the guys from Briarwood were behind the wide, long, blue and white curtains on stage. After their new Principal Burns made her usual announcements, she would introduce the BB boys, and the large curtain would rise up and reveal us. I had 2 minutes to check my appearance and make sure I was "presentable" for my girlfriend to see.

Where are Massie and her clique? Wasn't she curious to see how I changed over the summer for her? I was definitely curious to know if she got taller, or skinnier, or something. I just needed to catch a glimpse of her before 1st period began, and I wouldn't see her until lunch.

(Have you guessed when this is? It's actually about the time when Bratfest At Tiffany's begins, sorta where TPC make their "big" appearance in front of the school during the assembly. OH, and in this chapter, Massie and Derrick have been together since last year. It may not always be a MxD though.)

A minute has gone by.

Cam tapped my shoulder and broke my thoughts, signaling we should walk over and find the other guys. I nodded, and began to follow him. Quickly, we found Josh, Kemp, and Chris hanging over near the side of the curtains. On the side, was a little opening, where if they were sneaky, they could look out and see all the girls of OCD sitting on leather couches.

"Dude, what are you guys doing?" I asked the guys, who were taking turns sticking their heads out.

"Kemp's being a dork, and looking at girls doing stupid stuff." Josh answered. He smiled, but looked irritated that Kemp and Chris were hogging their "view". I could tell he wanted to see Alicia just as much as I wanted to see Massie.

"Man, one girl just asked her friend if she thinks her butt is too big! And now they're both trying to stare at her butt! Ha! Girls can be so embarrassing when we're not around." Chris laughed. All the guys 

laughed and tried to get a glimpse of it. Cam was the only one who just looked the other way as if he didn't know us.

"Look! Another girl keeps pulling up her shirt! It's like she thinks we're watching her or something. It's not like we're gonna look up her shirt or anything." Kemp cracked up.

"Dude, stop being so pervy!" Cam, Josh, and I reminded him at the same time.

"Sorry..sorry. It's not like I'm gonna look. Well, maybe…" He mumbled.

All the guys cracked up and started hitting Kemp for being so weird. After a while, they stopped and tried to position themselves so they could hear their cue as to when they would be revealed.

Principal Burns was trying to talk over the chanting "Awk,awk, awk!" but, she was clearly out-numbered. So, she shortened her speech, to the part where she was supposed to announce the Briarwood boys to OCD.

"I'd like to proudly welcome our new students and guests. Please give a hand to the Briarwood boys!" She clapped and signaled someone behind the stage to pull the curtain up. Slowly, it pulled up and revealed them.

Some were looking embarrassed. Some obviously shy. Some were clapping, and others were waving at the screaming girls. It was like they were at a Jonas Brothers concert, where the girls below were cheering for the performers above.

While a few boys just looked. Specifically, Josh, Cam, and I searched for our girls.

In a few seconds, we spotted what they were looking for.

They looked gorgeous. Hairs blown to perfection. Outfits pre-checked. Lips glossed to kissing history. And, tall, model looking legs walking toward us.

TPC strut down the aisle like they planned to show everything what they were made of. Looking like that, made them seem more valuable than gold. They were perfect.

I didn't stop looking at Massie. She didn't me right away, but after a few glances on stage, she spotted me. I waved, but I didn't think she'd wave back. She just smiled, and gave that model-stare.

She winked though.

And that meant she saw me. Just like I saw her.

--xx—

After 1st period, apparently OCD has this "gathering" period every first day of school. Where friends can join up again, new people can meet new buddies, and everyone can just catch up and socialize for a 

whole hour. I planned to spend that whole hour either hanging out with my guys, or exchanging funny summer stories with Massie.

Really, all I wanted to do was stare into Massie Block's eyes, and have her amber colored eyes look back.

--xx—

"Block!" I shouted and waved. I didn't care how dorky I looked.

"Derrick!" She smiled and gestured for me to come over. I saluted to the guys, and Cam whispered, "Good luck". He was already with Claire, and Josh with Alicia.

Hurrying, I scrambled to Massie. Suddenly, my feet didn't seem to work anymore. My brain was too preoccupied with the look of Massie to tell my feet to move.

After a few seconds, I met up with her. We hugged and I gave her a quick peck on the cheek in case any teachers were looking.

"Heyy Derry."

"Now you promised not to call me Derry anymore." I teased.

"Blondey Jockey?" She giggled. Who made up that stupid nickname?

"First, I'm not blonde. Second, I'll take Derry any day now." I laughed.

She laughed, and I cracked up back. I missed her laugh. I hope she missed mine.

"Hi Block." I said, looking straight into her eyes.

"Heyy. Didn't you already say hi to me?"

I ignored her question. "Can I ask you something?"

"Um.. sure." Did she think I was going to ask her to marry me, or run away with me? Not! I'm not that romantic, and definitely too young.

"Why do you always have to make an entrance? I mean, I looked everywhere for you!" I smiled, but I was totally serious. I made air quotes around "entrance", considering no one was really paying attention to her earlier. It was only a few guys who noticed their hawt walk.

She stepped closer to me, and our noses almost touched.

"Derry, do I look like a deck of cards?" She challenged.

"No."

"Then what makes you think I want to get lost in the shuffle?" She finished.



I laughed, and she laughed back. Pretty soon we just cracked up, and I felt like we were the only ones outside.

Well, we were the only ones. Time went by so fast I didn't notice the bell had rung already, and we had to rush to our next class together.

"C'mon, we're gonna be late." I held out my hand, and looked at her, wondering if she would take it or not.

She did.

And with that, we ran off together, hand in hand.

Although I thought we jogged pretty fast, Massie kept me waiting with her heels and "newly painted" toes.

So, on the first day of school, I was late.

But it didn't matter. I saw my Block again.

Pretty sucky right? Kinda sweet, I thought.

Well, that was my update.

Whatever you think, be the good guy, and review.

I'll be the good guy too,

And update tomorrow.

Ciao, hearts and all…

B.b.N.

Just 4 UR KNOWLEDGE.

"Do I look like a deck of cards?"

"No."

"Then what makes you think I want to get lost in the shuffle?"
