Chapter 2

Massie's Bedroom

4:15 pm

Massie stomped around her bedroom throwing pillows all over. She was so mad about what Claire wanted her to do. Claire told her that in exchange for helping with her math, she would have to make Claire Popular. Massie stomped down to the kitchen. She reached into the package of Godiva chocolates and grabbed one. "Massie, honey, is that you?"her Mom called. "Who else would it be?" "Well, would you be a little quieter. I'm trying to concentrate." Massie rolled her eyes and went back to her room. She decided to call Dylan. "Hello Dylan" "Hey Mass." "Log in on your computer. I'm going to IM you." "Kay Bye." Massie logged in.

Massie wondered if Dylan was mad at her. She was just playing. She pulled out her cell phone and called Dylan. "Hey Dylan. It's Massie. What are you doing?" "I'm eating my cat food Massie." Dylan replied flatly. "Look Dylan, you know I didn't mean it like that. I was just joking. I'm sorry." "Well Massie, you shouldn't joke like that." "Dylan! I said I was just playing! I thought you could take a joke." "I'm sorry Mass. It's not you. It's just that I'm a little emotional these days for some reason. My teachers are giving a lot of homework and I'm up late a lot of times. And….never mind." "Dylan, you know you can tell me." "No, Massie. I don't know if I can." Dylan hung up. Massie rolled her eyes again. Dylan could be really emotional at times. Massie decided to put that aside for later and get ready for Claire. They had made a deal that everyday at 5:00, Claire would come over and they would work on math for thirty minutes and work on making Claire popular for forty minutes. Massie took out some nail polish and some fashion magazines like Seventeen. They would work on Claire's fashion for ten 15 minutes, her attitude for 15 minutes, and anything else she needed for 10 minutes. Massie finished getting everything together and lay on her bed petting Bean. Suddenly, her mom's voice came through the speakers in her room. "Massie, Claire's here." "Coming." Massie took a deep breath and walked downstairs. "Hey Massie" Claire said, holding up a math book, "You want study together." Massie hesitated, "Sure Claire. That's such a good idea. Maybe we could study together everyday." Claire went up the stairs to Massie's room. Massie started to follow, but her mom pulled her back. "See Massie. What did I tell you? I knew you would like Claire if you gave her a shot. She's such a sweet girl." Massie rolled her eyes but kept her mouth shut.
