"So what should we say?" Derrick asked the boys.
"Ask if Alicia is going to the movie!" Josh demanded.
"Josh of course Alicia is going she is in the clique, Massie, Alicia, Dylan, Kristen, and Claire." Cam told Josh.
"Wait, but Alicia told me that since now that they're sophomores they're giving up on the whole "pretty committee" thing, Massie is still the alpha but they're all normal now." Josh told Cam.
"I'm so confused," Derrick told them. Then he called Claire and she told them that she would pick them up in ten minutes.
They got to the mall and decided upon a completely scary movie. Derrick sat next to Massie and Claire, and Cam sat next to Claire and Josh. In the middle of the movie Derrick's phone beeped it was a text from his sister he was in shock since when did his sister call him? It was telling him to be Massie's friend to get her away from Kemp. Derrick was thinking about what she told him to do and reached into the bucket of popcorn, Massie's hand was in there too and when there fingers touched Derrick freaked out and pulled his hand back to quickly and knocked his drink all over Massie's white shorts. She stood up immediatley and shrieked. Every head in the movie theatre looked at them.
Massie grabbed Derrick's hand, "Come with me." She hissed. As soon as they got out of the theatre she burst into a fit of laughter. Um bi-polar much? "You should have seen your faced, you looked like someone peed on your leg." She started laughing again.
"I'm confused first your all angry then your laughing and talking about peeing on peoples legs, what is going on with you?" Derrick asked clearly confused.
"Well let me explain, if people saw that I thought it was funny that you spilled iced tea on my $300 shorts they would freak out, I wouldn't be the all powerful alpha anymore, people expect me to be a brat, so I am, that's why I pulled you into the hall, I trust you." Massie explained, "Now listen I'm going to go get some ice cream or something because scary movies creep me out, tell everyone I'm cleaning my shorts I'll buy a new pair and be back before credits, toodles." Massie then trotted off leaving Derrick wishing she was still there, he liked her so much more now.
Derrick walked back to his spot in the movie theatre in a love daze, "What happened this time?" Claire whispered. Knowing the look that was on Derrick's face.
"I was touched by an angel" Derrick whispered. Claire covered her mouth to keep from laughing she had never seen her best friend in this state before.-
"Hey I'll come over and help you figure out what to do okay." Claire offered. Derrick nodded his head. Then thirty minutes later Massie walked back in with the same pair of shorts on but now they were clean. The movie was over and everyone was heading out.
"Ehmagawd, I can nawt buh-lieve that I missed ev-ur-ything." Massie complained to Claire once they were out of the theatre then she smoothed out her shorts.
"Yeah, that stinks, but Mass, I'm going to Derrick's house now, so I don't need a ride home tell Isaac thanks for me." Claire told her making sure she wouldn't have to feel the wrath later.
"It's fine Kuh-laire I'm going to Kemp's house anyway." Massie said and then she strutted out of the movie theatre anyways.
About ten minutes later Josh, Derrick, and Claire were at Derrick's house. Cam had to go home because Derrick told him He wouldn't be helpful if he was just staring at Claire the whole time and Josh got to stay because he basically lived there anyways.
"So Derrick I thought you didn't know who Massie was?" Claire said examining her cuticles.
"He didn't so we had an all night study session to help him remember her name, and yes it did take all night because he is slow," Josh explained.
"Yeah and then the next day she totally fell for me and grabbed my hand and it was so romantic I mean it's like we were made for each other or something," Derrick sighed dreamily.
"She was loo..." Claire started to explain the hand holding but Josh slapped his hand over her mouth before he had the chance to crush his best friends hopes and dreams.

So Sammi, I know you don't like replying to these e-mails but your brother is insane and we need your help. I just got home from his house. He completely loves a girl he doesn't know, and the only people who try to help him are Josh and Cam and lets face it, most of the time Josh is acting like Alicia because he hangs out with her too much and Cam just kind of sits and watches normally while eating some sort of snack food. So we know those two aren't much help, andPlovert is always out with Dylan, and then there's Kemp who Derrick keeps forgetting is his best friend. So he needs you.
So Sammi, for me, the girl who helped Derrick get through his awkward teenage years (which he is still going through) without bugging you, please come help I can't handle talking to these idiots anymore. Ta ta for now.
Claire
Claire got an almost immediate reply and was instantly flooded with relief.

I'm on my way, but before I get there hide the snacks from Cam, hide Alicia from Josh, and force Dylan on Plovert because the last thing we need is him helping.
Samantha Rose Harrington
Oh yeah and by the way please mention to Derrick that if his heart is really "flapping" I think he should see a doctor. :D
Meanwhile Derrick sat at home staring at his computer wishing someone would e-mail him so he wouldn't be forced to talk to Josh anymore because all he did was laughing at him and then the screen beeped.
