Octavian Country Day School
The Bomb Shelter
Tuesday, 4th May
10.30am
Massie plopped down on the chair and swished her feet in the foot massager. The rest of the PC did the same, they suddenly have 2 free periods, The exchange students had gone for a meeting, so the girls were free to talk.
"Ok, this is my plan." Massie insisted.
"Firstly, use the guys to get your confidence back and get back at those LBRs. They are totally into us."
"Given!" Alicia blurted.
"Then, the girls, be nice and friendly. Their the new alphas in OCD, so if we stick close, we'll be the alphas too, which gives us plenty of time to figure out how to make a comeback, when they're gone!"
"Y-y-yeah!" Dylan smirked.
Suddenly the TV hummed to life, and the fuzzy image a classroom came on.
"Ehmagawd!" the girls screamed.
"I thought the bear must have been destroyed in the flood!" Dylan gasped.
"Who knew they would still have ESP classes?" Kirsten squealed.
"Who switched it awn?"Massie shrieked.
"It was me, I sat on it accidentally," Claire offered timidly.
"Who cares, the guys are THERE!"Alicia yelled.
They leaned forward to get a closer look. All their ex-crushes where there, as well as the LBR guys. Dr. Loni was there too. Suddenly they had a swooping sensation, as the camera inside the share bear was lifted up high.
"The workers that investigated the situation salvaged this for me, funnily enough it wasn't damaged. The classes will go on!"
The boys clapped supportively.
"Right, so today's topic is Let the Past Bury the Past…or Not!- So who would like to start sharing something that happened, but you haven't quite gotten over yet
Cam raised his hand, and the share bear was tossed over to him. They found themselves staring at a leather jacket.
Claire felt as if she was about to puke.
"This is about Claire," he said nervously, "Not so long ago, she kinda broke into my journal and read it. She found out about Nikki and…"
"And?" prompted Dr. Loni
" And, I found out, so at the party, we broke up. I don't trust her anymore, and it seemed pointless to continue on with the relationship."
"Well, why do you think she read your journal?"
" I have no idea, maybe she was bored."
"Honestly, Cam! No, it was probably because she felt insecure. Maybe you haven't been such a good boyfriend. Especially with the re-gifting."
"How would she have known, or anything?"
"Maybe she overheard you boys talking. Anything is possible! So do you still have feelings for her?"
Cam shifted in his seat. " Maybe…I'm still a little mad. Anyway, Derek, catch!"
All they saw was his brown shirt.
Claire bit down on her pinky nail. Massie's face betrayed no emotion.
" There was Chris. I was right beside her. CHRIS I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!" Derek imitated Massie while the PC gasped.
He went on to explain the night in detail, and concluded
" All the 7th girls do is play mind games, dude! They say they like you and then go off with another guy, It's really frustrating. They're really immature, while the 8th graders are…sophisticated."
"Maybe Massie was playing hard to get. She probably likes you more than she lets on. You should journal about it, and instead of letting it become an emotional barrier between the both of you, talk it out and let it make you two stronger. Do you really like the 8th graders better?"
"What difference does it make, she's over me and all over Sean," he mumbled, and tossed the bear over his shoulder.
Everyone air clapped for Massie, but Massie refused to let this become a victory.
"Shhh!" She hissed.
"We'll continue when Derek feels more comfortable with this issue, now Chris, what would you like to share?"
Dylan covered her face in utter humiliation and moaned.
"Well, I thought Dylan was a cool girl. A little guy in a girl never did any harm till I saw her. It was like hanging out with Shrek and I've been sending her pig pictures"
"So have I!" Kemp added.
"Why?"
Chris was at loss for words while Kemp just snickered.
"Gentlemen, it's high time for you to translate your emotions into words, not actions!" Dr.Loni cried in despair.
Claire reached over to give Dylan a hand squeeze, while Josh spoke.
"I'm fine with Alicia, she acts like a girl and we get along. I don't think we'll have problems. She's hot and so not insecure."
Alicia grinned, until she saw Massie glare at her.
"I thought you would end things with him?"
Alicia thought quickly.
If she told Massie, would she sympathize or throw her out? And if she was out, she would still have Josh, but then, she'd have no girlfriends, or at least popular ones. But who said Massie would remain on top forever?
Alicia shook the turmoil out of her head and swore that she would buy the latest Marc Jacobs bag to console herself for lying to Massie.
"I did! I did text him, but he's so proud, probably putting up a brave front for his friends and Dr.Loni. And so he'll get good grades in this class." Alicia lied, adding an eyeroll for believability and sighed inwardly when Massie smiled. "We'll find you a new, humble HART in no time."
Then she reached for the remote and switched it awff.
"We have business. We can watch another time. What time is it?"
Dylan checked her custom made Gucci watch,"It's 10.38 exactly." A proud smile spread across her face.
Massie nodded and tapped into her Palm Pilot.
State of the union
In---------------Out
Sean------------Derrek
Exchanges----locals
Wedges--------Stilettos
Co-ed-----------all girls
Without a word, she went over to a shoe rack, where Skye had stored 20 different pairs of shoes, as a gift. Speaking of gifts, the DSL Daters had also stocked up on bags, one from each of the following brands, Gucci, Marc Jacobs , BCBG, Prada and Louis Vuitton handbags, Juicy Couture and Ralf Lauren totes and a LeSportSac sling, that Massie suspected was Kristen's. Massie picked out a pair of wedges, and slid them on, pleased with the effect.
"We're fighting a war here," Massie clapped twice for effect, " We need to make sure the guys go down. So, everyday, dress fabulous, make the guys jealous, get a hot boyfriend, preferably you ex-crush's counterpart."
Dylan burped, "Done!" And everyone cracked up.
Claire bit down on her thumbnail. Honestly, was Massie really over Derrington? As if Massie could read her thoughts, Massie told her in a softer, gentler tone," It doesn't matter if you're over Cam or not, just act like you are. You were the star of Dial L, so act like it!"
Then she continued, "And we have to get revenge on them, they're so nawt gonna get away with dumping us like they did. And for that, we have to watch every episode of ESP there is, so we can tell when there are any pre-dump signs, which, " She narrowed her amber eyes, " Is nawt supposed to happen. We are gonna throw them down to the LBR pile faster than you can say Layne." Claire coughed.
"Alicia, get the worst gossip on the guys, Claire, get me Todd, once we get home. I need him. Dylan, I need you to convince your mom to dedicate an episode of her show to us, so we can say what we need to say, Kristen, get the room-decorater that did the deco on Merril-Lee's VIP room, and order the things i need to make this room seem like the latest Marc Jacobs bag. All this by tomorrow. And do nawt let the exchanges know about it. Anyone who does not do as i have instructed will be excluded from any PC activities for a week. Ah-greed?"Massie snapped impatiently.
"Ah-greed," the others echoed.
