Called her for the first time yesterday
Finally found the missing part of me
I felt so close but you were far away
Left me without anything to say
Now I'm speechless, over the edge
I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this Lovebug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this Lovebug again

"I honestly don't know what he sees in her." Alicia said, motioning towards the table where Mr. Jackson was sitting with one of the English teachers, Ms. Isailovich. "I mean, she isn't even that pretty."
"And she's super boring." Massie agreed, bobbing her head as she took a bite of her sushi. "Trust me, I had her freshmen year."
"Ah-greed." Alicia smirked, glancing at the curly blonde haired teacher with envy.
Claire rolled her eyes and sighed, "I actually think she is pretty."
"That's why you're not as popular as us." Massie stuck her tongue out jokingly and laughed. "No offense."
"None taken." Claire shrugged and glanced down at her meatloaf. "Is this even considered food?" She took a piece of it on her fork and jiggled it around and put it under Dylan's nose.
Dylan took a bite of it and gagged. "No." And everyone giggled.
"Hey, guys sorry I'm late." Kristen appeared at the table, slamming her books onto the table and sitting down next to Claire. "I had a meeting with—"
"Some big important guy." Massie said sarcastically. "You don't have to explain." And smiled in the direction of Kristen.
Kristen let out a nervous giggle and took a look at Claire's tray. "What are you eating?"
"Nothing." Claire said pushing the tray away from her. "I thought I saw it move."
"Ew." Everyone said at the same time.
"Who's that?" Massie asked, pointing towards a girl dressed in a preppy casual outfit, all from Ruehl.
Alicia shook her head and said, "I can honestly say I have no clue." Before returning her attention back to the table Mr. Jackson was sitting at.
"Laura! Over here, you can sit with my friends." Kristen yelled from the table motioning the girl over. "Hey!" She gave the girl a hug, and TPC got a closer look. She was short, probably only around five feet and had long blonde hair with a streak of pink in it. "Guys, this is Laura. She's Dune's cousin and is going to be here for the semester."
"Nice to meet you," Claire smiled warmly at the girl. "I really like your shoes." She motioned to Laura's hot pink Keds.
"Thank you." Laura replied and waved at the others. "Hey."
Alicia snapped back from starring at Mr. Jackson's table and mumbled a 'Hello' before excusing herself.
"I like your outfit." Dylan smiled at her noting the jeans with a tan tank top under a blazer.
"Thanks." Laura started to sit down in Alicia's seat before Massie glared at her.
"Just because she got up doesn't mean you can sit there." Massie said starring the girl down with her amber eyes and adding. "Go sit in the empty seat next to Dylan."
"What are you my mother?" Laura asked returning the glare and letting out a sigh before she sat down next to Dylan.
"Difference between me and your mother is I'm nawt fat," Massie replied coolly before saying, "So, I know it's a bit early, but, I think we should throw a Valentines party."
"Ooh, I like the sound of that!" Dylan agreed, clapping her hands and smiling.
Claire smiled, "Good idea, Mass. I mean since it's the last year that we'll all be together."
"Ugh, don't remind me!" Dylan said slouching in her seat.
"I think it will also help you, Claire, find out who your secret admirer is." Massie said, smirking at her friends.
"You have a secret admirer?" Laura asked, they all almost forgot she was there.
"Why do you sound so surprised?" Massie snapped.
Laura sighed, allowing a few pieces of her hair to blow up and pulled her blazer closer to her body, "I'm not surprised. Well, I am. It's just I wouldn't expect someone in High School to write a love letter to someone. You dig?"
"It is kind of weird." Dylan agreed.
"Whatever." Massie rolled her eyes and glanced at her watch. "Lunch is almost over, so I think we should continue this discussion about the party at my house tonight."
"I have tons of homework." Kristen complained, glancing at the books that were stacked next to her.
"It can wait." Massie replied, glancing at the new girl. "You can come if you want."
"I actually should go straight home because—"
"Darn." Massie replied, snapping her mirror closed after she applied some glossip girl. "Oh well."

"Problem." Derrick slid his tray next to his best friend, Cam Fisher and sighed. He was so nervous, he could barely breath. He promised Dylan he wouldn't tell anyone that they were hooking up behind Massie's back, but it was eating him alive, he couldn't decide who he liked better. Even if that sounded shallow and even if they decided not to hook up anymore.
"I think I'm falling for Dylan." Derrick whispered, Cam could barely hear him and had to lean forward to catch his words. "I don't know what to do." He put his head down low and pushed his tray away, not hungry. He couldn't believe this, here he was dating the hottest girl in school and he was falling for her best friend.
"What?" Cam almost choked on his food, sitting up straight.
Derrick shook his head and put his hands to his temple, telling the story of what happened between him and Dylan over break. "Yeah. I seriously don't know what to do man."
"I think you need to tell Massie. Take a break." Cam said honestly. "Massie doesn't deserve someone to treat her like shit, she needs someone who will treat her like a queen..." He trailed off.
"I'm not treating her like shit." Derrick replied, offended.
"You think you aren't." Cam said, starring at his friend and adding, "But you are. Cheating is treating someone bad."
"Shit." Derrick mumbled and said, "I don't even know how it happened."
"What I don't understand is," Cam started, glancing at his friend seriously. "why would you cheat on someone? If you feel an attraction towards someone else, why cheat? Break up with the other person."
"I didn't even know I felt like this about Dylan," Derrick said shaking his head sadly. "until I kissed her that is. And I like Massie a lot, I always have."
"Like I said earlier, take a break from Massie." Cam said, looking down at his hands. "If you care about Massie's feelings."
"I do." Derrick replied honestly, he really did care about Massie. He was just confused, he didn't know what to do. "And I was going to take a break from her, I even planned on telling her this morning."
"What happened?"
"I chickened out." Derrick groaned, putting his head on the cold table and slamming it against the table.
"You've got some serious thinking, man." Cam patted his shoulders.
"I know."

"So where are you from?" Dylan asked Laura, the girl that sat with them at lunch earlier that day.
"Indiana." Laura said, rolling her eyes. "There was nothing there besides corn. And all my school cared about was like, basketball. Basically, their idea of fun is drinking til you vomit and getting high at random parks."
"Ew." Dylan giggle, taking out her water bottle and sipping from it. "Do you really have to go straight home today? Or were you just saying that to get out of going to Massie's."
Laura laughed and lit up a cigarette, blowing a bit of smoke in Dylan's face. "I'm actually planning on smoking a bit and chilling out from a day in hell." She winked.
"Oh," Dylan said, flipping her hair out of her face and smiling. "I see."
"I'm sorry if that offends you." Laura said honestly, looking at Dylan and laughing. "Oh my god." And pointed to an area behind a SUV. "Isn't that your friend?"
And sure enough Dylan turned to find Alicia making out with Mr. Jackson.
Ew.
"Whoa, I could've gone the rest of my life without seeing that." Dylan giggled and turned away from the sight. She noticed Laura was still starring at the two and pulled her away. "Wow."
"Scandalous." Laura said in a sing-song voice and chuckled. "Wow is right. Things like that don't happen back in Indiana. Well, they probably do, I'm probably too high to realize it."
"Pot head." Dylan chuckled, and linked arms with her new friend. "Need a ride home? My driver can find your house if you direct him."
"Sounds good, lead the way." Laura replied throwing her cigarette down to the ground and stomping on it.

MR. JACKSON'S SUV
3:10 P.M
In Alicia Rivera's entire life, she's only had one serious boyfriend, Josh Hotz. She had her share of flings and crushes, but Josh was the only one she'd dated. And now, she was standing besides her teacher's car, making out with him. She'd never felt this big of a spark between any of the other boys she's kissed, he made her forget about everything.
After a few minutes, Mr. Jackson, came up for some air and pushed a piece of her hair behind her ear. Smiling down at her he said, "We shouldn't be doing this, we both could get in a lot of trouble."
"I don't care," She brought her face up to his and kissed him again, getting lost in the moment and wrapping her arms around his neck, bringing him closer.
She felt his hand slide down from her back, and she pushed them back up. "Not now." She whispered and kissed him again. She would've felt like complete trash if she let him feel her up outside a car that was outside the school. Anybody could walk back and she was scared enough. Maybe that was what was making her heart race, the thought of someone walking outside and spotting the two of them.
"Okay." He whispered back, kissing her neck and leaving a small mark on it. He returned his attention to her mouth, and she felt like she could melt on the spot.
She pulled away and starred at him, unsure of what was happening. Was he just some creepy guy who used younger girls? Hell, right now she didn't really care, but she still couldn't help but wonder.
"I should go," She stopped and smiled up at him, getting cold. "I'm freezing, and I have lots of homework."
He groaned and said, "Now?"
"Yeah." She replied with a wink and kissed him lightly, "There's this teacher, Mr. Jackson, and he is so mean he gives me so much homework. It's kind of unfair."
"Wow what a jerk." He joked, glancing up at the sky which snow was now falling from. "I love it when it snows."
"Me too." Alicia agreed and then added, "Well, sometimes." And wrinkled her nose, followed by a laugh. "Okay I really have to go now."
He pulled her in and stole one last kiss and looked around to make sure no one was watching, still. "Alright," He brought her in for a hug and said. "We'll have to do this again."
She started to walk away and turned around to reply, "Soon." And blew him a kiss.

MASSIE'S BEDROOM
7:56 P.M
"Well don't you look happy." Massie smirked in the direction of Alicia and let out a giggle.
"You guys can't tell anyone this, no matter how much gossip points you get for it." Alicia glanced at her friends.
"We won't." They all agreed, leaning in to listen.
"After school today…" Alicia started, unsure of herself but then flipping her dark hair off her shoulders and smiling. "I hooked up with someone."
"Who?" Kristen asked, sliding closer and then saying. "Ew, please tell me it isn't Josh and Alicia round two."
Alicia shook her head and said, "No way." Acting disgusted she made a gag nose.
"Cam?" Claire squeaked, tilting her head.
"Opposite of yes." Alicia rolled her eyes.
"Well then who?" Massie demanded in a tell-me-now-or-I'll-hurt-you voice but topped it off with a smile.
"You guys seriously can't tell anyone." Alicia pleaded and then said, "Mr. Jackson."
"Ehmagawd!" Massie squealed starring at her friend like she just said 'Coach is on sale for 5 dollars a purse.'
Kristen sat there, her mouth hanging open. It took her a few seconds to gather herself and say, "Alicia he's our teacher."
"I know." Alicia replied, blushing and then let out a nervous giggle. "But, I mean he's only like five years older then us…"
"He's still our teacher!" Claire yelled, making everyone turn to look at her.
Massie just shook her head, and smirked, noticing that Alicia was uncomfortable she said, "Let's talk about something else, shall we?"
Dylan nodded her head in response, "We shall."
"Valentines day is a month and a half away." Massie started, picking up a purple binder from the spot on the floor next to her. "Which means we really need to start planning if we want somewhere cool for the party."
"What party?" Alicia asked, having missed that part of the conversation during lunch when she excused herself from the table. Where did she go anyways?
"We're throwing a Valentines party, since it's our last year together." Claire said, wiping a fake tear from her blue eyes and frowning.
"It'll be the biggest bash." Kristen added while Dylan nodded her agreement.
"Cool." Alicia said, leaning back.
"I'll of course be in charge of the guest list and calling places." Massie said with a 'duh' eye roll.
"I'll do food and decorations." Dylan said, smiling.
"How about you do just foods?" Massie said, writing it down in her binder. "And Claire and Kristen be in charge of decorations."
"Alright." Dylan said agreeing.
"What about me?" Alicia asked.
Massie brought her pen up to her lips, thinking. "Invites. Spreading the word."
"Perf!" Alicia clapped her hands.
"What day are we having it?" Dylan asked curiously.
Alicia replied, "We should have it the day after Valentine's day."
"Yeah that way couples don't have to miss out on some fancy dinner." Kristen said, smiling.
"Then it's settled." Massie said, closing her binder. "We'll have 'weekly meetings' to discuss how the plans are going."
"Done." Kristen stuck her hand out for the others.
Dylan was the second to put her hand out. "Done."
"Done."
"Done."
"And done." Massie said, being the last one and smiling.
