The Hallway

BOCD

Friday

8:50 am

The five girls strode down the hallway of Briarwood-Octavian Country Day, crowds of students parting for them. Massie walked in the middle of the group, her rightful place as Alpha, with the other girls flanking her.

Not much had changed in the last few years, the other students still quaked in fear if the Pretty Committee had reason to find fault with them. But then again they would jump at the chance to do anything for the most popular girls in school.

As they walked, Massie looked around for any sign of the Soccer Boys. She wouldn't admit it, but she was dying to see Derrick. It was her own little secret that she was falling for the sexy soccer player again, after all these years, and she wasn't about to let anyone else know about it.

"Okay girls, I'll see you in the cafe later." She said, as they reached her locker. The other girls continued on to their own lockers as she opened hers, and admired herself in the mirror she had put on the inside of the door.

"You look amazing today." She told herself, trying to banish any insecurities she had about her appearance.

"Thankyou." Someone said from behind her, making her turn sharply. Not again! she groaned inwardly at the sight of her now ex boyfriend, Kit Sommerton.

"I wasn't talking to you." She retorted, "What are you doing hanging around my locker anyway?"

"I was just waiting to see my girlfriend." He lifted a finger to stroke her face, but she pulled away.

"For the last time Kit, I'm not your girlfriend! I broke up with you more than three weeks ago. I'm sure this qualifies as harassment."

"But Massie, you regret breaking up with me don't you? We are so perfect together."

"No we're not! That's why I dumped you!" Massie slammed her locker shut and turned to leave, but Kit grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"Let go of me!"

"Massie please, come back to me." Kit begged.

"I think you should back off of her." A deep voice said threateningly. She told you to go away, so get lost." Kit looked up at Derrick, a little intimidated by the jock, and quickly walked away.

"Thanks." Massie smiled at Derrick, but he didn't return it.

"Just making sure you're okay." He grumbled, and went on his way, leaving Massie staring after him.

She wanted him so much! How could he not feel the same? The first bell rang, signalling that she needed to get to class. As she headed towards Modern Fashion, she mentally prepared a to-do list.

Plan Super Sweet Sixteen

Ruin Becca and Liz once and for all

Win Derrick Harrington's heart

Get locker re-decorated

Buy a new handbag

Have a mani/pedi

"Mass!" Her guy friend Gabriel called from a seat at the back of the class.

She smiled at him and quickly made her way to the back, sitting down next to him.

"You look pleased with yourself." She said.

"Oh you would never guess how much!" He gushed. "You know Kit Sommerton's sister Cherry, right?"

She grimaced, "Sure do."

"Well, she told Evelyn Sanders that Becca Wilder's brother Jason has a crush on me!"

Massie's eyes widened in disbelief. "Does Becca know about this?"

"No! Nobody is supposed to know. It's extremely hush hush Massie." Gabe smiled smugly.

"Then why are you telling me?"

"Because I know you won't keep it hush hush." He said.

Massie smirked, this was excellent! Right when she needed it, ammunition landed in her lap. If she told the whole school about Jason then Becca would be shamed, and Gabe would get a new boyfriend out of the whole situation.

The teacher walked in, and started calling the role, but Massie continued her conversation.

"But how did Cherry find out?

" She used to go out with Jason remember?" Gabe whispered. " When he broke up with her she never really got over him, so when she heard he had broken up with Liz Goldman she went over to see him. Apparently he went to the bathroom, and she found a diary that she thought was his so she opened it, but all that was written in it was I heart Gabe, over and over again, with hearts around it!"

Massie gasped, this was juicy!

"And then Jason walked back in, and he saw she had the diary, and she was all like: "I think I found your sisters diary." But he started acting all weird, and then she realised that it wasn't Becca's handwriting, but Jason's, so she got all freaked out and asked Becca if it was hers but Becca said she had never seen it before!"

"Wow!" Massie said, "No wonder you're happy! Jason Wilder is gorgeous. Even if his sister is a two faced bitch!"

"Isn't he? You know, I've always fancied him, but I never dreamed he would be interested in me! I thought he was only interested in girls."

Massie was no longer listening, she was glad her friend was happy, but honestly, she had more important things to think about. Like how she could use this information to her advantage against Becca.

When second period art had let out, Massie made her way to the newest cafe in BOCD, cafe et gateau. Soon the other Pretty Committee members joined her, and they quickly selected their low fat muffins and fruit salad.

"Umm, Massie." Kristen said suddenly, as they were about to make their way to their usual table.

"What?" Massie turned, and saw Becca and Liz heading straight for the Pretty Committee's table. Her face darkened, and she stared daggers at the two girls.

"Hurry!" She said, " Get their before they do, I'll distract them."

She watched her friends walking so fast they were almost running, to the table, as she headed in the direction of Becca and Liz.

"Becca!" She called out with fake sweetness, making the two girls stop in their tracks.

"Yes Massie?" Becca replied sourly.

"I hope you're doing okay with the news about your brother and all. It must have been a big shock for you, but I'm sure everything will turn out fine."

Becca stared at her, confused, but Massie just turned and continued along to where the rest of the girls had claimed their table.

"What did you say to her? Becca looks completely dumbstruck!" Kristen laughed.

"Well, what I know is worth, like, a million gossip points!" She said conspiratorially, as all the girls leaned in to hear.

She relayed to them the whole story that Gabe had told her, enjoying the looks on their faces as she got to the end.

"And so I just mentioned a little something to Becca about her brother, and she of course, had no idea what I was talking about."

"Ehmagawd!" Alicia exclaimed. "You wouldn't think Jason Wilder would be, well," She lowered her voice, "Gay."

"He's like, the most macho guy in school." Said Dylan.

"I know right, but guys remember, we have to make sure the whole school knows, Becca will be so shamed."

"Guys, you know if we tell the whole school it will be really embarrassing for Jason." Claire protested.

"Kuh-laire!" Massie rolled her eyes. "Don't you realise he will feel so much better once he comes out. Besides he's just collateral damage."

"Do you really want to ruin somebody's life just because they're collateral damage?" The blond girl persisted.

"Honestly, I don't care. As long as Becca gets humiliated, I'm happy ." Massie snapped. "Now, girls bring your spa gear tonight, we're having mani/pedis at the sleepover."
