ok. chapter 3 i am so happy with the reviews i got. yayyyyyy! sorry, i am like sooo into being super preppy right now.

Claire woke up on a blanket in Massie's backyard. She looked around to find Massie and Derrick were sleeping on the other side of the blanket, and Josh who was sleeping right next to Claire were still alseep on the ground. She slowly scooted away from Josh and sat up. The sun had just come out. The sky was blue, which meant it was just past sunrise. Claire pulled out her Voyager and checked the time. 7:45. OMG! it was 7:45!

"Massie! Get up!" Claire yelled hopping up and walking over to her.

She shook her a few times beofer she opened her eyes.

"Hey Massie. How'd ya sleep?" Claire asked.

"Fine. A little cold but...What time is it?" Massie said starting to freak out.

"It's 7. Fourty. Five." Claire said stressing every number.

"Oh My Gawd." Massie said as she stood up. "Derrick get up!"

Derrick opened his eyes and sat up.

"What's up?" he said.

"7:45." Massie sai.d.

"Josh. Time to get up." Claire said as she started to fold the blanket.

Josh didn't respond. Unless turning onto your back is considered as responding.

"I got this." Said Derrick before he picked up one side of the blanket and pulled it out from beneath Josh.

"Woah! What's going on?" Josh said as he sat up and squinted as he looked up towards the sky.

"It's time to get ready to go. We need to leave by 8:15." Massie said as she handed both blankets to Derrick. "Go get the car started. We'll be out Ay Sap."

Derrick and Josh walked back over to the car and tossed the blankets in the back. Derrick hopped into hte drivers seat and started the car.

Massie and Claire both walked to the side door and Massie unlocked it. She quickly typed in the pin code into the system and kept the alarm from sounding.

"Why didn't we do that last night?" Claire asked as they ran up the stairs into Massie's room.

"Because Josh couldn't go home" Massie said as she zipped up her bags and ran into the bathroom. Claire zipped up her bags to and pulled out her phone. She hit speed dial number 2 and put the phone to her ear. 1 ring, 2 ri-.

"Hullo?" Josh said.

"Hey! Can you and Derrick help us with our bags?" Claire asked as she walked into the hallway.

"Yeah. We'll be right there." Josh said.

"Thanks. Luv ya. Bye." Claire said.

"Love ya too. Bye." Josh said before he hung up.

Claire walked down the stairs and over to the front door. She opened it and lead them up to Massie's room.

"Massie, Alien life forms present. Are you decent?" claire called as she walked into the room.

"NO! I dont have my make-up on! Gawd Claire!" Massie said before cracking up at the horror struck looks on the guys faces.

"I'm just kidding. I'm decent." Massie said as she walked out of the bathroom.

"they're taking our bags to the car." claire said as she pointed over to the 5 bags at the end of Massies bed.

"5 bags? that's a new record Massie." Derrick said as he grabbed two of them.

"Oh no. the big one has the bodies of the people I murdered in it." Massie said.

"That's sarcasm Josh." Claire said jokingly.

"Haha. Hey Massie, got any Advil?" Josh asked as he pushed his hand through his hair.

"Yeah. One Sec." Massie said as she walked back into the bathroom.

Claire followed her into the bathroom and pulled open one of the drawers. Massie had given Claire one of the drawers in her bathroom. Claire kept a spare brush, another make-up bag, and her female products in it. She also kept a spare bag of Gobbstoppers. She had become completly obsessed with them when she broke up with Cam in Junior year. They kept her from eating gummies of any kind. Claire quickly put the brush through her hair and pulled it up into a ponytail. she re-did her make-up and grabbed the bag of Gobbstoppers. She walked out of the bathroom and grabbed one of her bags. She walked out to the car and set her bags down near the trunk. Derrick was trying to get all the bags in. Josh and Massie were leaning against the car.

"Need any help?" Claire asked as Derrick finally got Massie's last bag in.

"How many bags d oyou have?" he asked.

"Two. But one's a duffle." Claire said as she pointed to her bags.

"Ok. Your duffle is going to have to stay with you. there is like, NO room left. THANKS MASSIE." Derrick said.

"Your welcome Derr-ick." Massie said.

"Just get in the car, Block." Derrick called as he closed the trunk.

Massie stuck out her tongue and opened the passenger door and hopped in. Derrick slid into the drivers seat and waited for everyone to get buckled. Claire sat on the right side of the back seat and Josh layed his head on her lap.

"You tired?" Claire asked as he looked up at her.

"A little bit. 6 hours of sleep with a hangover doesn't really have you up and jumping." he answered.

"I know. Junior year. crazy." Claire said.

"How long 'til we get to the airport?" josh asked.

"about half an hour. We should be there by 8:45." Claire said.

"I think I'm going to take a nap." Josh said as he pulled his cap lower over his eyes.

"Ok. I'll wake you up when we get there." Claire said. She quickly bent down and kissed Josh before siting back up and looking out the window.

The rest of the ride was interesting. Massie and Derrick talked about what they did last night when they were dancing. Massie of course danced with Claire and then got invied to dance with some guy named Alex. Derrick had gotten a dance with some girls named Marina, Ashley, Megan, and Sarah.

As interesting as this was, Claire couldn;t help but zone them out. She couldn't wait for the bahama's.

When they made it to the airport, They went to pick up their, pre-ordered tickets and checked 3 of their bags. Massie's medium and large bag. And Claire's bag. The three duffle's and Massie's small bag, were going on carry-on. All four grabbed a bag and headed down to security. When they had gotten through they quickly got over to their gate and waited to board.

"You guys thirsty?" Josh asked as he set his duffle down.

"Yeah. you gonna get some drinks?" Massie asked.

"Yeah. what do you guys want?" Josh asked.

"Coke." Derrick said,

"Pepsi." Massie said.

"Vitamin water. I'll come with you." Claire said.

"Ok. We'll be back soon." Josh said as he and Claire walked down to the restraunts.

"I'm so excited." Claire said as she and josh walked hand in hand down the hall.

"Yeah. me two." said Josh as he reached his hand into his pocket.

"Look. Here's a place." said Claire as she walked over to the fridge. She pulled out a coke, pepsi, and vitamin water.

Josh walked up behind her and put his arms around her waist. He kissed her cheek and reached over and grabbed a Dr. Pepper. Claire giggled and Josh walked her over to the counter. They bought the drinks and as Josh got the change, Claire ran away back towards the gate. Josh quickly grabbed the change and ran after her. He caught her about half way and spun her around in the air.

When they got back to the gate, the Attendant was already boarding. They handed her their tickets and grabbed their bags and boarded the plane.

WITH M&D

The flight started boarding right after Josh and Claire left. Massie and Derrick waited for a few minutes but decided to board the plane. They walked from the back of the plane towards first class. As they were passing middle class, they saw something out of place. Alicia and Cam were sitting in the right hand side of the plane. Alicia was looking in a compact mirror and Cam was listening to his Ipod. Massie nudged Derrick with her elbow and pointed over to them. Derrick followed her point and frowned.

'What are they doing here?" Derrick asked.

'I dont know. But it's a problem. Josh and Claire are gonna be POed if they see them. Rembember what Alicia did to Claire when she found out. She like tried to pulverized her. She attacked her after gym in the locker room. that's why they got suspended. " Massie said.

"Yeah. I know. Josh and Cam beat the crap out of each other at soccer practice. It was carzy. When Plovert and I went to break it up they got even crazier. But don't tell Claire. Josh doesn't want her to know." Derrick said as he pushed Massie forward as they kept walking towards first class.

"Same with Claire." Massie said.

"Got it." Derrick said as they got to their seats.

Derrick put their bags in the overhead compartment. He and Massie sat down in their seats and Derrick pulled out his Touch. Massie pulled out her Iphone and putt the speakers in her ear. She started to listen to our time now by The Plain White Tees. As soon as she started on a new song Claire and Josh walked over and handed out their drinks.

"Oh. That was nasty. did you guys see them?" Claire said as she turned to face Massie and Derrick.

Massie looked over at Derrick who still had his headphones in. Massie slowly crept her hand over to his ipod and turned the volume all the way.

"HOLY SHHHOOOT." Derrick finsihed as he pulled the headphones out quickly.

"Please repeat yourself Claire." Massie said.

"Oh. That was nasty. Did you guys see them?" Claire repeated.

Derrick frowned and looked at Massie.

"No. Who?" Derrick said.

"Ok so we're walking through middle class and as we walk by, sitting on the right hand side are these old grandparents or something. and they're like, making out. It was discusting. Claire owes me 10 kisses to get that out of my head." Josh said.

"Oh. yeah. glad i didnt see that." said Massie as she shuddered and Derrick nodded.

"Massie. You won't be able to listen to your Ipod." Claire said as Massie started to put her headphones back in.

"Why not?" Massie asked.

"Because it's also a phone. You have to turn off phone's so they don't interfere with the radio frequency of the plane." Claire said as Josh pulled out his phone and turned it off.

"Oh." said Massie as she turned her phone off.

"You can share my Ipod." said Derrick as he handed her a headphone.

"Thanks." Massie said as she put it in and grabbed his ipod. She switched the sonng from I don't Wanna Be in Love by Good Charlotte. (p.s. I knew them first. I'm 14 now and I've known about the and loved them since I was like 5. so i win.) to Paralyzer by Finger Eleven.

"So. What did you want to tell me." Claire said as she turned to face Josh.

He took a sip of his Dr. Pepper before answering. "Well, you know how I'm going to Italy for soccer." Claire nodded. "Well, I also applied for...Michigan State University!" he finished as he watched a smile break out on Claire's face.

"Oh My Gosh! That is so awesome...Did you get accepted?" Claire asked as she pulled back from the hug she had thrown at him.

"I'm supposed to find out tomorrow." he said. "Or...I have the letter right here." He pulled the envelope out of his duffel and set it on his lap.

"Ahh. It looks just like my envelope." Claire said poking the envelope.

Josh smiled and started to open it excruciatingly slow. He stopped half way and peeked over at Claire. She was sitting on her feet and had her fingers crossed.

"Great Claire you jinxed me!" Josh said as he set the envelope on his lap.

"What? whad I do?" she said as she uncrossed her fingers.

"Look. if you cross your pointer and middle finger that make two. one on each hand. and then your ring finger and your pinki on each hand so if you count them it goes good, bad, good, bad! I'm stuck on bad." Josh said as he showed her.

"Oh No! i did jinx you." Claire said as she put her hands over her mouth.

"I bet a kiss will make it better." Josh said as he leaned forward. Claire giggled and kissed his lips. Josh leaned forward and so did Claire. When they broke apart Josh turned back to the letter.

He picked it back up and looked over at Claire. She had three of her fingers crossed. Josh chuckled and opened the other half of the seal. He pulle out the papers and hid them from Claire's peeking gaze.

"Peeker." Said Josh before he started to read the letter out of Claire's view.

When he looked back over she was practically out of her seat and in his.

"Woah. relax, ClaireBear." said Josh refering to her old IM name.

"It's not ClaireBear anymore. It's LyonsLovR." said claire.

"to bad. ClaireBear was so Cah-ute." said Josh acting girly.

"haha. What's the letter say?" Claire asked as she reached for the letter only to have Josh pull it out of her reach and fall onto his lap.

So you have to imagine this. Josh with his arm out in the middle of the only isle, Claire sitting across his lap, and a stack of papers in his hand.

"What's this?" Someone said as they pulled the letters out of Josh's hand.

"Excuse me. I don't think that's any of your Business..." said Josh as he turned around to look into the face of Cam Fischer.

"What're you doing here Fischer?" Josh asked as he stood up and faced Cam.

"What do ya think? I'm going to the Bahama's." Cam said matter-of-factly.

"Nice answer. Give me my letter back." Josh said putting his hand out.

"Why? I just wanna know what college your going to." said Cam

"I'm not going to college." Josh said.

"why not? not smart enough?" Cam said.

"No. I'm going to Italy. For soccer. Give me my letter back." Josh said.

"Your going to Italy? Me too!" Cam said.

"Yeah. I think I'm going to State actually." said Josh as he grabbed his letter back. He turned around and handed the letters to Claire.

"CLAIRE!" Cam said as he looked over at her.

"What? Oh, your talking to me? You should probably go tell Nikki. 'Cause i dont want to hear it. Go tell her. Now. Go. Leave. No one wants you here." Claire said.

"Oh, really?" said Cam as he looked back towards middle class, where Alicia was walking over.

WITH M&D

Massie and Derrick watched the entire encounter. Once Claire said something and Cam didn't listen Massie hit her Attendant service button. She didn't think this would end well.

Just then Alicia walked by and stood next to Cam. No wait. she knew this wouldn't end well.

WITH C&J

When Alicia walked up Claire stood up to. She looked her up and down and rolled her eyes. Alicia was wearing a Ralph denim mini and a BCBG yellow baby doll top with yellow Havania's flip flops.

"Don't think your so awesome. Your just jealous." Alicia said.

"Please. What do you have that i sould be jealous of? 'Cause if it's your ego, then I'm glad i don't have it." said Claire crossing her arms.

"Woah! Let's not get personal." Cam said.

"Cam just leave." Derrick said, deciding not to just sit and watch anymore.

"Ah. Here we have the backstabber." said Cam spreading his arms over to Derrick, who flinched.

" Cam, just leave. now. He's not a backstabber." Massie said standing up.

"Oh really? Promising your best friend something and then breaking that promise. if you look that up in the dictionary you'll find backstabbing. Synonym: Derrick." Cam said.

"Shut up and go back to your seat Fischer." Josh said.

"Make me." Cam said.

"Bite me." Josh answered right after him.

"Is there anything wrong Miss?" the flight attendant said as she came and stood next to Massie's row.

"Yes. These umm... things, won't stop bugging me and my friends and won't go back to their seats even though we asked nicely." Massie said.

"you never asked nicely." Alicia said.

" 'Cam. Just leave. Now' how nicer do you want me to get?" Massie said.

"please Miss and sir. we're almost ready to take off. please take your seat." the attendant said.

Cam shrugged and pulled Alicia back to their seats. Josh, Claire, Derrick, and Massie all sat back down and Derrick and Massie put the headphones back in thier ears and continued to listen to the end of I Just Wanna Live by Good Charlotte.

Josh and Claire sat back down and Claire looked down at the letters.

"Congradulations! Michigan State University has accepted your application..." Claire looked through the pamphlet. Everything was the same as hers. Except of course, the dorm room number. Not like it would matter.

"Wow. so are you really going to MSU?" Claire asked.

"Yes. I'm not going to Italy if Cam is." Josh said.

"Aww. That is so sweet." said Claire as she entwined their hands.

"Yeah." said Josh as he threw his arm around her shoulders.

"Hello. We will soon be departing for the Bahama's. Please stay seated and buckle your seatbelts..." the announcement started over the speakers. Claire and Josh listened to the rules an where the safety devices were located.

When the announcement was over, Claire leaned her head against Josh's shoulder and soon fell alseep. Josh put his Ipod headphones in and played, Mockingbird by Eminem. He leaned his head against Claire's and was soon also asleep. Both did not wake up until the final PING

"We have landed at the Bahama's. We hope you enjoyed your flight. Don't forget to fly Northwest Airlines!"

Josh sat up and looked around. People were already getting their bags down and heading towards the exit. Josh carefully shook Claire awake and they both got their bags and followed Massie and Derrick off the plane and out into the airport.

"That one's ours!" Derrick said as a suitcase rolled by on the belt.

"No it's not, Derrick." Massie said.

"Yes it is!" Derrick said.

"Well if it was its to late now." Massie said as she pointed to the suitcase revolving back behind the flap in the wall.

"There's ours!" Massie said as a suitcase that looked exactly the same came by.

"Finally!" Josh said as he pulled it off the belt.

"It's exactly the same. how do you know its yours?" Derrick said.

"Because it has Claire's doddle of Bean in the corner." said Massie as she pointed to a small doodle of a tiny pug with a huge 'The Dog' head.

"oh. Ok, we have all the bags. lets go." Derrick said as he pulled them out of hte airport and onto the street.

He looked around and found a guy holding a 'Harrington' sign. He walked up to him and talked to him. he pulled out his wallet and opened it. He flipped it around for the guy to see and the guy handed him something. Derrick walked back over and looked at them.

"What?"

"What did he just give you?" " why did you show him your wallet?" "Where is the car?!" Claire and Massie said.

"Ok. He gave me keys." Derrick showed them the keys. "I showed him my ID to prove I'm Derrick Harrington." "And the car..." said Derrick as he pressed the automatic start button. A white Navigator beeped twice and started. "...is right there."

The four walked over to the car and put their bags in the back. They all loaded into the car. When Derrick went to slip into the front seat. Claire jumped in, from the back, and held out her hand for the keys.

"Please! i've never driven a Navigator before." She said.

"Your lucky your so small." said Derrick as he handed her the keys and hopped into the back.

"Ok. Now, what hotel?" Claire asked.

"The fanciest. duh. how about the one on the shore?" Massie said.

"OkeyDokey." Claire said as she pulled out of the airport and onto the road.

TADA! that is such a long chapter. you r so lucky i love you all.
