"Massie, I can't do this," Claire whispered as they headed downstairs to ask their father about going to the park. "I can't lie to dad."
"Were going to the park, that's the truth." Massie said then pulled her down the last couple of steps.
When they walked into the kitchen, they found Katie coloring and her dad reading the newspaper.
"Hey daddy," Massie said, taking the seat next to him. Her dad looked up from the newspaper and looked at his twin daughters. "Claire and I were thinking about heading down to the park for a little bit, if that's ok with you."
"I want to go to the park!" Katie exclaimed.
"Katie, you're not going." Massie said.
"Take Katie and the dogs with you," William said, folding up his newspaper.
"Are you serious?" Massie screeched, putting her hands on her hips.
"Massie, what has gotten into you?" William said, looking at his daughter. "If you keep up with this attitude, your whole summer will be spent in this house with a nanny."
Katie giggled softly and Claire put her hand over Massie's mouth before she could say anything.
"We will be happy to take along Katie and the dogs." Claire said then pushed Massie into the living room.

After getting dropped off by their father, Massie, Claire, Katie and the two dogs, Bean and Candy, headed into the park.
"Katie, go swing or do something because Claire and I are going to walk the dogs." Massie said, tugging at Beans purple leash to keep him from chasing the birds.
"Take my phone and text us if you need anything." Claire said, pulling out her phone.
"I thought I was walking with you guys," Katie said.
Massie stood there thinking for a minute, she knew that she could not yell at Katie because then she would just tell their dad. She looked around the park for something that Katie could not resist.
Then she found it, a little redheaded boy that was about Katie's age. Katie was a ten-year old, boy-crazed, freak.
"Katie, I see a cute red-head on the swings." Massie pointed him out to her. "Why don't you go talk to him?"
Katie started to smile, "See you later!"
"And that's how it's done," Massie smiled and Claire started to laugh.
"I wonder how dad is going to handle her during her teenage years," Claire said, watching Katie introduce herself to the redheaded boy.
"You'll be off in Harvard by then," Massie laughed and Claire playfully punched her shoulder.
"Who's going to Harvard?" A deep voice asked behind them.
They turned around to see Cam and Derrick standing behind them, looking even cuter than before.
"No one important," Massie replied, twirling a piece of her brunette hair between her fingers.
Derrick laughed then looked down at Massie's little black pug. "Who's this?"
"That's Bean," Massie pick him up from the sidewalk and cuddled him in her arms. "Isn't he cute?"
"Very cute," Derrick agreed and Massie set Bean down on the sidewalk.
"Where's Claire?" Massie asked, finally noticing that her twin had disappeared.
"She went on a walk with Cam," Derrick answered.
"Then I guess it's just the two of us." Massie said, keeping her voice level and calm.
Being with a boy, alone was a first time experience for her. Her palms started to sweat and she silently prayed he did not attempt to grab her hand.
"Let's sit down over here," Derrick gestured to the bench under the giant oak tree.
Massie followed him, sitting down on the wooden bench beside him. She sat up straight and folded her hands together on her lap then thinking that was too proper for a park bench; she leaned back on the bench and let her hands fall casually beside her.
"So you came here from Orlando?" Derrick asked her, he probably sensed that she was nervous so he started small talk with her.
"Yeah," Massie said, looking down at her hands that she had folded back up on her lap. "With my dad, Claire and little sister."
"Cool, do you miss Orlando?"
"Not at all," Massie said a little too quickly.
"Why is that?" He casually rested his arm across the part of the bench. Massie could see the muscles carved in his arms. The brainy nerds her father set her up with never had muscles like that before.
"I don't know I just needed a change."
"I can understand that," Derrick said then paused for a minute. "So, your dad is a cop?"
"Yeah," Massie answered slowly.
Before Massie could continue, Derrick's cell phone started ringing in his pocket. He excused himself then walked away from the bench to talk to whoever was on the phone.
Massie sat there wondering if it was his girlfriend on the phone. Maybe that was why he had to back away from her to talk on the phone. It was because he had a girlfriend and he only wanted to be her friend or what if he planned to cheat on his girlfriend with her. Massie shook those thoughts from her head and told herself that he just wanted privacy to talk to one of his buddies or maybe one of his parents.
Derrick came back then sat back down bench beside her. "Sorry about that," He apologized and put his phone back inside his jean pocket. "Would you want to go to a party with me this Friday?"
"What?" I said, hearing him perfectly but not believing the words.
Did Derrick just ask her to go to a party on a Friday night and more importantly, what kind of party was this going to be? She had a big feeling that this was not going to be the kind of party where you eat chips and play charades.
"Do you want to go to a party with me this Friday at night?" He repeated himself. "Kemp Hurley is throwing the party and his parties are usually the best parties in Westchester."
Massie reminded herself that she was going to be more adventurous and exciting then accepted the offer. "I would love to go with you."
"I will pick you up around ten," Derrick said, smiling his perfect smile at her.
"Perfect," Massie smiled back at him.
This plan was not perfect it was far from perfect.
This plan had so many problems but the main problem was her overprotective, controlling, never lets her do anything, dad.
She was going to this party though, even if it means sneaking out on her ten o'clock curfew.
