I'm sorry for the delay! I came into a block. I sort of still am in the block, but I'll try to work my way out.

Wow, I'm sure speeding up Kristen's relationship with Lex fast...

Massie looked onto the field. The soccer game was over, and her throat hurt from cheering Derrington on throughout the game. Kristen had told her that some parts of cheering were unnecessary, but Massie chose to ignore this. Now, though, Kristen was nowhere to be found.

Claire came running up the bleachers. "Kristen isn't getting drinks or snacks or anything. Maybe she left." Claire put her hands inside the pocket of her red-and-pink striped Gap hoodie.

Massie shook her head. "Why would she leave without telling us? And if she doesn't show herself soon, we are going to go congratulate the boys without her." Massie crossed her arms and pulled a hair off of her pink cotton Lacoste v-neck sweater.

Alicia was scanning the fields. "When Kristen's ready to join us, she will. But I want to get on the fields ASAP. There is no way I'm losing Josh to that Michelle witch. Not even for two minutes." Alicia turned her head to the edge of the field. "Look, there's Kristen. No let's get down there!"

"Hey, she's not even coming this way!" Claire said, cocking her head to one side.

Massie huffed. "Then forget about her! Come on." She led the way down the bleachers, with Alicia close behind. The second they stepped onto the grass, Alicia left Massie and Claire and practically ran towards Josh.

"Where did Kristen go, anyway?" Massie didn't bother to look up.

"She was headed off of the field, far as I could tell."

"Ugh, better not that be that Lex boy…" Claire could see Massie clench her cell phone and cringed. She remembered what a terrible time she had when Massie first found out that she liked Cam, and hoped that Massie wouldn't do the same for Kristen. Claire began following Massie over to where the boys were when Massie suddenly stopped. Claire followed Massie's view to the bleachers. When Massie stepped closer to the bleachers, Claire followed again. She squinted to see what Massie was trying to make out.

Massie gasped. "Under the bleachers! It's Kristen! And Lex!"

"But I thought she left! What is she doing?" Claire didn't know what to think.

Massie gasped again. "Kissing!"

"Kissing?"

"Under the bleachers of all places! With Lex, of all people!"

Claire wondered what Massie meant by this last comment, considering Massie had known for a while that Kristen liked Lex.

"Claire!" Claire turned around and was more than glad to see Cam calling her name. At this point, he was the only stable thing in her life.

Rue crossed her arms. She walked with the rest of her group, too angry to slow down. "Honestly, we're twins! The least he could do is tell me before he goes making out with Kristen under the bleachers!"

Shannon's face was filled with anger. "That girl is such a slut!" Rue thought for a second why Shannon was so angry about it but decided to think about it later.

Taylor turned to Rue and straightened out her hot pink Petit Bateau shirt. "Well, it's not like you didn't see any signs or anything. You saw that he liked her."

"But that's not what I'm angry about!" rue uncrossed her arms and stuffed them inside her blue DKNY Jeans velvet pants

"What are angry about anyway?" Michelle tugged on the short sleeve of her light pink blazer. She was pouting, but not for Rue; she was just mad that she didn't get a chance to talk to Josh before they took off.

"I'm angry that my brother doesn't communicate with me enough,"

"Maybe you'll fell differently when you get a boyfriend," Ana suggested.

"I just want to know about relationships that are going on in the world, especially ones that involve my family,"

"Relationships in the rest of the world are what you have me for!" Ana giggled.

"Yeah," Rue could feel her mood lightening. "But that doesn't change that I'm going to slap Lex across the face when we get home," Rue laughed. The group reached Ana's mansion, decorated with a mix of edgy and elegant sculptures and paintings and painted with bold, bright colors. Ana went straight for the kitchen and got out cans of Diet Dr. Pepper for everyone.

"The maids are on vacation, so we're all alone." Ana tossed her tan leather jacket to the counter on the side. "We can't talk about whatever we want. And I want to update the results of this question: who is the main guy you're after?"

"Still undecided," Rue answered quickly.

"Josh Hotz," Michelle answered just as fast.

"I don't know either," Taylor said. "Maybe that hot boy who moved in next door,"

"What's his name?" Ana asked.

"I have no idea," Taylor giggled.

Rue turned to Ana. "Are you still going to go for Billie Joe Armstrong? Because I think he's a little too…out of reach."

"Not out of reach for me, but regardless. I don't want him anymore, I can't see his face under all that makeup." Ana jumped back when she opened her diet soda can too quickly and foam rushed out. "I think I may go for something a little more low-key, like Pete Wentz."

"Ugh, Fall Out Boy guy? With the monkey?" Rue wrinkled her nose.

"What? The monkey's cute."

"Yeah, except sometimes I can't tell which head is the monkey and which head is Pete."

"Ha ha, so funny. You've made that joke before." Ana turned to Shannon. "So which boy are you going after?"

"Well, he's taken, which makes it all the more fun to attract him." Shannon smiled.

"Who is it?" Ana waved her wands in expectation.

"Lex,"

Interesting.

Oh, and I'm sorry the boys haven't gotten much real dialogue yet.
