OCD

Geography Class

Tuesday, May 4th

2:29 p.m.

The girls sat there, Claire and Massie looking, or rather thinking of all the Briarwood boys they know. Picturing them each once at a time, trying to picture one or two actually, cute guys. Trying and failing. Massie pulled out her cell and began to shake it, signaling the Pretty Committee to take out their cell phones.

Massie: we have got to think of somethin

Claire: i no, im dying!

Kristen: srry, we r thinkin

Dylan: we r tryin

Alicia: lets keep tryin, mayb we'll think of something

Claire: we better hurry or our plan wont work

Massie: dont wrry everything will b ok

Claire: u had a break down this morn didnt u? i mean if i recall

Massie gasped, "What did you say?" She demanded. The girls giggled, and were joined by Cam, Derrick, and Josh. They didn't even know what they were laughing about. Massie turned an shot a deadly look at the Pretty Committee, then turned to the boys and gave them a look that said 'What are you laughing at?' with enough force to make them shut up.

Claire smiled a 'know-it-all' smile, "You want me to repeat myself?" Claire questioned with mock innocence. "Silence, ladies!" Mr. Miner demanded, "Some people are trying to learn instead of texting on their phones, while I am teaching." He glared at them.

The girls giggled and looked around like they didn't know what he was talking about. "I know that you text everyday during class, and shaking that phone Ms. Block, disrupts my class, and makes everyone aware that you are using it." Massie smiled, she always liked to be the center of attention. The rest of the group joined in, they weren't exactly against attention either. "Well, how else are Alicia, Kirsten, Claire, and Dylan supposed to know it's texting time?" Massie asked in a questioning, 'isn't it obvious' tone.

"Girls would you like to spend another after-school detention with me? I am tired of the texting and constant interruptions." Mr. Myner asked. "Claire has plans with her new bf tonight, and she needs to get ready, we can't." Dylan stated, and shoot everyone a 'go along with it' look. "Gawd Claire, you told Dylan you had a date, but not the rest of us?" Alicia asked impatiently. "Actually, I didn't tell anyone, so Dylan how do you know?" Claire curiously asked. Then looked at Dylan questioning her statement.

"Oops, sorry, I was bored." Dylan started to answer not knowing how much to add. "That still doesn't answer my question." Claire said waiting for a good answer. "I read your texts while you were in the Estate, getting supplies for the Sleepover, you shouldn't have left your phone." Dylan responded. "Well, how was I supposed to know you guys would read my texts?" Claire shoot back.

"I'm sooo erasing all my new texts, it's not safe to leave them in the phone inbox, someone might read them." Claire mumbled, but still loudly enough for people to hear her. And as she said the last part, she shoot Dylan a 'Massie look', which kinda scared everyone. Everyone knew they live next door to each other, but who knew they could shoot the same looks.

Massie giggled, "You guys are acting sooo im-mature!" she choked out. "Sooo, Claire, tell us every-thing." Alicia said, getting in on the act. "Who is he?" "What's he look like?" "Is he nice?" "Does he tell you everything?" Alicia questioned, and on the last one, all of the Pretty Committee's eyes turned to Cam.

"Mr. Myner ,may I go to the bathroom?" Claire asked desperately. "No, not now that you disrupted class, since you can't come to after-school detention, you can all come at lunch." he responded. "Great, what are we going to do to help the environment this time?" Kristen asked madly. "Ms. Gregory, is there a problem?" their teacher asked, in a 'no nonsense' sort of way. "Well, sir, I didn't say anything, I wasn't disrupting class." she answered quietly. "Where you not texting?" he asked her, not letting her off the hook. "I was." she answered defeated. "Mr. Myner, can we ummm, have after-school detention instead of lunch, Claire can get out of her date. Right Claire????"

"Fine, thanks a lot, now I have to call him and tell him I'm canceling our date less then twenty-four hours before it's scheduled to occur." Claire complained. "Okay ladies, you can come after school, I'll see you then." He answered.

"The bell is going to ring in a few minutes, you may have the last few moments to yourself." He said. "Thank Massie, Alicia, Claire, Dylan, and Kristen." he said in a not very happy tone, and shoot them a even more unhappy look.

"Okay, Dylan that was good, everyone, way to go along." Massie confirmed approvingly. "Umm, Massie I wasn't making that up..." Dylan said unsure of how much more to say. "Wha-" Massie started, but just then Cam, Derrick, and Josh can up. "Do you guys always make that much trouble?" Josh asked playfully. "Yeah." Alicia said. "And you guys have had detention before?" He asked completely amused. "Yeah, last Monday, we skipped class." Alicia said like it was something they did all the time.

"So...who are you dating?" Cam asked quietly. All heads turned, and Dylan opened her mouth, but then thought better of what she was going to say, and closed her mouth. "No one knows his name, except Claire." Dylan answered. "But, you read her texts, how can you not know his name?" Cam asked suspiciously. "She didn't exactly calling by his name." Dylan choked out between giggles. "What's that mean? What did she call him?" Cam asked, waiting for Dylan, or anyone rather, to answer his question. "Don't answer that." Claire said quickly. "She called him 'dreamboy'." Dylan answered before bursting into giggles.

"What? It's an inside joke." Claire defended herself. "And if you had just asked, Dylan, I would have told you." Claire continued. "Best Friends tell each other important facts of their lives without having to find this kinda stuff out by snooping." Dylan shoot back. "So do boyfriends and girlfriends." Claire murmured.

Everyone turned to Claire, she had murmured it just loudly enough for the Pretty Committee to hear, but not the boys. "huh?" Derrick said. "Don't worry bout it." Massie and Kristen said at the same time.

"What if we wanna know what she said?" Cam asked. Just as Massie opened her mouth to say something a phone buzzed. Massie, Alicia, Claire, Dylan, and Kristen took out their phones to see who was getting texted.

"It's me." Claire said excitedly. "Hold on, let me respond." Claire said.

"What was that about?" Kristen curiously questioned. "We're going out at 6:15 tonight." Claire answered. "Who is he?" Alicia asked, with a serious look on her face. "His name is 'dreamboy'. "Claire said with a smug look on her face. Massie turned to Claire, glared at her, and said "Who is he?" forcefully.

"I'll tell you when the guys leave." Claire answered, and nodded at Massie as to say, when were alone, and after I tell you I'll tell them. And with that the bell rung, signaling the end of that period.
