Conspiracy

Block Estate

Saturday, October 24
7:12 AM

Massie Block woke up, but she didn't open her eyes. She's been doing that a lot. Maybe to keep Derrick Harrington's arms around her for a little while longer. Ever since that night she had the nightmare, she's been waking up in his arms. Everyday, she would wake up in his embrace. She would never admit it, but she loved it. Thankfully, they don't talk about it.

"Aww. They're so cute!" she heard someone say. Why was there someone with them? She recognized the voice. It was Alicia Rivera's. Ehmagawd! We had a sleepover! They can see us! The position we're in!, Massie screamed in her head. She almost fluttered her eyes open, but she didn't want to face them just yet. Or maybe she just didn't want Derrick to let go of her.

"This is so weird." Came a guy's voice. Kemp Hurley. Why is he here? Ehmagawd times ten! We had a co-ed sleepover!

Yesterday, the PC had their first-ever co-ed sleepover. Last week's sleepover, when she got stuck with Derrick, does not count, since they weren't complete. This week, so that Derrick won't be bored or feel uncomfortable and awkward, Massie allowed him to invite Cam, Josh, Kemp and Plovert.

"No it's not! It's cute!" Kristen Gregory said.

"Looks like our plan worked." Cam Fisher said. PLAN?! What PLAN?!

"What plan?" Josh Hotz asked, voicing Massie's thoughts.

"The only reason they're handcuffed together. Last Friday was a setup. It was all part of our plan to get Massie and Derrick together. Handcuff them. We let Sammi in on it, so that she would leave Derrick here. Then we made up a game and hid their key." Dylan Marvil exclaimed.

"This was all a setup? By who?" Alicia asked and Massie could hear jealousy in her voice. A plan she didn't know of?!

"Dylan, Plovert, me and Cam." Claire Lyons said. WHAT?!

"So, who has the key?" Kristen asked.

"My idol. Todd Lyons." Chris Plovert said. They all laughed. TODD?!

"Why does he have the key?" Josh asked.

"Massie would never suspect it. Plus, she would never go in Todd's room." Dylan explained. "So, are you guys in on it?"

"Of course." Alicia said.

"Sure." Kristen said.

"Yeah." Josh said.

"Fine." Kemp said.

Massie was fuming inside. How could they do this to me? If word got out that I fell for a setup, I would be ruined! People would think they could pull one over on me! How could my best friends do this to me?! I will not take this lying down. I am Massie Block. Massie Block would do something about this. Something BIG, to show them they can't do that. I need help, though…well, the only person that can actually help me now is…Derrick. First, I have to get out of this position.

She opened her eyes. Time to use her acting skills.

"Ehmagawd! Derrick!" Massie said, pushing his arms away. His eyes opened, and something tells Massie that he was awake too.

"What?" he asked.

She just stared at him with her piercing amber eyes and silently begged him to play along.

"Oh. Sorry. I had a dream wherein I was hugging…um…Gisele." He made up quickly.

"And you hugged Massie?" Kemp asked, his eyebrows raised.

"Dude. She was beside me. On my other side was Cam. I don't think Claire—or Cam—would be too happy if I was hugging him when I woke up." Derrick explained. Cam's expression was a mixture of horror, surprise and disgust. Claire giggled. Everyone seemed to buy it.

"No I wouldn't be too happy about that." Cam said.

Everyone laughed. Even Massie laughed. She cannot let them know that she knew.

.:~^*^~:.

"Sorry about, you know, this morning." Massie said when everyone left. They were back in Massie's room now.

"No, I get it. Can we not talk about it?" he asked.

"Sure." Massie said, then Derrick noticed a glint in her eye. A mischievous glint.

"Are you up to something?"

Massie gave him one of her infamous I-have-a-plan smile.

"I'm guessing you heard their conversation this morning before we 'woke up'. Am I right?" Massie said, adding air quotes around the words 'woke up'.

"Yes. I heard. I can't believe Sammi did that! Or Dylan! Or Claire! Or Cam! Or Plovert! Cam, yeah, he would practically do anything Claire told her to…but Plovert…"

"I can't believe they fooled me!" Massie said, pacing, dragging Derrick's arm with her. He was just there, sitting on her bed, a frown on his face.

"What's the plan?" he asked.

She smiled again.

"Well…"

(I was so tempted to end it here and leave a cliffie! You guys are so lucky. You better review for this! I love you guys too much to leave a cliffhanger!)

"Do you really do this?" Derrick asked Massie as they hid in one of the bushes beside the guesthouse. Claire left with Cam. Now, they were waiting for Todd to leave with Tiny Nathan, who was waiting outside.

"Shh. Be quiet. Nathan might hear you. And yes. I have done this a lot of times before." She whispered.

"You are so crazy, Block. I like it." He whispered. Massie could feel herself blush.

"Thank you." She whispered just as Todd came out of the front door. He gave Tiny Nathan a high-five before they got on their bikes and left.

Derrick started to stand up but Massie pulled him back down.

"Not yet." She hissed. "Five more minutes. Not to seem suspicious."

He crouched down again.

"What are you going to tell Mr. and Mrs. Lyons?" he asked her.

She took out her iPhone and texted Claire. Derrick read over her shoulder.

Massie: hey, Claire, I need my red Jimmy Choo flats back ay-sap. Can I just get it from your room? We have a copy of the guesthouse keys in the main house.

Claire: Sure

Massie: thx.

"That's what I'm going to tell them." She said.

"Do you have the key to Claire's room?" he asked.

"Yep. Todd's too." She smiled. "Now, let's go." Massie said, hurriedly leading him out of the bushes and to the Main House unnoticed.

"The guesthouse is right there!" Derrick whispered.

"We have to make it look like we were from the Main House!" Massie explained. Once they reached the back of the Main House, they stepped away from the shadows and casually walked towards the guesthouse.

Massie knocked three times. Judi Lyons opened the door. She was wearing an apron.

"Massie! Derrick! What are you doing here? Claire left." Judi said.

"Oh, I need a pair of shoes back from her and she told me I should just get it from her room." Massie smiled sweetly.

"Oh." Judi said, opening the door wider to let them in. "Go on up! I'll just be here. Do you want anything to drink?"

"No, thank you." Massie said. Judi looked at Derrick. "No thanks." He said. They went up to the second floor and Massie stopped in front of a door. She got the keys from her pocket and opened the door.

Surprisingly, it was a clean room. Especially for an eleven-year-old.

Massie thought hard. Where could Todd hide the key?

This key search reminded Massie of Skye Hamilton and the end of seventh grade, when the PC had to search for the key to the bomb shelter. She remembered looking under the mattresses of different Briarwood boys. Under the mattress!

"Under the mattress!" Massie whispered. Together, she and Derrick lifted Todd's mattress.

There it was. The shining key. Massie felt a surge of success course through her, but the plan in not yet done. Massie grabbed it and shoved it in her pocket. They put the mattress back in it's proper place and crept out of the room, locking the door close again. Massie and Derrick stopped in front of the door opposite Todd's door and opened the door, stepping into Claire's room.

"Why are we here? You already got the key!" Derrick whispered.

"I still need to get the shoes! I can't go down there without it!" Massie said, leading him to the closet. She yanked the door open and looked through tons of Keds before finding her Choos. She grabbed it and closed the door. They were heading out when she stopped. Derrick bumped into her. She didn't mind. Her brain was working.

"Give me your phone." She said, holding out her hand.

"Why?" he said, taking out his phone.

"Just give it!" she said and he put it in her outstretched palm. She took out her iPhone and dialed him. His phone vibrated in her hand and she picked it up. Derrick just looked at her like she was crazy but didn't say a word. He was enjoying this. Seeing Massie Block in action.

She dragged him to the bed and left his phone underneath.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" he asked.

"I want to hear if my plan would work. We'll get it back later!" she said and they went out of the room.

"Did you find it?" Judi asked when they made it downstairs.

"Yep." Massie said, lifting her arm so that Judi cold see the shoes. "Thanks, Mrs. Lyons."

"Yeah. Thanks, Mrs. Lyons." Derrick said.

"No problem." Judi smiled as they made their way out of the guesthouse and back to the main house. Halfway there, they saw Claire walking with Cam.

"Hey, Cam!" Derrick called out. "Hi, Claire!"

"D!" Cam said, giving him a high-five.

"Mass, did you get the shoes?" Claire asked.

"Yep." Massie said. "Now we gotta go. I have to prepare for the shopping trip tomorrow. You should too." Massie told her.

"Yeah. I'll go to the Main House later, kay?"

"Sure."

"Bye Cam." Derrick said.

"Bye."

Five minutes later, they were back in Massie's room, her iPhone on speaker. It was just silent at the other end, since they were all downstairs. Judi, Claire, Cam and Jay. Massie was looking out her window, waiting for Todd. She never thought she'd wait for Todd, but here she was. Oh well. She never thought she would get handcuffed to Derrick either. They weren't handcuffed to each other anymore, but they'll have to put it back on later.

"Tell me," Derrick started. He was lying down on the bed. "why do we still have to pretend?"

"Well, since they don't have the key now, they would think they lost it. We have to stay handcuffed so that they would think we didn't have it. Then, they would get all stressed out and paranoid and other stuff because they think they actually lost the key." Massie explained. "Plus, knowing your plan backfired feels pretty bad."

She looked out the window again. Finally. Todd was home.

She heard sound from her iPhone. The door opening and then footsteps.

"So, do you think our plan is working?" Claire asked. Derrick was sitting beside Massie now, listening to the conversation.

"Yeah. I actually thought we could never pull it off. I mean, we're dealing with Massie and Derrick here." Cam said as another set of footsteps were heard. "Hey, Todd." He greeted.

Massie smiled. Things were going perfect.

"What do you want?" Claire snapped.

"The key is missing." They barely heard Todd say. Massie's smile grew wider. Success.

"What?!" Cam and Claire asked at the same time. They heard footsteps again and knew that they were going to go check Todd's room. Massie and Derrick burst out laughing.

"How do you do it?" Derrick asked her after he stopped laughing.

"I'm Massie Block." She grinned.

"Yes, you are. This is so awesome."

"Shh. They're coming back." Massie said, sure enough, they heard footsteps.

"Ehmagawd. Ehmagawd. Ehmagawd." Claire chanted.

"Claire! Breathe!" Cam said.

"TODD!" she yelled. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"I'm sorry! I check it every night! I don't know where it is! I swear on Tiny Nathan that it was there last night."

"Well, how do you explain the fact that it's gone?!"

"Wait." Cam said. "Didn't Massie go here a while ago?"

Massie and Derrick froze.

"Yeah, but why would she go into Todd's room? The only way that would happen is if hell froze over thrice! Plus, how would she know it was in Todd's room?" Claire asked.

"Yeah. You're right. I'm not thinking straight." Cam said.

Massie let out a deep breath.

"What are you doing?" Claire asked.

"Calling Dylan." Cam said.

"Put it on speaker."

"Hello? Cam?" they heard Dylan's voice.

"Yeah, Dylan, could you get everybody? You know, the plan?"

"Um. Okay. Kristen's already here with me and Alicia's with Josh."

A few moments later they were ready.

"Yo, Cam, what's up? What's with the chick call? Seriously, a five-way? I've never even been on a three-way before!" Kemp said.

"Well, Todd lost the key to the handcuffs."

"WHAT?!" Massie and Derrick heard. They laughed silently.

"What are we going to do?" Alicia asked. "Massie is so going to kill us!"

"Well, Dylan, can't you just get the guy to give an extra key?" Cam asked.

"You want me to go all the way to Egypt?!" Dylan yelled into the phone.

"What?" Everyone asked.

"The guy moved to Egypt!" Dylan yelled. "Said he's never coming back to the US!"

"Oh. Crap." Claire said.

"Holy…" Cam said.

"Bullshit." Kemp said.

"Eh. Ma. Gawd." Alicia said.

"What. The. Hell." Kristen said.

"Fuck." Plovert said.

"We. Are. Freakin…" Josh said, but didn't finish.

"Dead." Dylan finished. "We are all freakin dead. Massie and Derrick are going to kill us. Operation Massington is a failure. See you guys at our funerals."

Massie pressed end. Then burst out laughing.

"Wait until you see how they act around us." Massie said. "Wait." She dialed Claire.

"Hello?" she croaked.

"Claire!"

"Massie!" she squeaked. "H-hi! Why are you calling?"

"Well, I need you to do a big favor. Can you check your room? Derrick lost his phone. Maybe it fell in your room when we went there?"

"W-wait." After a few moments. "I found it. It's here."

"Yay! Can you bring it over?"

"Y-yeah. S-sure."

Massie hung up and quickly handcuffed her and Derrick again, just in time. Claire stepped in, looking very nervous. She was biting her nails and looking anywhere but Massie and Derrick.

"Here's your phone." She said, handing it to Derrick. "Thanks." He said.

"Kuh-laire, what's wrong?" Massie asked.

"Nothing!" she said, a little too eagerly.

"You're biting your nails."

Claire looked down, only realizing now that she was biting her nails.

"Oh. Sorry. Force of habit." She gave a weak smile.

"Okay. You sure you're alright?" Massie asked again.

"Yeah. I have to go now."

"Okay. Bye!" Massie called out as Claire hurriedly stepped out of the room.

"Claire looks so freaked out." Derrick said.

"They all are. Wait for the shopping trip tomorrow. Bring the other boys. I so have to see their faces."

"Bet they're absolutely terrified."

"That's what you get when you mess with Massie Block."

"And Derrick Harrington."

So...how'd you like that?
