The McKenzie Estate

Driveway

Friday, September 21st

11:54 P.M.

Every teen movie Massie has ever seen has been right about how parties look from the outside. Crazy... it was the only word to describe the looks of it, and she wasn't even inside the party yet. She could see a few kids throwing up, from drinking too much, and you could hear the music half a block away. She always imagined a huge party, but nothing this big.

"Do you think Cam is in there?" Massie heard Claire asked, snapping Massie out it. Massie realized she never checked Claire's outfit before they left, she never even noticed at dinner. She was wearing a blush colored Haute Hippi strap T camisole, Marc Jacobs gold sequin mini skirt, and tan Michael Kors pumps. It was Monica's idea for everybody on the cheer team, with the exception on Kristen, Britta, Natalie, and Heidi, to wear sequin mini skirts. Massie secretly wished she came up with the idea, and she knew Claire looked like a 10, but Massie would rate it a 9.8, just because she didn't want to admit Claire was really a 10.

"He's the most popular freshman guy, of course he's in there." Massie said walking through the enormous front door, and into the packed house. She could already smell the beer from the people around her, and the music was blaring to Ke$ha's Tik Tok.

"I hope." Claire said trying to stay close to Monica, she didn't want to be alone with a bunch of drunks in a house she's never been to. She was ready to bit her french manicured nails... just in case :)

"SOVA!" Massie heard a male voice call Monica's last name from the top of the foyer, she followed Monica's gaze and saw a brown haired, and brown eyed guy in Diesel jeans come down the stairs, she could tell it must be Ayden, noticing the famous family resemblance... and she saw his picture in the hall behind the main office that hid the counselor's offices, with all of the pictures of BOCD High's most popular students, otherwise known as, The Hall Of Fame.

"Hey, Ayden!" Monica said stopping in the middle of the crowd, with the PC and her friends following her every move, "There's some fresh meat you have to be introduced to."

Massie hoped that meant her and Claire. If Massie was going to be alpha again, it was going to be with Monica until she graduated, and that meant getting to know a very important friend of her new "friend".

Monica turned around, and to Massie's surprise, pointed to each member of the PC, "That's Claire, the one next to her is Massie, that's Alicia, Kristen, and Dylan."

"I'm Ayden," He said over the music, smirking, Massie had to admit, he was insanely hot, but nowhere near as one of Ayden's brothers, who she really wanted to run into. "But beer is in the kitchen!"


Cam ran his fingures through his hair, and set down the red plastic cup of beer on a table as he cheered on Josh try to beat a senior, Justin White, at beer pong. He never thought of himself as the kind of guy who would drink beer his freshman year, but it was the first major party of the year, and Claire wasn't even here yet, it couldn't hurt to only have a little.

"YES!" Josh shouted when he made the coin go into the cup, earning everybody who was watching out by the pool, chant his name.

"Can we go inside now?" Cam asked impatiently, Josh had a little too much time on his hands ever since Alicia had been acting distant. But just because Josh and Alicia's relationship was doomed to fail, didn't mean his had to be.

"Fine." Josh said taking the hundred dollar bill from Justin, and picking up his beer, "Where's Derrick?"

"Went to find Dylan or something." Cam said checking his phone to see if Claire had texted him yet... nothing.

"Psh, yea, Dylan." Josh said sarcasticly, and "accidently" bumping a tall blonde in a white shirt into the pool.

"What do you mean?" Cam asked, not even caring for the angry wet blonde, who was screaming at Josh.

Josh stopped walking and turned to Cam, looking at him like he had just lost his mind, "Have you noticed that whenever you try to tell Claire you love her, he gets in the way?"

"He hasn't done that." He said, refusing to believe his best friend would hit on the one girl Cam has ever loved, and the one he was determined to lose his virginity to by the end of the night.

"He did yesterday, the two times before that, and today after school." Josh said walking towards the house again, Cam following, "And if it's not Derrick, it's Massie, but Massie does it, cuz she's controlling."

Cam thought about it, Derrick had been acting weird whenever he talked about Claire, when he tried to say he loved her, and when he told him he wanted to lose his virginity to her, he just stared at him, and didn't say anything, but "Yea". Maybe Derrick did like Claire... "He wouldn't..."

"Think about it dude, she's hot, nice, co-captain of the cheer leading team, and not to mention, she's not a brain-dead whore like the rest of the girls in our school!" Josh said, mostly thinking of Alicia. She wanted nothing to do with him anymore, she was always too busy worrying about her popularity to care about him.

The more Cam thought about it, the more it made sense... Derrick did like Claire.


Claire watched Monica walk outside with Liam to talk, Natalie dace with Hayden, Massie dance with Cayden, and Kristen talk to some girls on the soccer team. She took another small sip of beer... it wasn't as good as she thought it would be. Maybe she just wasn't the type to drink.

"Claire!" She heard a male voice call her name over Tie Me Down by New Boyz ft. Ray J. She knew it wasn't Cam, but turned around anyway, and saw Derrington... great.

"Hi, Derrick." She said scanning the room for someone to talk to...anyone who could get her out of a conversation with Derrington. She knew he liked her, but she really had no idea how she felt for him. She loved Cam, but she had always thought Derrick was hot and somewhat sweet in his own funny way, but Dylan was one of her best friends, it would crush her if she ever found that out.

"You look a little bored." He said noticing that she was scanning the room for someone.

"Uh, kinda," She said facing him this time, she noticed his soccer jersey brought out the brown in his eyes, "just a little lonely."

"You want to go outside?" He asked seeing that Dylan just entered the room.

"Sure." Claire said not really caring about her mixed feelings, they were just friends, and going out by the pool was nothing, or at least it was to her.


Monica looked down from the foyer and watched as the already packed house, get even more guests. She couldn't help but feel alone. Liam had just ditched her to get more beer, just as she was about to break up with him.

"So where's the new bitches?" She heard Tiffany say in a cold tone, suddenly by her side.

"What 'new bitches'"Monica asked rolling her eyes. Tiffany never gave up. The girl was the biggest bitch alive, and yet she had no idea. And to think they actually used to be best friends...

"The Pretty Committee, or whatever the hell they call themselves." Tiffany said flipping her hair. Monica glare-scanned Tiffany's outfit for the second time that night, an Alice+Olivia silver sequin mini skirt that was a little too short, LNA white ripped tank that showed off more than enough cleavage, and grey Giuseppe Zanotti open toe pumps. Could she be anymore of a whore?! she obviously wanted to fuck somebody tonight.

"They aren't that bad, just give them a chance." Monica said wishing Monica would have been done with Tiffany after that night at the football game freshman year...

"No, it was bad enough that we had to have Claire,"Tiffany obviously hated that Claire was like Monica in a lot of ways, but it's not like Monica or anybody else cared, "Now all of them?"

"I never said all of them, it's still just Claire." Monica said turning away and walking towards the stairs.

"Well at least she's not fat." Tiffany said, loud enough for Monica to hear, leaning against the Ralph Lauren wall paper. Monica stopped just as she was about to take a step down the stairs, and turned around.

"What?" Monica asked, ready to kick Tiffany's ass if she really just said what she think she said. She had not made herself throw up everything that she ate since freshman year for nothing.

"I said, at least she isn't FAT!" Tiffany said poking Monica in the stomach, just for dramatic affect. By now people at the top of the foyer were watching and whispering.

"At least I'm not FAT and a WHORE!" Monica said snapping the strap of Tiffany's tank top, knowing what was coming next... Tiffany grabbed Monica's hair and pulled hard, Monica grabbed Tiffany's hair and pulled back, kneeing Tiffany in the stomach as hard as she could, knocking her to the floor, but she brought Monica down with her, and after about a minute of fighting on the ground, people now circled around them, mostly cheering for Monica to beat Tiffany, or filming it with their phones, and Monica felt somebody try to pull her away.

"Let me go!" Monica screamed trying to squirm her way out of the tan muscular arms of who was trying to get her through the circle's crowd.

"No!" She heard a familiar voice say. Nolan?!

"Just give me a minute and I'll be finished with her!" Monica shouted at him trying harder to get away from his grasp as he pulled her into the upstairs bathroom and locked the door behind them.

"You already beat the shit out of her!" Nolan said taking a towel out of the cupboard and getting a part of it wet, "And besides, you're bleeding."

Monica looked up into the mirror and saw that he was right. Tiffany had scratched her on the arm, and just by looking at it, you knew it hurt.

"Here." Nolan said grabbing her arm and used a wet washcloth to wipe the blood.

"Thanks."

"I really have no idea why you two were friends when you guys hated each other." Nolan said looking up from her cuts and into her eyes. Has he always been this hot... or is it because we're up close?

"In middle school, we were never like this, we never went anywhere without each other, but after I came back from my cheer camp in California, that was all summer, she was different, and I found out she had hung out with Vanessa Olin." Monica explained, still hurt by the memories of Vanessa.

"Who was Vanessa Olin?"

"The old alpha of BOCD High," Monica said with disgust, she hasn't talked about Vanessa since she got expelled in the begging of Monica's freshman year for releasing three hundred snakes in Principal Sanders' office, but Monica and Natalie were the ones who did it, to frame Vanessa to get her expelled, which obviously worked, "she knew me from cheer camp, but the summer before she brainwashed Tiffany, Vanessa was in charge of not letting the spirit stick drop to the ground, and at lunch, she tripped over my chair, and dropped it, she got banned from the camp, and she set out to make my life a living hell."

"And she knew turning Tiffany into a bitch would make you fall."

"Yea. She's the reason I hate being mean, I swore to myself I would never be like her." Monica said, not knowing why she was telling Nolan all off this, why would he care?

"In the two years we've been friends, I've never once thought you were a bitch." Nolan said like the way Liam used to comfort her before they went out. Did her best friend's boyfriend like her? and was she falling for him? YES!

"It's weird," Monica said trying not to flirt, she could not do that to Annie, she would hate Monica forever if she stole him, "we've lived on the same street for as long as I can remember and I never talked to you until we became friends after you and Annie started dating."

"Sometimes, I think Annie's a little too boring for me, I mean I love her, but... it's just not the way it used to be." He said cleaning the cloth and rewipeing the blood, then looked back up into her sweet and innocent brown eyes, "And I've always secretly liked the girl in 4894 DeMar Street."

Monica felt like she was going to throw up once she heard him say her adress, she used to think he was cute, but found him unatractive because he was younger. She had no idea even what to say, how can you tell your best friend's boyfriend, who just said he's always had a crush on you, and you acted like they didn't exist for years, that you like them back, but you have to turn them down? Just say no? Act like you didn't hear them? Or admit your feelings and make sure you say NO?!

"I know I've never really acted like the boy in 4890 DeMar has ever existed until two years ago, but I realized I'm falling for him." Oops... that didn't come out right ;)


"Have you thought of how you're going to ask Dylan to homecoming yet?" Claire asked as her and Derrington sat watched all of the drunks in the pool make themselves look like idiots from the safety of the pool house's roof.

"Nah," He said, kinda looking annoyed by the question, "Cam asked you yet?"

"No, but I don't think he's going to, everybody knows we're going together." Claire said laughing, Derrick could act like he had no brain sometimes, but she couldn't blame him, after all, he's a guy.

"He should still ask." Derrington said leaning back on his hands more, "Sometimes, I think he doesn't realize how lucky he is to have you..."

Did he really just say what I think he said? "Huh?"

"I know he loves you and everything, but he takes you for granted sometimes, if somebody like you was my girlfriend, I would never want to let her go." Awwwwwwwwwwww! Who knew Derrington could be so romantic?!

"Well, Dylan's a lucky girl to have a guy like you." Claire said not knowing what else to say. Cam... or Derrick? Cam, defiantly Cam!

"Claire," He said trying to get her attention, seeing that she was silently thinking to herself.

"Yeah?"

"I love you." Derrick said looking right into her eyes. Well, he said it faster than Cam. She looked back into his eyes for a few seconds, and leaned in, kissing him, thankfully he returned her daring move and kissed back :)


Cam couldn't believe this, Derrick likes Claire, and he couldn't find either of them. What kind of a crazy world is he living in? Thankfully his phone vibrated. please be Claire!

Claire: out by the pool. come find me ;)

Cam put his phone back into his pocket and handed Hayden his beer as the song changed to Memories by David Guetta, and Massie and Cayden finally gave out on their third make-out session of the night to go mingle. The pool was filled with people in bikinis (heated pool), who were mostly drunk.

"Cam!" Claire called from the side of the pool. She looked beautiful under the small lights that hung over the pool, and moonlight brought out an extra twinkle in her eyes. He could have swore he felt the Earth stop when he looked into her eyes.

"Hey." He said, barley able to talk, she was the most amazing she has ever looked. He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her a few inches off the ground, and when he set her back on her feet, kissed her. When you're in love with the most amazing girl in the world, you have to show it off.

"Where were you?" She asked once she pulled away, wanting to get away from the older girls, who were now, aw'ing at how cute they thought Cam and Claire were together.

"Trying to find you, where were you?" Cam asked, hoping she wouldn't say with Derrick, but he knew she would never lie.

"Uh, trying to find you too." Claire said smiling, trying to cover up the fact that she had just made-out with Derrington, which only made her feel guilty, and wanting more...

"At least we found eachother," He said, putting an arm around her, "Maybe we should go to my place, my parents aren't home..."


I need for my reviews to hit 30 (of positive reviews)for me to post the next chapter, and i also need to know what you want to happen (DRAMA) at homecoming ;) and I promise next chapter will have more of Massie's drama.
