I'm going to change the way I write this so there won't be dates (as in the day or something) just the point of view. It's tiring to think of a date. (yes, I'm that lazy) and it's easier to write if I don't write that way… so yeah. Here's the next chapter. ENJOY!

Massie's Point Of View

Oh god, will these people ever stop asking questions? It's like being in an investigation room or whatever the hell you call that place. I mean sure, Derrick Harrington hugged me, put me on his lap, told me I was perfect the way I am and kissed me on the cheek, but that doesn't mean anything, right? Sigh. Would it be so bad to engage in a relationship? Would it be easier? Others have a special someone, why don't I have one? Is this just peer pressure? Or maybe… just maybe, I actually like Derrick Harrington?

He seems to make me happier, make me smile, laugh and enjoy life. But what if we break up? How would I feel? What if I would stop thinking about 'what if's? Ugh. I hate thisssss. My friends are still bugging me and I swear, if I could chuck a sock inside their mouths I would.

"WHAT!," I say, or scream if you prefer.

"Massie, we saw what happened between you two. You guys have been getting closer and closer. Do you like him," Alicia asks. Ta daaa! The oh so wonderful question was asked. What should I say? That 'yeah, maybe I do, maybe I don't' or like… just come clean and say that I may actually like him?

"What do you guys want me to say," I ask looking at everyone.

"That you actually do like him," Claire says.

"Why?"

"Because you two are so perfect for each other," Dylan says giving me a pleading look.

"I mean like, yeah… it could be… but… what if… okay. Fine."

"Fine, what," Kristen asks.

"Fine, maybe I do like him. I don't know okay?" That statement seemed to make everything so much better for them. You could actually see them jumping up and down and shouting 'YES!' causing almost everyone to turn to our direction. Including Derrick, whom I give a shrug and a smile at the same time.

"Guys, I love you and all, but could you please stop jumping up and down like idiots? People are starting to stare," I say while covering my face.

"It doesn't matter because for the longest time, you didn't like anyone," Kristen says still while jumping up and down. I had to practically pull them down to make them stop and afterwards, I couldn't help laughing.

"Mass, are you okay," Dylan asks while shaking me to get me to stop laughing.

"Yeah. It's just that you guys looked really stupid. I mean, just for that you jump up and down? Wow. It makes me feel like I'm missing something. Wheeew." I continue to laugh for a few seconds until I notice the glances they're giving each other.

"Why? Did I say something wrong," I ask.

"No. You didn't say anything wrong. It just reminded us of something," Alicia says.

"It reminded you of what?"

"Nothing," Kristen gives a nervous laugh, "It just reminded us about the sleep over that's all."

"What? You guys still sad that I wouldn't let it be co-ed?"

"A bit," Claire says.

"Oh, uhm.. what if I say it's okay to have a co-ed sleep over? What would you guys do?"

"Well, we'd hug you and scream and do what we did a while ago," Dylan said.

"Fine. We could have a co-ed sleep over if you don't do what you did a while ago."

"Eh Ma Gawd! Thanks Mass," they all say simultaneously without doing what they did a while ago.

Jeez. These people are so weird, but that's why I love them. I mean, how would life be without fun and craziness? Boring. Yep. That's right.

Okay, since the sleepover thing has been cleared up and now that I did admit I actually like him, what now? I'm just full of energy right now and I do not want to stay up here. I wanna plaaay! Ugh. That's it.

"Kris, is it okay if I go down there and join them," I ask Kristen.

"I don't think so. I mean they're still conducting the tryouts. Maybe next week when the girl's tryouts will take place," she replies while wagging her eyebrows suggestively.

"Oh come on Kris! People will laugh at me!"

"No they won't Mass. Trust me. You may even be better than half of the girls that play for the school. Please? Just give it a shot?" And at this moment the guys arrive. Perfect timing, right?

"What should Massie give a shot," Derrick asks with a smile. I look at him and oh gawd, he just looks so handsome. Right now, he's not wearing a shirt and I swear his sculpted chest and six – pack abs made my day. I must be drooling right now… Okay ew. That's just gross. Okay Massie, pay attention.

"…. soccer," Claire says. I didn't catch the first part since I was too busy about some 'thoughts'.

"Why not Mass?" Okay. So this must be something about soccer. What did we talk about a while ago with soccer in it? Oh gawd, Derrick you'd be the death of me. What was it? Oh. Right. Tryouts.

"Oh, uhm. Like I said. People would laugh," I reply.

"No they won't. Just try it out okay," Cam says.

"I'll think about it. Is the tryouts over?"

"Yeah. We just finished," Kemp replied.

"Oh. You guys stink. You should really take a bath right now," I say while laughing. The other girls laugh along.

"What did you say Block," Derrick says. He comes closer and closer and my breath hitches and hitches.

"I – I said that you stink," I reply with the most confidence I have left. Everyone watches us with happy smiles.

"Well then. We wouldn't want to be the only ones, do we guys?" And a chorus of yes's were heard. Oh boy.

"Get 'em!"

We screech and as far away as possible. Alicia gets caught by Josh first since she just absolutely hates running. Next comes Dylan who is now in the arms of a sweaty Plovert. Claire's caught next being slung over Cam's shoulder. Kristen being sooo athletic comes caught next and Kemp starts hugging her so tight, there's barely space in between them. So now I look behind me to see who's chasing me. And guess who. Yep. You're right. It's the one, the only Derrick Harrington. And I run as fast as I could.

"Harrington," I shout while his arms find their way around my waist and we fall towards the ground laughing. Him on top of me and me below him. Wow.

We look into each other's eyes and get mesmerized. Our laughter slowly disappears and I heard him murmur 'beautiful' but I can't be too sure. His body's pressed against mine and it just feels so good. Slowly we start to lean in without breaking eye contact. We get closer and closer and closer until…

So what do you guys think? I'm sooo sorry for not updating this sooner. I just got really caught up with school. I'll try to update the next chapter soon.
