Rivera's Residence
Alicia's Bedroom
6:45 PM
Dylan watched Alicia as she applied blush to her cheekbones and fluffed her already fluffed hair. She was kind of jealous of Alicia in a way. She had Plovert of course, but he was always goofing around and never did anything…romantic.
Josh on the other hand planned on spending a romantic evening with his crush. Or at least…one of his crushes. That brought out the green monster in Dylan.
"Which skirt? The blue one with ruffles on the bottom? Or the white one with lace as a second layer?" Alicia held the two skirts that were hanging on hangers up as she walked out of the closet.
Dylan decided to put that green monster away and be nice, "the white one"
Alicia smiled in satisfaction and hung the blue one back up, "I was thinking that same exact thing"
Massie then burst through the door breathing heavy.
"Whoa. Breathe much?" Dylan giggled.
Usually Massie would easily snap back with a witty comment but she was too tired and collapsed on Alicia's bed instead.
"Were you just…running?" Alicia asked in disgust.
Massie was so out of breath that all she could manage to do was stick her hand up in the air and give Alicia a thumbs up.
"Why?" Dylan knitted her eyebrows together.
When Massie finally regained her composure she sat up against the bed's headboard and took a deep breath.
"Olivia told Kemp who told Claire who told Kristen who told Plovert who told Derrick who told me.." Massie took a huge breath before continuing, "that Skye Hamilton is holding a party tonight!"
Dylan let out a squeal and did a happy dance.
"T-tonight?" Alicia stuttered.
"Yeah what's.." Massie was just about to ask what the problem was when she remembered Alicia had a date with Josh tonight, "Leesh go on the date! Even though we'll be totally mi-ser-able without you…we'll deal cause we want you to have fun!" Massie smiled reassuringly.
Alicia sighed in defeat, "Ok"
Dylan was practically bouncing on her toes, she didn't want to be rude and ask to leave to get ready for the party, but she just couldn't wait any longer!
"Leesh can we…" Dylan started, but Alicia cut her off, "go ahead and get ready! I'm pretty much done here anyways"
Dylan jumped in the air, ran over to indulge Alicia in a hug and then sprinted out of her bedroom.
"And…that's my cue" Massie laughed while following Dylan out the door.

Skye Hamilton's Beach House
Backyard
8:45 PM
Dylan and Massie walked through the back gates with permanent smiles plastered onto their faces. "I think I've died and gone to heaven" Dylan sighed.
The two girls walked onto the bridge which was hovering over the pool. Underneath the bridge a waterfall fell and a game of chicken was going on. Once getting to the other side of the bridge the girls looked at the party in awe.
A canopy was set up, a buffet of desserts was lined up against the side of the house and Kemp and Plovert were already pigging out. There were treats beyond belief, from banana cream pie to chocolate fondue, from an 8 layered strawberry cake to 10 scoopers sundaes…it was a 5 year olds dream.
Strings of lights lined the whole backyard making the area glow; lanterns hung from trees and created this feeling in Massie's chest which she couldn't place her finger on at the moment. It was as if she was being lifted up into the sky. All the weight was being lifted off her shoulders and she felt as if she could soar.
Massie spotted Kristen, Claire and a boy she didn't know sitting under a tree sipping root beer floats and laughing their hearts out.
She then turned her head to look at Dylan who looked as if she could faint at any given moment. "Dyl…breathe ok? Breathe!" Massie joked.
"Ok so remember how I said I was starting my diet today?" Dylan asked, her eyes never leaving the buffet table.
"Mhmm" Massie nodded her head.
"I think I'm gonna start tomorrow" and with that Dylan skipped towards the dessert buffet, squeezing in between Kemp and Plovert in the process.
Massie just smiled, Dylan held this type of innocence that you just had to love. She was so light on her feet and she was always glowing. The only thing Massie didn't like about Dylan was that she thought she needed to lose weight. Both Dylan and Massie weighed 90 pounds and were in 8th grade! Now if that was fat, Massie seriously needed to get to the gym more often.
"Now what is a lovely lady like yourself doing here all alone?"
Massie giggled and turned around to come face to face with a breathtaking Derrick Harrington.
Derrick's hair fell into his eyes perfectly, it shined underneath the glow of the lanterns. His long eyelashes brushed up against the ends of his hair causing his deep brown eyes to pull Massie into a trance. He was wearing faded jeans and a blue button down shirt, but the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. To sum it all up, he looked hot beyond belief.
"I should ask you the same Mr. Harrington" Massie batted her eyelashes.
Derrick stepped back in appall, "I'm a lovely lady?"
"Oh I'm sorry! Your Mom never told you? Wow and I thought you knew! My bad!" Massie joked while skipping off towards the trees. Derrick just laughed and ran after her.
He grabbed her by the waist and swung her around playfully to face him. "Now I can't let you go without saying hello" He then leaned in to capture Massie's lips in a short, sweet kiss.
The two broke apart and Massie opened her eyes to a smiling Derrick, "Hi" he whispered.
"Hi" she whispered back, a small smile beginning to form on her delicate face.
"ARE YOU READY TO PARTY!?" Plovert came running by drenched in chocolate syrup with Dylan following him holding whip cream up in the air, "I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET PLOVERT!" she screamed.
This party should be fun…
