BOCD HALLWAYS

BY THE VENDING MACHINE

SAME DAY

1:25 P.M

Massie sat behind the vending machine, with the Pretty Committee rubbing her back.

"Ugh! I just can't believe that Kuh-Laire would steal Derrington like that!" Massie screeched.

"Well, um, Mass you did say you were over him." Dylan explained.

"Yeah, but we are on a boyfast! Remember?!" Massie yelled.

"Yeah I guess that's true. But what if you were dating someone? Just saying…" Alicia said.

"What? This has nothing to do with me and Ca-"

Massie stopped herself just in time.

"You and who???" Kristen prompted.

"Um, me and no one. No one at all. Nothing. Nothing."Massie shook her head.

But the girls weren't so sure.

"But, anyways," Massie said trying to change the subject, "I just can't believe that Derrington even LIKES her! She's such a loser! I mean come on! She prefers Keds to Kors, Hello Kitty to Hard Candy. Target to PRADA! She's a nightmare!"

"Yeah, but what happened to everything you guys did together? Are you sure this won't just blow over?" Kristen asked.

"Never. There is no excuse for being a traitor. Everyone, please remove your "C" charms on your charm bracelets, and stomp them into the ground.

The girls did as they were told.

The warning bell came over the speakers, and the girls picked up their bags and smoothed their skirts.

"Everyone please apply a fresh coat of gloss." Massie called."We must look perfect for our takedown plan. Kristen, take this hairspray and get rid of those flyaways. Alicia, take this mirror, your mascara is clumping. Dylan, you have chocolate in your teeth. Have some floss. And me?"

"No flaws!" Alicia applauded her.

"As usual!" Kristen and Dylan joined in the clapping.

Massie smiled and spread some Crème Brulee Glossip Girl across her plump lips.

"Okay let's get this straight. What's the plan?" Massie asked them.

"Okay, I am going to walk in the classroom," said Alicia, "and when I see Claire and Derrington siting together, I'm going to walk up to them, and execute the plan!" Alicia hopped up and down happily, her cleavage bursting from her purple silk Ralph Lauren drape halter top. She noticed they were laughing, and folded her arms across her chest.

"Okay, and then Kristen and Dylan, you will take over from there, 'kay?"

"Got it!" Kristen sprayed the hairspray with a flourish and fluffed it up before continuing, "and then, we party with our victory!!" Dylan laughed, and slid her finger across her teeth to check for any remaining chocolate.

"Okay girls" Massie took a swig of Vitamin Water, "let's do this."

The girls entered the classroom with grace and poise. This time they entered in with all the other kids.

Massie decided that they could be noticed more when they were entering with a group rather then when they were entering late and annoying people.

The Pretty Committee looked like a group of flamingos in a swarm of pigeons when they walked in with girls in outdated accessories, smudged makeup, and baggy khakis.

They took their rightful places in the back, and as soon as they saw Claire and Derrington slip into the front desks, Alicia stood up and proceeded towards them.

Once she had gotten right up behind them, she cleared her throat loudly until Derrington turned and looked at her.

"Oh, uh hey Alicia. What's up."

Alicia glared at him for a while, and then slapped him in the face.

"You dirty two-timing pig!" Alicia yelled.

"What?" Derrington yelled back.

Alicia took a long dramatic pause before continuing with her plan.

"I can't believe you would kiss me and then scam on poor innocent Claire! You lied to me! You said you loved me!! And now you go out with Claire the next day?! Claire, I'm sorry Derrick lied to you. And, Derrick, I'm sorry you'll never get a second chance with me. Good bye."

Alicia turned and strutted off, purposely shaking her hips even more than usual in her new Rich and Skinny skinny jeans.

She winked at Massie and The Pretty Committee and they had to put their hands over their mouths to conceal their laughter.

Then Kristen and Dylan stood up and walked over to Derrington as soon as Alicia was out of sight.

Kristen gasped as soon as she got to their desks.

"Omg, Derrick what are you doing with Claire? I thought we had something special!" she wailed.

"What? No, Derrick said that we had something special! He said he would always be there for me!" Dylan fake-cried.

"He kissed me!" Kristen fired back.

"You womanizer!" Dylan sobbed.

Now the students sitting around them were engaged in the fight too.

Suddenly all the kids started booing Derrington, who just sat there, mouth wide open, words failed to come out.

Then all the kids started shouting out random insults at Derrington.

"Cheater!"

"Loser!"

"Lier!"

"Dirtbag!"

Now Claire was in tears.

"I can't believe you cheated on me!" she sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"But. Claire, I-"

"Save it, jerk."

Claire stood up, hooked her bag over her shoulder, shook her head, and slapped Derrington as hard as she could in the face, just like Alicia had done.

With that, Claire burst out of the classroom, and Dylan, Kristen, Massie, and Alicia were doubled over laughing and slapping high fives. But, they could barely be heard over the booing and angry shouting of the class.
