Correct me if I have the wrong date you guys!

OCD the halls

Monday October19th

12:29 pm

Alicia had just entered the newsroom to get ready for the announcements. She felt strangely restless. Even though she had had a full weekend.

She'd had a sleep over with Olivia Friday, went on a double date with Josh, Dylan, and Derrick Saturday, and spent a rare family day with her parents Sunday. And still she felt like something had been missing.

She knew exactly what that something was, but she pushed it to the back of her mind anyway.

"Good morning OCD this is Alicia Rivera with your lunchtime update."

Alicia went through a few of the details of the Halloween carnival. She hoped the costume contest would inspire the girls of OCD to have a little more pride in their outfits. Ever since the boys had left, the OCD girls had not been dressing as if they were stuck in fashion limbo. Not quite 'before' but certainly not their usual 'after' styles.

"Now for the most exciting Carnival update," Alicia rolled her eyes. Seriously? Principal Burns needed to calm down it wasn't that serious.

"We would like to announce the latest in the Carnival entertainment." Alicia's mouth went dry. What? What latest in carnival entertainment? She and her girls were the entertainment.

"Cirque de soleil's dance troupe has generously offered to perform in order to allow OCD's dance team an opportunity to prepare before their debut Halloween night. OCD's very own Massie Block was gracious enough to pay for the famous troupe's services."

Alicia's ears rang. Was she even still reading the announcements? She couldn't hear herself and she couldn't see anything other than red. Maybe she was dreaming, and school hadn't started yet and this wasn't real. Maybe that was why she felt so restless, but she knew that wasn't the truth. Dreams weren't this real. And even if it was real this was a night mare and Massie was Freddy Krueger.

OCD New green café

Monday October19th

12:36pm

Kristen locked eye with Claire. Kristen didn't normally curse, but right now this deserved a definite: Daaaamn! Because that was cold. Even for Massie it was cold.

Kristen knew Massie was going to ruin Alicia, but she didn't know she was going to straight up upstage her.

As subtly as possible, Kristen turned away from the Cheshire cat grin tugging at Massie's mouth and faced Dylan at the table across the room.

Dylan's jade green eyes were wide with shock. She shook her head slowly from side to side indicating that she had no idea what was going to happen next.

"Massie you didn't!" Claire said.

Massie shrugged and bit her bottom lip still smiling. The gesture reminded Kristen of a kid that had just been caught doing something bad and didn't care.

Kristen spoke up too. "Mass that's-"

"Evil. Yes I know." Massie replied eating her fruit salad carelessly.

At that moment, Alicia burst through the cafeteria doors. Her hair was messy and not intentionally. It looked as if she had been running her fingers through it all day. Much like Kristen did when she couldn't figure out an answer to a problem. Her brown eyes were wild with anger and her naturally golden brown cheeks were flushed angrily.

Kristen had never seen Alicia this pissed before.

Alicia marched up to table eighteen with no any intention of changing course. The girls moved out of her way as she stormed through.

"You bitch!" Alicia hissed through her teeth.

Massie's smile fell right from her face.

"You just couldn't wait could you?" Alicia spat.

Massie sat up straight in her bamboo chair and glared right back at Alicia.

"You know normally Leesh, I would make up an excuse or lie right to your face, but yeah you're right. I did it and I don't care. Did you forget? You hi jack my team, I hi jack your performance. Maybe this will teach you about not crossing boundaries especially when your dealing with a true alpha." Massie crossed her bangle covered arms.

Alicia looked like she was about to strangle Massie. Kristen prepared herself knowing that both Massie and Alicia were physically pretty weak, but there was no telling what damage they could do to each other with all this adrenaline pumping and if she needed to step in and get physical she wanted to be ready.

How ever Alicia's features softened. She turned back into the composed Spanish beauty everyone was used to seeing.

"You know what?" Alicia said calmly, "You're not worth it. I'm not about to lose my team or my performance over you. I'll show you Massie." Alicia turned on her grey suede boots and sauntered off.

Wow! That took some control.

Massie looked surprised. She had been expecting a bigger blow up than that. So had everyone else and some how that was more unsettling than any fight.

The Pinewood apartments The roof

Monday October19th

4:00pm

Kristen laughed out loud as Dune clumsily and just barely caught the soccer ball with his feet.

"Gawd you suck Dune." She laughed.

After she had explained everything that had gone down earlier that day to Dune over the phone he had come over to help her sort it through, but instead he had gotten her mind of the impending drama and had kept her laughing all day. She knew he had done it on purpose.

"Not everybody has cleat feet land lubber." Dune stuck his tongue out making Kristen laugh.

"It's not that difficult. Don't you watch soccer?"

"Not hardly." Dune said serving a semi decent kick back to Kristen.

"Bet this is easier than surfing," Kristen replied, "at least with soccer you're on a steady foundation." She teased.

Dune gave her a look. "Please! Not hardly cleat feet. I bet you couldn't last one day in the waves. You'd probably try to kick them."

Kristen giggled. Suddenly she had an idea.

"OK then how about a little wager?"

Dune raised his blonde eyebrows and steadied the soccer ball.

"What do you have in mind?" He asked.

"I teach you soccer this winter and you teach me how to surf in the summer. Who ever picks it up the fastest is the winner."

Dune looked as if he was thinking the bet over.

"Alright Gregory, deal."

Kristen waited. "That's it?"

"Yeah that's it. Why?"

"Don't you wanna have a prize or something?"

Dune smirked mischievously. "Seeing you in a bikini this summer will be enough of a prize."

Kristen's mouth dropped open and her cheeks reddened with embarrassment.

"You perv!"

Dune just laughed and made his usual go with the flow gesture knowing how that irritated Kristen.

"Don't 'go with the flow' me." Kristen put her hands on her hips and quickly removed them feeling a little too much like her mother.

"Aw come on Kris. Aren't you looking forward to seeing me in my swim suit?" He asked with that same sneaky grin on his face.

Kristen glanced away. Of course she had. Their was no mistaking that Dune was a total hang ten hawtie with a body. When she looked back up at her boyfriend's face he quirked an eyebrow and gave her a knowing smile like he knew exactly what she was thinking and he probably did. It was one of the things she love/hated about him.

"So we never kissed on our deal." Dune said expectantly.

"No we never did." Kristen replied and the two lip locked.

"Oh!" A surprised voice stated.

Kristen and Dune quickly turned to face their intruder. It was Dempsey.

He looked away nervously. His fists were clenched. He looked angry, hurt, disappointed, jealous and a slew of other nameless emotions.

"I didn't know I was interrupting something." Dempsey declared, "It's just that. Kris you were and I were supposed to talk about the last game tonight and"

"Oh Dempsey! I'm so sorry. I forgot all about it-"

"I can see that." Dempsey sourly replied.

"No worries dude." Dune added in. "You guys can talk about it later right?" He said. It came off sounding a lot more like a threat than a question.

Dempsey held Dune's gaze.

"Yeah later." He looked back at Kristen, "See you Kristen."

Kristen watched Dune watch Dempsey leave and asked, "What was that?"

Dune ran his hand through his blonde hair. "What was what?" He asked.

"With Dempsey right then? You got…I don't know. Pissed." Kristen replied.

"I'm not pissed," Dune replied, "but I'm not stupid Kris. I know Dempsey likes you I see the way he looks at you."

Kristen was surprised. "I've never seen you get competitive before it's kinda hot." Kristen grinned.

"Well I may know how to go with the flow, but I get competitive too."

The word competitive made Kristen think of everything that was going on at the moment, and she sat down suddenly ready to take a break.

"What's up?" Dune asked sitting down behind her and pulling Kristen onto his lap.

Kristen turned to stare into Dune's patient golden brown eyes and spilled everything about the ex DSL daters.

When she was done Dune said, "Well so what? Those girls are just crazy and their all noise. No one is going to steal me away from you Kristen. You know you got me right?"

"Really?" Kristen asked.

"Hell yes." Dune replied. "You don't need to worry about those chicks so don't worry. There's nothing to worry about."

He and Kristen kissed for a second time. It was so sweet it made her feel as if there really was nothing to worry about.

Hope you guys enjoyed. Even I can't wait for all the impending drama. lol
