Hello everybody!

Yes I know it's been a long time since I've updated! I was on vacation in Europe and may I say it was very fun! The day after I got back I had to go to my school to get my photo I.D., schedule, locker (that I will never use), books, saw my bestest friend Jared, and went to work after! After that, I started coming up with ideas for the story which then turned into an epic long journey of nothingness. School then rolled around the corner and I was like crap. I need to update this story!

Currently Listening To: Where Were You- Every Avenue

Currently Eating: Kudos Bar M&M

Current Thought: I'm hating high school right now.

Derrick's POV

I stared at the picture for a few more seconds soaking up the memories that it brought back. I looked down and sighed and looked back up at the picture again. I looked at the rest of them. There were pictures of her and Kelsey, her and Eric, her little Pretty Committee that she created. There were individual pictures of all of us too. It was unbelievable. She had pictures of nature, places of where she went on vacation, and pictures of the concerts she went to.

"You really like photography, don't you?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I do. It's one of the many things that help me relax and take a breather you know?"

"I know," I told her. "It's like me with soccer. It releases every thing that I can't say in front of people. It feels as if no one in the world exists but you."

"That's exactly how I feel about photography and soccer. Every thing I have bottled up, it just disappears like it was never really there," Massie said.

I nodded and looked down at my left wrist to check the time. It was already five o' clock and the party started at six.

"We have a half hour left since it takes about thirty to get there if we're walking," I told her.

"We're walking? I thought we were going to be taking your car over there."

"So you don't want to walk with me?" I asked putting my hands over my heart like I was offended.

"Awww. Derrick wants to walk with me? And your heart is on the other side you dork," She moved my hands to the left.

I felt my face heat up and I looked down. Massie took my chin in her hand and made me look into her beautiful amber eyes.

"I'll walk with you, but if I start getting tired, you're carrying me there," She proposed.

"Alright. That's fair," I agreed with her.

"Since the party is at a lake, shouldn't we be bringing our swimming stuff?" Massie asked.

I nodded over towards my gym bag, "I have mine."

Massie rolled her eyes and went into her closet to get her things. Five minutes later she cam out with a bag filled with her things.

"You need that much?" I teased her.

"Uh, yeah. I have every thing that's necessary!" Massie exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes and started walking towards her bedroom door. I looked back to see if she was following and she wasn't.

"You know, in order to go to the party, you have to move your legs," I stated.

She rolled her eyes and started walking, "I know that silly! I was just thinking that's all."

We headed downstairs and walked out the front door and started our walk towards the lake. My hands in my jean pockets and the hat I wore covered my eyes. Massie had her hands behind her back and sunglasses that covered her beautiful amber eyes. Both of us in silence and it was comfortable too. We walked like that for a few minutes until Massie broke the silence, which wasn't a bad thing.

"You know," She started. "I kind of miss you calling me 'Block'"

I smiled at that thought. I always thought she kind of hated me calling her that. "Well, if you want me too call you Block every single time we talk, I will."

"I mean, you don't have to call me Block every single time. I still like it when you call me Massie too," She smiled.

I laughed, "Okay then, I'll go by Massie and Block."

"I'd like that," Massie said.

"So Massie and Block, are you excited for the party?" I asked her.

"Derrick! I meant either Massie or Block. Not both of them together!" She playfully shoved me a little.

"I know, I know. I was just messing around with you," I grinned.

"I am excited for the party though. I might even get some good pictures of the fireworks," Massie smiled happily.

We continued walking for a few more minutes until we reached the lake. Cam and Kristen waved over to us. Massie started walking towards them and I followed her lead.

"Massie! I have so much to tell you!" Kelsey screamed. She and Massie walked away but not before Kelsey glared at me.

"Dude, she really doesn't like you," Josh said.

"So I've noticed," I responded.

"No, like she really doesn't like you. She even told us when you and Massie left. I swear, Kelsey could write a whole novel on why she doesn't like you," Chris told me.

"Kelsey really hates me that much?" I asked.

"Pretty much. What ever you did man, you better undo it," Cam shook his head.

"I didn't even do anything to her!" I exclaimed.

"Kelsey probably hates you because of what you did to Massie. She kept on saying that Massie never really got over you until she met Eric," Chris pointed towards Eric, who was talking to Olivia Ryan.

"So she hates me because I broke up with Massie?" I was so confused.

"No, it's because you broke up with Massie," Josh started.

"Called her immature," They started listing.

"Went for her best friend, Dylan,"

"Never really contacted her when she was in California,"

"And now Kelsey's mad that Massie's spending time with you," Chris finished.

"That's ridiculous! I mean, I guess I did break up with Massie, called her immature, and went for Dylan, but the last two are just ridiculous!" I huffed.

"Not really, Kelsey said that Massie sort of wanted you to call her or even e-mail her but you never did," Cam said.

"Massie didn't even say goodbye to me when she left! How was I supposed to know that she wanted me to call her?" I asked still very confused.

"You still should have at least called her once. I mean three years with out one single call is just weird," Josh commented.

"And Kelsey thinks that you and Massie are gonna get together and that you're gonna break Massie's heart like you did the last time she was here," Cam told me.

"But I would never do that again!" I practically screamed.

"You would never do what again?"

I turned around to see Massie and Kelsey standing there waiting for the answer. Kelsey raised her eyebrow and grinned.

"Oh, uh…I would never run out in just my boxers at night because an old lady called the police last time that happened," I chuckled trying to get rid of the awkwardness.

"Dude! I remember when that happened! It was Mrs. Fraylick that called the police! She started hitting you with her cane and started chasing after you!" Chris laughed.

"That was hilarious!" Josh laughed.

"Remember when she actually caught up to you and started hitting you even more with her cane?" Cam laughed.

It looked like all three of them were going to die of laughter. I rolled my eyes and explained to both Kelsey and Massie.

"It was a dare when we were at a party. It was freshman year and it was really stupid. Then Josh dared me to do it again sophomore year and that's when Mrs. Fraylick called the police. The police arrived but I was already fully dressed."

"I am never talking to that girl ever again. I swear, my I.Q. has dropped by fifty percent just by talking to her," Eric joined our group.

"Yeah, she can do that to you," Massie told him.

Eric looked around at Josh, Cam, and Chris and gave a questioning look.

"It was nothing," Massie explained.

"So you've met Olivia Ryan now. She's not the brightest crayon in the box," I told him.

"You can say that again. She says 'like' after every word," Eric said exasperated.

"So what you're saying is that she talks like this: Oh, like, my, like, gosh! Like, did, like, you, like, see, like, that, like, girl, like, that, like, came, like, here, like, in, like, that, like, hideous, like, outfit? Like, she, like, needs, like, to, like, return, like, that, like, outfit! Like, it, like, would, like, look, like, so, like, better, like, on, like, me! Like, you, like, know?" Kelsey imitated Olivia.

"Exactly like that! It's so damn annoying! I don't know how you guys could have gone to school with her!" Eric exclaimed.

"Like, hey! So like, guys, like, you want to like, go, like, with me to like, the cave? Like, we could like, so some things, like in there. Like, no one would like, ever know," Olivia Ryan purred when she came up to us.

"Uh, no thanks Olivia," I told her.

"But Derry-poo! I like, know you like, want some of like, this," She shook her boobs.

"Bye Olivia!" Cam waved her goodbye.

Olivia pouted and then stomped away to Alicia and Claire. At least we got rid of her. We all decided to go swimming. All the guys had their trunks on already and we waited for Massie and Dylan to finish changing. Kelsey and Eric forgot to bring their suits so the decided just to wait on the boat.

Being guys, we decided to just go in the lake and have Massie and Dylan find us. We decided to have a competition of who could hold their breath under water the longest. Josh won. We hung out near the boat for awhile until Massie and Dylan found us. Jenna and Kemp were with them and they dove in the water to meet us.

"Hey!" Jenna said excitedly as she swam over to Cam.

"Whaddup man?" Kemp asked bumping our fists together.

"Hey guys!" Both Massie and Dylan said simultaneously.

We swam for about an hour until we all looked like prunes. We got out of the water and dried off but didn't bother changing back into out regular clothes. Massie, Josh, Dylan, and I went to go get food and the rest headed towards the boat. We stocked up on a lot of food since we were all sharing it and brought it back to the boat. Cam and Jenna were sitting next to each other already making out and Kelsey and Eric were busy talking. It must have been a private conversation considering how close their heads were together. Kemp sat in the driver's seat of the boat since he was the one that was driving us out into the lake. Chris was just lying on the seat with his eyes closed.

Josh used an empty cup to get some of the lake water and poured it all over Chris.

"DUDE!" Chris screamed.

By then, we were all laughing at what happened. Massie and I sat together on the boat. Josh was next to me and Chris was on the other side of Massie. Cam and Jenna were still in their own little corner and Kemp and Dylan were at the front of the boat getting ready to drive it out.

"Hey Massie. Could you come over here for a second?" Kelsey asked.

"No, I think I'll just stay here with the guys," Massie told her.

We talked about the stupidest things until the sky turned pitch black. You could see the stars shining. Massie took her camera out and prepared for the explosions. One firework went up and lit up the sky.

Click

Massie took the picture and I saw her smile. Another firework went up in the sky.

Click

After the second click, I started paying attention to the explosions. About a half hour later, the finale for the explosions went off and lit of the whole sky. I felt something lean into my left arm. I looked down and saw Massie leaning there with her eyes looking at the sky smiling.

I hoped you enjoyed this little chapter :) Sorry if it doesn't make sense though. I've been out of it lately.

My first day of school started on Wednesday and may I say that I hate my school because it's huge and I almost got lost but at least I had classes with my friends and lunch I'm still afraid about because we have different lunches and it sucks because even though I have lunch with my friends I don't have lunch with my bestest friends and this is a really long sentence and I can't believe I'm the only freshman in my driver's ed class! Man, try saying that all in one breath!

Yes, I've also started driver's ed. IT'S SUPER BORING! But I get to be behind the wheel on Wednesday! Wish me luck!

Lahv,

Sarah

Please, please, please! Review! They make me happy :)
