Has anyone ever noticed I tend to write at night or in the morning? And I always have to tell you about it. Well, it's 12:44 am, and I decided to write, cause I was bored, and couldn't sleep. Also, my social life always gets to be bigger during the school year (I go to friends houses more often, because I'm always in the Cape all summer, and lacrosse camps and stuff.)
By the way, I have to say I basically changed it, so now it's not really so Romeo and Juliet, because Massie doesn't agree that they should still be together… yet. Hehe.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
"We do?"
"Yeah."
"Maybe we can, next week, next month, next year… never?" Massie said walking away. Derrick grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back.
"No, Mass, we need to talk now. I know why you were avoiding me. The whole family thing and I know my grandpa hates yours. But why should that affect what we think about each other?"
"I care about what my parents think of my boyfriend."
"And you think your parents are gonna like someone who you had sex with the first time you met him?"
"What?!"
"Chris. Everyone in our entire dorm knows you went to his room."
Massie stood their shocked. "I'll have you know, that I didn't do anything with him. I didn't know that boys gossiped and I didn't know you were in the dorm!" she said raising her voice. "And you want to know why I didn't do anything?" she said screaming, the liberian looking their way, and pushing herself away from the computer. Massie lowered her voice, and said "Because I couldn't stop thinking of you." She said pushing a finger into his chest.
"What?" he said caught off guard.
"But, I need to respect my family, and I can't be with you. So, I've got to get over it, and you sure aren't helping." Derrick dropped her wrist, and she picked up her book, and stormed out of the library. He watched her leave the library, mouth hanging open.
He looked at where she was sitting. She didn't realize it, but she left her cell phone behind.
He opened the phone, and unlocked it. He went to the address book, smiling to himself. "Perfect." He whispered to himself.
MxD
Massie walked on the cobblestone path, back to her dorm, tears streaming down her cheeks, breathing heavily. She opened the door to her hall, and went to her room. She sifted through her bag, looking for her card key.
She pulled out the flimsy card, and shoved it in the door. When the light turned red, she stuck it back in, and the light was still red. Chris's key. She thought, looking for the other key in her bag.
Finding the navy blue key, she stuck it into the card key reader, and the light turned green. Immediately turning the doorknob, she slammed the door closed after getting her key.
"Ugh," she said sitting down on her back, and falling backwards. "How can I deal with this?"
"Deal with what?" Alicia said coming out of the bathroom.
Massie gasped, "I thought you were at field hockey!"
"Nah, I'm just gonna try out for soccer again."
"Figured you would." Massie said sniffing.
"Yeah." Alicia said, laying down on the bed next to her. "So, what's wrong?"
"Derrick knows about the family thing. Whoever told him, I don't know, but he still thinks we can be together, and our families shouldn't matter. But I really don't want to disrespect my mom and dad. And my grandpa."
"Oh." Alicia said chewing on her lip. "Well, he's kind of right, Mass, but you do what you want to do."
"Yeah." She sighed. "Can I have a tissue?"
"Sure." Alicia plucked a Kleenex out of the box on Massie's side table, handing it to her. Massie blew her nose, and then handed it back to her. Alicia, used to this, plucking it with two fingers, dangling it, threw it in the trashcan.
"Where's Whit anyway?"
"I think she went out with someone. She was in such a rush she didn't tell me who."
"Oh, really?" Massie said raising an eyebrow. "I think some sneaking around might help me feel better." Massie said smirking.
CxW
"Massie!" Alicia hissed. "Where are they?"
"How should I know?" Massie whispered back.
"Wait! Look!" Alicia said.
"That's not her! That's Samantha!"
"Oh." Alicia said, disappointed. "Look! Her!"
"Now that's her." Massie said ducking behind another tree. Whitney approached the bench near the tree, with a tall dark-haired boy.
"This is a little close for comfort," Massie whispered to Alicia.
"Just a little."
"So, Cam,"
"Ohmygod! That's Cam!"
"Cam?" Alicia said, confused.
"The guy we were sitting with at breakfast. Whitney and Cam; I can see that, she said clucking her tongue, a little loudly.
"Did you hear that?" Whitney said looking around.
"Hear what?" Cam said looking around, too.
"I don't know. Nevermind. So what did you want to talk about?"
"Nothing," Cam snickered. "I just wanted to see you."
Whitney laughed. "Well, I wanted to see you too," Massie and Alicia had started to sneak off, back to the dorm.
Dinnertime.
Cam and Whitney walked in, Cam's arm around Whitney's shoulder, and Whitney's arm around his back.
"So," Alicia said, "Is this the mystery guy, you never told us about?"
"Maybe." Whitney smiled, and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Bye, Cam!" she wiggling her fingers at him.
"Bye Whit." Cam walked away, to the buffet line.
"Soo…" Whitney said, putting her chin her hands. "What's up girlies?"
"Well, Derrick talked to Massie, and blah, blah, blah." Alicia stated.
"Hey!" Massie smacked Alicia on the arm.
"It's true."
"Well, yeah…" Massie said, trailing off. "Anyway! Whitney, you never told us!"
"Well, since you and Derrick weren't speaking, we both figured just not to tell anyone, until we were sure we wanted to go out with each other…"
"Uh, what would me and him," Massie said sticking a finger at Derrick. "Have to do with you two?"
"Not a lot, I guess."
Massie sat there with a dazed look on her face for a second, "And I should I have realized that all along…"
Will Massie accept Derrick now that she realized she should have in the first place? Actually, no, she won't, but don't worry! (:
