Enjoy ;)
"Check out her mom's boob job. They're as hard as rocks." Dylan, Kristen, and Olivia all quoted lying down on Massie's comfortable bed sharing popcorn. The bathroom door finally opened letting the steam from Massie's hot shower dissolve into the cooler air.
"I hope you don't mind," Kristen started, "You were in there forever and we got bored so we went through your movie collection." Massie swatted the idea of her being mad like waving away a mosquito. Massie then emerged from her walk-in closet in a royal purple Juicy Couture sweat suit and her hair, unwet, in a bun. Reaching to her drawer, Massie grabbed a fuzzy purple notebook and pen.
"Let's work on my party ideas! I'm going to be turning fifteen and you only turn fifteen once. So let's think!" Massie clapped to get everyone's attention. Olivia paused the movie and sat up to think.
"How about a Celebrity Party?" Olivia questioned.
"To used," Massie quipped back to Olivia.
"Caaandddddy," Dylan burped into Kristen's face making her laugh.
"Too…man calories." Massie smiled writing all the rejects down.
"Masquerade? There's just something so sexy about wearing masks," Massie thought this out. It did sound sexy.
"Can't say no to that one, but let's keep brainstorming." Olivia began to whine pulling her knees to her chest.
"My gawd, she has an attention span of a baby. How did she even pass so many grades?" Dylan muttered to Kristen quietly. Kristen covered her laughs, but you could still hear muffled giggles. Olivia got up from the bed and walked to get her phone then back to the bed.
"So Dyl, we saw you all cooped up with Josh at lunch today," Olivia winked. Dylan's face immediately turned the same color as her hair, "Ohhhh!" Olivia jumped up and down messing up Massie's bed cover, "We should call him!" Olivia began dialing him.
"No!" Dylan reached for the phone, "It was just lunch. Nothing big. He is pretty cute though." Dylan bit her lip picking at invisible lint of the duvet.
"Ehmagawd! Dylie has a crush!" Massie ran over to Dylan and sat on her stomach, "Olivia come here. We are so calling him." Massie tore the phone away from Dylan's grasp and tossed the phone to her blonde friend next to Kristen. Kristen began to laugh as Olivia dialed in the number again.
"Make sure you do *62," Kristen advised the dumb blonde while Dylan began screaming her protests.
"Hello?" A husky voice came onto the phone. Olivia's eyes were as wide as saucers, "Hello? Anyone there?" Josh said again and hung up.
"Yes." Dylan said into the covers in relief.
"Uh oh, he's calling again" Massie looked at her friends.
"Send it to voicemail! Send it to voicemail!" Olivia grabbed the phone and sent it to her inbox. Massie felt Dylan untense underneath her,
"Thank god it was blocked." Dylan threw her hair into a sleek ponytail.
"Wait, but if it was blocked he wouldn't have been able to call us back," Kristen though out aloud and reached for the phone. Her mouth opened in shock.
"You...you...you fuck-tard! You used *82!" Dylan jumped over the bed and landed on top of Olivia. Kristen laughed as Dylan started wrestling with a screaming Olivia.
"No hair-grabbing! Whoa, whoa! You will not murder anyone in my bedroom." Massie screeched pulling apart her two friends, "Back to brainstorming. Kristen toss me the remote." Massie switched it off movie and to regular T.V.
"Oh, I love this episode of Sex and the City. It's so dramatic." Olivia exclaimed moving her way to Massie more and farther away from Dylan.
"That's it! Sex and the city as the theme of my party!" Dylan eagerly nodded her head,
"Fifteen and in the city! You could get drinks and have like lights scattered across the trees to make it look like a New York City skyline." All the girls added a detail and idea and soon enough a whole page was filled.
"The party's going to be amazing," Kristen laughed as she ate some jelly beans Inez, Massie's maid had brought up seconds before, "Are you going to try out for soccer?" Massie nodded throwing trash in the garbage can.
"It's after school right?" Kristen nodded looking at the time,
"Oh! I gotta go!" Kristen slipped her shoes on, "It's really late and I still have to do my homework, get school supplies, and I promised my mom I would make dinner tonight, then I need to t-" Massie laughed,
"Don't worry, Isaac will take you all home and if you want he can pick you all up for school tomorrow. Just text me your addresses." The girls grabbed their belongings and left the room. Massie was exhausted but it was nothing that her friends couldn't fix.
_**TAT**_
"Are you going to do it now?" Olivia whispered eyeing all the talkative kids in the cafeteria. Massie raised her hand quieting her curious friends before taking a sip of her Coke Zero.
"Hey honey?" Derrick replied with a muffled 'Hm', "Will you help me get up on the table?" Derrick stood up from his chair and gave Massie a hand.
"Ay-ah-hem." Massie cleared her throat silencing the café, "Hi guys. For the ones who don't know me, I'm Massie Block. I would like to invite you all to my party. It's going to be huge and completely fun. I mean you do only turn fifteen once right? I would like to invite you all there. As they say the more the merrier. It's going to be sexy so show up in your finest clothes. Fifteen and in the City as we know. I'm supplying the booze," Massie winked as the café erupted into applause and whispers about this party.
"I'm proud to call you a Hurley," Kemp laughed shaking his head.
"Ms. Block," Principal Burns recited her name causing Massie to turn around, "It's nice to see that you have taken an interest in BOCD high's social scene, but I would like you to know that we disapprove of underage drinking very strongly since it is illegal." The headmaster pursed her lips making her seem even more like a hawk.
"I know and I'm sorry for that but you will have to believe when I say it was just for show. Or more like false advertisement. I would never put any of my classmates to the dangers of underage drinking and alcohol poisoning. Don't worry about me. I think you have more important matters to worry about like Alicia Rivera and Chris Plovert kissing by the Boy's Locker Room in the janitor's closet." Massie smirked before shifting her seat before replying to her older brother,
"Proud to be a Hurley. I'm going to the bathroom." Massie gave a quick peck to Derrick's shaven cheek before grabbing her purse and walking to the bathroom. After entering, Massie finger combed her long tresses and added more powder to her nose.
"Hey," Claire looked surprised when she emerged from the gray stall. Massie stopped enhancing herself to turn around and look at her old friend, "Wow, you look different Massie."
"Um…Thanks? I don't really know if that's a good thing," Massie flipped her auburn hair over her shoulder. She turned around to grab her Dior purse.
"Actually it is. It feels like we haven't talked to each other in forever and to tell you the truth I miss you. How about we hang out on Saturday?" Massie bit her lip knowing deep down she felt that way too.
"I'm pretty busy planning for my party, but I'll try to meet up with you. How about Slim Berry at 2?" Massie offered as the bell rang moving closer to the painted, oak door. Claire's smile brightened as she nodded.
"Bye, see you then!" Claire gave her brunette friend a warm hug getting engulfed into Chanel No.5.
_**TAT**_
Massie opened her legs to make a "V" and started to stretch out with Kristen. Kristen stood next to her doing multiple stretches obviously nervous.
"Hey Massie," A girl with red hair walked up to the brunette.
"Yeah, Strawberry?" Massie got up and started to stretch her arms out.
"Well, don't tell anyone, but I heard that Morgan Lankin has her eye out for you with the ball. And the party you're having sounds really cool, but if Morgan doesn't want to show up neither will the rest of the school." Strawberry whispered to Massie making sure the alpha wasn't watching them. Massie shrugged, unphased by the rumors she's been hearing.
"Well, tell Morgan that I'll see her out there on the field," Massie dismissed the gossiper away and started jogging in place. Kristen walked closer to Massie, who had wandered off a bit to talk to Strawberry.
"Be careful what you see, girl. Morgan will chop you up, eat you, spit you out, and then embarrass you." Kristen bit her lip, placing a hand on Massie's delicate shoulder.
"Girls! Over here!" Coach Johnson called over the group of girls ready to tryout, "I'm Coach Johnson as you already know. Your captain is Morgan Lankin. She will be helping me choose who will be on the team, but I have the last say. You girls will do drills and play scrimmages. If you do make it, you will have to turn your physical into the office within the next two weeks." The girls ran through the drills quickly while Morgan and Coach Johnson stood by the sidelines marking on the clipboards. Scrimmage soon began with Massie, Kristen, and Strawberry all on the same team. Coach Johnson made Morgan join the game to see if she had improved any. Kristen and Strawberry kicked the ball to Massie and flawlessly she always made the goal earning her team points. Massie was swift, but strong keeping the ball away from Morgan. Coach Johnson's whistle blew in the distance and all the girls took a break to drink some water.
"If you will please be quiet, I have the results." Coach Johnson came up, "Please stand in a straight line." All thirty girls got into a curved line waiting for the results. Many crossed their fingers together scared.
"When I say your name please move forward. Strawberry McAdams, Kori Gedman, Kristen Gregory, Rebecca Williams, Kylie Manthin, Kendra Dial, Whitney Brown, Lauren Warner…" Coach Johnson listed off making Massie more nervous than ever, "and Massie Block." Massie shot her elbow down into the air excited, "You all made the team, if you are in the back row don't worry. You can be our replacements if anything happens to a player or they get kicked off. If you have a problem with that, you may leave now." A few girls picked up their things and wandered off toward the hill to the school.
"Um…Coach Johnson? I think you messed up. Why am in the line back here with these loners?" Morgan's prissy voice yelled. Coach Johnson placed her fingers on her tan temples.
"There is no mistake. Offseason, you didn't practice and it clearly showed. I'm sorry, but you are a replacement now." Morgan's pierced, high pitched scream entered everybody's ears as she ran away grabbing her phone to complain to her dad, "That's what I was afraid of, but since Morgan is gone that means a new captain. The girl that shined on the field was hard to decide, but it's actually two girls; Massie Block and Kristen Gregory." They squealed together giving each other a sweaty hug. If only they knew things wouldn't be so amazing after a while.
_**TAT**_
Dressed in distressed Levi's, metallic Juicy Couture flats, and a sequin tank with her hair in a curly side bun Massie stood in line beside her friend. Massie looked out the window to see large gray clouds moving in and the light, summer breeze picking up.
"So what do you want?" Massie asked as they neared the cash register. There were just so many choices. Claire made a "Mph" sound as she was still distracted at how fancy this place looked. The walls were all painted a metallic shimmery silver with orange dots. There were black, white, and orange chairs and tables scattered around. In the back there was a small living room area with a gigantic flat screen and an orange couch. "I really want to get the rainbow flavor, but the low-fat melon mania looks delicious." Massie bit her lip in a strong decision.
"Just get both," Claire shrugged ordering the original with strawberry toppings. A horrified look crossed Massie's face,
"Both? Do you know how many calories that is?" Massie's voice became shrill before turning back to the cashier, "I'll get the small low-fat melon mania." Massie gave the cashier a crisp twenty. After they got their frozen yogurt, they got a table at the front of the store since most of the other tables were already occupied.
"So how's life?" Massie started taking a spoonful of her treat.
"Boring without you," Claire frowned, "I don't have any classes with you and there is this one evil teacher. Ugh, I swear she has her eye on me. So what am I hearing about this "party of the year?"" Claire rolled her eyes as Massie giggled.
"Nothing big, Lynn and Kemp just wanted to throw me a big one-five." Massie dabbed around her mouth with a napkin, "We just sent out the invitations today. It's next Saturday. You should come. I sent you an invitation, but I want to know today." Massie smiled at Claire.
"Of course I'll go. Why wouldn't I- oh my god." Claire's gaze suddenly changed to come eye to eye with a boy, "Who is that?" Claire murmured looking again at the guy. He had dark brown hair that was nicely combed back with gel, a leather jacket that had a few nags in it, a green eye and one blue eye, and tan skin. Claire instantly fell in love with him.
"Who? Him? That's Cam Fisher. He's my brother's friend," Massie eyed Claire who was fidgeting with her spoon as a deep blush rose to her cheeks. Massie got the idea,
"Hey Cam! Over here!" Massie shouted as Claire desperately tried to fix her hair. Both girls were consumed by Cam's spicy cologne. He grabbed a seat and turned it around to sit down saying his hellos. Claire did a small wave as her heart pace got dangerously fast. "This is Claire; my best friend since we've been 6." Massie smiled telling Claire to get less tense. Cam scooted a little closer to the blonde reaching out his hand, "Nice to meet you. I'm Cam. You seem familiar?" Claire shook his hand with a soft grip,
"Yeah, I go to BOCD. I'm a sophomore." Cam nodded reaching out to get his phone. Massie got up from the table to throw away the trash as Cam and Claire continued to talk. A giddy Claire came up to Massie,
"You ready to go?" the confused Massie nodded as they exited the store. That's when Claire became crazy, "Oh my god! We exchanged numbers and he called me a cutie." Claire began dancing in the middle of the cobblestone sidewalk. Thunder sounded as drizzle of rain began pouring down, but that did not dampen Claire's spirit one bit.
"Dance with me!" Claire grabbed Massie small hands and began to twirl around. Bystanders watched in interests as they passed.
"She had a little too much Slim Berry if you know what I mean." Massie tried to explain for Claire, "To the heck with it!" Massie began swaying in the rain with her best friend. Claire stopped to get a breath, her blonde hair turning a darker blonde color because of the rain.
"This is life! You can't let rain keep you inside; sometimes you have to dance with it."
Can you tell me the movie Olivia, Kristen, and Dylan was quoting? It's a classic.
Yay! This was shorter :) I'm on the roll. Two updates in a row maybe it was because of all those amazingly nice comments. I loved it! Thanks so much! Review!
