The Block Estate
Massie's Room
Monday September 12th
6:30AM
Massie got out of the bathroom with a white towel hugging her body, and another holding her wet hair up on top of her head. She walked over to her mannequin and examined her outfit choice one last time. The light brown shoulder sleeve Chloe dress would look beautiful against Massie's slim figure and it matched perfectly with her bronze pumps from Prada, by the mannequin sat Massie's Michael Kors metallic leather bag. Massie smiled and looked at the time, she had about an hour left. She walked back to the bathroom to blow dry her hair. When she finished she put on her clothes and curled her brown waist-length hair. As she was about to apply makeup to her face, her phone started playing Tik Tok.
Massie walked towards her desk to pick up her iPhone. It read New Text Message: Alicia Rivera; with excitement she opened the text.
ALICIA: we r going 2 b at ur house in 15 minutes
MASSIE: kay:) c u soon
Massie decided to quickly apply her makeup so she'll have time to eat. She kept her look natural by applying some bronze MAC eye shadow and a small hint of blue coming from the mascara. Her lips were glossy and thick thanks to her Cover Girl wetslicks lip-gloss. Massie grabbed her purse and walked down the stairs to the kitchen where both of her parents were sitting eating breakfast.
"Good Morning honey," Kendra said and smiled at Massie. Kendra always said Massie got a good sense of style from her. Kendra was wearing black straight leg Ralph Lauren pants, with a Chloe shirt and a Miu Miu cropped jacket. She looked well put together, like always.
"Good morning mom," Massie said, "Alicia should be here in a few minutes, so Isaac won't have to take me today."
"I'll let him know," Kendra took a sip of her coffee. "I invited the Harrington's over for dinner tonight, hopefully that will help you in your mission. I also heard that Ryan Johns is here, have you two met yet?"
"Yea," Massie said uncomfortably, even though she and her mom were close she didn't feel like telling her about Ryan being her boyfriend. "Thanks for the help." Massie's phone ringed, she looked at the text from Alicia indicating that they are waiting for her outside. Massie got up from her seat; she grabbed her Luna Bar and Vitamin water and left the house after saying goodbye to her parents.

8:15AM
The five girls strutted out of the Rivera's limo and towards the big oak tree where the soccer boys were sitting except for Derrick. Massie walked to the seat next to Kemp who smiled at her. She stood on her seat on the grass not wanting to get her new dress dirty. She saw Dylan doing the same while Alicia sat on Josh's lap, Kristen sat next to Chris on her Nike gym bag, and Claire sat on Cam's lap. Out of nowhere Ryan comes.
"Hey," Ryan said aiming at Massie. He sat on the grass next to Kemp and motioned for Massie to sit on him she smirked at Dylan and sat on Ryan's lap.
"Hey cutie," Massie said to Ryan and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. He frowned in a playful way which caused Massie to laugh and kiss him on the lips. After Saturday they got pretty close. They had dinner with Alicia and Josh after they went shopping all day and luckily Ryan agreed to carry Massie's bags which allowed her to buy a lot. Everyone from their group heard about Ryan so it was no surprise that he would be sitting with them.
Dylan cleared her throat. Everyone looked up to see that she is still standing up and that Kemp is the only one with no one next to him. Massie laughed as Kemp gave Dylan his gym bag to sit on. Everyone went back to conversation and Massie couldn't help but wonder where Derrick was. She was hoping someone would say something, luckily for her Dylan did.
"Where's Derrick?" Dylan asked and Massie pretended not to care.
"He's off with Olivia somewhere," Josh answered which caused the boys to start snickering.
"Duh-livia?" Alicia asked even though she already knew the answer to that question. Alicia looked at Massie, worried a little. This caused Massie to realize that Derrick is going to be harder to play than she thought. But when he comes over later to her house, it will be just them. Massie's heart raced at the thought of being alone with Derrick but she quickly forgot about it and smiled at Ryan.
"Did someone say my name?" Olivia comes to the group with Derrick. She was overly happy which was probably because Derrick had his arm around her shoulder.
"Olivia I think you should go now," Derrick said not sounding one bit sad. Olivia looked at him sadly, but after he winked at her she smiled and walked away. Derrick sat down next to Ryan and Massie. "Hey Block," Derrick smirked at her but looked enviously at Ryan but only Alicia saw that.
"Hey Derrick," Massie smiled at him. She felt Ryan wrapping his arms around her waist. The first bell rang and everyone got up and headed to class. Massie, Alicia, Derrick, Dylan, and Josh were heading to English while Ryan followed Claire and Cam to History, which they had together.

English Class
Monday September 12th
9:00AM
Massie sat down as far away from Dylan as she could which means in front of Derrick who was on the other side of the room. Only two minutes into the class and he's already flirting with the girl next to him. Massie signed, Derrick was driving her crazy with his acts. One day he asks her out, the next he's her friend, and now he was ignoring her. Massie didn't understand that Derrick only ignored Massie to avoid falling for her, and to make her fall for him. Massie taps her pencil on her desk as the teacher was teaching. His lessons were pointless considering nobody ever listens to what he says.
Massie felt someone tap her on her shoulder. She turned her head back to face Derrick which caused her curls to fall over her shoulder. It took Derrick some strength to stop himself from staring in awe.
"Can I borrow a pencil?" Derrick asked Massie.
"Why? It's not like you are going to use it," Massie said and turned back to the front and continued tapping her pencil. It wasn't long before she felt another tap on her shoulder. This time she turned around annoyed and said, "What?"
"Be nice," Derrick said, "and what makes u think I wasn't going to use the pencil?"
"And what makes you think I care?" Massie snapped. She was supposed to be friends with him but even friends can get annoyed with each other.
"Harsh Block! What happened to being friends?" Derrick said with a look of fake hurt on his face. Even though he looked completely confident, he wasn't. Inside Derrick was wondering if he was pushing his chances with Massie by annoying her. But then again, Massie is not one of those girls who are in love with him, and the only approach that Derrick knows towards a girl who won't fall for him is to annoy her. But last time he tried that was in second grade and it didn't work on the beautiful brunette girl.
Massie opened her mouth to reply with one of her clever comebacks, but she was interrupted with the teacher. "Massie Block!" He yells at her and waits for Massie to turn around so he can continue. "Your second day in this school and you are already interrupting my class!"
"More like you are interrupting my conversation," Massie mumbles but only Derrick could hear her which caused him to start laughing.
"Do you think this is funny, Mr. Harrington?" the teacher asked glaring at Derrick. Derrick didn't stop laughing, even though he tried to, which caused the teacher to get even angrier at the two. "Detention after school both of you!" The teacher says right before the bell rang and everyone left the classroom.
Massie and Derrick had Science next so they walked together in the hall. Neither one of them wanted to be the first to speak, so they walked in silence. Ryan comes from behind them and squeezes in between Massie and Derrick.
"Hey guys," Ryan said happily and kissed Massie's cheek. "I heard we have 5 minutes between classes and I was wondering if u wanted to walk with me somewhere private." As much as Massie didn't mind the idea, she wanted to stay with Derrick. But before she could say anything Derrick spoke.
"Actually, we have science together next. And since it's only Massie's second day here she asked me to show her where it is." Derrick said happy with his cover-up but he was hoping Massie won't say anything else.
"Oh," Ryan said and he looked at Massie, "Well then I guess I'll see you later." He smiles and walks away after hugging her.
Massie and Derrick were outside of the science room when she turned to him and asked, "Why did you make something up so I'll walk with you to Science?" Massie smirked at the blonde boy, who she hoped would blush.
But instead he took a few steps closer to her so they were close enough to kiss. The second bell rang but they stayed in that position and Derrick said "That's for me to know and for you to find out." He smirked at Massie and walked into class leaving Massie in the halls alone taking in what Derrick said.
