Happy Birthday Tess. I wish I could have thought of a more original one shot or something other than an update, but I guess this will have to do (:
The Block Estate
Massie's Room
Monday, October 12th
7:23 p.m.
Massie snapped her phone shut after saying goodbye to Plovert. She had just taken care of the one thing that was on the back of her mind since her parents first told her the date of their annual auction a week or two ago, finding a suitable date. Yes, she asked Plovert to the auction, and of course he said yes. No one says no to Massie Block. Even if it Massie didn't believe that girls can ask guys out, she broke it just this once, if she didn't she'd be stuck with her friends and their dates and that was nawt an option. Massie didn't necessarily like Plovert, but he gave her no reasons not to like him, he seems pretty quiet and sweet after all. She needed a new guy and maybe after Friday he could be the one.
Massie sat up on her bed where she had been laying for the past ten minutes. She slid off and smoothed the bedspread until it was wrinkle free. Then she made her way across the room to her Mac to kill some time before it was time to walk with Bean and her dad. It was the middle of October and it would be soon that it'd be too cold to go on walks.
She moved her mouse and watched as the computer screen lit up to her desktop. She typed in her password and signed into AIM. The minute she signed on, she got an IM from Derrick.
shortz4life: hey block
massiekur: derrick.
shortz4life: guess what!
massiekur: what?
shortz4life: me & dylan broke up.
Massie thanked God that she found out over the computer, or else she'd struggle not to show an exited looking expression in public.
massiekur: u finally got the nerve 2 break up with her?
shortz4life: well…
massiekur: she broke up with u, didn't she.
shortz4life: she brought it up I guess, but it was more neutral
massiekur: that makes no sense i thought she was obsessed with u.
shortz4life: thats nothing new everyones obsessed with me.
massiekur: or so u think.
shortz4life: i dont think. i KNOW.
massiekur: just like i KNOW ur full of sh*t
shortz4life: language.
Massie quickly readied a response, but she was taken off guard when Derrick IMed her again.
shortz4life: so anyway now that im not with dylan anymore. do wanna go to the auction with me?
massiekur: so ur assuming im not going with any1?
shortz4life: well r u?
massiekur: yeah.
shortz4life: oh. who?
massiekur: plovert.
massiekur: well i gotta walk bean. bye.
massiekur has signed off.
Massie kind of regretted asking Plovert now, but at the same time she was glad she did. Now she could finally let Derrick feel like she did when she first found out him and Dylan were going out.
The Hotz House
Josh's Room
Monday, October 12th
8:43 p.m.
Josh didn't know what to do. He wasn't sure if he was feeling it anymore with Alicia, but there wouldn't be any way to figure that out since the last time they were actually alone together was probably back in September when he snuck into the announcement booth. It wasn't like he hadn't tried to invite her out with him recently, he had. In fact he had today, but apparently she needed to go "shopping with the girls" for the third day in a row. He was sure that she had to by now have an outfit for the auction, which he never actually officially asked her to. Which brought him to the reason he was thinking about all this, he looked back down at his phone and reread the conversation again, debating on what to say next.
Alicia: heey (:
Josh: hey
Alicia: don't u have something 2 ask me?
Josh: ?
Alicia: the auctions in 4 days….
Josh stared blankly at his phone. He could just go on and ask her, or he could simply just end it with her right there.
"JOSH!" He heard his little sister, Melanie, banging on his door.
"What?" Josh called from his bed.
"SOME KID NAMED PLOVERT IS HERE!" Melanie yelled from the other side of the door.
Josh was confused, he hadn't expected Plovert to be here, especially now as it was dark. He shrugged and decided to focus on Alicia's text later.
Josh came downstairs to find Plovert standing by the door awkwardly, having a conversation with his mom.
"Hey mom, I guess I'm going out." Josh said grabbing his soccer hoodie from the closet.
"Be back by 9:30, it's a school night." Josh's mom informed him.
"Uhuh." Josh called as he led Plovert outside.
"So why are you here?" Joshed questioned him as they emerged from his tiny-for-Westchester-house.
"I kinda have a problem." Plovert frowned.
"No offense, but why'd ya come here? I mean Derrick lives down the street from you, and Cam lives only a few blocks over."
"That's the thing. Derrick's my problem and Cam's out with Claire or something." Plovert explained.
"Oh, well whatsup?" Josh asked interested.
"So first me and Dylan doubled and I took her to her house, which eventually ended up in a make out."
"I don't think Derrick's going to care. I mean did he ever even like her?"
"No, but I wasn't done. Then Massie asked me to go to the auction with her and I said yes." Plovert finished.
"You are so stupid. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't make it through the night, I mean Massie and Derrick talk now, and she's bound to tell him." Josh hit him in the arm.
"That's my problem. I said yes to Massie because I didn't know whose wrath would be worse, Massie's or Derrick's." Plovert then grinded one of the leaves under his shoe into the ground.
"Hmm, well if you said no to Massie, your whole social life would go write down the drain, but even though Derrick is the most popular guy, he can't really do much if you're going to Massie to the auction. Though he can convince coach to bench you next game even if we needed you out there. Oh, and you might get a ball to the stomach like Cam did to me last year. Either way, you're basically screwed." Josh shrugged.
"Yeah, I realized this." Plovert mumbled. "Him and Dylan broke up today too, and I think he was gonna ask Massie."
"That's bad. So what are you going to do?" Josh asked.
"I have no idea. I guess avoid Derrick until the auctions over?" Chris shrugged.
"Have fun with that especially with the six periods you have with him." Josh pointed out.
"Thanks for reminding me." He groaned.
Plovert pulled his phone out of his pocket and checked the time. "I gotta go."
"Good Luck avoiding Derrick." Josh smirked.
Plovert hopped on his bike.
"I'll need it." With that Plover rode off down the street.
Josh sighed. With all of Plovert's problems he was still had to figure out his own.
He made his way back up the steps taking them two at a time, shut the front door, and went back to his bedroom without saying anything to his sister or mom. He grabbed his phone off his bed and texted his response.
There you go, I did some Josh and Plovert for ya (: I figured no Derrick I wrote about him recently, and I haven't done Josh yet.
Okay so I'm not sure if Alicia and Josh hung out alone in P.S. I Loathe You at all, but in my world they didn't cause I cant remember and right now I really don't feel like getting up and checking. Oh and about Cam kicking a soccer ball at Josh's stomach, I wrote about it in my Lake Placid story, if you didn't read it.
I dunno if you guys liked it. I haven't been in the reading or writing Clique fanfiction lately so sorry if it didn't fit that well, but I'm trying to get back into it. I keep saying I'm going to update P.C. I'm about half way done the chapter, but I dunno when I'll finish, I'm trying to get back into that too.
P.S. Do you want Josh to say yes or no to Alicia?
Reviews are nice (:
