Dorm Room 604

Midnight

Emma was laying down on her bed, listening to the rough breathing of her two asleep best friends. Something serious was going on. When Derrick had come back into the restaurant, he hadn't said more then two words to anybody, and when she had said goodnight to him he just shrugged and left. What had this Massie girl done to him? Clearly she must've known him by the way the Josh boy reacted. How could he and Massie know each other?

Emma got an idea. Massie Block. Maybe she could search her name and see what she could find out. This way if Derrick was only acting weird because they were like cousins or something, she could fix it and make everything right. Though Emma had a strange feeling that there was so bad blood between the two and not because they shared the same blood.

She typed in Massie's name and waited as results appeared on the page. She browsed around for about twenty minutes until she found what she was looking for.

Massie Block was seen walking hand in hand with a new boy. Could that be the end of her famous Derrick Harrington? Did the happy couple really break up? Sources say that his distance was putting a gap in their relationship. I guess Massie moved on pretty fast.

"Massie may walk around with boys but she is not likely to get over her first love that fast," Said an Insider yesterday afternoon.

So her and Derrick had dated. Why had he never mentioned her? He used to date a drop dead stunning girl who is photographed and everyone knows her name back in New York. He couldn't mention that she existed?

The Waldorf London

Thursday September 29th

MIDNIGHT

Massie quickly peeked up from her bed. Everyone was fast asleep, and she could even sense a snore or two from Dylan. Perfect. Massie slid out of bed and tip toed to her closet. She whipped off her pajamas and looked around. What to wear late at night in London? She grabbed for her Seven Jeans and slid on a white camisole. She then put on her burgundy Juicy Couture zip up sweater and tied her up her hair. She wasn't wearing any makeup but she didn't really care. Who was she going to see late at night in a foreign city?

She grabbed her coach wristlet, slipped a lipgloss, her cell, and some pounds (British money) into it and then reached for a room key. Hopefully no one would notice she was gone for a bit.

She left her room and pressed the elevator button, hoping beyond hope that it would come soon. She could really use a pick me up, and what better then the street of London, England?

When she finally got downstairs and outside the hotel, Massie sighed and found a bench to sit on. The cold air was refreshing and helped her think clearer.

Just tonight, Parker had introduced himself as her boyfriend; something she had wanted for ages. Parker was smitten with her, and she felt the same way. But then there was Derringtton…or as her snob of a girlfriend called him, Derrick.

Derrick seemed actually excited and nervous to see her, even after he dumped her. Was she supposed to feel the same way? She had loved him. Yes. He had dumped her. Yes. She was with Parker, an amazingly sweet guy who would've tried long distance. Yes. But Derrick was her first love…

She could just pretend she hadn't seen him, act as if he never existed. But she knew that she would always wonder what would've happened. How could she feel so many different feelings all at once?

"Massie?" Called a voice from behind her. Massie turned around and saw Parker. He was just standing there, looking ever so shy, with his hands tucked in his pockets and his shoulders shrugged.

"Parker. Sit down." She said smoothly, tapping the empty space beside her on the bench. Parker nodded and came over to sit beside her.

After a moment of silence, Parker finally decided to speak up.

"Massie, listen, I know everything went really fast between us…and Josh told me upstairs about Derrick." He sounded slightly nervous. "Massie…if this is the wrong time…" Parker said, looking away. Massie sighed.

"Parker, Derrick is just a guy from the past. I'm with you and this is most definitely not the wrong time. I wouldn't rather be with anyone else but you." She said comfortingly. He smiled and leaned in and kissed her cheek. She smiled and moved in closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder. He put his arm around her and they sat there for a bit in silence, just enjoying the night air of London.

The Tower of London

Friday September 30th

2:30 PM/ 15:30

The students were taken to The Tower of London for a little bit of culture but only LBRs and a few other students were truly enjoying the historical aspect. Massie and Parker had gone off from the group to find a small little dungeon room where they could be alone. Ainsly and Josh were walking only with each other hand in hand. Reed was following the teacher for extra marks and Dylan was chatting up a cutie she had met on their way in who was from Chicago.

"Massie, I really like you. I have for a while." Parker whispered in Massie's ear. She giggled and nodded.

"I've felt like the same way about you forever too." She said shyly.
"Really? You never acted like that." Parker said shocked."I don't like to share my feelings. I guess I'm pretty closed off."

"Don't be. Because all I want is to be a part of your life." Parker said sweetly. He then kissed her cheek which turned into him kissing her neck and moving his kisses all around. She giggled as he did it.

"Ainsly, I love you." Josh said. Ainsly smiled and looked away. Josh had been throwing out the 'L' word a lot and she was starting to get nervous. How could she respond to that? The last time she had said she loved someone, they had broken up about a week afterwards.

"Ainsly?" Josh asked, wondering if his girlfriend had heard him. She turned to him and gave him a hug.

"I'll be right back, I see Reed and I have to ask her something." Ainsly said, running to catch up with Reed. Josh sighed and stopped. He had said he loved Ainsly and she never really responded. He had only wanted to be with her and she pushed him away. Half the time she wanted to hide him and the other time she wanted to show him off. How the hell was he supposed to understand where their relationship stood?

Just then Josh's phone rang. He looked down and saw an unknown number. He picked up and instantly heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Hotz." Said Derrick.
"Hey Man, what's going on?"
"Where are you?" He asked
"Tower of London. It's killer. What are you doing tonight?" Josh said, looking around.

"I should be with Emma, but…Let's go out and catch up. You can tell me about Fisher and stuff. Tell me about you and your girlfriend…Tell me about…" But before he could finish Josh cut in.
"Tell you about Massie? She's one of my best friend's man." At this Derrick just grunted.

"How about we meet at 8 somewhere?" Josh suggested.
"Yeah, I'll meet you at your hotel, someone mentioned at the end of dinner last night that you are staying at the Waldorf?" Derrick said quickly. Josh confirmed and they finished setting up their plans.

Massie decides to skip the next day after that and only hang with Derrington. She finds she can talk about her past with him (its easier then anyone else) A lot happens but lets just say that the Welcoming Ball is coming up and so is Claire's London Party…But could the two events be tied together? Who's going with who? And don't forget about the roughness and bumps in Josh and Ainsly's relationship….what happens there?
