November 12 (Monday)
OCBD Café
Massie sipped her mango milkshake, sugar free of course, as Claire collected her kiwi and strawberry concoction and walked over to her. "Um, Massie…" Claire began shyly, looking down.
"Yeah?" Massie asked.
"I kindda…look…do you…you see…" Claire stammered on.
"Hey, where are Alicia and Kristen? More importantly, where's Dempsey?" Massie sat up straighter and Claire's face turned bright red. "Well?"
Claire closed her eyes, took in a deep breath and replied, "Kristen was with Dylan and Alicia's somewhere with Derrington."
"WHAT?!" Massie screeched, slamming her fist onto the table. Heads whipped around to stare, and Massie casually rolled her eyes to show that it was nothing and everyone slowly returned to their own world. "What?" Massie whispered.
"I just told you," Claire squeaked.
"What is Kristen doing talking to that Triple-B? Why is Alicia doing with my ex? And more importantly, how do you know this?" Massie's voice was seething with venom as Claire stumbled into a chair.
"Well, I saw K and D leave together after Geography and then Cam asked me why Derrington was sneaking around with Leesh, so I figured…you know…" Claire's cheeks went pink.
"Woah, woah, wait…" Massie held up her palm, leaned back in her seat and closed her eyelids. Did everyone know about how her beta was sneaking around with her ex? Everyone except for her? Ehmagawd, were people laughing at her? Massie gasped and sat up, staring around the hall. No one was directly looking at her and laughing, so she sighed and relaxed again.
"Right, and Dempsey?" Massie raised her eyebrows, and just then, Dempsey walked into the café, with his short friend, Rick.
He bought a salad and sat down at Massie's table. "Did you get my message?" he asked, not even bothering to look at her. Massie remembered the SMS from the morning, but she still hadn't opened it.
"Um, no, sorry. Lemme see," Massie fumbled in her bag and snapped open her phone. "Is this it?" she asked sweetly, showing it to Dempsey without looking at it herself first.
"Yeah, that'd be it," he paused to look at her. When she smiled back sweetly, he sighed. "Why don't you read it first," he suggested. Massie blushed.
"Of course. I haven't opened my mobile since yesterday," Massie rolled her eyes, to show that life as an alpha could get real hectic sometimes. She looked down at the screen on her phone.
Sorry I've been missing. Busy with football, etc. Meet me on Wednesday and let me make it up to you ;) How about 6 at the pier? – D
Massie grinned and looked up at him with happiness shining from her eyes. Dempsey was tucking into his salad, talking to Claire and Rick about some charity thing. He certainly didn't look sorry or had acted as if he were that eager or willing to make it up to her. In fact, what made him think she was upset about his absence? He hadn't seemed to care for a while now. She remembered how upset she had gotten that day with Derrick and the boys and wondered if someone had tipped him off, which would be quite embarrassing…It couldn't be Kristen or Alicia, they weren't that stupid, or Dylan – she wasn't that suckish at revenge. Maybe it was one of the guys, but they probably didn't want Dempsey too close to Massie, after her history with Derrick. She glanced up at Claire…hmmm…Claire and her morals…I guess I'll have to ask our little blondie later Massie sighed inwardly and hit the 'REPLY' option.
Oh, yeah, LOL, that's ok. I'll have 2 check if I'm free on Wednesday, k? Txt ya l8er ;) 3
Massie's thumb stabbed the 'SEND' button and she saw Dempsey jump as his phone vibrated silently. He ignored it and turned his attention back to Claire.
"Hey, Dempsey, you wanna walk?" Massie asked sweetly. Claire and Rick raised their eyebrows at each other and Massie scowled at them.
"Um, well…maybe later, eh? This thing about Rick's parents is awesome, why don't you listen too?" Dempsey replied, as if he was irritated.
"No, thanks. Alicia said she was gonna meet me soon," Massie replied and walked off giving them a small wiggle of her fingers, before leaving. She heard someone wolf-whistle while she was walking out, so she turned around and winked to the direction of the noise, and then strutted out.
"Now, to find Will…" Massie smirked.
"Cousin, is that you?" a Spanish voice asked.
"Si, Nina, it's me," Alicia whispered into her mobile. She didn't know why she was whispering, because she was in the recording room alone.
"The dates for your arrival have been set, you're leaving at the end of this month, ok? The rest of the info is in an email I just sent you, ok? BTW, the sisters are soooooo jealous," Nina laughed.
"Nice, mija (I dunno if that's Spanish or not, but you can't say I never tried)! Thank you, but what about school?" Alicia gulped the last part.
"Private tuitions, duh! For you and all of the people in it," Nina sighed as if it was obvious. "Don't worry, they've got the best, so you won't miss out on your fancy private school education."
"Excellent, thank you so much! Bye," Alicia cheeped, Nina bid her goodbye in Spanish and hung up.
Alicia groaned and flopped into the chair. She hung her head back, her long, vivacious hair falling across the back of the chair. She wondered whether she should leave Josh and her friends for some modeling tour. Oh, am I crazy? It's a modeling tour! Where do you get chances like that? Massie wouldn't reconsider – she'd jump at the chance! I'm gonna do this! Alicia nodded to herself.
"Alicia?" a voice asked from the doorway. Alicia jumped up in her seat. It was Josh, his thick black hair messy, his dark eyes staring at her intently.
"Oh! Josh! Hi," Alicia smiled and Josh closed the door behind him. "I didn't know we were going to meet today," Alicia added.
"You're here anyway," Josh replied and Alicia nodded. "Were you busy?"
"No, no, I was just talking to Nina – it's okay, I'm done now," Alicia said, and Josh blushed at Nina's name. They remembered how easily she had managed to seduce every guy in Briarwood.
"Really? What did she want?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing, just that I'm off at the end of this month," Alicia said simply, even though her flat stomach was churning.
"What? So quickly?!" Josh gasped; Alicia looked up at him and shrugged. "Um, well, then…ok."
He looked down at the floor, not knowing what to say next.
"Let's go have lunch, I'm hungry," Alicia admitted and stood up, even though she normally wouldn't eat in front of him, she didn't care. Why should she? She'll be in Spain soon anyway.
"Hey, you go on without me. I have to make a call, I'll catch up in a minute," he ignored the hurt look on Alicia's face as she walked out. He dialed in a number and the receiver picked up on the third ring.
"Dude!" Derrick Harrington practically screamed into the phone.
"Hey, man," Josh smiled. It'd been a while since he'd been able to connect with his friends properly. A lot had been on his mind.
"What up, Joshy?" Derrick teased in a girly voice, trying to copy Alicia. Nice try Josh snorted, thinking of Alicia's smooth, velvety voice.
"Alicia's moving to Spain at the end of November," Josh growled. A moment of silence.
"Go stop her," Derrick replied shortly.
"No way, man! This is her dream, and I know she'll stay if I tell her to, so…no," Josh shook his head.
"Then get over her," Derrick sighed.
"She's still here. We're still together," Josh knew perfectly well that the idea of getting over someone was to find someone else.
"Yeah, then break up with her. She's going to Spain? Fine. But why should you stay with her until then? It's all your game now. Why wait till she's gone?" Derrick challenged. "Plus think of all the other chicas out there."
Josh thought hard. The only girls he'd ever been interested in here were Nina, who was also in Spain, Alicia herself and Claire, who was with Cam. He didn't know what made him say it, but the thought of the cute blonde gave him a slip of the tongue.
"Claire Lyons," he gasped.
"Wait – dude, did you just say Claire Lyons?" Derrington demanded.
"No, no, I said…Blair Myers," Josh lied quickly.
"Um, whose that? Anyway, whatever, dude. Look, break it with Alicia and then set your sights on this Blair, ok? It'll be fine, yeah?" Derrick encouraged.
"Yeah, thanks man. Bye," Josh snapped his phone shut. "Blair Myers here I come," he chuckled and walked out the door.
