THE BLOCK ESTATE
Friday September 22nd6:00 PM
"Okay guys, ratings!" Massie clapped, excited for tonight. She had convinced Sam to go with her as a friend, but that is so nawt what she told the rest of the school. Whoops!
Alicia stepped forward. "In a Black Label Dress by the one and only Ralph Lauren Alicia looks an 8.4"
"Ehmagawd you so did nawt just say that...did u?"
"I'm nawt finished." Massie said sternly and continued after Alicia muttered an apology. "Paired with some Lauren for Ralph Lauren shoes and a bunch of blue clunky bracelets, 10." Alicia let out a sigh of relief.
"And now for Kristin, looking fabulous as always in a purple halter H&M?" Kristin nodded. "With Jimmy Choo flip-flops, Kristin is a 10" Kristin hugged Alicia, Massie refused to give them anything lower on such an occasion.
"Now Dylan," She signaled the red-head to come forward. "Looking extra hawt in a Marc by Marc Jacobs silk dress, size 4." She winked. "And those cuh-yutex10 Paten Ballet flats, hmm 10." Massie looked at Claire who was wearing a new dress thanks to Massie's taunting credit card.
"With her new Jewel Neck Chiffon DKNY dress paired with black lace leggings and as she insisted on her knack ballet flats by Keds, your a 9.8." The girls gasped.
"Why?" Claire looked upset.
"A promised 11 if you loose the keds." Massie tried.
Claire giggled. "So nawt gunna happen."
"Fine, your still a ten." Massie sighed. "Now me." She turned.
"Hmm, purple Kira Plastinina Bubbled dress and purple Lauren for Ralph Lauren shoes thanks to moi..."
"Ten."
"Ten."
"Ten."
"and Ten."
"Good." Massie smiled, because of her successful outfit, but also because she was 1 hour away from Derrington and her friends were all back together. Yay!!!

Friday September 22nd7:23 PM
All of the eighth graders were dancing in groups of their friends and boyfriends while the seventh graders hung out with their friends, and the ones who were on the dance floor with a date were talking to their friends.
"I finally understand what Skye meant when she called us the Cheetah Girls." Massie smirked. The rest of them burst out laughing at the memory.
"Heyyy!" The soccer boys strolled on over to them, Sam was with them talking to Derrington.
"Heyy!" The girls chirped and walked over to their dates.
"Hey man, check out that kid by the snacks table." Josh punched Cam.
"Alright! Hey isn't he on our team?" Cam crinkled his eyebrows.
"Yeah! Lets go threaten him!" The two of them ran off to the seventh grade guy stuffing his face with the doughnuts.
"Uh!" Alicia grunted. Claire knew exactly what was happening, Cam was just trying to avoid her and needed someone to be with him so he wouldn't look like a loser.
"Come awn!" Dylan grabbed the Pretty Committee as she walked out onto the dance floor. The crushes followed, and after 3 minutes Cam and Josh were back and dancing with the rest of the group.
Once Just Dance by Lady GaGa came on the gym-turned-dance went crazy.
A red one
Convict
Gaga
I've had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush
(Start to rush by)
A dizzy twister dance
Can't find my drink or man
Where are my keys, I lost my phone
What's going on on the floor?
I love this record baby
But I can't see straight anymore
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright
Derrington grabbed Massie and threw her over his back.
"Ahhh! Derr-ick!" She giggle-screamed while punching his back.
"Hold onnnn!" He screamed as he made a jump-start for the mats surrounding the dance floor. All eyes were on them as they burst out laughing when they landed. Eighth graders were following their lead but the seventh graders had eyes wide open and jaws dropped, amazed by what they could be like next year. Gods and Goddesses
Dylan was laughing along with everyone else, besides, Massie was probably embarrassed beyond belief which was Derrick's goal for his ex. Thank Gawd!
Derrington stood back up and let Massie down to the floor. They were both clutching their highly toned abs and walking back over to the group, who were all on the floor grabbing onto each other so they wouldn't completely fall over.
Just dance, gonna be okay
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance, spin that record babe
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance, gonna be okay
Duh-duh-duh-duh
Dance, dance, dance
Ju-ju-ju-just dance
Once the song finished Taylor Swift's Crazier came on, sending everyone to the food.
"Derrick?" Dylan asked, he followed her. Josh and Alicia went off, so did Kristin and Dune. Sam just shrugged his shoulders and grabbed Massie's dangling hand. Claire was left alone.
I never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
'Til you open the door there's so much more
I've never seen it before
I was trying to fly
But I couldn't find wings
But you came along and you changed everything
They were all slow dances with their dates, soon after the rest of the kids came onto the dance floor and did the same.
"Alright you little lovebirds, time to swa-swa-swa-sawitch partners yall!!!"
Alicia and Cam, Kristin and Sam, Dylan and Dune. And of course, Massie and Derrington. Claire was off to the side dancing with Layne, and no doubt talking about Cam.
You lift my feet off the ground you spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling
And I, I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier
I watched from a distance as you made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know how that would feel
And you made it so real
You showed me something that I couldn't see
You opened my eyes and you made me believe
For the rest of the song Massie and Derrington were attached. They went back and forth trashing everyone's dancing.
"Why is Cam so nervous? He needs to learn to sway nawt bounce." Derrick laughed.
"And what about Duh-livia, doesn't she know-" Massie cut him off right then.
"Hell no!" They both burst out laughing and they got tons of head turns to which they brushed away with one hand swish. By the middle of the song everyone at detached and took out camera phones to video Massie and Derrington, they separated and started posing like models back-to-back, and Dylan finally got what was happening. She ran to the coat check, grabbed her size 4 (OMG!) jacket and ran out the door. Unnoticed.
By the end of the dance everyone was hugging everyone good-bye, Duh-livia came up to Massie but she shooed her away.
"Where's Dyl?" Massie asked. Everyone looked around clueless.
"I'll call her." Alicia offered. "Hey Dyl its Leesh, where are you? Why? Ehmagawd that is s nawt true! On Ralph. Kay, Bye!"
"What was that all about?" Kristin came into the convo.
"Nuh-thing. Lets go to Massie's!" The girls cheered and said bye to the boys.
"Okay, all guys gone, w-" Massie was interrupted by a brunette girl in a trenchcoat and oversized glasses.
"Guys it's me Claire."
"Ehmagawd when did you die your hair?" Kristin joked in a Duh-livia way.
"Shh! I got this from Layne, we have to go to the Fisher's and spy, I have to know how to get Cam back."
"Given." Alicia gave in. "It'll be like ESP all over again." Massie's stomach sunk when she remembered how she had lost the room, but that conversation with the PC would have to wait.
"Kay." Massie smiled. And then as if Dylan had asked Gawd to wait for her she arrived just then. "Lets go!" Massie cheered and texted Isaac with the change of plans, that the dance "was longer than scheduled" and they were off to the Fisher's.
