What Doesn't Kill You
A Clique Fan Fiction
Chapter 36
A/N: If you would like to request a song to be the theme for a chapter, please do-especially if it would help with a plot line for another character because since Massington is my favorite, I tend to focus on them a lot more than the others.

I know you like me. I know you do.
That's why whenever I come around she's all over you.
I know you want it. It's easy to see.
And in the back of your mind I know you should be with me
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?

Massie Block smirked as Olivia Ryan-it seemed she always went for Massie's exes-walked by on the arm of James. As soon as she spotted Massie, she clung to him even tighter, whispering in his ear, a sneaky grin on her face. Massie rolled her eyes as she closed her locker and started walking towards Derrick. Olivia was an even bigger idiot than Massie had realized. It was quite clear to everything that James liked Massie-he actually did, and he actually wanted her back. Olivia knew that too though, clearly. That was the only reason that explained how her sluttiness went up about ten scale degrees on the SLUT scale whenever Massie walked by. She was all over James whenever Massie passed and it honestly sickened the clean cut, lady-like Massie Block. It wasn't that she was a prude-she just wasn't as...provacative as Olivia tended to be.

"Hey Mass," James smiled, calling over his shoulder as he passed by her. Massie shrugged as she crossed the hallway and slid her hands over Derrick's eye, trying to shake off the newfound knowledge of how much James really wanted her. It wasn't like it was hard to see...but it was hard. She'd seen Olivia's glare at it's appearance as soon as Massie was within eyesight. She knew it was for her, but it killed her to know that. She didn't want there.

"Guess who?" She whispered in, standing on tiptoes to reach his ear.

"Can I have a hint?" Derrick asked playfully.

"She's cute...trendy...smart...funny...and you happen to find her completely and totally sexy," Massie lowered her voice even more. "Oh, and she's going to be really mad if you get this wrong," She giggled.

"Well, it couldn't be Massie Block, could it?" He asked, spinning around and grabbing her hands in his left hand and using his right hand to hold her face as he kissed her. She smiled as she kissed him back, freeing her hands from his and wrapping them around his neck. It was the first Friday after James had moved here and Massie was a little upset to know that her and Derrick's fake relationship would be over until the weekend.

"I think James is wishing his girlfriend was as hot as you," Derrick whispered in her ear as he wrapped an arm around her and started to walk from the school.

"Do you wish I was as big of a freak as Olivia? In bed, I mean," Massie asked softly.

"Well, since I don't have you there anymore..."Derrick teased. Massie slapped his arm playfully. "I'm kidding!" He protested. "You were better than her anyways," He promised.

"You slept with her?" Massie froze. "I don't know why that surprises me, though," Massie sighed as they started walking again.

"Hey," Derrick stopped her, turning her to face him. "It didn't mean anything and she initiated it. I'm a guy, I can't just stop it-especially when she's technically my girlfriend at the time and people know I've had sex with Dylan multiple times and that I had it with you," He said softly. "But you are the girl I love and you are the only one that it would mean anything with. Understand?" He said, his brown eyes locking on her amber ones.

"I love you," She whispered, reaching towards him and kissing him. And, oh, how she wished this wasn't all just pretend.

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me
Fight the feeling-leave it alone
Cause if it ain't love, it just ain't enough to leave my happy home
Let's keep it friendly-you have to place fair
See I don't care, but I know she ain't gonna wanna share

By the time Derrick had finally stopped kissing Massie and reached his car, Olivia was sitting in the cab, wearing his football sweatshirt that he'd left there. Actually, that was all she was wearing.

"Come on, Derrick...you wish that Massie was as sexy as I was...sure, she's hot and all...but she's so prissy. I'm not like that. I'd give you whatever you wanted," She smiled at him as he stood there stupidly outside of his truck.

"Get dressed, Olivia," He said, crossing his arms.

"Not many boys tell me to get dressed...do you like to be the one to undress me?" She giggled. He rolled his eyes in disgust.

"Olivia, you're a beautiful girl and you've got so much to offer. Why do you have to sell yourself out like a slut?" He asked her.

"Because that's what guys want," She grinned, her voice low as she leaned in closer to him.

"When guys want that, they don't want a relationship. They want sex. And then they keep coming back for more of just that," Derrick shook his head.

"It makes me so much more fun. Is Massie fun like me?" Olivia teased, crawling towards him and sliding her hands pup his shirt, wrapping them around his neck and pulling him into the cab. Derrick shook his head as he pushed her off of him and sat up straight, handing her her jeans and her shirt.

"Get dressed, okay?" He said, not looking at her. "Whatever this feeling you have for me is...just leave it alone, okay? Because I don't love you and I do love Massie. And I'm not going to let something as silly as lust keep me from being with her. That's not going to break us up again. We're together and I've finally got her back. I won't lose her again," Derrick said.

"You wanna keep this friendly? Fine with me," Olivia glared, grabbing her jeans and pulling them on. "But, everybody knows you two are just pretending so Massie can bug James. The only person who doesn't know it's all just make believe is James," Olivia said as she pulled her tee shirt on over her head. "See, I just don't care," Olivia said. "If you wanna be with her-I'll give you what she won't," She offered as she opened the door and started to slowly slid out.

"But Massie doesn't share. And I honestly don't want to be shared when it comes to her. She gets all my attention. And all my love." Derrick said and shook his head, slightly amused as Olivia slid from the car and slammed his door.

"What did she want?" Massie asked, sliding into his truck.

"What?" Derrick turned towards her. "What are you doing? What about your car?"

"Kristen and Alicia are going crazy as they fight over who's going to get to drive it. I wanted to be with you. To talk about us. Now what did she want?" Massie smiled cheerfully.

"To offer to give me what you won't," He said.

"So you gonna go it?" Massie asked him playfully.

"You know what? I was thinking about it," He teased her.

"Well, say no. Because I don't want to be pretend anymore. We're officially boyfriend and girlfriend, okay?" Massie said, turning his radio on and putting on Big Frog, his favorite country station.

"One condition," He grinned as the Luke Bryan song came on.

"Yeah?" She asked.

"When we get to my house today...I want you to dance to this for me," He smiled as Country Girls played.

"Perv," She giggled, shoving him playfully as he started his drive.

"Only for you," He kissed her on the cheek as he pulled out of the parking lot.
