The Pretty Comittee Is Back

Chapter 1

Block Estate, 5:00 A. M.

Massie Block could hardly stay awake, but she managed to get out of bed and climb into the shower. The only way Massie woud stay awake was if she turned on the radio that was attached to her shower wall. She turned it on; Pink's "Lets Get The Party Started" started running through her ears. Massie usually loved the mornings, but today was totally diff. It was her first day of eighth grade, and she was ultra worried. What would she wear? She never went shopping yesterday becuse she spent the whole day with Leesh, aka Alicia Riveras, her beautiful best friend, at Six Flags. But what Massie was really worried about was what Derrington thought of her- did he still like her like Leesh had said? She hoped so.

When Massie got out of the shower, she immediatley put a towel around her, and on her hair (gently so she wouldn't rub away the smell of her "Drama Clean" shampoo by Herbal Essences), and ran to her enormous, designer filled, walk-in closet.

"What to wear..." Massie said to herself quietly. Finally, she pulled out a Juicy Couture pair of designed jeans, her DKNY torquitse mini dress, and a pair of Dior torquitse heels. She looked ah-mazing. She admired her outfit in her wall mirror, making sure it was p e r f e c t. Then she hurried to her hair table. She plugged in her straightener and began to straighten her shoulder length hair. When she finished that, it was only 5:45. She decided to see if her puppy, Bean, liked her outfit as much as she did. She barked loudly which usually meant : Gorgeous, babe. But after admiring herself with her puppy, she had forgotten something VERY important- her make-up. She ran back into her closet and sat down at her make-up table. She put sparkley light blue eye shadow, with a small touch of silver, to bring out the sequin in her mini. She put very little blush on, besides, she had on a light outfit, and she didnt want to look that dark. Then it was the hard part- which gloss would go best with her eye-catching outfit? She finally decided on a N.Y.C sparkle 'n' shine lip glass. Then, once again, Massie looked at herself in her mirror. She looked even more gorgeous than before.

"This day will be a breeze, I mean, look at me, I look Ah-mazing." Massie said to Bean, then looked at the clock. 6:30. She had an hour before she started her car-pool in her limo. Since she still had an hour, she decided to check her messages on her pink razor phone. 3 new messages. First one from Kristen:

"Mass, can you bring me something to wear today? I am absolutley empty on ideas, and I have NO IDEA what to wear. Please and thanks. If you want, snap a pic of what you're wearing, and send it to me real quick . . . ha ha, I know, right? Thank you, love you. Byes, see ya in the car-pool."

She took a quick pic of her-self, and e-mailed it to Kristen. Then she read the other messages.

Second from Derrington.

"Hey Massie, I was just wondering, maybe on Saturday you would want to go see a movie or something . . .you know, as a date . . .well, call me after school to let me know . . .love ya! Bye."

Third from Dylan.

"Hey lovely, I was wondering if me, you, Alicia, and Kristen wanted to plan our summer dance . . .I already called the school, and they said it was kk. Talk to you in the car-pool. Love you, bye!"

"Wow, big day already..and Eh-magawd Derrington asked me out! I cant wait to tell the girls!" Massie said, and grabbed a couple cute things for Kristen and ran downstairs to get her stuff ready.

"Are you ready to go, Miss Block?" Her limo driver, Dean, said as she came down the stairs, looking like a model.

"Yes. Just one sec," she said quickly, and ran into the bathroom to take one last look at herself before entering the biggie. The year before High-School. Massie had to admit to herself she was a little nervous. But she thought again, and she decided she looked way to good to be nervous.

"Bunny, you look ah-dorable," Kendra said to her daughter.

"Thanks, Ma, you do, too." And Massie wasn't lying. Her mother was in a Naydonna Woman's purple silk suit with a cute diamond flower pin on the collar, with a pair of Doolcee and Gabanna pink flats. To top it all off, her make-up was all pink and white, to match the pin and shoes, and her hair was down and curly with her new blonde high-lights.

"Thanks, Bunny. Now get your cute butt moving. You'll be late."

"Kk. Bye, Ma,"and she kissed her mom, grabbed her mini jean jacket, and jumped into the limo.

Massie's Limo

7:20 A. M.

The first stop on Massie's car-pool was Kristen. When she got in, Massie imeadiatley understood why she had asked for clothes help.

"Did you bring anything for me to try on, Mass?" Kristen asked immediately.

"Yep. All sorted out from jeans, to coats, to sweaters, ect." Massie said, smiling widely.

"Eh-magosh. Thank you, Mass! Your a life saver," Kristen said, trying on all the clothes. When Dylan's stop came next, Kristen had already picked out an ah-mazing outfit. She picked out a pair of JLo ripped jeans, a Juicy Couture White Laced Tank, and a Baby Blue Hollister Hoodie that said "Hollie" written across the chest.

"You guys look great today, 'specailly you, Mass. And whats with all the cloth- eh-magawd! Ah-dorable cashmere sweater, Mass! May I?" Dylan said excitedly.

"You may," Massie said sweetly. She loved it when people asked to wear her clothes. It meant they liked them. She really like Dylan's outfit. Very Summer chic. An AE mini ripped mini skirt, the red laced tank top to match her hair, and the perfect touch was the cashmere. She looked great. Almost as great as Massie, but not quite. Then it was Leesh's stop. She was wearing a long pair of Gucci jeans, with a long sleeved pink and white striped bebe shirt.

"You look fabulous, Leesh," Massie said to Alicia when she entered the limo.

"Thanks, Massie, right back atcha," Alicia said, and they all giggled. Massie loved it when this point of the day came. Her best friends, a limo, and blaring music. She ah-dored it.

OCD...7:55 A. M.

As Massie, Kristen, Dylan, and Alicia got out of the limo, they all looked like models compared to every one else. They walked down the hall, giggling and chating, when Massie finally remebered Derrington's message on her phone.

"OMG ehmagawd! I cant bah-leave I forgot to tell you!" Massie said, stopping dead in front of them.

"WHAT?" Kristen, Alicia, and Dylan said at the same time.

"Derek Derrington asked me to the movies on Friday! You know, the guy I am NUTS for." Massie giggled after, and so did the other three.

"Well, Mass, what did you say!" Dylan said.

"I didn't say anything yet, he told me to call him after school. And I love it how they started school on a Friday!" Massie said excitedly. Then the four of them started to jump up and down. They were happy for Massie. It was her first date and boyfriend.

"Oh yeah, our sleepova is tonight too, isnt it!" Kristen said stupidly.

"DUH!" Alicia said, and punched Kristen in the arm. They both laughed then Dylan and Massie joined in.

"So, what's the theme, Mass?" Leesh asked curiously as they sarted walking toward their first class, linking arms.

"I was thinking yoga. We all need the excersise after the summer."

"Good idea, I think i gained a couple of pounds." Dylan said slapping her stomach.

"Me too," Kristen said.

"Well then its settled. See you guys after class. Ex and Ohs. Loves ya," Massie said, and waved good-bye to her friends.
