The Block Estate
Massie's Bedroom

"YOU WHAT?" Massie gasped. Her parents looked pleased (with their news, not their daughter's outburst).
"We thought you'd be excited," Kendra gushed. "She really does seem like a sweet girl -"
As her mom continued rattling off useless facts, Massie immediately began texting her friends behind her back.
MASSIE: OMG a new girl is coming to OCD
ALICIA: What? Who?
CLAIRE: How do u kno?
DYLAN: Yeah how do u kno?
KRISTEN: Plz tell me she's not staying in ur guesthouse..
Of course, Massie didn't know what her friends were texting back, but that wasn't important. She needed to get the news out, and fast. This girl was going to be labelled an LBR before she even set foot in town.
MASSIE: Mom & Dad told me. Her dad's a biz partner w/ mine
"That's nice, mom. But I kind of need to do something," Massie said, shooing her parents out of her room.
MASSIE: Make her an LBR. Got it?
DYLAN: Done
ALICIA: Done
KRISTEN: Done
After her parents left her room, Massie scrolled through her text messages.
MASSIE: Kuh-laire?
CLAIRE: Sry. And done.
--------------------
Claire felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. The Pretty Committee hadn't even met the girl yet and they were declaring her an LBR. She felt totally guilty over it, but decided (for the millionth time) that agreeing with Massie was better than being labelled an LBR herself.
