I know that I'm telling you a lot about Massie, but after this chapter, it will get very exciting.

FROST BOARDING SCHOOL

THE BACK FIELD

Thursday, March 4th

8:17 am

Massie was sitting on a bench with Kristen, face to face, eating cheerios. This was the only meal so far that she actually enjoyed: cereal, a banana, an apple, and orange juice. Sitting on the balcony just above them was Kailey Bernard, with a perfect view of Massie. Too bad Massie couldn't see her, because David was heading her way.

"Hey Massie," He said, sitting down next to her.

"How's it going?" She said, sipping some orange juice.

"Fine. So do you go to this school?" David asked, wondering why she wasn't wearing a uniform. He was wearing one of the only decent guy uniforms you could get. A white tee-shirt, a green blazer, and orange fancy pants.

"It's a long story, but I'll be here until the 7th," Massie said, trying to look hot. David ah-bviously though she didn't have to try hard. They both turned their heads to Kristen and saw her gazing across the field at Eddie.

"Kristen, what are you looking at?" David asked, waving his hand in front of her face.

"Oh, you know, the scenery. The trees are so beautiful," Kristen lied.

"Yeah right. You are totally crushing on Eddie Sharman," he said.

"Is it that obvious?" Kristen asked.

Massie and David looked at each other and rolled their eyes. "YES!" They said together, and started laughing, and Kristen just nibbled on her toast.

"You know, I could talk to him for you," He said, with a small smile.

"Seriously? Thanks! Wait, what's the catch?" Kristen asked.

"Well, Massie has to say yes to going out with me," He said, grabbing her hand.

"Aren't you going out with Kailey?" Massie said, taking her hand away. Its not that she didn't want to hold his hand. Of course she did, but she would be so dead if Kailey was listening or watching… and she was…

"I guess… but you know, guys like me like to live on the wild side," He said as he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hmmm… well then, bring it on! I'd love to go out with you," She said, kissing him back on the cheek.

"Here, I'll give you my number. Call me, kay?" He said, writing his number on her hand. Massie stared at it for a couple seconds so she could know it in case it washed off. 1-536-652-7624

"I'll go talk to Eddie," He said as he got up and walked over to the guy who was playing football with another kid. Kristen just sat there staring at Massie, as she had been doing a lot lately.

"You really need to stop freaking out. It's not like Kailey knows…" Massie stopped when she saw Kristen's frightened gaze again. Massie sulked down in her seat. "She's behind me, isn't she?"

"Yup. She is," Kailey said, and grabbed Massie by the ponytail, messing up her perfectly messy, floppy bun. Massie stood up and wasn't even close to being as tall as her, even in her strappy Givenchy high heals.

"How are you EVERYWHERE?" Massie squealed as people began to gather, and Kristen just sat there with her head in her hands.

"Were you not listening to me yesterday? I'm the ruler of this school, and I know what's going on, everywhere, every second," Kailey explained. Everyone watching felt really bad for Massie, because now she had met the wrath of Kailey Bernard, and that is something even Godzilla couldn't beat. Of course Kailey thought that everyone loved her, but no one really did.

For once, Massie was speechless. It wasn't really going home that she was afraid of. It was her eyes. Those eyes that were big and blue were filled with anger and looked like they were ready to kill someone.

"I warned you to stay away from my boyfriend. Now go pack up your stuff and you'll be on your way," She said as she shoved Massie into the bench. She was too shocked to fight back, but she couldn't appear weak in front of her audience.

As Massie stood up and started walking over to the door, she realized that she was a stuck up bitch. She probably should have realized this before, but now, wherever she went, someone hated her. So, she decided that when she gets back home, which apparently would be very soon, she would find a way to pay back everyone there for treating them like dirt.

Massie and Kristen walked up the stairs slowly. She wasn't too upset because she had only been there for two days, but she would miss everyone loving her and now she would have to go back to OCD! Kristen was actually full of joy because all the attention would go back to her, but for now, she had to at least pretend to have pity on her friend.

After five minutes of gathering her things, principle Cheryl came through the door and stood with her hands on her hips.

"So you're telling me that you have been hiding out with Kristen Gregory, for two days?" Cheryl said, looking Massie straight in the eye.

"I was planning on five days, but that nasty little demon, Kailey snitched on me," Massie said, as she grabbed her bag and hoisted it over her shoulder.

"Well, we called a taxi for you, contacted your parents, and you will be home in a few hours," Cheryl said, and sneered at Massie. She couldn't believe that the little girl got away with sneaking in to school without any teachers seeing her. They would definitely need to get a new security system.

Now Kristen was all alone again and totally happy. She collapsed onto her bed and Ally walked in. "I heard Massie got busted," she said, grabbing her books from her back pack and sitting down on her bed.

"Uh-huh," Kristen said as she walked over to her desk. She grabbed her books too. Class started in fifteen minutes, so she was about to go fix her makeup, but what was sitting on her desk fascinated her more. There was a pair of sapphire blue earrings on her desk. They had tinted blue crystals dangling off of a big blue hoop.

"Hey, are these yours?" Kristen asked Ally, who was reading Nancy Drew.

"Definitely not. They look like they're 1,000. Probably Massie's," she said, examining the earrings. Kristen brought the earrings to the bathroom and washed them with soap.

"Hope so," she said as she put them through her ears and left for the library to return a couple books. As she walked right across the hall, she saw the principle so she smiled brightly. After what happened today with Massie, she wanted to have a good impression for the rest of the year.

"Hi principle Cheryl," Kristen said, holding her head high and waving.

"Hello," She said, slowing down and staring at her.

"Is something wrong?" Kristen said stopping.

"Well, kind of. Can I take a closer look at your earrings?" She said calmly. Kristen nodded and her heart started beating quickly. Maybe they weren't Massie's…

Cheryl leaned forward and examined them and stood up with a blazing glare. "Those are my earrings!" She yelled. The librarian would have hushed her, but she didn't dare.

"What?" Kristen said. Now her heart felt like a jackhammer.

"I've been looking for those! My husband got them for me! They were 2,000! Those are real blue diamonds! Did you steal those earrings from my office?" Cheryl was red and fuming and raging hot. Kristen decided to just tell the truth.

Kristen pulled out the earrings and gave them to her principle. "I'm really sorry. I just found them in my room and…" She got cut off by Cheryl's hand in front of her face.

"Yeah, right. I'm giving you detention for a week. You're going to need a lot of work these next couple months if you are going to learn how to be a mature adult. You're detention starts after school, at 3:00 sharp. Room 106. Don't be late," She said as she walked off. Kristen took a deep breath and tried to figure out how Cheryl's earrings got in her room. Was Massie trying to play a trick on her? Did she bring them in from her office? Well, now it didn't matter who did it, but she would have to watch out because this school took NO excuses.

3:02

Kristen slowly walked down the steps toward room 106. She wanted to be a couple minutes late so she could make a nice entrance. When she opened the door, she looked around and only saw one empty seat…

NEXT TO EDDIE SHARMAN!

"Sorry I'm late," she said as she smoothed her hair and sat down next to Eddie. He smiled his totally amazing smile and she smiled her not-so-fabulous-but-still-stunning smile.

"Hollo," He said in a weird squeaky voice, trying to sound weird. Kristen was excited to spend an hour with him and see if he was more that just a pretty smile.

"Hey," She said and smoothed her hair.

"So what are you in for?"

"It's a long story. But to make it short, Cheryl's earrings ended up on my ears. And she didn't give them to me," She said and Eddie laughed, harder than her had too.

"Well, I flooded the guy's bathroom, on purpose. I know, I'm a total bad boy aren't I! I live for adventure!" He exclaimed and started laughing again. If this went on for much longer, she would get a major migraine.

"Wow, yeah. You are a daredevil," She said, kidding around and he laughed even harder. How could she not have seen this coming? The totally hot guy turns out to be a total loser.

"I'm really hungry," he said. He checked to see if the teacher was watching, which she wasn't, and he reached into his bag and pulled out a froot loops bar. Kristen winced when he chewed the bar, he looked like a garbage truck mashing up garbage, except he was messier.

"So are you going to the dance next month?" He said with his mouth full.

"I guess."

"Well then! So am I! How amazing is that! Two people who obviously like each other are going to the same dance!" He exclaimed and cackled as food flew out of his mouth.

"I don't like you," She said coolly, and his smile turned into a frown.

"But from what David said to me today, I really thought—"

"Well, a girl's mind can change very quickly. And for further advice, if you're going to ask out a girl, don't laugh. It's not attractive," She said as she took out her geography homework and she didn't even take one glance to see if he was okay.
