Sorry it's so short, I really haven't got time for more this week. More over the weekend hopefully. Please R&R, but don't be too brutal, it's my first in a long time. Thanks!R


Octavian Country Day School

Math Class

Friday, February 27

11:23 A.M.

Massie was practically asleep. Her math teacher was just droning on and on and on about negative integers or something. Massie longed to hear from Derrington. She needed to tell him that she was not expelled. Nobody else was in her class, so she couldn't take out her cellphone unnoticed. She watched the clock, waiting for 11:25 when she could leave for lunch. The minutes droned on like hours. What did she care about dumb negative integers and reciprocals and such? She was bored to death with no one to talk to or text message. Finally, finally, the clock hit 11:25 and she was FREE!

Massie raced out of the classroom, whipping her cellphone out like a gun as she ran toward the cafeteria. The screen blinked: New Message. She breathed in deeply and opened the message.

Hey Block. We r finally on the way back from LP. Last 2 days sucked w/out u. how r u? hope ur parents rnt 2 mad. If ur allowed we could do something Saturday…. Cant wait 2 c u!D

Massie smiled before starting to text Derrington back. She was so excited to tell him that they were back into OCD. She hit reply and started typing her message furiously fast.

Hey Derrick! I'd love 2 do sumthing Saturday, and I'm not in trouble, cause WE R BACK IN! yay! Cant wait 2 c u either! xxooBlock

Massie almost deleted the "xxoo" but hit send anyway. She decided that since they had kissed, it was not weird. She flipped her phone shut and put it back in her pink Coach purse.
