The Block Estate
Outside the Range Rover
Saturday, February 28
12:15 P.M.
Massie examined her reflection in the tinted window of the Range Rover. She glossed her lips once more so that they tasted strongly of cinnamon. 'A perfect ten' she thought to herself. And why shouldn't she be? She'd been getting ready for her date with Derrington since 10:00! She slowly opened the door and got in. She took out her cellphone, and text messaged Claire.
I'm on my way! have fun with cam this afternoon.
Massie looked expectantly at her phone. Claire was psyched to have Cam coming over so that she could tell him all about everything that had happened to them since they had last talked. Within a minute Massie's message was answered.
thnx, u 2!
Massie smiled and closed her phone. She started grinding her teeth, passing the remaining time between her house and the movie theater nervously. She was excited to see Derrington and tell him all about what had happened to them in the woods. She started to clench her knuckles, anticipating their meeting, envisioning every last detail.
She pictured Isaac dropping her off in front of the theater and herself glamorously stepping out to meet a smiling Derrington with his hair shagging into his face. His purple kneecaps would be shivering from anticipation, or possibly cold. Her would take her hand and pull her toward him, whispering softly
"It's been too long." Then he would kiss her romantically and they would not care that there were tons of people around watching them. Then Isaac would cough and they would break apart embarrassed. They would hold each others' hands and walk shyly into the theater.
Suddenly Isaac really did cough. Massie realized that they had arrived at the movie theater. She carefully fluffed her hair once and reached out to open the door.
