"It could have been an April Fool's joke…" Alicia suggested hopefully. The girls were still smarting from the pain of the boys' behavior at Massie's party the previous say.

"Yeah, 'cause I'm laughing real hard." Claire said with more venom than she intended, but she couldn't help it. She was pissed.

"Know what I say?" Massie asked?

"I'm guessing a seven letter word for revenge?"

"PAYBACK!" Claire and Alicia shouted at the same time, causing Isaac to jump.

"Well…actually…I was thinking we lie in the weeds…like we did after the fashion show…let them be Nina's slaves…and show up to the Spring Fling with totally hot OTHER guys."

"The Spring Fling?" Dylan whined…that's the biggest dance of the year, and I reeeally wanted to go with Chris.

"And I really wanted to go with Derrington, but you don't always get what you want."

Right…Claire thought to herself…coming from Massie Block in the flesh. Alright, so maybe Massie didn't get everything, but she came pretty damn close, which was more than Claire could say for herself. Admittedly, Claire had gotten Cam, which mattered more to her than the material things Massie had, but now that she was losing him, she was starting to once again really envy her friend.

"Does anyone have a better plan?" Claire asked, snapping back to attention after her short rant in her head.

"Why not just march up to them and tell them to stop fawning over Nina?" Kristen suggested.

"Well, that would work for Massie and Claire, because they are, you know, officially going out. Dylan and I, though, we don't technically have any right to tell them who to or not to fawn over, because, well, they aren't romantically linked to us at all." Alicia pointed out.

"Not like they'd listen to Claire and I, anyways." Massie muttered, more to herself than to the group.

"Heyyy," Claire quipped, "I feel that Cam and I have a strong connection, and if I talked to him, I'm sure he'd respect my feelings and leave her alone." Massie rolled her eyes at Claire's naivety. Those boys weren't coming back on accord of their girlfriends, though she had to admit that Claire had a way better chance of keeping Cam than Massie has at keeping Derrington. Not only did they have a really strong relationship, but Nina liked Derrington the most and Massie the least…she wasn't going to let him go easily. Massie found herself becoming oddly jealous of her friend.

"Let's just wait and see what happens today." Massie suggested.

"Done."

"Done."

"Done."

"and Done."

Okay...I'm sorry it took so long...I was REALLY busy, what with exams and then graduation (8th grade, not high school) and then all this drama with my friends, but I finally wrote it. Then it wouldn't let me upload the document until just now, so, you know...but I'll try to update more often now that it's summer vacation!

Also...if anyone has any good ideas, I'd LOVE to hear them...honestly...writers block sucks. I have an idea of where this story is going, but any ideas for little dramatic twists would be wonderful and greatly appreciated. Anyways...I hope you enjoyed it!
