Claire sighed. The first day of school was not as good as she thought it would be. She needed to talk to Cam, badly. She signed onto AOL Instant Messenger. Claire's eyes scrolled down her buddy list. Cam, Mandy, Kristen, and Dylan were all on. She double clicked on Cam's screen name first.

Claire sat in shock in front of her computer. What was going to happen? She had a feeling that 8th grade was going to be an interesting year.

September 5th
8:56 p.m.
"Hey Derr." Massie smiled into the phone. She slicked on a coat of gloss. Derrington had called her and she had picked up after 3 rings, playing it cool. She had even made up another nickname for him on the spot. The day was going great, with the exception of the new girl.
"Hey Mass. Are you going to do that co-ed study class after school every day?"
"Um… I don't know. I will if you do it."
"Yeah. My mom is making me. So can you do it with me? I asked Cam to do it with me and he asked Claire. And you can ask all of your other friends."
"Yeah, it's a given that I'll do it if you are!" Massie smiled. Derrington wanted her there, needed her there. Ah-bviously she wasn't gonna let him down!
"Thanks so much! Love ya, Mass. Gotta go. Talk to you tomorrow. Remember that's when the class starts so bring your forms!"
"Kay. Love you too. Bye."
Massie smiled. She then walked over to her computer to have a chat room convo with the rest of the Pretty Committee. She wasn't going to be the only one in the study class!
She typed out a chat room invite.
