Claire pulled Layne away from Meena and Heather. "You guys know the plan, right?" she turned around to check to make sure. They all nodded. "Okay. It's go time." Claire and Layne walked out of the crowded lunchroom and into Nurse Adele's office. "Is it okay if we eat here today?" Claire asked her.
"Of course! You can both sit on those benches over there." She gestured to some cushioned waiting chairs in the corner. "What brings you guys here?"
"Well…" Claire hesitated. She didn't want a staff member to be involved, but then she remembered all of the times Nurse Adele had helped her. Claire and Layne took turns telling the whole story. After they were done, the bell rang. "Bye Nurse Adele! Thanks for the help!"
Claire and Layne separated and went to their lockers. When Claire was finished, she closed her locker and found Massie waiting on the other side.
"Heyy. Where were you at lunch today?" Massie demanded, her amber eyes narrowing. "Were you with Mandy?"
"No, no! I swear." Claire looked at Massie standing there with her hands on her hips. Her expression said, "I don't believe you."
Claire sighed. "I promise on sours. You can even ask Layne! She wasn't feeling well so she wanted me to eat lunch with her in Nurse Adele's office. Massie looked at Claire suspiciously.
"Fine. Are you going to the study session today?"
"Yeah. Are you?"
"Yup. Okay. I got to get to Algebra or Mrs. Singer will shoot me." Massie waved and departed down the hall. Claire headed towards Science, a sinking feeling in her stomach. She wasn't going to be able to keep this up much longer.

Massie looked at the teacher to make sure she was sleeping. "Okay. Are you guys ready for Part 2 of 3?" Dylan, Kristen, and Alicia all nodded eagerly. "Claire is with Cam and Derrington. Dylan, distract them so Claire doesn't blow a fuse." Dylan nodded. "Kristen? You have to make sure Mrs. Rhode doesn't wake up. And if she does, distract her and talk loudly so I can finish up." Kristen nodded. "Alicia? You can make sure no teachers or parents are coming in the room. If they are, ask Dylan or Kristen for some lip-gloss loudly." Alicia nodded. "Everyone got it? Good. Let's move."
Massie smoothed her hair, applied a new coat of gloss, and then stood up on a table. "Everyone! Can I have your attention?" All of the students turned to look at Massie. She smiled when she saw Patricia Hallman, the girl who couldn't keep a secret. "Who wants to watch a movie? I brought some that I'm sure Mandy Burger would love." She reached into her Christian Dior Diorissimo Hobo bag and pulled out two DVDs. "We have Barney: The Sing-Along Version and Sesame Street: Including Elmo's World."
The students were stunned for a second, then all turned to stare at Mandy. Her bright red face was all of the evidence they needed. They burst into laughter. They immediately started talking. Massie could hear whispers of "I can't believe she still watches that." And "I can't wait to tell everyone about this." Her entire school was gossip hungry and obsessed. This would be like giving meat to a starved lion.
She regrouped with her friends. "Part 2 of 3, done."
"Done."
"Done."
"And done."

"Oh my god, Massie, that was brilliant!" Dylan squealed the second they piled into the car.
"It was soo funny to see the look on her face." Alicia smiled at the memory.
"I almost peed my pants. Patricia Hallman looked like she just won American Idol! By the way, where's Claire?" Kristen commented.
"Well, I don't know where Kuh-laire is, but that was freakin' hilarious!" Massie couldn't contain her excitement. We need a big plan that involves all of us for the third part. And then, we need to convince Claire to come on our side. Because if she doesn't, she'll be the most hated person in the grade."
The other girls smiled. "Of course we'll help. I mean, she did try and steal Derrington and that's like the lowest thing that anyone can do."
"Okay. So I'll call you guys tonight and we can plan it."
"Done." The other girls replied.
