The Westchester Movie Theater

Ticket Line

September 11th

6:26 p.m.

Massie tapped her black Dioissimo Mule against the tiled floors impatiently. "Ugh. When are we going to get our tickets? The movie starts at 6:30."

Derrington smiled and said, "Don't worry. We're next. See?" Massie looked up at him and smiled.

"Aww. You're so sweet." She smirked.

Derrington pretended he didn't notice her diss "I know."

"Next in line, please."

"Two for The Devil Wears Prada" Massie ordered.

"18 dollars, please." Massie was about to hand the ah-nnoying helper her MasterCard, but Derrington stopped her. He held out a 20-dollar bill and smiled at Massie. She looked shocked at Derrington. She couldn't even believe how sweet he was. "Come on. Let's go in the movie theater." She pulled on his arm.

They took their seats toward the back of the theater. The previews were playing. Massie turned to Derrington. Derrington turned to Massie. They leaned closer. Massie could feel his breath on her lip. She knew that they were going to kiss.

"Ohmygod! I'm so sorry!" She heard a voice that gushed sympathy, but she knew that the owner of that voicedid it on purpose.

"I cannot believe you just did that! I just got this top yesterday!" The truth was, Massie wasn't just mad about the top. After all, she could just get a new one. But she knew that Mandy Burger was ruining her relationship with Derrington. And it had to stop. Now. She pulled Derrington out of his seat and led him out of the theater.

"Why are you overreacting?" Derrington mumbled as she pulled him away.

"You have no idea what she's put me through. Sit." Massie pointed to a bench. "She has made my life a living hell since she got here."

"What did she do? I mean, she's been here for, like, 3 days."

"Number One. She's trying to turn Claire against me. Number Two. She tried to take you from me. Twice. Number Three. She wears Keds. Number Four. She tries to make me miserable. Number Five. She is never, and I repeat, never, going to be In. No matter how hard she tries or how much she changes. She has made me so mad." Massie paced and listed each thing on her fingers as she spoke.

"Wow. That's a lot. And I guess I agree with you. She is a bitch." Derrington suddenly leaned over and kissed Massie on the lips.

The Block Estate

Massie's Bedroom

September 11th

9:45 p.m.

"You mean he actually kissed you and he agreed with you about Mandy?" Alicia screamed.

"Yes!" Massie replied. She held back the phone from her ear, because she thought she was getting some feedback, but then realized it was all of her friends squealing in unison into the phone.

"He will never, and I repeat, never ever dump you for Mandy." Kristen said.

"I know!" Dylan and Alicia agreed.

"Claire? What do you think?" Massie asked. She had been quiet since Kristen started talking.

"Why do you guys hate Mandy so much?" Claire finally spoke up.

"Why do you like her?" Massie returned cheekily, but when she heard Claire sniffle, she spoke again. "I'm just kidding, Kuh-laire. How would you feel if some new girl came and tried to steal your boyfriend, one of your best friends, and ruin your life, wearing Keds? I mean, even you don't wear Keds every day now. Ever since I bought you those white and blue Lacoste Spinderella shoes, you've been wearing those ugly Keds less and less. And I'm proud of you. I want to stay your friend, but Mandy is ruining that."

Claire was silent for a minute. "I'll think about what you said. And I know that both you and Mandy are going to make me choose, so I will when I reach a decision. You guys can't rush me on these kinds of things, okay?"

All of the rest of the girls responded with "I know" and "Okay". Massie had forgotten they were even there. After Claire hung up, Massie had an important three-word message for them.

"Part Three Tomorrow."
