Chapter 2
(A/N That rhymed :P)
Claire watched as the four girls turned around in sync, as if had been choreographed. They were beautiful with shimmering hair and flawless complexion. Claire noted that they were all dressed in designer clothes. They were all smiling but she noted that the two brunette girls look annoyed.
"Hey, babe," Josh said going to sit with the beautifully tan girl.
Ah that explained her irritation. Claire tried to think positive non-threatening thoughts to the girl.
Don't worry, I'm not interested. He's all yours.
"So who is this, Derrick?" Asked the other brunette girl, who still had that look of forced good natured-ness on her face.
"Oh right," He announced. "This is our new friend, Claire. You should see her on the ramp."
Claire found herself blushing at Derrick's introduction. She doubted these girls had ever been on a skateboard.
"Eh. Ma. Gawd. You're Claire Lyons! The movie star!" The blond girl shrieked. Claire found herself blushing even brighter. She began to worry that she'd never be able to stop the redness coloring her cheeks.
"Take a chill pill, Kris." The aggravated brunette stated in an authoritative tone. She then turned her eyes to Claire. The girl's eyes critically examined Claire from hair to shoe. She stuck her hand out and offered her name. "Massie Block."
Claire took her hand and they shook. She noted the strength behind the other girl's handshake.
There was an uncomfortable silence for a few seconds before the red haired girl piped in. "I'm Dylan, we met when you were on my mom's show before Dial L. You probably don't remember it was while ago…"
Claire took a moment to look at Dylan. She had looked familiar. "No I do remember you; you told me all the gossip about Hadley and Abbey!" She began to laugh at the memory.
Dylan's eyes lit up. "Eh. Ma. Gawd. You do remember! These are my other friends Alicia," pointing at the girl with Josh's arm around her shoulder. "And this is Kristen." She said pointing at the athletic blond who was trying to look relaxed but practically vibrating in her seat.
Claire was beyond happy to finally recognize someone. She sat down next to the still chattering red head. The boys had lost interest in the conversation as soon as the pizza had arrived and were all happily stuffing their faces. She grabbed a piece and noticed the shock on Alicia's face.
She just grinned back and took a large bite out of it. Dylan looked pleased and grabbed her own piece.
"So Kuh-Laire," Massie said in an almost sickly sweet manner. "Why are you in little old Westchester? Are you a has-been already?"
Claire was surprised by the hostility in Massie Block's eyes. The girls all watch enraptured waiting for her response. The boys were oblivious, of course, talking about soccer or something.
"I just wanted a break from the craziness, I just wanted a normal high school experience, you know?"
Massie nodded in mock sympathy. "It must be so hard for you to move around so much, you must have like no friends right?"
Claire didn't know what to say to that, but luckily Cam decided to break in.
"Hey do any of you guys wanna go to the game room with us?"
Claire immediately jumped at the chance to escape Massie. Seeing this Dylan and Kristen also quickly rose from their seats. Alicia seemed to be unwilling to go without Massie but her eyes followed them while the small group walked to the game room at the other side of the restaurant.
The boys quickly jumped into some racing game. Claire walked over to the air hockey table. The two girls followed her appearing uncomfortable.
She pulled out a few dollars. "Who wants to go first?"
They didn't move at first but Kristen slowly picked up the paddle on the opposite side. She seemed hesitant at first but her competitive nature won out and she beat Claire. Claire passed her paddle to Dylan who protested but couldn't say no to Claire's puppy dog eyes.
Dylan wasn't very good honestly but Claire made sure to cheer loudly for both sides. By now the boys had wandered over and were laughing and joking along with them.
Dylan lost gracefully and passed her whacker to Josh who cracked his knuckles playfully and began to lose quickly. Derrick was up next he took it very serious his eyes narrowed in concentration. He managed to beat Kristen by one point. She looked disgruntled and told Derrick that there would be a rematch, but after a minute of observing the next round was happily cheering for Cam to beat "the no good cheater."
Even Alicia and Massie came over to view their little tournament. Cam beat Derrick by complete luck after Derrick accidently scored on himself.
Everyone was shocked when Massie decided it was her turn. She crushed Cam and waited for a new opponent. The only one who hadn't gone was Alicia and she refused due to her new manicure. Finally Claire stepped up and said she'd like another round.
The two stood a table length apart; there's was no playfulness in this game. Massie got the first hit, slamming it next to Claire's goal. It ricocheted back to her and she hit again with the same determination. Claire hit it this time but unfortunately passed it right to Massie who scored.
Massie 1- Claire 0
Claire was really in the zone now she tapped it lightly to set up the shot then slammed in to the goal on the opposite end.
Claire 3- Massie 2
The boys began to take bets. The girls were cheering loudly, Dylan and Kristen switching between the two names.
Massie managed to get one in the goal in one stroke and she began to smirk at her imminent victory.
Massie 6- Claire 5
The room seemed to tense there was no more cheering the game was tied at 6. Match point. The two girls were eying each other warily. This was not a friendly game and neither of them was willing to lose.
The puck hit the table, Massie hit it with all of her force it missed the goal. It came back and she struck it again. Once more it came back she lined up the shot and slammed into the puck. She began to raise her arms in celebration. It was a perfect shot there was no way- Claire's paddle struck the puck and Massie's eyes widened. She tried to recover and stop the puck from slipping through. The air went off and like her paddle, Massie's heart sank.
Everyone cheered, some money was exchanged, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Well almost everyone, Massie was clearly not used to losing as she seemed very stiff when Derrick made a comment that he "lost money because of you." He said it jokingly in a good natured way but she looked beyond annoyed.
"Come on girls, Isaac's here, best not to keep him waiting. See ya guys." She then walked away while the other girls hastily said their goodbyes and power walked to catch up with her.
The four remaining of the group finished off their sodas and rode home.
