Massie's House
The Backyard
Thursday-4:11 PM
That afternoon, Massie wanted to go shopping. She speed-dialed everyone and had a conference call.
"Is anyone up for some shopping with me today?" she asked.
"I'm in." said Alicia.
"Same." Dylan and Kristen said together.
Massie waited for Claire to answer.
"Sorry, I can't today." Claire finally said.
"Why nawt?" Massie asked.
"Because I have plans with Cam."
"Oh, so you're ditching us for Cam? she asked, feeling outraged.
"Well, I'm not really ditching you guys, I'm just not going with you guys." Claire said.
"Ugh, what's the difference?" Massie scoffed.
"Whatevs, if you're not coming with us, then let's just go right now." said Alicia.
"Ok, see you later, Kuh-laire." Massied said bitterly, snapping her phone shut.
Massie called Issac to pick her friends up and take them to the mall.
The Guesthouse
Claire's Room
Thursday-3:18 PM
Back at the guesthouse, Claire was waiting for Cam to arrive.
What's taking him so long? she wondered. She called Cam's cell phone but it went straight to voice mail.
"Ugh, he better come soon." Claire was beginning to become impatient. Finally after twenty more minutes of waiting, Claire gave up. She logged onto her computer, and sent Cam an e-mail on why he didn't show up for their date.
The Local Mall
Food Court
Thursday-3:45 PM
At the mall, Massie and the rest of the girls were having a lot of fun. They then went to the food court for a break.
Dyland ordered a burger and fries. Kristen ordered a smoothie. Alicia ordered a bagel, while Massie had nothing but water.
"Hey, look at what I can do!" someone exclaimed at a table near them. Massie looked over just in time to see Derrington shove his whole burger into his mouth.
"Ew!" commented Alicia.
"SO immature." Massie rolled her eyes. She said it just loud enough for Derrington to hear.
"Oh yeah?" another voice challenged.
It belonged to Cam.
"Look at this!" He shoved his burger and fries into his mouth.
"Eh" Massie started.
"Ma" Alicia said.
"Gawd!" Kristena and Dylan finished.
"What is he doing here?'" Massie asked.
"I don't know, let's go ask him." Alicia suggested.
They four girls went up to the boys' table.
"Cam, what are you doing here?" Massie asked.
"What do you mean, what are you doing here?" Cam asked, looking puzzled. "Am I not suppose to be here?"
"Aren't you suppose to be with Claire right now?" Kristena asked.
Cam's face blanched. "I am?"
"Yeah, Claire said she had plans with you today." Alicia said.
"Claire said she had plans today?" Cam echoed dumbly.
"That's why she didn't come shopping with us today."
"Shoot," Cam explained, smacking his forehead. "I totally forgot!"
"Ah-bviously." Massie smirked.
"Do you know where she is right now?" he asked desperately.
"Probably back at the guesthouse."
"Thanks, see you guys later!" Cam called, already halfway to the exit doors.
"Poor Cam, he forgot about his date." Kristen said.
"No, poor Claire, she's probably angry and sad that Cam didn't show up." Alicia corrected.
"No, poor-"
"E-nuff!" Massie interuppted.
"Block, do you wanna come eat with us?" Derrington invited.
"No thanks."
After seeing what Derrington had done with his burger, Massie had lost her appetite. But she did sit down with the boys and chat with them. After their break, they went back to shopping.
The Guesthouse
Claire's Room
Thursday-4:07 PM
Back at the guesthouse, Claire was lying on her bed, too depressed to do anything. She heard a screech from outside. She went to her window to see what had caused the noise. She looked outisde and saw Cam taking off his helmet, looking frantic.
What's he doing here now? He should have came thirty minutes ago. Claire thought to herself.
He had ridden his bike over to Claire's house. She heard Cam running up the stairs to Claire's bedroom. He knocked, "Claire, open up please!"
"What do you want?" Claire asked, not opening the door yet.
"Please, just open, I can explain!" Cam called through the door.
"Explain, EXPLAIN?!?!?" Claire exploded. "Yeah, you better explain why you didn't show up for our date!"
"Listen, I'm really sorry!" Cam apologized.
"I waited for half an hour!"
Tears were threatening to fall nto her face. Her doorknob jiggled.
"Cam, there's no use trying to open my door." Claire told him.
"Then you open it." Cam begged her.
"I can't, I forgot, " Claire said, "I forgot how to open the door." "Sorry." Claire said, not feeling sorry for Cam at all.
"Claire, I'm serious, that's different." Cam said.
"No, how is it different? We both forgot to do something."
"Claire, open this door right now, or else I'll leave." Cam threatened.
"Fine, leave. In fact, why don't we take a break from eachother, since you can't even remember our date." Claire said angrily. She had never felt this mad before.
"Fine, see you later." Cam said, sounding angry too. He stomped down the stairs, and quickly rode away on his bike.
Claire threw herself onto her bed once more. The tears were now flowing freely down her cheeks. Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't Cam have just remembered our date? Claire thought bitterly. Claire looked at her watch, it was almost dinner time. Claire dragged herself downstairs and slid into the chair.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Claire's mom asked her, seeing Claire's expression.
"Nothing." Claire mumbled. She picked at her food the whole time. After dinner, Claire went upstairs to her bedroom without a word. She took the picture of Cam on her drawer and put it inside her desk. She got rid of everything that reminded her of him. Finally satisfied, she went to bed, wondering what was going to happen tomorrow.
