Massie's Mansion
The Foyer
Sunday- 1:20 P.M.
Massie gasped. "Ehmagawd!" The boy who she had been kissing for the past five minutes, turned out to be Derrington!
"What's wrong?" Derrington asked, seeing Massie's surprised, and if not horrified expression. He leaned in closer to Massie, clearly wanting to kiss Massie again.
But Massie shoved him away. "I got to go." Massie mumbled, scrambling off the couch. Derrington was left there with a bewildered look on his face. Massie had left so abruptly that he didn't have a chance to react.
Massie pushed her way through the crowd of people dancing. She saw Claire chatting with a brown-haired boy. Massie gasped. That boy was part of Derrington's group, which meant that Claire was either talking to Cam or Josh.
"Oh, no," Massie said to herself, "this is nawt going to be good."
Massie quickly walked up to them and pulled Claire away.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing, Massie?" Claire exclaimed, annoyed at the fact that Massie had taken her away from her potential boyfriend.
"Listen, don't go near that boy again!" Massie exclaimed breathlessly.
Claire cocked her hips. "Why?"
"Because the boy you're talking to right now is either Cam or Josh!"
"And how would you know that?" Claire asked, not believing Massie.
"Because he has brown hair!"
"So?" Claire pointed out, rolling her eyes. "So does half the people here."
Massie frowned. "I can also tell by his hairstyle." she pointed out.
"Sure, you can." Claire said, still not believing Massie.
"Well, I have to tell you a little story." Massie said.
"About what?"
"You'll see." Massie said, "Once we go somewhere more private."
Claire looked longingly back at the boy who was sitting there alone, waiting for Claire to come back.
Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, a short brunette girl appeared right in front of the boy. The girl plopped herself down next to the boy, and she immediately started talking to him. Claire was kind of ok with that, but what really pissed her off, was that the boy quickly warmed up to the girl, and seemed to forget all about Claire.
Claire's face hardened. "Fine, let's go." She snapped.
Massie smiled, "Ok, let's go up to my room."
Claire and Massie went up to Massie's room secretly. Massie sat down on her bed and took off her mask. She checked herself in the mirror to make sure that everything was still in place.
"Ok, so what are you going to tell me?" Claire asked, her eyes wide open in anticipation.
"Ok, so first, a boy asked me to dance with him, and I agreed." Massie began. She continued to tell Claire about what happened for a while. "And then, I removed his mask." Massie said. "And guess who it was!"
"I don't know! Who?" Claire asked.
"It was Derrington!" Massie exclaimed.
"Holy crap! Are you serious?" Claire exclaimed.
"Yeah, of course I'm serious! Why would I be joking about something like this?" Massie said indignantly.
"Wow, I can't believe that!" Claire said.
"Yeah, me neither."
"So, does this have to do with anything about the boy downstairs I was talking to?" Claire asked.
"Yeah, it does, like I said, that boy is either Cam or Josh." Massie informed Claire.
"Oh." was all Claire could say.
"And if you still don't believe me, I saw him arrive with Derrington and his other friends." Massie explained.
"Oh, crap." Claire said, "That had better not been Cam."
Massie smirked, "Yeah, it better not have been him."
Claire sighed, "What am I going to do now?"
"What do you mean, what are you going to do now?" Massie looked at Claire, "You're going to go back downstairs, and act like you've never seen him before. And that nothing has happened."
"I guess so." Claire said.
"Good, now let's go back downstairs." Massie declared, standing up. She put her mask back on.
When Massie and Claire went downstairs, they saw that everyone was either eating or talking. Almost no one was dancing.
"Interesting." Massie commented, "we were gone for only about fifteen minutes, and now everyone isn't dancing."
"How weird." Claire muttered.
"Whatever."
Massie and Claire roamed the room, looking for Alicia, Dylan, and Kirsten. Massie finally spotted them sitting in a corner, talking.
"Ehmagawd," Massie ran up to the girls, "guess who I just kissed."
Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen gaped at Massie. "Who?" they all asked.
"Derrington!" Massie squeaked and collapsed onto the sofa.
"Whoa, what did you just say?" Alicia asked. "Did you just say Derrington?"
"Yeah, I thought you were totally over him." Kristen said, making her hand slice her neck in pretend.
Massie groaned, "I am, I swear I am! I just accidentally kissed him!"
Dylan raised an eyebrow, "You 'accidentally' kissed him? How can you accidentally kiss someone?"
"I didn't know he was Derrington, until I took off his mask!"
"Wow, these masks can be pretty dangerous." Dylan joked.
"You guys," Massie whined, "it's not funny!"
"Sorry." Dylan apologized.
"And, what's worse is that, Claire was talking to either Cam or Josh." Massie informed the girls.
"Cam?" Kristen asked, puzzled, just as Alicia stood up quickly.
"Josh?" Alicia asked, her eyes bright and pointy, staring at Claire. "You were talking to my Josh?"
"Alicia, I said Cam OR Josh, gawd." Massie snapped.
"Still," Alicia glared at Claire, "it COULD have been Josh."
"Ok, people," Massie stopped them from arguing even more. "we're getting past the point."
Alicia cocked her hips. "Then what is the point?"
"Well, we have to do something quickly before all of the guests leave out of complete boredom." Massie said. "Do you guys have any plans?"
"Uhh..."
"Never mind, I got a great idea that will hopefully work." Massie said.
"What is it?" Claire asked.
"You'll see." Massie winked, and went to the front of the room.
She grabbed the microphone from the DJ and turned around to face the guests.
"Attention, all party people, to spice this party up a bit, there's going to be a little fun activity." Massie announced.
"What is it?" someone in the crowd called out.
Massie smiled slyly, "That's for me to know, and for you to find out."
"Then how are we suppose to participate in the activity?" A girl asked.
Massie rolled her eyes. "That's why there's going to be a sign up sheet near the entrance door. If you want to participate, sign up on the sheet."
In an instant, a stampede of people rushed over to the entrance door, ready to sign the sheet.
"Geez," Massie said, "wait, you guys. I haven't even put up the sign up sheet yet. I'll be right back." Massie somehow managed to go through the crowd and she quickly went upstairs to her bedroom. She grabbed a piece of lined paper and went back downstairs.
"Ok, here it is." Massie taped the piece of paper onto the door. Everyone immediately began signing their names onto the paper.
Massie walked over to her friends who were staring in a bit of awe. They were shocked that so many people were actually going to participate in the activity.
"What is the activity?" Claire asked.
"You'll see." Massie said, "To tell you the truth, I don't even know what the activity is going to be."
"What?" Kristen said, "Then what are we going to do when it's time for all the people to participate in the activity."
Massie smiled, "Don't worry, you guys, I'll come up with something good soon."
"I hope so, or else." Kristen muttered.
"You could help me, you know. That way we'll come up with a good idea faster." Massie rolled her eyes.
Alicia shrugged, "Sorry, I'm all out of ideas."
"Same here." Dylan said, munching on a cupcake.
Massie groaned and turned towards Claire, "Claire?"
Claire winced, "Sorry, I have no ideas either."
"You guys are so lame!" Massie exclaimed, "I'm going to have to come up with it all by myself!"
"Sorry." Claire apologized again.
Massie gasped. "Ehmagawd, I just got the best idea ever!"
"What is it?" Alicia asked eagerly.
"I'm not telling." Massie smiled and quickly walked up to the DJ to get the microphone again. "Are you guys joining?"
"Hell, yes!" Dylan said, following Massie.
"Yeah, I guess so." Claire said and followed after Dylan.
"Ok, so everyone that is in the game, meet me at the center of the room, and then I'll tell you what the game is going to be." Massie said.
Every practically ran to the center of the room. Massie and the girls had a hard time getting to the center of the room, because there was already a huge crowd forming there.
"Excuse me, I'm trying to get through here!" Massie elbowed a girl in the process of getting through the crowd.
"Ok, now that everyone is here, I'm going to tell you what the game is." Massie said. "The game will be Truth or Dare-"
Some people groaned and some people cheered.
"But, it's Truth or Dare with a twist!" Massie continued. "Basically, it's like regular Truth and Dare, but the twis is, is that when it's your turn, if you choose truth, then you will have to tell the truth of whatever the person asks you, and you will also have to kiss one girl or boy of your choice. If you choose dare, then you will have to do whatever the person tells you to do or else you're out. After that, you will also have to kiss a girl or boy of your choice. But beware, everyone has masks, so you might not know who you're kissing, so choose carefully and wisely! Oh, and one little note, if the person that you kiss if not satisfied, then you will have to take off your mask and you're eliminated from the game, that applies to both cases,ok? Any questions or shall we begin?" Massie looked at everyone.
One girl raised her hand, "I don't want to play this game anymore."
A few other people said the same thing.
"Well, if you don't want to play, then you don't have to." Massie told them.
They looked relieved.
"But-if you decide to leave the game, then you will also have to leave the party." Massie informed them.
"What?" the girl exclaimed, "who said so?"
"I said so!" Massie smiled smugly.
"You're not Massie Block, are you?" the girl peered suspiciously at her.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." Massie said, "All I know is that I have the authority to tell people what to do at this party."
The girl became silent, it looked like she was debating on whether to stay or leave.
"So, what's it going to be?" Massie asked, getting impatient. "Are you staying or leaving?"
"I'll stay." The girl finally said. The other people agreed too.
"Great, then let's begin." Massie clapped her hands. "Everyone sit down in a giant circle."
"Ok, I'll go first." Massie volunteered. She took a plastic bottle off of a table and spun it. It landed on Derrington.
"Ok, Mr. Blond Boy, truth or dare?" Massie asked Derrington.
"Truth." Derrington answered.
"Ok, do you have a crush right now?" Massie asked.
Derrington turned red. "Yeah, I guess."
That got Massie's full attention. "Who?"
"Well, this is a masquerade party," Derrington said, "so I'll only give you a little clue."
"That's not fair!" Massie exclaimed.
"Oh yes it is, I technically have already answered your question." Derrington argued. "I'll just tell you that the girl I like is here right now."
Everyone gasped.
"What else?" Massie asked. She desperately wanted to know who Derrington liked.
Derrington shook his head. "I'm not telling you anymore."
Massie sighed. "Ok, now go kiss a girl."
Derrington smiled and looked around. He finally settled on Massie. He crawled across the huge circle and leaned in to Massie. His lips touched Massie's and he kissed her.
Massie swore she felt little sparks going through her whole body when Derrington kissed her. It felt like forever.
Suddenly, Derrington broke away and smiled at Massie. "You're a good kisser."
Massie blushed. "Thanks, so are you."
From across the circle, Massie saw her friends gaping at her in shock. She gave an innocent look back to them that said, What? It's not like I was the one who kissed him.
Derrington took the bottle and went back to his spot. He spun the bottle and it landed on a blonde girl.
"Truth or dare?" Derrington asked the girl.
"Truth."
"Umm, have you ever kissed your pillow?" Derrington asked the girl.
The girl turned bright red and whispered as quietly as she could, "Yes."
"What did you just say? Say it louder, no one can hear you." Massie prompted the girl.
The girl cleared her throat, and said yes a little louder.
"I still can't hear you!" Massie said. She had heard the girl clearly the first time, but she just wanted to embarrass the girl.
"I said, yes!" the girl exclaimed.
The whole crowd went "Oooh".
The girl's cheeks turned red, and it looked like she wanted to cry. She got up and quickly left Massie's house.
"Wait!" Massie called out, chuckling, "you didn't get your kiss!" Alicia, Dylan, Kristen, and Claire all cracked up.
"Oops." Derrington muttered.
"Well, since that girl is gone, Blond Boy, you get to spin again." Massie told him.
"Ok." Derrington took the bottle, spun it, and it landed on the guy with brown hair who was talking with Claire earlier.
"Truth or dare?" Derrington asked.
"Truth."
"Gawd, isn't someone going to choose dare?" Massie blurted out.
"Ok, do you still like the girl you used to like?" Derrington asked the brown haired boy, ignoring Massie's outburst.
The Cam or Josh guy hesitated for a second. "Yeah." He finally admitted.
Massie gasped. Was he talking about Claire? Or was he talking about Alicia?
"Ok, cool. Go kiss a girl now." Derrington said.
The guy scanned the circle and his eyes finally landed on Claire. He got up, walked over to Claire, sat down, and kissed Claire.
Massie squeaked. That had better not be Cam!
When he pulled away, Claire's cheeks were red, but she looked happy.
"So, are you satisfied?" Massie asked Claire.
Claire hesitated.
Massie gave a look to Claire that said, Don't you want to see who he really is under that mask?
"I'm good." Claire said.
Massie groaned. "Ok."
The brown haired boy took the bottle and spun it, and it landed on some random girl that Massie didn't know.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Finally!" Massie smiled. "You better make it good."
"Um, ok. Go kiss that boy right there." The Cam or Josh guy pointed to a figure in the back of the crowd.
Massie turned around and gasped. What she saw was probably the most unattractive, overweight boy at her house. How the hell did he get in? Massie wondered. She almost felt sorry for the girl.
The girl winced and looked horrified, but she bravely got up from her seat, and went over to the boy. On the other hand, the boy seemed ecstatic at the thought that a girl was going to kiss him. The girl leaned close to the boy, and gave him a one second peck on the cheek, and quickly went back to her seat.
Everyone clapped and cheered for her. Massie admired the girl for being so brave. If it was her that had to kiss the boy, she probably would have been a coward.
The girl smiled a bit, and spun the bottle.
"Oh wait," Massie interrupted, "are you happy?"
The boy nodded.
Thought so, it seems like you've never kissed a girl before. Massie thought.
The girl spun the bottle again, and this time, it landed on Dylan.
"Truth or dare?" the girl asked Dylan.
"Dare."
"Ok, go stuff three cookies in your mouth at once." The girl said.
Massie sighed, was that the best that girl could come up with?
However, Dylan looked relieved. "Gladly."
In a matter of minutes, Dylan stuffed three whole cookies into her mouth. She then walked over to the same brown haired boy and kissed him.
Massie felt her jaw drop. No way, did Dylan just kiss him? Massie looked at Claire and Alicia to see how they would react. Claire looked shocked and Alicia looked angry.
When Dylan sat back down in her seat, Massie immediately went up to her to talk.
"What the hell do you think you were doing?" Massie demanded. "You knew that the boy was either Cam or Josh."
"Yeah, so?" Dylan asked innocently.
"So, why did you still kiss him?" Massie hissed.
"Because I felt like it. Besides, there weren't any other good boys to kiss." Dylan said.
Massie glared at Dylan, "You better not do anything else like this."
Dylan laughed, "I won't." She took the bottle and spun it.
"Wait," the brown haired boy interrupted. "I wasn't satisfied with the kiss."
Everyone gasped.
"Great," Massie rolled her eyes, "now you have to take your mask off and show the whole world your face."
Dylan just smiled, "Relax, Massie, it's just a game."
"Yeah, a game where part of the goal is to not let people find out your identity." Massie glared.
"Take off your mask! Take off your mask!" Everyone started chanting.
"Ok, ok, I am." Dylan said. She slowly untied the knot on her mask, and slowly lifted her mask off her head.
Everyone seemed to be surprised. Especially the brown haired boy, he seemed to be in shock.
"Wow, that was fun." Dylan said, and got up from the seat as if nothing was wrong.
"Ok, Dylan, you're out." Massie said. Serves you right.
Everyone kept playing the game until there were only five people left. Massie, Derrington, Claire, the brown haired boy, and some random girl.
"Ok, people, it's getting late." Massie announced, "So I'm going to have to ask you guys to leave now."
Everyone groaned,
"I know, I know, you guys don't want to leave. But you have to."
Everyone got up and started heading towards the door.
"By the way," Massie called out, "pick up your treats on your way out. They are going to be on the table to your right. There are bags for girls and bags for boys. Girls get a year round supply of M.A.C. makeup, a five hundred dollar gift card to anywhere you want, and a certificate to Spa Heaven which is good for a whole year. Boys, you also get a five hundred dollar gift card to anywhere, and you get two games for your XBOX 360, or whatever else of that type of things."
Everyone cheered and clapped.
"Merry Christmas, everyone!" Massie said, "And don't forget, tomorrow is the school play, see you guys there!"
Massie went to the front door to see everyone leave. Suddenly, someone spun her around. it was Derrington.
"Look up." He whispered.
Massie looked up, and she saw a mistletoe.
"Mistletoe." He leaned in and kissed Massie for the longest time ever.
For a moment, Massie was lost, but then she quickly came to her senses, and pushed Derrington away from her.
"Hey, what the-"
"Sorry, I got to go now. See you tomorrow." Massie quickly said and ran away from him.
Massie found her friends, and quickly told them what had just happened. "Ehmagawd, Derrington just kissed me again!"
"What the hell?" Alicia said, "What's with you and Derrington?"
"I don't know." Massie said, "HE'S the one kissing me, not the other way around!"
"Well, at least it's the end of your party, now you don't have to face him anymore." Dylan said.
"Uh, hello? The winter play is tomorrow." Claire reminded.
Massie groaned, "Crap, it's going to be SO awkward tomorrow."
Kristen sighed, "Don't worry, you'll get through it."
Massie sighed, "I hope I will."
Tomorrow was going to be really awkward, Massie hoped that everything was going to happen accordingly. Nothing more...
