Author's Note- Ok, so I'm sorry to say that none of you guys guess it correctly. BUT-there was one person that guessed KINDA close to what TPC is going to do. So, I guess this chapter is dedicated to littleitalygrl2. BTW-do you guys think my story is hard to read b/c it's like spread out or something instead of in little paragraphs? I'm just wondering…BTW-this chapter is not really going to be about Massie's plans. Hope you enjoy it! R&R!
The Block Estate
Massie's Bedroom
Same day- 4:05 P.M.
Massie reread the note for what was probably the tenth time in a row.
Dear Nicole,
I can't believe you're here at BOCD! It's such a coincidence that we both are going to the same school as each other. I've missed you so much. Are you free this weekend? If so, call me to let me know. You still have my cell phone number, right? Can't wait to see you at school!
Spencer
Ugh, this sucks. Massie thought. Why can't it be me that Spencer is asking out? She crumpled up the note and was about to throw it away, when she realized what she had just done. she smoothed out the note as best she could.
Suddenly, Massie's door flew open, revealing Alicia, Kristen, Dylan, and Claire.
"You guys are late!" Massie snapped, tossing the note onto her desk.
"Sorry, I had to-" Alicia began.
"Save it for someone who cares." Massie interrupted, "Sit." Everyone obediently sat down.
"Where's the note?" Alicia asked, "I want to read it."
Massie retrieved the note and threw it to Alicia.
"Oh, that sucks for you, Massie." Alicia said, after reading the note. "Looks like you've got some competition."
Massie scoffed, "Puh-lease, I would hardly call Nicole competition."
"Ok, fine," Dylan said, "Why did you call us over here, then?"
"I need some plans to distract Spencer away from Nicole, or vice versa." Massie said, taking the note back from Alicia and stuffing it into her purse.
"We could spread some rumors about Nicole." Claire suggested.
Massie wrinkled her nose, "No, that's so elementary school."
"What about doing something to capture Spencer's attention?" Alicia offered.
"Yeah, but what could I do?"
Alicia shrugged, "You're on your own there."
"Ugh, you guys aren't helping me at all!" Massie whined, "Come on, Kristen, you have got to have something in that brain of yours."
Kristen looked partly offended and partly proud. "Well, you can invite him to a party and don't invite Nicole to that party."
"Ew, why would I ever invite Nicole?" Massie said, "Not a bad idea, though."
"Yeah, you should make it a swim party." Claire said.
"Any more ideas?" Massie asked, looking at her friends. Everyone was silent as they searched for more ideas and plans.
"You could also humiliate Nicole in front of everybody." Alicia said, "Like what we did to Derrington."
Massie sighed and rubbed the side of her head with two fingers. All this thinking was making her tired and they had gotten nowhere.
An hour more of thinking and Massie was fed up. "Call me if you guys get any more ideas." She said to her friends as they left. She closed the door and walked back upstairs to her room. Since she had nothing better to do, she decided to keep on brainstorming.

BOCD
Hallways
Thursday- 8:24 A.M.
The Pretty Committee was talking in the hallways when Nicole Trager walked passed them with her group of friends. "Be right back," Massie said, walking away from her friends and followed after Nicole.
"Hey, Nicole," Massie said, walking up to Nicole, who was by her locker.
Nicole turned around and looked at Massie warily. "Hi, what do you want?"
"Nothing, I just came to give you something." Massie said in a fake sweet voice. She reached into her purse and produced the note Spencer had written. She handed it over to Nicole who took it and stared at it, wondering who it could be from.
"Open it," one of Nicole's friends encouraged her.
Nicole opened the note and read the note aloud. Massie rolled her eyes and covered her ears so she wouldn't have to listen to it again. When she was done reading, Massie took her hands off her ears and looked to see what Nicole's reaction was.
"Wow, is that the Spencer you've been talking about?" another one of Nicole's friends asked.
Nicole nodded and smiled, "Yeah, it is." She looked at Massie in wonder. "How did you get this note?"
Massie shrugged like it was no big deal. "Oh, he gave it to me yesterday and asked me to give it to you."
Nicole smiled like Massie had made her day. She hugged Massie and thanked her. Massie tried to squirm away from Nicole, there was no need to hug her. Nicole looked like all her dreams had come true. Gawd, maybe I should have just waited until the end of school to give her the note. Massie thought, swinging her purse over her shoulder. Without saying goodbye to Nicole and her friends, Massie turned around and walked down the hallway, back to her friends.
"So, how did it go?" Claire asked, once Massie returned.
Massie shrugged, "It was ok, although Nicole totally over reacted."
The bell suddenly rang, the Pretty Committee started walking towards their first class. Massie thought that the little meeting with Nicole had gone pretty well.

Later, in math, Claire was very close to dozing off in her seat, not even bothering to pay any attention to whatever the class was learning, even though she knew there was going to be a test on it tomorrow. She started thinking about Ryan's pros and cons. Spencer was super ah-dorable, had a great body, and was really nice. But that was just her first impression, she didn't know him well enough yet. Besides, Cam had all what Ryan had. Wait, why was she thinking about Cam? She was so over Cam, right? Then why did she keep thinking about Cam? Claire flipped open her notebook and started doodling on the margins. She wrote Ryan's name on the side, and then crossed it out and wrote Cam's name. She then crossed Cam's name out and rewrote Ryan's name. Frustrated with herself, she closed her notebook and laid her head down on the desk, feeling the cool surface touch her hot face.
Suddenly, Claire felt something hit her in the back. She sat up and turned around and saw a note lying on her seat. She took it and curiously opened the note.
Hey, wake up sleepy head. You looked like you were half-dead. You better start paying attention, otherwise you're going to fail the test tomorrow. Since you've already missed practically the whole lesson, why don't I go over the lesson with you at lunch?
There was no signature, so Claire turned around to see who had given her the note. She saw Ryan smirking at her teasingly, with a hint of hope in his eyes. Claire blushed and smiled. She turned back around and quickly scribbled down her response.
Ha, I'm surprised you even noticed. Learning and studying the lesson at lunch is probably a good idea, so I'll take you up on your offer! See you soon, remember, table 18.
Claire
Claire folded up the note and was about to pass it back to Ryan, when Mr. Atkins, the math teacher, walked right up to Claire and stared down at her. "And what are you doing, Miss Lyons?"
Claire tried to discreetly hide the note before answering, but Mr. Atkins noticed it. "Um, nothing, I'm just taking notes." Claire replied, flipping her notebook open to show the math teacher. But the page she flipped to, was the page where she had doodled Spencer and Cam's names. Mr. Atkins frowned, "Those are you notes?" his voice dripping with pure skepticism.
Ryan leaned forward to see what Claire had written, but Claire blushed and quickly closed her notebook before Ryan could see anything. "Detention, Miss Lyons." Mr. Atkins said, before turning back around. Lucky for Claire, Mr. Atkins didn't take away the note, he seemed to have forgot about it.
Claire quickly threw the note behind her without turning around. She hoped the note landed to Ryan, not someone else. When Mr. Atkins was explaining an equation on the board, Claire quickly took a peek behind her and saw Ryan smiling, holding up the note she had given to him. She smiled and decided to pay attention to class for the five remaining minutes.
