Oak Tree

Friday- 7:55 A.M.

Massie, Dylan, Kristen, Claire, and Alicia were all sitting underneath their favorite oak tree which provided them a giant view of what was going on everywhere right now. Massie was scrolling through text messages on her phone. Kristen was checking her nicely tanned and toned legs. Alicia was fixing her hair and checking her face in her compact mirror. Claire was inspecting her cuticles critically and Dylan was quickly finishing last night's science homework.

Derrington and his soccer buddies walked briskly past Massie and the girls. He paused and gave Massie a quick glare and then he walked into the school building. Massie quickly stood up and brushed herself off. "Time for phase three," she announced. She gathered her things and turned around to face her friends. "I'll signal you guys when to step in, got it?" Everyone nodded and Massie waved goodbye to them.

Massie strutted to the beat of "Like Me" by Girlicious and looked around for Derrington for a few minutes. She finally spotted him by his locker, trying to get his locker open. Perfect. She confidently walked up and said, "Here, let me help you,"

Derrington was so surprised that he didn't even object or do anything. He just stood there watching Massie open his locker. "There you go," Massie smiled at him.

Derrington finally got his sense back and his face hardened. "Why are you helping me and how do you know my locker combo?" he asked.

"I just wanted to help you and I know your locker combo because you told me a long time ago." Massie explained, putting a hand on Derrington's shoulder.

Derrington shrugged Massie's shoulder off and he began to put his binders and books into his backpack. "You can leave now," he muttered, avoiding Massie's gaze.

Time for action. Massie took the books away from Derrington so his attention would be on her.

"What do you want from me?" Derrington frowned and avoided Massie's eyes.

"I need to talk to you." Massie quietly said, hoping to sound nervous.

Derrington crossed his arms. "So talk." He said, unfazed by Massie's pretend nervousness.

Massie sighed inwardly-this was nawt going to be easy. She took Derrington's arm and dragged him to a deserted corner. She quickly pulled him in and kissed him right on the lips.

Startled, Derrington instantly pulled away.

Massie pretended to be hurt. "What? You don't want me anymore?"

Derrington wiped his lips with the back of his hands and shoved them into his pockets. "What the hell are you doing?" He looked up and Massie saw that his eyes were an icy blue.

"I want to get back with you." Massie announced, making her voice crack on cue.

"What about what you said yesterday?" Derrington demanded.

"I didn't mean what I said yesterday." Massie said, "I only said that because my friends were there and I felt pressured."

"So? You could have just let me down gently instead of doing it harshly." Derrington seemed unforgiving.

Massie took a deep breath. This was going to be way harder than she thought it would be. "I know, I was really stupid and I'm really sorry." She hoped she sounded pretty convincing. It seemed to work because Derrington softened and his eyes returned to its normal blue color.

"So you just expect me to take you back, just like that?" Derrington still seemed pretty harsh though.

Suddenly, Cam, Josh, Chris, and Kemp walked past them. They slowed down and their eyes widened when they spotted Derrington and Massie standing together.

"Dude, what's going on?" Josh asked,

"Nothing," Derrington muttered. At the same time, Massie also said, "Nothing," with a loud and apparent sniffle.

Cam took a step closer and squinted. "Whoa, is Massie crying?"

Massie blinked more quickly to make more tears fall.

"No way," Chris said, shoving Cam aside to take a good luck at Massie.

Massie held back a laugh. Was it really that exciting to see someone cry? But the again, Chris had a good point. No one ever saw Massie Block cry. It was just completely unheard of. She wiped her face and pretended to try to hide her face from the boys.

"Man, what did you do to her?" Kemp wondered.

Derrington backed up and held his hands up like a criminal that was caught. "Nothing! I swear I didn't do anything to her!"

"You don't want to get back with me." Massie whispered. She whispered it just loud enough for the boys to hear.

The boys were completely shocked. "But, I thought, I thought you didn't want to!" Cam exclaimed,

"Exactly," Derrington muttered, but no one heard him. All the attention was on Massie.

"Why do you want to get back with him now?" Kemp asked,

Massie shrugged, "I just realized that I made a mistake yesterday." She didn't have a better explanation.

Now the boys stared at Derrington who now looked like a deer caught in the headlights. "What?"

Josh sighed and sadly shook his head. He dragged Derrington to another area far away from Massie.

"We'll be right back," Cam said to Massie and he followed after Josh.

Massie rolled her eyes and looked down at her watch. Crap, there were only ten minutes left before school started. Gawd, hurry up! Massie thought as she looked at the small cluster of boys who were whispering furiously. Massie was getting really impatient, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. She pinched herself really hard on the cheeks to make herself start crying. "I'm leaving! This was totally stupid of me!" she cried. She flung her hair dramatically and began to briskly walk away. While she was walking, she secretly took out her cell phone and typed a message to her friends that would signal them to step in. However, she didn't send the text yet, it wasn't the right time.

"Wait!" Derrington called out behind her.

Massie quickly hid her phone and slowly turned around, making her eyes seem wide and hopeful. "What do you want?" Massie sniffled,

Derrington caught up to her and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for the way I just acted."

Massie nodded and waited for him to continue.

"And I want to get back with you." He said, looking at Massie shyly.

Massie's heart soared, but not because she was getting back with Derrington, but because she had achieved Phase 4 perfectly. Massie smiled and seemed to be doubtful. "Seriously?" Pretending to be really shocked and surprised.

"Yeah," Derrington smiled back and nodded, "seriously." And then he leaned in and kissed Massie. At that exact moment, Massie pressed the Send button her cell phone and her text was sent. A few seconds later, Massie's cell phone rang. Massie gratefully pulled away from Derrington. "Hello?" she picked up.

"So, what happened?" Alicia eagerly asked.

"Hey, Alicia, what's up?" Massie said.

"Fine, don't answer that question now." Alicia said, "But you have to tell us later about everything that happened!"

"Yeah, ok, I'll be right there." Massie said and hung up. "I got to go, Alicia needs me. I'll see you later, ok?"

Derrington nodded, "Ok, Block, I love you." He smiled and blushed.

Massie fakely smiled back and kissed Derrington quickly. "Love you too, Derek." She gave him a wink and then quickly walked away form him. She walked out of the school building and into the fresh air and went straight to the oak tree. "Hey, thank gawd you called right away, Alicia." Massie said, "I wasn't sure how much longer I could stay connected to Derrington's mouth."

Alicia laughed, "No problem, it was my pleasure."

"So, what happened?" Dylan demanded.

"Yeah, tell us!" Claire exclaimed.

Just then, the bell rang, signaling the five minutes warning. The girls reluctantly got up. "I'll tell you guys at lunch." Massie said, as she swung her bag over her shoulder.

"Ok," Everyone nodded.

Massie headed into the building and saw Spencer to the right. He looked at Massie and raised his eyebrows as if to ask her how the phase went. Massie smiled and gave Spencer a thumbs-up. Spencer smiled and mouthed, Good, She waved goodbye to Spencer and headed towards her first period class. She couldn't wait to share with her friends what had happened.
