Duke Academy
Dylan & Massie's Lockers
7:56 AM

Alicia sighed dreamily, Massie had just finished telling Alicia and Dylan about what happened the day before and they were in a whole other world now. "Guys?" Massie waved her hand in front of their faces. Alicia frowned, "Nothing like that ever happens to me. I swear Massie Block, you're like one of those characters out of a romance novel" Dylan nodded her head in agreement and then took a bite out of her breakfast burrito. "Dyl, I thought you said you were going to cut down on those." Massie reached for the burrito, "I eat when I'm upset" Dylan pouted while biting into her burrito. Massie smiled, typical Dylan. "Hey" Derrick exclaimed while sliding his arm around Massie's waist. Massie still couldn't get over the fact at how amazing he was. He was just….Derrick. "Hey" Josh added while resting his arm on Alicia's shoulder. Alicia stood there uncomfortably and Massie could tell. "Uh hey guys. Sorry, but we were just about to head off to class. Alicia and I have electives today and Animal Behavior is like all the way on the other side of the school!" "No it –" Alicia started, but quickly stopped once she saw the look Massie was giving her, "Right! See you guys later" she smiled. As Massie and Alicia walked away, Dylan pulled out her phone.

Dylan: Electives ended 3 weeks ago. What r u 2 doing?

Massie: Saving Leesh from J.

Dylan turned her head to examine Josh. His gaze was following the girls and Dylan came up with a theory. Either Josh had a huge crush on Alicia or…Massie had two admirers.

Science Class
11:14 AM

Massie was currently doodling small hearts in her notebook as Mr. Humphrey explained the theory of gravity. She already knew how gravity worked, you throw an apple in the air and it falls…woopdeedoo! Claire cleared her throat which caught Massie's attention. Once Claire realized she had her full attention, she pointed across the room. Massie looked over and saw Derrick about to throw an airplane. As the paper aircraft flew across the room, Claire examined Massie's paper. "Losers" Claire coughed, Massie glared at her and then caught the airplane. She opened up the piece of paper and read it to herself:

Mr. Humphrey's outfit is screaming for a makeover! Where are the fashion police when you need them?

Love, Derrick

Massie giggled, wrote underneath his note, folded it up and threw it back to him.

His outfit was so unbelievably horrific, they died from seeing the ugliness.

Love, Massie

Derrick smiled at Massie and Massie smiled back. Everything with them was going perfectly. But, not if Josh had anything to do with it…

History Class
12: 30 PM

Kristen glanced over at Massie who was texting underneath her desk. "Don't make it obvious or anything" she rolled her eyes playfully. Massie ignored her and kept on texting. "Ms. Block. What are your thoughts on "Bud, Not Buddy" so far?" Mrs. Hennessey asked. Massie came back to reality, she was ready for this. "Well, I guess if I was Bud in the story I wouldn't be as strong as he is. I wouldn't be able to handle the thought of my Dad not knowing who I was or that I even existed." A wave sadness hit Massie in the gut, "I know that helped Bud become stronger and more independent, but I think that it would make me weaker and make it harder for me to rely on people". All eyes were on her now as a single tear slid down her smooth cheeks. "Very good Massie" Mrs. Hennessey smiled apologetically. Unfortunately for Massie, the teacher knew about her family and how her father walked out on them when she was only 3, unlike the rest of the kids. Once everyone turned around and started listening to Olivia Ryan's opinion Kristen asked what was wrong. "Hey are you alright?" she rested her hand on Massie's shoulder. Massie flicked the tear away and smiled, "yeah totally" she answered a little too happy. Kristen eyed her suspiciously, but decided to leave her alone. There was already enough drama happening in this school…

Okay so I'm getting off topic here, but…RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU WATCHED CAMP ROCK!! raises both hands cause I watched it like twice Sigh. I love the Jonas Brothers! Right now I can't stop listening to "This Is Me" by: Demi Lovato. Even though I don't exactly LOVE her, I've gotta admit she's a pretty good singer. However, getting back on topic…What are your thoughts on this chapter? And don't worry, I will explain more about Massie's Dad and family in the next chapter. As for Josh, I still can't decide…which part of Dylan's theory do you guys want to come true?

Have Josh have a huge crush on Alicia or…Massie have two admirers?
