Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out!

The wind almost blew Alicia off the sidewalk as she walked toward Claire's house. She really wanted to talk to her about what had happened a few days ago. Although Alicia thought they had made up during lunch, Claire had been acting strange recently. Alicia forgave her for liking Josh, after all she didn't really blame her. He was extremely good-looking, and it wasn't like Claire had ever acted on her feelings.

The leaves were blowing everywhere; the darkness of the night silently creeping Alicia out. She started to walk more swiftly, finally reaching Claire's gated mansion. She noticed that there wasn't any cars in the driveway. Damn, I guess she isn't home. She turned to walk away when she saw something out of the corner of her eye. It couldn't be, could it? The car parked across the street looked suspiciously like Cam's 1994 red truck. It had the same dent in the front bumper which it had gotten when he was driving Claire and Alicia home from a party one night.

What is Claire doing, Alicia thought to herself. She wanted to believe she was completely wrong, that he wasn't over her house. Alicia didn't understand how Claire could do this to her friends, act like everything was fine, and then go and hook up with their boyfriends.

It didn't make any sense to her. Three months ago, when Claire had broken up with Cam, she had claimed she was over that whole relationship, that she wanted to date other people. She had been the one to set Cam and Olivia up. It wasn't fair to Olivia, Alicia decided. The poor girl never seemed to date trustworthy guys.

Yeah, Alicia thought, I have to make everything better. She was going to tell Olivia everything. First though, she had to fix something in her own life.

It was pouring rain as Olivia walked out of her house. Her thin hoodie wasn't working, she could feel her hair getting wet. She sighed loudly and opened her car door. As she put her keys in the ignition her cell phone started vibrating. It was Cam calling. Olivia almost laughed out loud, he was the last person she wanted to talk to right now. It wasn't that she was angry with him, he had done nothing wrong to her.

Yesterday, Olivia had decided to break up with him and she knew talking to him right now would probably change her mind. She was going to meet up with Alicia, who had texted her earlier, telling her she needed to talk. Probably about something that happened with Josh, Olivia thought as she began to drive.

Passing the trash cans which were blowing down the sidewalks, Olivia remembered the conversation she had with Kristen earlier. She was the only person Olivia had talked to about her upcoming break-up. Kristen had been supportive, although she still believed it was because Olivia had feelings for Derrick. Olivia didn't bother to correct her, she didn't know for herself if she was truly over Derrick or not.

Thinking about him did give her one emotion though. Anger. She still didn't understand that whole relationship between him and Massie. She didn't seem like his type at all. In ninth grade, Olivia had two classes with her and all she remembered was a girl who was really quiet. She was pretty, Olivia admitted, but still it was weird.

"Come here," Massie grabbed Derrick by the hand. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips before they parted ways. He had just driven her home from the movie theatre. It had been a good date, Massie found herself really enjoying the time they spent together. The past month with Derrick had definitely changed her life.

Massie was surprised how having a boyfriend gave her a lot of confidence. She hadn't changed too much as a person, she still got awkwardly shy meeting strangers, but it wasn't as bad as before. She didn't gain a million new friends, but people were definitely talking to her more.

One major thing had changed though, and that was her best friend. Dylan was acting so moody lately. Massie didn't understand, Dylan had been the one to always push Massie to date Derrick and now that she was her best friend wasn't happy with her. It could be something else though, maybe Dylan was having problems at home. Massie reminded herself to ask her friend about it tomorrow. Right now, she just wanted a nice hot shower.

Claire pushed aside the many papers littered around her computer desk. She threw her purse on it and began digging for her cell phone, which she had been looking for all day. Where the hell was it? Claire started to feel nervous; could she have left it in school? There were pictures of her and her friends at parties and text messages which shared secrets.

Claire groaned loudly, her night was already going horrible. A few hours ago, Cam had showed up on her doorstep and told her he still loved her. It was all so confusing. She had broke up with him, yet she felt a tug to go back out with him.

Claire had to admit the only reason she had broken up with Cam was because she had secretly wanted to date Josh. Claire almost laughed at herself, she knew dating Josh would only cause her a million and one problems. Even though he was single now, she understood deep down that Alicia wasn't over him yet. But still, the thought of dating him was always going to be in the back of her mind.

Claire jumped in the air when she heard the tell-tale ring of her cell phone. It was Olivia's ring tone. The phone was underneath her bed, Claire honestly had no idea how it had gotten there.

"Hey," Claire flipped the phone open.

"How could you?" Was the only thing she heard.

What did I just do? That was the only thing running through Cam's mind as he flopped onto his bed. He felt like such an idiot, why did he think Claire would still love him?

The way she had just denied him hurt his ego. Big time. A few days ago she had been more than happy to kiss him but now she was like a different person.

He did feel guilty, he was supposed to be dating Olivia. Maybe for a little while he had been happy with her but she was the opposite of Claire. Unlike Claire, she wasn't bossy and didn't tell him what to do every minute but he had been used to that for a long time. He liked a girl who could take charge instead of one who was a push over and quite frankly didn't understand how to say no.

Ugh, Cam thought, this is so confusing. Should he try again with Claire and dump Olivia or stay with Olivia?

Suddenly, he thought of a different idea. One that could possible make everything okay. Just as he was thinking up his plan, he heard the pounding at his front door.

Derrick pulled his car into his wide driveway. He smiled as he remembered Massie's last kiss. It was amazing; the way she kissed so inexperienced, yet better than his ex-girlfriends. He wasn't saying she was an amazing kisser, but it was sweet how she always got red in the face. Plus her dimples showed more, which he liked a lot.

He brushed the hair out of his eyes. He was thinking of getting a haircut, but in the back of his mind he didn't think girls would like him as much if he had short hair. It was pretty sad about his life if he though girls only liked him because of his hair.

He reached into his pocket for his keys. He knew his parents were not home, probably out with friends or at a funtion. A picture fell out when he did. He laughed when he saw it. It had been taken about ten months ago, when he first started dating Olivia. It was her sitting in his lap; them both smiling like they were fools in love.

Maybe he had loved her in the past, or maybe it had just been lust. But that wasn't important, the only thing that mattered now was making his relationship work with Massie. He was sick of people saying they would never last. They acted like Massie was a total loser and Derrick was just dating her as a joke.

This wasn't a movie; Massie hadn't been a social outcast because everybody hated her. She could have easily been popular if she wanted to but everyone chose to believe that their romance was like the ones in the books. She had come from nowhere to take down the pretty popular girl and win the guy in the end. If Derrick remembered correctly, Olivia and Claire hadn't gone anywhere.

Massie was still herself and he hoped she never changed. He didn't think anything serious would ever come between them. What guy would try to hit on Massie, knowing that Derrick had the full support of his soccer team and they could kick anyones ass? And Derrick knew that he didn't want any other girl beside Massie. He reasurred himself once again as he entered the side entrance which would open to lead into a hallway where his bedroom was located. And he thought the four words that no one should ever say if they don't want something bad to happen. Nothing could go wrong.

Unbeknownst to Derrick, big changes were about to happen.

"She doesn't want to talk to me," Josh leaned forward and burrowed his head into his hands. "I don't blame her, I mean I really fucked up the relationship." He looked up to see Kemp and Chris who were sitting on opposite sides of the room playing a make shift game of catch.

"Are you guys even listening?" Josh asked, annoyed.

"Yeah," Kemp threw the paper ball back to Chris. "You've been complaining about Alicia for the past hour."

"Seriously, dude. You wanted to break up with Alicia anyway." Chris rolled his eyes as Kemp threw the ball ten feet over his head.

"I know, but it almost doesn't feel right," Josh paced around, trying to come up with an explantion of his feelings. He felt he had left things unfinished with Alicia. Their break up was sudden and hadn't gone the way he planned it to. He didn't want to leave it with Alicia hating him, but who was he kidding? No matter what he did, Alicia was going to hate him.

He hadn't been planning on complety breaking it off with her, more like indefinte time apart. He just wanted a break from her clingyness. He still loved her, he wasn't going to lie about that, and he knew in time that Alicia was accept him back.

"Dude, guess what? You can get with whatever girl you want to now," Kemp said, plopping down on Josh's bed.

"Yeah, Josh. Who the fuck cares about Alicia? You're only seventeen, you don't need to be with the same girl forever." Chris agreed with Kemp.

Josh thought about this, if he knew eventually him and Alicia would get back together, why should he be upset about their break up? He grinned to himself. His friends were right, there were plenty of other pretty girls beside Alicia and her friends at WCH.

"Tomorrow is gonna be a good day," Josh laughed with his friends. After a few more minutes of Kemp talking about every girl he thought was hot, the front doorbell rang. No one made a move to answer it.

"Alright then," Josh sighed sitting up and heading for the door. When he opened it, he was shocked as to who was behind it.

"Claire?"

"Hey Josh."

What she did next shocked him even more.

Everything will be explained next chapter!
