Thank you so much for all of the reviews!! And sorry for the super late update; my nine year old cousin screwed with my laptop and something broke. But now it's back and better than ever! And my next update will be kinda slow (probably not until next Tuesday) because I'm going to Ontario for a modeling go-see, so I won't be writing that much. But I am super excited :)

Derrick walked through the halls of Westchester High, hand in hand with Alicia. It was the first day of school, and the hallways were full of designer clad girls squealing over new fall clothes

"Ehmagawd, Derrick you're really back!" Exclaimed Allie-Rose Singer, stopping in front of him. "You've grown up," she batted her mascara-clumped lashes.

"Um, yeah…that's normally what happens when you go from being nine to sixteen," he rolled his eyes, tired of the numerous girls coming up and flirting with him. Could they not see he was holding hands with Alicia?

"Let's go, Derrick," Alicia said, eyeing Allie-Rose coolly. "Bye, Allie-Rae."

"It's Allie-Rose," she stomped her foot as Derrick and Alicia stepped past her.

"She is so annoying," Alicia muttered.

Derrick laughed. "You've said that about every girl who has talked to me this morning."

Alicia shrugged. "It's the price you have to pay when you have a boyfriend as amazing as you," she smiled up at him.

Derrick grinned back at her then leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

It was lunchtime on her first day at Westchester High, and Olivia didn't know where to sit. Even though she was somewhat relieved Massie wasn't there, Olivia wished the feisty brunette was there so she'd at least know where to sit.

She saw Claire Lyons and Dylan Marvil sitting surrounded by a bunch of boys. Dylan caught her staring and smirked. Claire waved and pointed to an empty seat. It was the seat Massie usually sat at, Olivia realized.

But there was no way in hell Olivia would ever sit near Dylan Marvil after what her mother did on The Daily Grind.

So instead, she craned her neck to look around the cafeteria. She saw Derrick and Alicia sitting at the back of the café. Alicia caught her eye and waved her over.

Olivia shrugged; her brother and his girlfriend were better than no one. She walked around the tables, careful not to spill her spinach salad.

"Hey, Olivia," Derrick said as she sat down.

"Hey," she glanced at Alicia, who was sitting across from her.

"I saw you all alone," Alicia said, biting a California roll. "So I thought you'd want to sit with us."

"Oh, well thanks," Olivia said, feeling uncomfortable. She hated being the third wheel.

"So, where's Massie?" Alicia asked, looking down at her sushi. "I thought for sure you'd be sitting with her."

"Um, I actually don't know," Olivia said. She hadn't seen Massie in almost three weeks. And she hadn't seen Massie around the houses –but then again, Olivia had kind of been hiding out.

"She left," Derrick said, shoving sweet potato fries in his mouth.

"She left?" Alicia and Olivia asked together.

"Where?" Alicia asked at the exact same time Olivia asked, "Why?"

"Um I don't know where or why. But I found a note in her room, telling her parents she was leaving."

"She's gutsy to miss the first day of school," Alicia said, her eyes briefly flickering over to Claire and Dylan's table. "There may be a few girls trying to take over her throne."

Olivia looked over too. For Massie's 'best friends', they didn't seem to be missing her that much. They were laughing and flirting, and they probably weren't even upset that Massie was MIA. Then again, neither was Olivia.

"Olivia, what dress size are you?" Alicia asked suddenly.

Olivia crinkled her light blonde eyebrows. "A two," she blushed because she wasn't Westchester's standard size zero. Every girl in Westchester was either a size zero or something higher and on the verge of a meltdown.

"Same," Alicia flashed her a bright smile. "And I was planning on taking the afternoon off of school to go to a sample sale. Size twos only," she grinned. "You wanna come? I was going to ask Derrick, but you'd make a much better shopping partner."

Derrick rolled his eyes and nudged Alicia's shoulder playfully.

"Um," Olivia looked up at Derrick. "If I missed school, would you tell mom and dad it was for a sample sale?"

"No," he said, smiling at Alicia. "Then Leesh would get in trouble too."

Olivia grinned. "Then I'd love to go."

As Olivia walked with Alicia out of the café, a little voice in her head told her Massie would be pissed if she found out. But Olivia didn't care.

After a luxurious two weeks in LA, Massie was ready to go back to Westchester. She'd missed the first day of school, but it was okay to be fashionably late.

She arrived in Manhattan just after lunch, hoping to find a sample sale. She found a Marc Jacobs sale, but for size twos only. Massie shrugged, going in anyway. She was a size zero, but trying on clothes in a bigger size always made her feel better; there was no better way to feel skinny.

She walked in the very packed store, running her fingers along the delicate fabrics. She wished she was a size two because of the cutest purple dress she found. Instead, Massie laid it back on the table and turned the other way.

"Oh my gawd, come look at this one," a familiar voice cried. "It's too cute, and it would look perfect on you."

Massie whirled around to see Alicia Rivera picking up the purple dress with her slender hands and handing it to none other than Olivia Harrington.

"I don't know…I'm a little too pale for dark colors," Olivia shrugged. Even after years of living in sunny, hot Arizona, Olivia had never been able to tan very well. "You try it –you have nice tanned skin."

"Hey Olivia," Massie said coolly.

Olivia turned and stared at her, shocked.

"Wait…I thought she was in LA or something?" Alicia whispered to Olivia as if Massie weren't even there.

Olivia shrugged her petite shoulders. "Hey, Mass, you missed the first day of school."

Massie was tempted to say 'duh', but she didn't want to seem too mean. "Um yeah, I took a little vacation. So where's Derrick –he's usually wherever Alicia is," Massie sneered as she said Alicia's name.

Olivia shrugged again. "He's still in Westchester. Probably just getting out of school now," she peeked at the time on Alicia's cell phone as Alicia texted.

"Oh," Massie said awkwardly. "Well I'll be back at school tomorrow, and I'm coming back to Westchester after I'm done here."

"Cool," Olivia said, holding up a black motorcycle boot. "What do you think, Alicia?" She held it up to her. "Okay for fall, or are they too emo?"

"Those are cute," Alicia grinned. "You have to get them."

Olivia snatched the other half of the pair and held them in her arms.

"Um, motorcycle boots are so out," Massie sniffed disapprovingly.

Alicia looked at her coldly. "You're still here?"

Massie ignored her and glared at Olivia. "Trust me, Livs; they're more out than Spanish sluts."

Olivia rolled her icy blue eyes at the insult to Alicia. "Whatever, I'm getting them anyway. They'll look badass with that cropped leather jacket I found."

Massie was shocked that Olivia was being so…Alicia-ish towards her. Weren't they friends?

"Well I should go…I want to get back home before its too dark. It'll take a few hours to get there." Massie looked once more at Olivia. "You want to ride back with me? We can play all the cheesy CDs I bought really loudly and stop at McDonalds for dinner."

"No its okay," Olivia said, not even looking at her. Instead she was looking at Alicia's cell phone screen, giggling over whatever she was seeing. "Me and Leesh are staying in the city for dinner. But I'll call you when I get home or something."

"Okay," Massie shoved her hands into her pockets. "See you later."

She walked out of the store to her car. She waited until she was a block away from Alicia and Olivia before bursting into tears.
