After Massie hit end on her phone she looked at the time. It was 5:40 and Massie told Ethan she would meet him at six. She walked into her closet, and decided she needed a good soccer outfit. Something for soccer...something for soccer... Massie kept thinking.
She flipped through the wooden hangers in her closet. She needed to look cute. Not her everyday chic cute, but sporty cute. She needed to look fabulous. Finally, she settled on a Abercrombie sweat outfit. With a pink, blue, and grey tee; saying Abercrombie on the front. The sip-up jacket and roll-up pants were the same color blue. She rolled the pants just above her kneecap, and was settled with her outfit.
Massie went into her bathroom, and looked at her hair. She quickly twisted them into two loose braids. Massie glossed one more time, and finally, was really ready to go.

"So we're playing two-on-two?" Derrick asked the twins, and they shook their heads approvingly.
"Yeah so, if you guys don't mind..."
"Go on," Claire said.
Ethan sighed and started again, "Well if you two don't mind, I think I'm going to be on Massie's team."
Derrick and Claire looked at each other and started laughing.
"Wh-what?" Ethan asked, staring at the two giggling still.
"M-mas," Derrick was laughing too much that he couldn't even talk.
Claire finished for him, "Ethan, Massie doesn't run. Unless it's to a major shopping sale. We told you this."
"Oh," Ethan said.
They started drifting over to the backyard. Claire and Derrick sat on the patio swing, and Ethan sat on a chair.
"Here's Massie," Claire said under her breath so only Derrick and Ethan could hear her.
Ethan got up from his seat and hugged Massie. He said 'hey' and kissed her cheek.
Massie giggled, "Hey to you too."
Claire leaned over to Derrick and whispered "My brother is such a hopeless romantic..."
Derrick cupped his hands around Claire's ear and said, "Your right."
Claire smiled and already thought the day couldn't get any better.

Fifteen minutes later they were all playing soccer. Even Massie. Claire and Derrick were up by 2, and Massie and Ethan kept fooling around.
Claire was getting annoyed by the two. Especially Ethan. She hated how his life was so great after only being in Westchester for a week. But on the other hand, she was happy for him. I mean, he was her brother...
The soccer ball came her way and she heard Derrick yell, "C'mon Claire! Score!!"
She ran the ball half way down their "backyard field". She dodged Massie, and made her way to Ethan, who was waiting at the goal. Claire kicked the ball, and made it in!
"We won!" Derrick yelled, wiggling his butt around.
He ran over to Claire and lifted her off her feet. Claire giggled, Ethan and Massie came over and laughed at Derrick.
"Are you guys hungry?" Ethan asked the other three.
After a chorus of 'yes's' Ethan and Derrick went into the house and said they would be back. Massie and Claire sat in the grass.
"That was fun," Massie said after the silence was bugging her a little.
"Yeah, it was... I'm glad you came Massie," Claire said, smiling a tiny grin.
"Me too," Massie said finally looking Claire in the eyes.
"Can you believe how Derrick wiggled his butt after you two won?!" Massie asked.
They started talking like they were best friends. And that was what Claire needed right now. A best friend.
They kept talking and finally Massie said, "I'm sorry about you know.."
"Hmm?" Claire asked. Was she really apologizing??
"I'm sorry about making fun of you. I should have got to know you first..and know, your not half bad."
"Thanks," Claire said smiling. Massie wasn't as bad as she thought either.

"Here we go ladies," Derrick said as he and Ethan came out.
They brought a picnic basket and a blanket, as Ethan spread the blanket out, Claire and Massie shared a look. Claire could tell Massie was thinking the same as she was. Wow.
The guys finished setting lunch up and they all sat on the blanket.
"So we have PB&J, ham, turkey, what do you want Block?" Ethan asked.
"Ham please," Massie stated.
"What do you want Claire?" Derrick asked as he and Ethan were still hunched over the picnic basket.
"Peanut butter and jelly."
"Here," Derrick said handing Claire her sandwich.
Ethan and Derrick grabbed there own and sat beside the girls.
"Derrick do you like Claire?" Massie asked out of the blue.
"I-uh..."
"Because it seems like you do. And if you do you should just tell her," Massie continued.
"Well I mean-"
"C'mon tell her Derrick. Tell Claire how you feel. I can see it in your eyes. You like Claire," Massie said.
"Ummm-"
"Massie why don't we go get some drinks?" Ethan asked.
"Fine," She said and the couple got up and walked to the Lyons' house.
