Now for Chapter 8!
Disclaimed!
Massie smiled to herself as she looked out the window watching the houses roll by. This summer was going great and Massie was actually kind of looking forward to school. Not that she'd admit that though. Everything has been going great for Massie. She and Derrick didn't spend a day without seeing each other. Massie's parents even had to admit Massie had herself a pretty decent guy. After Massie's first varsity cheer practice today she was to go home, change, then head over to Derrick's house. Derrick's parents had been wondering where Derrick has been spending his time so much lately and when they found out who Massie was they begged for her to come over and meet them right away. Derrick's parents invited Massie over to dinner and Massie was pretty nervous, but kind of excited. Massie's never had a real relationship before and even if she and Derrick weren't officially boyfriend/girlfriend yet it was the closest thing Massie's ever had to a relationship.
Her thoughts were immediately dismissed as her brother pulled to a stop in the school's parking lot. Massie had been looking forward to her first day as a varsity cheerleader ever since she found out she made it. She wasn't going to let anyone down.
She said a quick goodbye to her brothers who were grabbing their bags out of the trunks and all but ran over to the squad. Massie immediately recognized Olivia who was standing around by herself. Massie didn't know anyone else so she went over to her.
"Hey!" Massie greeted Olivia.
Olivia smiled, "Hiya! I didn't know you made varsity too! That's awesome! It's going to be a great season!"
"Yeah, I know! I'm so excited to start and stuff!" Massie smiled too.
"Same here!" Olivia nodded agreeing.
"Where's Alicia?" Massie asked nonchalantly. Alicia was the only thing Massie wasn't looking forward too, but hey people can change… She hoped.
Olivia looked around, "Probably running late," Olivia shrugged then leaned closer to Massie, "Between you and me she's not the brightest when it comes to time."
Massie giggled, but was interrupted by an, "Oh, puh-lease Duh-livia you're not all that bright either!"
None other than the devil herself had arrived. Massie faked a smile towards her as Olivia rolled her eyes.
Alicia approached Massie, "What are you doing here?"
Massie felt tiny compared to Alicia. Not meaning Alicia's fat, meaning how Alicia stood taller and looked down on Massie. "I made varsity too."
Alicia's glare softened and said with fake-sweetness, "Oh, that's awesome!"
Massie smiled but was then engulfed in darkness as someone slid their hands over her eyes.
In a terrible falsetto tone of voice Derrick goes, "Guess who?"
"Hmmm." Massie pretended to think, "Taylor Lautner?"
Derrick removed his hands and turned Massie around, "What? No. It was me! Did I really sound like a chick?"
Massie giggled, "Taylor Lautner is a boy! Besides what are you doing over here? Aren't you going to get in trouble?"
Derrick wrapped his arms around her, "Au contraire actually. The coaches probably won't be ready for like ten minutes."
"You better not get me in trouble!" Massie warned.
Derrick laughed when Massie felt someone put an arm around her neck.
"Hey Massie!" Alicia said over excitedly. "Who's this?" She said checking Derrick out from head to toe.
Massie smiled taken back from Alicia's sudden peppyness. "Uh, this is Derrick. Derrick, this is Alicia."
"I didn't know you had friends." Derrick said half smiling at Massie. Massie rolled her eyes at him, but Alicia burst out into hysterics.
"Ehmagawd, he is too funny. Isn't he too funny?" Alicia asked Massie.
"Yeah, too funny." Massie said sarcastically.
"So, tell me about yourself. Age, Location, Relationship status, Likes, Dislikes? You know the usual."
Derrick was a taken back from all of the sudden questions and mumbled an, "Um.." When the coaches blew their whistles signaling them to go to where they were supposed to be. Derrick pecked Massie on the cheek, "See ya." Then he turned to Alicia, "Nice meeting you Eliza!" He said before running off.
"It's Alicia!" Alicia shouted.
Massie started to walk towards the coach when Alicia caught up to her. "So, what's the deal with you and Derrick?"
Massie looked at her confused, "What do you mean?"
Alicia rolled her eyes annoyed, "Like are you guys together?"
Massie shrugged, "Sort of."
"What do you mean sort of?" Alicia snapped. "Like boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"No, but…" Massie trailed off.
Alicia's scowl turned into a Cheshire cat smile. "That's too bad then." She said before sauntering off towards Alicia.
Massie slumped over to a group of girls by the coach, she definitely did not want to be anywhere near Alicia.
"Alrighty, I'm going to assign stunt groups. These aren't totally permanent; I just want to see how these work." The coach said.
As girls names were called they ventured off away from the coach, soon it was just Massie, Alicia, and 3 other girls Massie didn't know.
The coach turned to them, "You guys are going to be our last group, Massie you're flyer, Alicia back, Claire front, Allie-Rose and Kori bases."
Massie smiled to the other three as Alicia glared a hole into Massie's back. No offense to her group, but Massie didn't feel all that safe being held in the air by 3 people she didn't know and even worse, Alicia.

Massie's stunt group wasn't as half bad as she thought it would be. It was worse. The other three girls were fine, but of course Alicia had to throw a bitch-fit about everything. She complained about how Massie had stepped on her head, or kicked her in the face and after awhile Massie may have done it once or twice on purpose. Not hard though. Massie was beyond grateful when the coach reminded them at the end that these weren't permanent groups. She chugged down her water and started walking towards Derrick.
As Massie reached him Derrick engulfed her in a hug. Massie groaned, "You smell like B.O"
"That's the smell of victory, actually." Derrick smirked.
Massie rolled her eyes, "Yeah right, how was practice?" She asked.
"Pretty damn good!" Derrick smirked even more cockily. "What about you?"
Massie shrugged, "I think it was good too."
Derrick smiled," What was up with that Alicia chick? She was kind of scary." Derrick joked as he started walking Massie towards Adam's car.
"I really don't know. She was so rude to me before you got there and after you left. Just ignore her, ok?"
Derrick shrugged, "Fine by me." Derrick pecked Massie on the cheek and opened the passenger door of Adam's car. "Text me when you're on your way later okay?"
Massie nodded. "Kay!" She pecked Derrick on the lips and got into Adam's car.
Spencer groaned. "You guys make me sick."

AN: I'm so sorry guys I really wanted to keep going with this, but I just remembered I have a project due tomorrow that I'm not too sure what to do on… Oops. But, I promise I'll update as soon as possible, but please review! Let me know if you have any suggestions for upcoming things! Or like if Derrick should just have Sammi as a sister or maybe have a brother too? I don't know, I haven't decided myself yet, but let me know what you guys think! Happy Valentine's Day!
