OCD Café (Table 18)

May 5th

12:03 pm

"Why is Josh over girls? Was it something I did?" Alicia whined.

"No I don't think so. I think that it was something Cam or Derrick said. I'm just guessing though." Kristen said.

"I want Josh back but if the fate of the PC depends on it I guess I'll ask out Cam" Alicia replied. "Hey, if I ask out Cam who is Kuh-laire going to ask out?"

Massie was just staring at the boys table.

"Massie…hello?" Dylan waved her hand in front of Massie's face.

"I said 'If I ask out Cam who is Claire going out with?"

"Oh um she is still on the boyfast she decided." Massie lied quickly. Claire was outside talking to Josh at the moment.

"But what about our Alpha status?" Alicia asked.

"I excused her from that rule. As long as the rest of us have boyfriends it shouldn't be a problem."

"Oh okay" Alicia said not completely convinced. "Well I guess I'll go and ask Cam out." She got up and went over to the boys table.

"Derrington wants to seem me by the OCD pool so I have to go." Massie, to nervous to eat, threw away her Caesar salad and left.

(A/N Sorry to interrupt but I want to say that the next few sections can be read in any order. It will be what happens with Alicia, Massie, Kristin and Dylan and Claire, who was outside.)

Claire:

"So Claire have you decided if you want to go out with me?"

"Yeah I have. I'll go out with you but you can't tell Alicia. She thinks that you aren't dating right now. Actually don't tell anyone for now. She is the gossip queen and is bound to find out."

"Alright whatever you say." Josh agreed still not sure what the big deal was.

"Thanks Josh" Claire said and gave him a peck on the lips. "Why does Derrick want to talk to Massie?"

"Oh he wants to discuss…..

Massie:

Massie approached the OCD pool and saw Derrington sitting on a bench. When he saw her he stood up and walked toward her.

"Hey Block."

"Hi Derrick"

"So Block I wanted to talk to you about Kristin."

"What about Kristin?" Massie asked, shocked, but not letting it show.

"Well I was wondering if she is single."

"Why? Does Griffin want to get back together with her?"

"No I kind of wanted to ask her out." Derrick mumbled.

"What did you say?" Massie asked although she caught every word he said.

"I want to ask her out." Derrick said louder.

"Derrick, do I look like dust?"

"No"

"Then why are you blowing me off?" Massie turned on her heel and swiftly left the room, but not before pushing a stunned Derrington into the pool.

Alicia:

"Hey Cam" Alicia greeted sitting down beside him.

"Um hi Alicia. Did Claire send you over? Because I don't want to hear it."

"No she didn't I don't know where Claire is."

"Oh then why are you here?"

"I want to talk to you."

"About what?"

"I want to ask you if you want to go to a movie tomorrow night?"

"Oh. Um actually I want to ask Claire to a movie tomorrow night."

"Cam I don't want to be the one to tell you this but I just heard that Claire is over you."

"What? Why?"

"I don't know."
"Can you find out?"

"I don't know what's in it for me?"

"I'll go to the movie with you."

"Okay." Alicia kissed him lightly on the cheek, got up and left.

Kristen and Dylan:

"We are the only ones who are still single." Dylan complained.

"Not me. Not any more." Kristen replied.

"What why?" Dylan asked, surprised.

"Because I see a HART coming this way."

"Where?" Dylan asked looking around.

"Hello." Dylan heard a soft voice say.

"Hi. What brings you here?" Kristen asked playfully.

"I wanted to ask a pretty girl out." He replied. The boy had green eyes and jet black hair that was spiked.

"Oh really."

"Yeah. You want to get pizza with me tomorrow night?" He asked Kristen.

"Sure."

"Okay I'll pick you up at 7."

"Alright. Here's my number." She wrote her cell phone number on his arm.

"Thanks. See you later."

"'kay see you." Kristen said and he walked away.

"When did you get so comfortable around guys?" Dylan asked.

"I don't know." Kristen smiled to herself and took a bite of her salad.

The Bomb Shelter

May 5th

"Hurry up Massie we could be missing something good." Kristen said. Massie turned the key and reached in and flicked on the light and the PC all rushed into the room and sat on the pink director chairs. Massie grabbed the remote and turned on ESP.

"Pencils down." Dr. Loni said and all the boys put down their pencils and looked up. "Okay that was a great journal writing session. Now does anyone have anything they want to share?" All the boys looked around the room as if they suddenly found everything very interesting. "Okay if no one is willing to share then we will start with Derrick." He threw the share bear to Derrington. "So Derrick why are you wet?"

"Because Massie pushed me in the pool." He stated.

"Why did she do that?"

"Because I asked her if-"

"So does anyone want a latte?" Massie asked loudly to cover Derringtons answer. Unfortunately though, the girls heard.

"He asked you if I was single?" Kristen asked, shocked.

"Yeah so I pushed him into the pool." Massie said casually still looking at the screen.

"Oh" Kristen said nodding "Too bad I'm not."

"Wait what?" Claire asked.

"Shhhh. It's Josh's turn." Alicia said and turned back to the screen.

"Josh, why did you ask Claire out when you knew Cam still liked her?"

"I-I don't know. Cause I heard she was over him."

"HE WHAT?" Alicia roared.

"Well he sort of asked me out and I sort of said yes." Claire said.

"Is that why he isn't into me anymore?"

"I don't know."

"Kuh-laire. How could you? Is this why you're not into Cam anymore?"

"Well….maybe" Claire said looking at the ground "I'm sorry okay."

"Claire you stole my almost boyfriend."

"I know it all just happened so fast."

"Okay shush for now. Talk about it later." Massie said and Claire and Alicia stopped talking.

"Cam, how do you feel about Claire and Josh?"

"I wish Josh would have talked to me first."

"Would you call this a case of lack of communication?" Dr. Loni asked.

"No. I'd call it a case of stealing my girlfriend."

"Dude, you broke up with her," Josh said.

"Yeah but you knew I still loved her."

"Good. This is good communicating just get all your feelings out."

"I hate you." Cam said to Josh.

"Cam, we do not use the word hate in this room."

"Okay Josh would you accompany me outside."

"No" Josh said. Claire was stunned for two reasons. One, she had never had two guys fight over her and second she had never seen Cam so angry, not even when Derrick kept bothering him about Nikki.

"Josh and Cam come here after school and write about your anger." Dr. Loni said sternly. "Let's do an exercise to help get the anger out." They all got up and Massie turned the it off.

"Well, that was informing." Massie said. "Now how is the mission going? Kristen?"

"I have a date tomorrow with, actually, I never got his name."

"Well what does he look like?" Massie asked.

"He has green eyes and spiky jet black hair."

"Oh that's Skyler. He just moved here from California." Alicia answered.

"Oh thanks."

"Okay he sounds HART. Just make sure he's HART on your date tomorrow." Massie made a note on her Palmpilot.

"Dylan?"
"No, I can't find anyone."

"Well keep looking. Make sure you have someone by today."

"Got it."

"Alicia?

"Claire stole my boyfriend."

"No, I didn't he wasn't even your boyfriend."

"When did you get so confident anyway?" Alicia spat.

"I don't know. Maybe my confidence has been growing you just haven't noticed because all you do is talk about Josh." Claire replied.

"I resent that."

"Well, it's true."

"Well maybe we'll just see who's alpha next year. Alicia said and walked out of the room leaving a stunned Pretty Committee behind.

"Claire what have you done? Alicia left the PC because you stole her boyfriend." Kristen said.

"He wasn't her boyfriend he said so himself." Claire said and looked at Massie who hadn't said anything this whole time. She just stared at the ESP screen with her eyes glazed over.

"Massie? Hello?" Dylan said waving a hand in front of her face.

"We're done. The PC is over. We are LBR's."

"What no we're not." Kristen said.

"Yes we are. Don't you get it? Alicia's gone. Derrington doesn't like me anymore. Dylan can't find a guy and you anly have a guy you're going out with tonight and Claire will be labeled as a boyfriend stealer for the rest of eternity no matter how official Alicia's relationship with Josh was. We don't have the power to bring down the boys without Alicia. The Room is our only hope."

"Massie, I-you're right. We're done." Dylan said and put her head in her hands. Kristen sat shocked and said:

"You're right."

"C'mon guys don't give up. Kristen you have that date tonight and Josh and I are together. This doesn't have to be the end. You know what I have an idea. Tomorrow we'll be alpha's for sure. Alicia won't even know what hit her." Claire said.

Review please. Criticism welcome. I want to make my writing better so if you don't like it please tell me why. Thanks.
