Massie took a deep breath. "Mom, why do you and Dad have to be so careless to give a twelve year- old a credit card?" Massie snapped. She knew that she was being selfish and that what she did was wrong.
"Massie how could you be so careless?" Kendra said, as she walked out of the room. The door slammed shut. Massie logged onto her credit card account and checked it again. She could not breathe. Massie rushed to her phone and dialed Alicia's number.
"Alicia, call Dyl and Kristen. You guys have to come over," Massie practically screamed into her phone.
"Kay," Alicia said in a calm, low voice. Then she hung up. Massie started biting her nail. She heard footsteps coming towards her door. The door slid open.
"Hey, you're acting like me," Claire said giggling.
Massie immediately pulled her hand out of her mouth.
"Shut up!" Massie yelled. She felt bad that she snapped at Claire like that but she was upset and frustrated. Claire sighed. I thought she was supposed to be nicer to me, she thought.
"What's wrong with you?" Claire asked, smoothing her bangs. She sat down on Massie's bed, not caring about what she would say to her.
Massie ignored Claire and turned away from her computer. They just said there in silence. Then the silence was finally broken.
"I lost my credit card," Massie said.
Claire's eyes widened. Would she have to leave the guesthouse?
"Ehmagawd," Claire said, sounding like Massie. "What are you going to do?"
Massie shrugged. She felt the tears coming, but tried her best to hold them in because she did not want to embarrass herself. After minutes of sitting, Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen walked in.
Dylan was munching on an apple. Alicia tossed her Prada bag onto Massie's bed, almost hitting Claire.
"Girl, what's up?" Alicia said, with an anxious look on her face.
Massie did not answer. Instead, she picked up her phone and ordered Chinese food. She remembered that she was starving.
"Five orders of chicken and broccoli, four of them are small except for one large." Massie looked at Dylan. Alicia burst out laughing. Kristen and Claire tried their best not to laugh because they did not want to hurt Dylan's feelings.
"Thanks, bye," Massie hung up. "I'll tell you guys the big news over dinner."
"Gawd, Massie I'm so excited to hear!" Dylan said, taking another bite out of her apple.
Massie scowled at Dylan.
"Well don't be!" Massie yelled. Later the food came. Massie handed out chopsticks and picked at her food.
"Dylan, don't eat so fast!" Kristen yelled giggling. Dylan popped a big piece of broccoli and chicken in her mouth.
"Come awn, Massie!" Alicia groaned.
"Yeah tell us!" Dylan said will her mouth full.
