"I had an awesome night." Derrick smiled. The next day, Derrick, Cam, Josh, Plovert, and Kemp were walking to Briarwood's outdoor pool.

"Obviously you can't stop smiling." Josh said.

"Yeah." Plovert nodded. "What happened a date?" Cam smiled. "I know a conversation with Massie on IM." Derrick looked at Cam. "How did you know?" "I'm staying at the Block's while parents are at their business trip." Cam explained. "Oh." Derrick said. The guys walked in silence for awhile. Then Plovert decided to break the silence. "So what did you guys talk about?" "Well mostly music." Derrick replied. "She's into the same music as me." Kemp smiled. "There's a sign." Josh nodded. "So do you like her?" Cam asked. Derrick got quite for awhile. The four boys waited patiently for Derrick's answer. "No." Derrick said. "WHAT?" Kemp shrieked like a teenage girl at a Jonas Brothers concert. Derrick shot him a confused look. "Was that a girly scream?" "Uh.. Sorry." Kemp cleared his throat. "So why don't you like her." Josh asked. Derrick shrugged. "Its not that it's just I barely know her." Plovert punched derrick lightly on the arm. "You know her well enough."

"You have a belly button pierced." Dylan gasped. Alicia nodded. "That is so cool."

"Thanks." Massie said slowly while looking at the blue ring on her belly button and the small silver one just above it. "Yeah it's so awesome." Kristen commented. The guys came up behind them. "Yeah and the reason I love my cousin. Here." Cam turned Massie around so her back was facing the girls. "Omigwad," They squealed when they saw the blue and black butterfly Massie had, It was just above her waist on the right side. "Wow." The guys said in unison.

'That's like permanent?" Alicia asked.

Massie nodded. "Yeah I had them when I was fourteen."

"Hold on." Alicia said and grabbed Massie's arm. "So you and Derrick totally connected." Alicia said once they were a few feet away from the rest.

Massie shrugged. "Well we just.."

"Connected." Alicia interjected.

'Well." Massie smiled. Alicia moved her finger around in the air looking like a total retard but when you're the ruler of the school it probably doesn't matter.

"I can tell you'll be a couple." Alicia said. "I just have this feeling."

"Alicia." Massie said sharply. "Derrick is a well…. player."

Alicia rolled his eyes. "You can't believe everything you hear, Mass."

"I barely know him." Massie said.

Alicia smiled manically. She stared so long at Massie. That Massie started to blush. "Ha!"Alicia jumped up and down like a spaz. "What?" Massie said innocently. "What? Alicia smiled brightly. "You know what?.. I just realized you are so in love with Derrick!" Massie made a face. "Ew." "Ha!!." Alicia said excitedly "You say ew now but once you have his children you won't be saying ew." A couple of kids turned around and started staring at the two. "Alicia you're crazy." Massie said. Alicia smiled prodly. "It's fun to be crazy."

Massie sat on a long beach chair by the pool. Derrick, who was talking to an obnoxious blonde chick, kept staring at her.

"So like, I condition to get the extra bounce." She said and fluffed her hair.

"That's great." He said half paying attention.

"Uh… so you wanna make out?" She said and twirled a strand of blonde hair.

"Uh..no." Derrick said and walked away. He made his way toward Massie. "Hey." He said. Massie looked up at Derrick from her beach chair. "You're blocking the sun." She said irritated. Derrick sat on the chair next to her. "So you actually have a tattoo and a piercing?" Massie rolled her eyes but, she stayed silent. "Isn't that illegal or something?" Derrick said dubiously. "Derrick, why do you bother?" Massie finally said. Derrick looked at her. "Bother with what?" Massie sat up. "Talking to me. Don't you despise me? Why are you wasting your breathe?" "I'm not wasting my breathe." Derrick mumbled. "What?" Massie asked. Derrick shook his head. 'Nothing. Nothing at all."

"Look Massie." Derrick said and grabbed her arm like he was about to ask her to marry her. Massie just stared at him in shock. "Uh.. you do know your holding my arm right?"

Derrick stared at Massie's arm and found his hand around her arm. Massie rolled her eyes as she had a thought. Dumb jock.

"Okay so what were you going to say?" Massie asked changing the subject.

"I think we should be friends." Derrick said. Massie widened her eyes and sat in silence.

Derrick actually wants to be friends? Ha! What kind of sick joke is this? Yeah right.

"Derrick." Massie said sweetly. "What are you trying to pull?"

"What do you mean?" Derrick asked.

"You actually want to be friends?" Massie said with disbelief. "According to you I'm a total nerd."

"Hey, if your a nerd into sum41 and boys like girls. You can't be all that bad." Derrick said.

Massie rolled her eyes and stayed quite. Derrick poked her side. "Ow." Massie cried.

"C'mon Massie." Derrick said. "Please lets just try to be friends. It's not going to kill you." Massie didn't respond. Derrick continued begging. "Please for a cookie?" Massie sighted. "Fine, for a cookie."

Derrick smiled. "Great."

Massie tried to smile but, really she couldn't. For one she was completely terrified of Derrick and she was a hundred percent sure Derrick hated her. So why on earth would Derrick want to be friends? Hmm… Massie thought. Was Derrick on drugs or something?

Uh…. I guess that was the end of this chapter. =P I'm not sure if you mind that this chapter revolved around Massie and Derrick. But the next chapters won't always be about them. So anyway thanks to all the people that left reviews for this story!

So tell me what you think! Review?
