The next day Massie walked to her locker and met up with Claire. Massie sighed loudly, opened her locker, grabbed a book, and slammed her locker shut.

"Hey Mass." Claire said slowly. "uh, you okay?"

Massie leaned against the lockers. "No. Claire have you ever liked someone before and then now they just annoy you so much. That you just want to stab them and watch them bleed really really really really hard. But, you just want to laugh manically because they annoy you so much!!! And you start chanting DIE DIE!! Massie started talking real fast with her voice rising. "Yeah, and you just keep stabbing cause you want to see if they'll still bleed? And…"

"Massie!! Massie, calm down." Claire said. Massie took a deep breathe. "Sorry."

Claire took a book out of her bag "so, what's the point of this panic attack?"

The hallway started filling up with students. Massie played with the ends of her hair.

"Is it normal to hate someone and like someone completely at the same time?"

Claire thought for a while and stared at Massie's charm bracelet that dangled from her wrist. "I don't know. You know what they say 'the more you hate the more you love'"

Massie scrunched up her nose and made a disgusted face. "Ewwwwww."

Claire shrugged "Well, I don't know."

"That's disgusting. Impossible. Love? I DO NOT LOVE DERRICK HARRINGTON!!" Massie exclaimed. And as if on cue Cam, Alicia, and Derrick walked up to Massie's locker. "I mean sure, he has an amazing body and adorable caramel brown eyes. He appears to be kissable too. But, I DO NOT LOVE HIM!" Massie exploded. Claire looked passed Massie's shoulder.

"Love?" Derrick's voice came behind Massie. Massie froze. Uh-oh she thought. Derrick tapped Massie on the shoulder. "What did you say Block?" Massie gulped and turned around to face him. "What?"

"Did you just say you loved me?" Derrick asked curiously. Massie laughed "What ha! NO! I said and I quote 'I DO NOT LOVE DERRICK HARRINGTON'."

"Really?" Derrick raised an eyebrow. "So, you just randomly scream that you don't love me in hallways?"

Massie folded her arms across her chest. "Well, just wanted to spread the truth!"

Derrick said. "Really? Cause according to you I have a great body with adorable caramel brown eyes. But, you know." He leaned against the row of lockers and ran a hand through his gorgeous blonde hair. "I can't blame you. I am hot." Derrick appeared to be teasing.

"Ewww." Massie said. "I just don't understand how anyone can even stand you!"

Derrick shrugged." Maybe because I'm so kissable."

"EW!" Massie shrieked. "You know Derrick Harrington, you have such an ego!"

"But, I'm still kissable right?" Derrick teased.

XX

"Ugh can you believe that ego he has?" Massie asked Claire as they walked to the Cafeteria. Claire shrugged. "Well, I don't know. Don't you thin he has a right to be conceited? I mean, Mass, he's gorgeous.."

"Oh, puh-lease." Massie rolled her eyes as they entered the cafeteria. They both grabbed a tray and looked at today's food selection.

"But, don't you like him?" Claire asked. Massie's eyes grew large. "What?!" Claire looked at the brunette innocently. "Well, you were the one who said earlier this morning." Massie finished getting her lunch and sighed. "Well, I'll be honest Claire I do." Claire nearly dropped her tray. "Uh, what? Since when?"

Massie led Claire and her to a table. They both sat down and Massie slammed her tray so hard that her Vitamin water bottle feel over. "Since last night."

Claire took a sip from her coke bottle. "Really? That's so strange." She chuckled to herself and played with her straw.

"What?" Massie asked and stabbed at her salad. "Why are you laughing?"

"Well, Mass, I gotta give you props. You act like you completely hate the guy." Claire laughed. Massie blushed and stayed quiet for a moment then she said. "Yeah, well, what do you expect? We grew up hating each other and now this?"

"Why do you hate each other?" Claire asked curiously.

"Well, it's a long story but, to cut it short I was at the Westchester Park when I was nine. I always went there to read and Derrick went there to play soccer. And let's just say he knew I was the studying type yet, he kept annoying me to play. But, I just wouldn't so, he had to be so annoying and he just kept purposely trying to kick the ball towards me." Massie said. "Geez, he's so lacking attention."

Claire was having pasta and she rolled up the noodles around her fork. "Wow, that's a weird story." Massie looked up from her lunch and stared at Claire for awhile. "Why do you say that?"

Claire laughed. "Well, Mass derrick needed your attention! He probably liked you back then!"

"Back then?" Massie asked. "Like, not anymore?"

The Pretty Committee came walking up to Massie and Claire's table. Claire rolled her eyes as the three beautiful girls came walking up to them. They just had to walk in slow motion making everyone cherish their existence. How pathetic. Claire thought.

"Hey, Mass." Alicia chirped perkily and flipped her shiny thick hair. "Oh, and hey, Claire." Claire smiled. "Hi." She sounded a little annoyed.

"Do, where's Olivia?" Massie asked. "Did she leave already?"

"Yeah." Dylan said and shot Kristen a look. Kristen nodded and elbowed Alicia. "Uh, Mass, can we talk to you for awhile?" Alicia asked politely. Massie smiled "Sure." And looked over at Claire. Massie stood up and followed The Pretty committee. They stopped walking by the cafeteria's exit. "Mass, I don't think you should hang out with that Claire Lyons." Alicia said point-blank. That threw Massie of guard. "uh, why not?"

"Well, Mass, Claire was like my best friend in middle school." Alicia said. Massie shot Alicia a look. "oh, don't give me that 'you such a hypocrite kind of look.'."

Massie cracked a smile. "Okay, but, please continue."

"Well, Claire and I had so much in common. But, when I had my first boyfriend Claire thought I was neglecting her or something. But, my boyfriend introduced me to some people and we started hanging out more. And Claire joined the computer club and that's like ew. So, when we entered high school we just started drifting. I guess that's what happens when you grow up." Alicia said.

Massie spoke up after a moment of silence. "But, what's your point?"

"Just don't hang out with her." Alicia warned. "Trust me."

"Alicia, I don't think you really have a right to tell me who to hang out with. I mean, Claire's real nice." Massie said.

Alicia looked at Dylan and Kristen but, they were to busy re-applying lip gloss. Alicia sighed. "Fine, whatever. But, don't tell you I didn't warn you." Massie looked at Alicia innocently. "Okay, don't worry."

Yes, I know it's been loooong. Sorry. But, I will start updating all my stories kay???

So, that was that. Not that great? Yeah, probably. But, the next chapter is one of those cut Masington moments. =) review?
