The next day at Briarwood was strange. Massie and Cam walked up the steps and everyone who saw Massie kept whispering. Massie looked around all vulnerable. So much drama at this school. Massie thought to herself. Cam noticed the awkwardness but he shrugged it off.
The two entered Briarwood and everyone started talking and the whole building erupted with noise. The pretty committee ran up to Cam and Massie.
"Oh my gawd." Alicia said breathlessly. The three girls were all panting and panicking.
"What?" Massie asked.
"Uhm, Mass, since this morning there have been massive rumors about you." Alicia said. "Remember the Rivera Gazette thing? Well, it's like that."
Massie's amber eyes widened. "What?" She shrieked. Alicia nodded. Cam stood back in shock.
"It's Nina." Dylan said and Kristen nodded in agreement.
Massie nearly bursted. "What?! What did she say?"
"That you were not so innocent and that you and Derrick had a secret relationship." Alicia said.
"What?" Massie shouted. Cam grabbed his arm. "Calm down Mass."
"And, that Derrick is a reliable source." Kristen added.
"What? That's a lie!" Massie argued.
Alicia shrugged. "Well, everyone is talking about it whether it's true or not."
"But, no." Massie said. "Is Derrick here?"
Dylan and Kristen shrugged. Alicia spoke up. "I don't know I've been calling but, I think his phone died."
"Did he spread it?" Massie asked at once.
"Mass, don't jump to conclusions!" Cam said. "He wouldn't besides; he was all over Bridget last night."
"What?" The three girls yelled in unison. Cam shrugged. "Well, he did say to me that he was trying to get over Massie."
"What if he said that we had a secret relationship so it doesn't seem like he needed to get over me." Massie said. "Gosh, why couldn't he just say he liked me?"
The four all looked at the brunette and Massie all looked back at them. "What?" She questioned as the four bursted into laugher.
"Mass, what do you need a neon sign?" Dylan laughed.
"I don't even know if he likes me." Massie said.
"He does. It's so obvious." Kristen said.
"Honestly, I never noticed." Massie said. Alicia and Cam looked at her and said in unison. "That's cause your too oblivious."
Massie rolled her eyes. "He could just be saying that to get to me."
"Not likely." Alicia said. Massie shrugged and thought about it. Derrick Harrington would do anything and it meant anything to annoy Massie. He was an absolute jerk like that. Massie was lost in her thoughts she didn't even notice a crowd of girls walking her way.
Massie stood in shock as she felt everyone near her. The air quickly filled with the smell of different perfume sprays. Massie crinkled her nose as the smell beam one big stench. It smelled like the mall's makeup counter.
"Are you going out with Derrick?" A blonde girl in a Burberry jacket asked Massie. "Uhm, no." Massie replied.
"Whatever." Some girl wearing black leather boots said. The crowd of girls quickly exploded with questions. Massie just stared at all of them. The pretty committee and Cam were all telling them to go away. And finally they did, once the bell rang.
"I'm going to kill Derrick Harrington." Massie said, angrily as she stomped all the way to class. But still, a whole bunch of people followed her and kept asking questions as if they were the paparazzi.

Massie Block was on a mission to kill Derrick and make all the rumors die down. At lunch, she looked into the Café' for Derrick bur he wasn't there. Nina had a big smirk on her face but, Massie just ignored it. The Café' was loud and full of students. Massie could feel some eyes on her. But, she also, ignored it. What could she do?
Massie checked her phone. No messages. Massie walked out the Café' and ran to the soccer field. She made it to the large field a few minutes later. It was empty. Massie stood in the green grass and felt something hard hit her. Massie turned around and bent down to see a piece of bread. Wow, that's random. Massie thought. She picked it up and looked around for a suspect.
Massie looked up at the bleachers and saw Derrick with a big grin and a tiny piece of bread in his hand. Massie walked up to the bleachers with the piece of bread in her palm. She walked up the last few steps and threw the bread at derrick. Derrick blocked it with his hand. Massie sat down next to him. "What are you doing here?" She asked.
Derrick turned to her, smiled then faced to the field. "It's quieter here and it turns out we're the latest news on the gossip list."
Massie looked at him and was about to smile but, she remembered something. "Uh... wait -."
"I did not say we were in a relationship." Derrick interrupted her.
"Oh." Was all Massie could say.
"Besides." Derrick smiled brightly. Massie stared at him with her amber eyes. Derrick continued. "I sort of like someone else."
Massie's eyes widened. "You do?"
"Yeah." Derrick nodded. "There's this girl I've had my eye on for a while."
"Who?" Massie asked. Derrick smiled. "Can't say, Block."
"Fine." Massie said. She looked down at her shoe and saw the piece of bread. She picked up the tiny piece and through it straight into Derrick's eye.
"Ow." He said with no enthusiasm. Massie laughed. "So, what are you doing with bread?" Massie tried to sound cool, but, she couldn't keep her mind off of Derrick's new crush.

After Massie and Derrick talked, she walked over to the Briarwood Cafeteria. She pushed the swinging door open and everyone looked at her.
Nina walked up to her all evil. Claire and Layne fallowed behind. Massie was stunned, Claire and Layne in Nina's clique?
"Hey Massie." Nina greeted. "So, how's Derrick?" The pretty committee walked up to them. They stayed in the side of Massie and Nina
"Derrick and I aren't together and you know it." Massie said almost sounding apologetic. Alicia wanted to throw up. Massie was too nice.
"Whatever." Nina said loud enough for a few students to stop talking. They all watched. Nina grabbed a pink smoothie on a tray from a table and flicked it toward Massie's Juicy Couture top. Massie gasped and so did everyone in the Café'.
Alicia had to hold Dylan back from killing Nina. Massie just stared at Nina, innocently. Nina smiled and spoke up. "It's funny really. How you thought Miss innocent had everyone on her side."
Massie just stared at her with confusion. Then, Nina continued. "How, you thought Claire and Layne were on your side? They were just my spies spilling all you pathetic loser secrets."
Massie looked at Claire and Layne. They avoided eye contact. Massie just turned to Nina and stared at her blood red lip stick. The pretty committee walked up to them and stood next to Massie. Alicia and Dylan, the mean ones, stood in front of Massie and looked Nina in the eye. Kristen helped Massie with her shirt.
"Why don't you just leave Massie alone?" Alicia said grimly. Dylan just shot her the evil eye.
"Oh, puh-lease, cousin, don't back her up." Nina said.
"Why don't you go get yourself a bra?" Alicia said. Nina just folded her arms across her chest. "You know another thing that's funny."
"That you ugly and no one likes you?" Alicia interrupted with a huge smile on her face.
Nina just rolled her eyes. "No, that you can be the hottest thing one minute and then standing on the sidelines the next."
Alicia remained silent. Nina smirked and started walking as Claire and Layne walked away. As Nina passed by Massie, she elbowed her which caused Massie to fall over. Kristen helped her up.
Once Nina left, Alicia looked at Massie. "Mass, I think we need to go through a major makeover."
"What?" Massie asked as she stared down to her shirt. Dylan nodded. "Mass, you're too soft and vulnerable."
"That's why Nina picks on you." Kristen added.
"But… I don't want to be mean." Massie said. Alicia sighed. "But, we have to if we want to win Nina's game."
"But." Massie said and thought about it. Nina did walk all over her and Claire used her. Massie nodded at the three girls. "But, how?"
"We transform you into the hottest girl in town." Alicia smiled and grabbed her credit card.
Yay! Finally the makeover all you readers wanted. Yes, Massie goes bad! But, not really.
