Massie was walking down the hallways and bumped into Derrick. The two looked each other in the eye and Massie could swear she felt this jolt of excitement. Derrick was gorgeous. His face perfectly shaped with his unbelievably blonde hair and caramel brown eyes. Honestly, Massie could stare at him, all day. But, she immediately shook that feeling off.

"Hey, Block." Derrick said casually. "Word in the halls is you are definitely one of the prettiest girls in Briarwood."

Massie started to blush, but, she just laughed. "Very funny."

Derrick shrugged and stuffed his hand in his pockets. "So, uhm, you going to history?

Massie nodded and held her text book close to her chest. "Yeah, I was just headed there."

"Oh uhm." Derrick looked nervous. "Can I walk you to class?"

Massie broke into a shy smile. "Sure." The two started walking together. Derrick looked down to his shoes as he walked and Massie could feel the heavy stares of jealous girls on her.

"So, are you going to the dance with anyone?" Massie asked, conversationally. Derrick looked at her quickly. "Why do you like me?" He teased.

"Massie blushed and turned the other way. "No, I was just wondering."

"Oh, yeah I'm going." Derrick answered. "Are you going with anyone?'

Massie turned to him. "I don't know, yet."

"Okay." Derrick said and tried not to sound so relieved. This was so awkward. Derrick thought.

"So, how are you and Bridget?" Massie asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Was all Derrick could say.

"You and Bridget." Massie repeated. "Are you guys like, dating?"

Derrick laughed and Massie stopped walking. "What?" Massie asked all confused.

"I'm sorry, it's just me and her have no chemistry." Derrick explained.

"Chemistry?" Massie laughed. "Whatever, you liar!"

"I am not." Derrick said sincerely. "Sure, she and I had this attraction thing going on but, once I kissed her there was no magic, no sparks."

"No sparks?" Massie questioned. "You kissed her?"

Derrick nodded. "Yeah, after the movies."

"And so what?" Massie pressed.

"Well, we decided on being friends. Just friends." Derrick said simply.

Massie looked at him straight in the eye. Derrick wasn't the impulsive air head he appeared to be.

"You okay?" Derrick asked when Massie had no response. The air blew lightly through the halls and blew the parts of Massie's hair onto her face. Derrick unexpectedly, pushed away the strand of brown and touched her cheek with his palm. Massie felt chills run down her spine. Derrick quickly let his hand go as a group of gossiping girls passed by.

The two continued walking again and Massie spoke up. "So, your not going with anyone?"

Derrick shrugged. "I'll get together with someone."

They finally reached their destination. Massie looked at the teal door. "So, uhm, I was wondering." Derrick said practically in a whisper. "I don't know maybe we could go…" But, he was interrupted by Cam.

"Hey guys." Cam said and put his hands over Massie's and Derrick's shoulders. "What's up?"

"Well, I was gonna ask Block something." Derrick said quietly. "If you want to-." Just then the bell rang. Ugh! Derrick thought as the bell rang and rang for what seemed like forever. The silver bell's rings finally came to an end.

"What?" Massie asked curiously.

"Uhm, nothing." Derrick said nothing. "Well, I'm gonna go now." He said taking a step back from Cam and Massie.

Cam walked into the classroom and Massie fallowed but, stopped halfway. "Uh… Derrick."

Derrick turned to her. "Yeah."

"This is your next class." She said and pointed in the room. Derrick looked at the door.

"Oh." He smiled sheepishly and he walked into the room passed Massie. Massie took a quick sniff of Derrick's smelled of the most delicious cologne. She couldn't label it, it was so strong and addictive. As, Derrick went inside the class Massie stared at him and cherished his breathtaking scent.

At lunch, the pretty committee had lunch, with Massie. She was now a new member, kicking Olivia Ryan off her spot. Massie found it weird that she was labeled as in the group. It was ridiculous. Massie looked around and saw everyone in their own group; cheerleaders, band geeks, jocks, preps, skaters, and many more.

It's like different species of human at Briarwood. Massie thought. Alicia was picking at her salad, while she checked her phone.

Dose she have a boyfriend? Massie wondered. Dylan was reading the nutrient facts on the back of granola bar. Kristen was listening to music while she had sushi.

"So, any news?" Alicia asked as she poured ranch dressing over her salad.

Dylan shook her head. "Well,, apparently Olivia posted a Myspace bulletin saying that you had secret affairs with everyone of the tomahawks."

"Ugh, she's such a cry for help!" Alicia cried and Kristen nodded. Just then Nina, Claire, and Layne walked up to them.

"Oh, hello cousin." Nina said in that thick Spanish accent. Alicia rolled her eyes and moved around the lettuce in her salad.

"What are you doing here?" Dylan spat and flipped her red fiery hair.

"I was just gonna ask Alicia if she was running for senior president." Nina said and blew a kiss to a couple of guys who were checking her out.

"Why would you want to know?" Alicia asked. Alicia was only vice president of the junior class. Derrick Harrington, himself, was president of the junior class.

"Well, I'm going to run." Alicia said, point blank.

"Why? So you can lose?" Kristen asked as she pulled off her earphones.

"No." Layne defended Nina. "She's so winning."

"Not even in this life time, Nina." Alicia said.

"So, you're running?" Nina asked again.

"Why? Would I? Alicia stood up from her seat and everyone in the Café' stopped talking and looked at the girls.

"Are you scared?" Nina smirked.

"Scared me?" Alicia said in disbelief. "No, but, even when we were kids I always won. And what fun would that be?"

"So, you're not running?" Claire finally spoke up.

Alicia laughed. "No I'm not but, someone will."

"Who?" Nina, Claire, and Layne asked in unison.

"Massie." Alicia said simply. The three girls looked at her. Even, Massie had a shock face. The whole Café' gasped.

"Massie?" Nina asked as if ready to laugh.

"Yeah." Alicia said and folded her arms across her chest,

"Well, she has no chance." Layne said and Nina nodded in agreement.

"Oh, really?" Kristen stood up too. "I think your just scared."

"Scared of her?" Nina pointed a long red nail at Massie. "Puh-lese, like, I would be scared of a prep school newbie."

"Yeah, you should be." Alicia said strongly. "You're jealous because she may be the new girl but, she still managed to steal everyone's hearts including Derrick Harrington."

The whole Café' buzzed with noise. Nina and her group was speechless.

"Fine, she can run, and I will still win." Nina said bravely. Claire and Layne nodded.

"Okay, good, let the games begin, cause I can't wait for Massie to kick your ass." Alicia said aggressively and slowly.

Nina and her group walked away. Alicia turned to Massie with a smile. "She was pissed!"

"But, Alicia, me run?" Massie said in non-complete silence.

Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen nodded. "You'll so win, Mass."

"But, I can't." Massie said.

"Don't you wanna ruin Nina?" Dylan asked.

"Of course." Massie said as she twirled a piece of her brown hair.

"Then are you in or out?" Alicia asked. Massie looked at all three of them and thought for a moment. While, she was at Briarwood, she might as well, leave her mark. "I'm in."

The PC clapped with huge smiles. After the bell rang for lunch Massie opened her locker and a small white envelop stuck out. Massie grabbed it and opened it. It said, as weird and as cliché' as this may be I sort of like you. But, I can't tell you who exactly I am. Signed secret admirer. Massie's amber eyes widened and looked around the halls. Who could it be?
