Massie sighed and sat down on the fold out chair beneath her. She blew the brown hair in front of her face. She had no idea what would happen. Massie could hear Mr. Rockwell saying some stuff about the upcoming soccer games.

Massie waited for everyone to escape to lunch. She could hear the noise fading away as Mr. Rockwell ended the assembly. Massie stayed behind the curtains and could here the curtain opening and foot steps came walking toward her.

"Block," A manly voice said behind her. Massie looked down at her palms. Derrick came closer and she turned to face him.

"That was some speech." He commented and Massie smiled. He was wearing a black Calvin Klein suit. He was adorable and he made Massie's lip quiver.

He kneeled in front of her. "So, that was not part of Alicia's ready made speech."

Massie let out a small laugh, "yeah well, I just am tired of this."

"What do you mean?"

"I can't handle choosing sides wondering if I'm just being spied on or if I can have a chemistry set." Massie shrugged and Derrick brushed back her brown hair that was falling on her face.

Derrick smiled at her and she returned it. Derrick leaned closer to her and was about to touch her lips with his but he quickly pulled away.

"When can we start going out?" He said his face close to hers. Massie felt awkward he was so close to her face, inches away from his mouth, and close enough to kiss.

Massie shrugged. "Derrick, it's just weird."

"What's weird?"

Other than the position we're in? Massie said in her head. Massie could feel a bead of sweat forming on her head. "It's just you can't change who you are." She had no idea how to explain this.

"Oh," Derrick shrugged and backed away from Massie. He brought her hands into his. "I'm having a party tonight, at my house, and Jennifer Brooks is my date."

Massie's jaw nearly dropped but she decided to play it cool. "Oh, how lovely."

"Yeah, she's a family friend." Derrick said simply.

"And the head cheerleader," Massie put in and Derrick thumped her on the forehead. Massie giggled and punched his arm.

"That's just an add-on." Derrick joked and Massie rolled her eyes. "I hate you."

"I hate you too." Derrick said with no effort.

"I hate you more." Massie said and her anger was rising.

"I hate you more than you hate me." Derrick said still holding onto Massie's hands.

Massie stayed silent and she kicked Derrick in the knee. "Ow," Derrick yelped. Massie gasped. "Oh my gosh I did not know a Jimmy Choo could be used for evil." Massie panicked. "Are you okay?

Derrick laughed. "Of course, it's not like you can die from a bruised knee."

Massie rolled her eyes. "Maybe you can die from having a huge ego."

"No," Derrick said playfully then turned serious. "But, you can die from a broken heart and that may happen to me."

The two got quiet and their eyes were still in one another's. The two stayed in silence and felt their bodies communicating. Massie bit her lip to stop her from coming up with a witty remark.

After a few more minutes Derrick and Massie went they're separate ways to lunch. Massie walked to the Café with the warmth of Derrick's hands in hers. She folded her arms across her chest and walked inside the Café. Massie nearly collapsed when he entered the room. Everyone wasn't in their usual table, emos were with the cheerleaders, science nerds were in the prep table and everyone else was mixed into different groups.

Alicia spotted Massie and walked p to her with a huge smile. She came toward the brunette and held out her arms for a hug.

"What happened?" Was the first thing Massie asked.

"Your speech," Alicia smiled brightly and waved to a girl playing the clarinet. Massie looked at Alicia as if she was crazy. Massie took a step back and Alicia looked at her. "Apparently, everyone actually listened to your speech and Mr. Rockwell has found out about the arguments me and Nina had."

"So?"

"So, Mr. Rockwell said if the girls don't get their act together then they'll make Briarwood into separate buildings separating the girls from the boys" Alicia said. "And that is not optional."

Massie smiled and lowered her voice into a whisper, "Derrick is taking Jennifer to his party tonight."

Alicia's almond eyes widened. "What?"

Massie nodded. Alicia cupped her hand over her perfectly glossed mouth but was careful not to smear the shiny lip gloss. "Well, you sort of asked for it." She said once she dropped her hand.

"But, I did not expect him to actually do it." Massie said shyly.

"You said so yourself he is Briarwood's player." Alicia shrugged.

"I hate him." Massie spat and stomped on her heel.

"You love him." Alicia said with a knowing look.

Massie blushed and covered her cheeks. Alicia waved to someone behind Massie. Massie turned around and was facing Derrick.

"Oh hey Mass." He said casually and Alicia smiled at the two.

"What?" She asked annoyed.

"Are you jealous?" Derrick poked her stomach playfully. Massie smacked his arm.

"Of what?"

"Of my date tonight." Derrick suggested.

Massie rolled her eyes. "You wish."

"I was a fish." Derrick said in a sing song voice.

"It's twelve o'clock don't you have someone else to bother?" Massie folded her arms across her chest.

Derrick just had this playful smile. "Nah, I like you the best." He said and Massie nearly broke into a smile.

But her voice remained emotionless. "Go away before I punch you." She threatened.

Derrick stuffed his hands into his pocket. "I think I can take you Block."

Massie was speechless and she could hear Alicia giggle behind her. Derrick looked at Alicia and they shared a look then Derrick turned to Massie. "How's that secret admirer of yours?"

"Out of commute." Massie shrugged. She kind of had the feeling it was Josh.

"Such a shame," Derrick said, "so I guess I'll see you tonight?"

Before Massie could say anything, Jennifer came swinging her long hair behind her. "Hi!" She chirped and Derrick smiled at her. She linked arms with Derrick and Massie just stared at the two.

Massie sighed it was tie to fight fire with fire.

Yay I updated. Anyway I'm sorry this chapter sucks. I sort of have been in outer space with all this thinking. xD so anyway this story is over in three chapters. A sequel seems unnecessary. And I'm sort of going to make two new stories. Hopefully, I'll have the trailers in before the summer starts.

So I'll stop rambling. Review?

Oh I'll get to personally thanking the people who review this story in the last chapter. :)
