Unaware of the events, Derrick and Jennifer were still kissing. Hmm, this doesn't feel the same. Derrick thought and pulled away from Jennifer. He looked at her with his caramel brown eyes and smiled she smiled back.
"So?" She let her voice trail off.
"It's not the same." Derrick shrugged.
Jennifer smiled, "I would've guessed that." Derrick smiled back at her and the two let silence fill between them as they got lost in their own thoughts. Derrick stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked at the stars. "So, what does this mean?"
"You tell me." Jennifer said quietly.
"That I love the very irritating Massie Block," Derrick smiled then it disappeared, "I promised myself I would never fall for her but I guess the promise is broken."
Jennifer laughed, "You're crazy." Derrick laughed with her and the two left the balcony and went down to the party.
"I'm going to my friends." Jennifer said to Derrick. He nodded and she walked off to her fellow cheerleaders. Derrick joined his friends who were huddled into a circle talking.
"Derrick," Alicia said surprised. "What are you doing here? And what did you do to Massie?" everyone's eyes were on him.
"What?" Was all that came out of Derrick's mouth.
"She ran off crying man." Cam said. "What happened?"
"Crying?" Derrick asked confused. "Why?"
"I have no idea." Dylan said. "She just went upstairs and ran down crying."
"Upstairs?" Derrick asked suspiciously and then turned to Josh. "Josh aren't you her date?"
"Yeah," Josh said looking around to all his friends.
"So what happened?" Derrick asked and tried to turn the accusations on him.
"Yeah Josh." Kemp put his inspector voice on. Derrick tried to hold down a laugh Kemp was weird.
"Nothing she just went upstairs and got all pissed." Josh explained.
"Aren't you like her boyfriend to be?" Derrick tried not to sound hurt when he said it.
"No," Josh shrugged.
"What do you mean?" Kristen asked.
"Well guys I don't know how long I can keep up this act but Massie and I aren't even dating." Josh said shyly.
"What do you mean?" Everyone asked in unison.
"Massie asked me to be her fake date because well she wanted to make Derrick jealous." He said plainly. The music got louder and everyone got quiet. A moment later, Derrick started laughing and everyone stared at him like he was crazy.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Alicia asked.
Derrick stopped at once. "It's just Massie is amusing me."
"Dude, you got her all pissed." Plovert pointed out.
"Are you sure it was me?" Derrick asked and everyone nodded.
"We all know how you two can get on each other's nerves." Cam smiled.
"What were you doing?" Dylan asked.
"Well, I went up to the balcony and I kissed Jennifer." Derrick said simply then his eyes widened.
"What? Why?" Alicia squealed.
"Because I wanted to find out if Massie was the one." Derrick defended himself.
"How is kissing Jennifer going to help?" Kristen asked and Derrick shrugged.
"I just wanted to see if I can kiss a girl like how I kissed Massie." Derrick shrugged.
"With your tongue in her mouth?" Dylan rolled her eyes.
"You guys understand right?" Derrick asked Cam and Alicia. The two nodded then Josh spoke up. "dude, I would never come between you and Massie."
Derrick looked at him then gave a nod. "No worries, man."
"Besides, Mass loves you." Josh said quietly.
"Let's go to Massie's house." Kemp suggested and everyone nodded.
"You can just leave?" Kristen asked as they made it to Derrick's car.
"It's not like it's a fancy formal dinner party." Derrick shrugged and they all headed for the Block's mansion.
When they finally arrived they made it inside. Massie was in her pajamas and Derrick thought she looked adorable. She turned to look at everyone and she just got up from the leather couch she was on and headed for upstairs not saying a word.
Derrick sighed it was going to take more than Derrick's charm and good looks to win Massie back.

Massie Block was a destroyed heartbroken soul. She ran straight home and collapsed onto her bed. She buried her head into a pillow and let the hot tears stream down her face. How could Derrick break her heart? Why did she think she was stronger than this? Massie let the questions run through her head as she suffocated herself with a plush pillow.
Massie threw the pillow onto the ground and breathed heavily. She stared at her night stand and noticed the black ipod. The one she found a month ago. Massie sat up and held it in her palm; she wiped her overflowing tears and closed her eyes. She held the ipod in her hand and kept her eyes shut wishing the pain would just go away. She sighed with disappointment when she was still hurting.
Massie looked down at her hands and cried hard, the hardest she's ever. So, hard that she couldn't even stop to catch a breath.
"I hate you." She said grimly to herself and fell back on her bed. Her door opened and Alicia came in.
"Massie," She said in a soft soothing voice.
Massie stared at her ceiling. "Hey,"
Alicia walked up to the bed and sat by Massie's feet. "You okay?"
"No," Massie said emotionlessly.
"I know you're sad." Alicia said sympathetically.
"I hate him." Massie said coldly.
"Mass, you challenged him to this." Alicia said, "You would've expected this."
"Yeah and I didn't expect it to hurt so much." Massie said and a tear rolled down her face.
This seems odd for the second to last chapter but yeah this was it. :]
And the final chapter is next and it will make up for all the stuff that happened between Massie and Derrick.
