"MASS! Massie wake up!" Claire shouts in my face, shaking me.

I groan, rolling over onto my side. "Claire. Go to sleep. It's too early."

"Massie, it's 12 P.M., but anyways, GET UP!"

I groan again, sitting up, rubbing my eyes. I turn my head toward my iHome and sure enough it says in colour full print 12:01

I sigh, pushing the covers off of me, and going over to Claire who was standing beside my window. She's smiling, and can't pull herself away from the window. I pull aside my white curtain and my eyes widen and my mouth opens. Out front on the yard in pink rose petals is four words.

Massie, take me back?

I keep on reading it over and over again. It had to be Derek. Derek must have snuck onto our property at night and did this.

I quickly pull out my phone, and click on his name.

Massie: Derek, I saw what you did, and I still can't forgive you. I'm sorry, but you cheated, and I need my time.

Claire looks up at me from my phone, looking sad. "Come on Mass! He did all this, just for you! He obvs loves you, and besides, you don't know if that picture is real! It could have been another guy, who looks like Derek!"

"KU-LAIRE! Are you defending him! Because last time I checked, you were my best friend!"

"Whatever Mass, but I still believe you guys are meant to be." Claire mumbles under her breath.

"Yeah right." I reply.

. . . . . . One Week Later. . . . .

Derek and I had decided being friends was the best thing right now. I still was upset about the cheating, and I still sat in my room alone listening to Fallout, but right now, this was the best thing for us. Right?

I hear my phone buzz on my night stand, and I jump to grab it. I see the title Alicia and I pause before I click on it.

Alicia: Look, I know you probably still won't forgive me, but I really miss hanging out with you. Please?

I bite my lip nervously, staring down at the text. Thoughts race through my mind, and I ponder with the pros and cons.

I mean, she was suppose to be my best friend, but was making out, and other things, with my ex. But I did catch Derek cheating, and I had forgiven him... I also missed her a lot.

Massie: Sure. I missed you too (:

I then go to each other PC member and text them the news.

Massie: GR8 NEWS! Alicia is back in the PC!

Claire: YAY! Missed her, and it's time we forgave her.

Dylan: I so saw it coming, but yay!

Kristen: I knew it would happen soon!

"MASSIE! TIME FOR SCHOOL!" Mom yells from the bottom of the stairs, and I happily grab my Vera Bradley bag and walk out of my room, waving goodbye to Bean, and closing my door.

*At School*

We walk up the hill to the maple tree that we met under on hot days like today. It was almost the end of the year, and the heat was rising.

"Hey guys!" Claire says, and Cam gets up hugging her hello and kisses her cheek. My eyes lock with Derek's and he smiles, waving, and I return the smile. This felt so awkward, but I had to make sure that I wasn't showing it. I still liked him, and I was pretty sure he knew, but I also knew he liked me.

I guess we had a thing. We flirted, we hugged, we had our study dates, but we didn't say "I love you" or call each other sweet names. We didn't kiss goodbye. Everyone said we were meant to be, and we would get back together, but we shrugged it off.

"Alicia, your back!" Josh says smiling.

"Yeah, Landon is a dick, I feel sorry for any girl he's wheeling now."

I let out a laugh at that, and quickly cover my mouth.

"It's okay Mass, you can laugh. It's true" Cam says sarcastically, and I smile at him.

"So...everyone have fun at Prom?" Josh asks, changing the subject.

"Yeah!" Dylan says, "I got to dance with so many guys!"

"Same!" Kristen says, and they high five.

"It was okay." I say, my smile fading. Derek just nods.

"Yeah, dancing with Landon, not so fun."

"I had fun!" Claire chimes in.

"That's good.."Josh says, and then the bell rings.

Derek jumps up, taking my arm. "Massie Block, may I have the honor of escorting you to class?"

I laugh at that, then making eye contact with him reply "It would be my honor!"

SHORT! IK! But I told you! Derek don't give up that fast! So anyways, please review!
