Thanks for all the amazing reviews!
Here's another chapter, because I
"Come on James, pick up!" Massie was calling her friend to come over.
"Hello?" It was James.
"Hey babe," Massie disguised her voice, "It's Katrina. You wanna come over to my place?"
"Umm..." The line went dead. Massie laughed, then called back.
"Ha, ha, Mass, I knew it was you."
"How?"
"Your caller ID is recognizable!"
"Anyway, do you want to come over?"
"Sure. When?
"Can you come at six?"
I'll come at six-thirty. My sister has some school play that ends at six. Bye."
Massie and James's parents were family friends, so it was okay for him to pop in and out. This gave her an advantage over other girls. She went to the corner of her room, and started to pack. When she finally had lifted the heavy suitcase, she groaned, and tried to lift her sore arms.
She flopped onto her bed, and took a well deserved nap.
ooOOooOOoo
James was on the couch, playing Super Mario Bros, on the Wii. He was a master at the game, and even though her was in highschool, he still played it. Massie, on the other hand, hated it. Even if she had loved it, she had more important things on her mind. Cam broke up with Claire for Layne?
"He should be in a mental hospital!" she said out loud.
"What?" asked James. Massie laughed.
"I just found out that my friend, the one in the mental hospital's boyfriend, broke up with her for an LBR at my school."
"Well, she's in a mental hospital, Mass! I wouldn't want to date you if you were in one!" Massie's heart almost exploded with excitement. James realized what her had said, and grinned at her.
"So you would date me otherwise?" asked Massie, trying not to take things too fast. James flashed another grin at her, so she walked towards him.
"Yep." he answered, and at that moment, that magical moment, they both leaned in and kissed each other. Normally the first kiss was awkward, but this was the exact opposite. It felt as if they had kissed before, as if they had known each other for years. At last, they pulled apart, both smiling. James reached to a side table and grabbed a purple magic marker.
"So, I guess this means we're dating?" she asked, happily.
"Officially." replied James. He leaned in again uncapping the marker.
"What are you doing?"
"Just wait." He placed the tip of the marker on her forehead, and wrote something.
"Look in the mirror."
She couldn't make it out backwards.
"James's Girlfriend." he whispered in her ear. Smiling, she uncapped the marker and wrote, Massie's Boyfriend, on his forehead. All thoughts of Claire were forgotten.
ooOOooOOoo
"Massie! Time to leave for the airport!" yelled Kendra. Massie hugged Emmy and Jaine goodbye. Each of them gave her a present, which she promised to open on the long plane ride to JFK. Then, she walked out of her front door, meeting James by the car. Emmy and Jaine hadn't been surprised when the heard the news, saying it had only been a matter of time.
"Ready?" asked her boyfriend.
"Ready." she said, and squeezed his hand.
Kendra got in the car with them. She was also going back to Westchester with them. William would have gone, but he had pressing business in London. He was waving goodbye, with Emmy and Jaine. The driver started up the car. Massie Block was leaving her new life, and going back to the drama of her old one.
ooOOooOOoo
Sick wouldn't describe how Massie felt on the plane. She was very, very, sick. Thinking about being over an ocean made her even more sick. Kendra smiled at her.
"Aren't you just so excited?" she asked. Massie's only response was to turn green. She had been on many flights, and they all made her sick. When she got her own private jet, she wanted to fix that. James was sitting in the seat in front of her, and he asked her to play scrabble with him, on their seats personal TV's. Sick, and board to death, Massie agreed. She lost. She lost again. And again. And again. And again. And again. Then James fell asleep. Massie couldn't, and there was nothing else to do, so she played against the computer. She lost. She lost again. And again. And again. Then it was a tie. Then she lost again. Then a tie. Light streamed through the windows, everyone was just starting to wake up. Massie was addicted. She lost again. It was a tie. A tie.
"Attention ladies and gentlemen, we will be arriving at John F. Kennedy International airport in about ten minutes. Please put your seat belts on, and your tray tables up."
Massie didn't stop. A tie. She lost. A tie. A tie. A tie. She won! She won again! And again! And was almost going to win again, when the screen shut off. They had arrived.
ooOOooOOoo
Customs and Immigration had been long and boring. But, finally Massie, James, and Kendra got into a car that was going to take them to the Lyons's house, where they would stay. Claire wouldn't be there though, for obvious Lyons's had let James stay with them too, and he would share a room with Todd. Massie laughed.
"What's so funny?" Todd's new roommate asked.
"You."
He rolled his eyes, playfully. James was really the perfect boyfriend. He was caring, funny, and he would never cheat. The last one she didn't know for sure, but it was assumable. After all, James wasn't only her boyfriend, he was also her family friend.
Massie's phone rang, and she searched through her vintage chloƩ bag. It was on it's last ring when she finally picked it up. So, she didn't care it said, Unknown Caller.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Massie, this is Claire. I know you're probably weirded out by me and where I am. I'm calling from the hospital's phone." Claire sounded like she had been crying.
"Claire? What's happening to you?"
"The PC ditched me, Mass! I made a mistake, and they ditched me!"
"What? They ditched you? What? When? Why?" she couldn't believe it! Had the PC only kept Claire in, because she was their alpha's friend?
"They ditched me after the party, but I think it was just an excuse. Alicia had been acting really b*tchy to me, after you left, and she's made me a social outcast. You should see some of the text's I've gotten!"
"What text's?"
"One from Layne said-" Massie's phone turned off.
"We're here!" Kendra said, cheerfully. Sighing, Massie got out of the car, to greet Jay and Judi.
"How's Claire?" Kendra asked. The Lyons's smiled, but didn't say anything. They looked sad. Normally Massie would try and find out more about it, but she was too tired. The moment she got to Claire's room, she fell asleep.
