8:30 a.m., Monday

BOCD

Front Lawn

Kristen POV

"Kristen! Did you make sure you gave out all of the invites?" asked Dylan, for like the billionth time. Her emerald green eyes fixated on me.

"Yes", I snapped, then continued, "You treat me like I'm below you, like I'm special-ed and you're a freaking genius!"

Dylan widened her eyes; she's probably not used to me snapping at her. Now that Claire's gone, it was just me. If she didn't have me, she would be a loner, and Kemp doesn't like loners.

"I was just making sure, I want this party to be perfect", she whispered, I knew she was sorry because her green eyes lost their shine for a second.

I smirked at no one in particular, victory, Sweet victory. I turned and looked at Chris, he looked heartbroken, strangely, and he still had Olivia hanging on his arm.

I sighed; I could never be Chris's girl. It wouldn't happen.

Ding! I have an idea. I can tell Dylan's secret to Massie, Massie will like me, Chris will like me. TADA!

I looked at Dylan hesitantly; her eyes were fixated on the ground, her Jimmy Choo clad foot was kicking at the freshly manicured grass that covered BOCD's front lawn.

I grinned, now I can have Claire back, have real friends. And maybe, I could have Chris, but I was wishing on this one.

A tinge of guilt shot through me as I saw Massie kissing Kemp, and Dylan watching with sad eyes. Massie and Kemp were just so happy together, like the it couple. Then Dylan Marvil had to ruin it with her slutty ways.

"Did you guys hear? Massie's mad at Josh, Olivia, Alicia, her BESTFRIEND, and Chris, her BROTHER. ", gushed some random girl that came up to us.

Dylan raised an eyebrow, "Oh really".

"Yeah, she's still friends with Derrick and Claire though, I heard it was about a boy, maybe Kemp!" whispered the random girl.

A scowl appeared on Dylan's face, "Okay, now shoo shoo loser!"

The girl glared weakly and scampered off to the main building.

Hum, I wonder what happened... "That was rude Dyl", I stated staring after the girl.

"So? I'm alpha; I could do whatever the hell I want. See ya", snapped Dylan, I knew there was a reason I was going to backstab her, reason number one, she's a major bitch.

Massie POV

"Hey babe!" greeted Kemp as he walked up to me, kissing me on the cheek swiftly.

I grinned, "Hey Kemp".

"And hello to you too!" mumbled Claire, rolling her eyes as she kissed Dempsey once again.

Kemp blushed, "Oh, hey Claire and Solomon". Dempsey nodded in response, Claire just rolled her eyes.

"Hey ladies and gents!" shouted Derrick as he approached us with Chris, Alicia, Olivia, and Josh hot on his heels. I narrowed my eyes, who cares if I was being immature.

I hadn't talked to any of them since the fight on Saturday. They never even trusted me anyway, why should I trust them?

I waved to Derrick as he came to a stop. Alicia, Josh, and Olivia looked hurt that I didn't acknowledge their presence. Chris looked at me, then to the ground in shame.

"So did you guys get the invite?" piped up Claire, breaking the very awkward silence, glancing at all of us.

Everyone nodded. "I wonder why Dylan's inviting all of us", I murmured staring at everyone. I couldn't help but notice the mischievous glint in Kemp's eyes. I shook it off, it was probably nothing special.

The bell had already ringed, so our group broke apart and headed our separate ways. Kemp kissed my cheek and ran off to his first class, throwing a quick, "See you in second period Mass!" over his shoulder.

I felt a familiar hand grab my wrist. I spun around quickly. It was only Chris. I winced at his eyes, they were red and puffy, he had been crying. I quickly yanked my arm away.

"Massie, don't", he pleaded; a frown was etched on his face.

I stood there and stared.

"I'm sorry Mass. I was just overprotective. Sorry. You know how I get. I'm your brother, that's my damn job. I give you and Kemp a chance, I swear!" he quickly whispered.

"Fine, I forgive-", I didn't get to finish, and Chris pulled me into a bone-crushing hug and spun me around.

"I only forgive you bonehead." I mumbled hugging him back. He nodded and grinned.

"Kay, but if he breaks your heart, I'll beat his ass so hard!" he muttered.

I playfully punched him, "Let's skip school yeah?"

He grinned, "Let's do it partner in crime! I hate it when we fight".

"Me too, let's ditch this soap opera".

We happily walked off of school property, and dove into bushes when a car drove by".

By the time we got to the movies, we were covered in twigs, leaves, and mud.

"You look like Rambo!" I teased pulling a stick out of his hair.

"Well you look like Rambo's twin then!" he teased back pulling a couple of leaved out of my hair.

12:00 p.m., Monday

BOCD

Café

Alicia POV

"Where's Chris and Massie?" asked Olivia, her blue eyes full of concern. I shrugged; I had no idea either...

"They ditched school", stated Derrick. Josh, Claire, and Kemp nodded.

"How do you know?" I questioned raising an eyebrow, if they did ditch, wouldn't Chris have texted Olivia, his girlfriend, too?

"Chris texted me and Josh", mumbled Derrick, nodding toward Josh.

"Massie texted me and Kemp", said Claire, pointing to Kemp.

"Oh, does that mean they're friends again?" asked Olivia, hope and hurt evident in her eyes. I patted her hand sympathetically; cause no one texted me either.

"Well I got to go", mumbled Kemp, tossing his lunch away. We all waved and said our goodbyes; after all he didn't know what the fight was about.

"I think you guys all have to apologize", stated Derrick, this isn't all going to just blow over, he's right.

"I don't think she's going to forgive me and Alicia easily, Josh will be fine", muttered Olivia.

"You mean, all I have to do is say sorry, yada yada yada, and then we could be friends again?" asked Josh, his brown eyes widening. I nodded, rolling my eyes at his boyishness.

"Damn, I've got it easy!" he shouted, grinning at his food. I glared at him while Derrick kicked him under the table.

He ducked his head down to avoid getting shunned by us while we solved our dilemma.

"Well when she came to my house, she was extremely pissed, mostly at Alicia though, then it was Olivia, then it was Chris, then Joshie boy over here. So Leesh, you're going to have to try harder than all of us", advised Claire, piping up in the conversation.

I sighed; a part of me hoped that Massie would forgive me on the spot. But deep down, I knew she hated me right now, and we couldn't go back to what we used to be.

Derrick POV

"I wonder what they are doing now Derrick", mumbled Josh as we walked down the hallway to our next class, English.

"Yeah, probably at the movies or something", I replied coolly.

"Did you see Olivia's face when she heard that Chris didn't text her?" chuckled Josh as he rolled his eyes.

I laughed, "Yeah dude, Chris has been saying she's been clingy".

"Yeah, I can just picture her now, hunting Massie and Chris down", joked Josh.

I nodded and grinned, "You're lucky you're off the hook so easily dude".

"I know, but I feel bad for Alicia you know? She just wanted to help and stuff, but Massie took it the wrong way", he rambled.

"I'm so glad we're not girls", I muttered.

"Too much drama", he laughed.

"D, are you just going to give up?" asked Josh, looking at me in concern.

"I don't know Josh, stop acting like a girl, let's talk about sports", I mumbled, not wanting to talk about Massie and Kemp.

Josh nodded awkwardly and looked away.

Olivia POV

I glared at my phone. I can't believe Chris didn't text me, aren't I his girlfriend?

"I don't feel so good", I whispered, clutching my stomach for good measure.

Alicia nodded and gave me a smile.

Claire hesitated, "Uh, okay, feel better Liv".

I nodded and ran out of the school building. Of course I wasn't sick; I just wanted to see what Chris was doing.

I mean, what happens if he's mad at me, like Massie turned him against me. But then again, she would've turned him against Alicia, oh shit! They didn't text her either.

I widened my eyes in horror. I and Chris haven't even been going out for long, now his bitch of a sister is ruining things. Damn, I have to get back on her good side, or maybe a little bit of revenge wouldn't hurt…

I tapped my chin, decisions, decisions.

Claire POV

"Olivia has been acting strange, don't you think?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her retreating figure that was making its way out the doors of BOCD.

"Yeah, I guess. She's just not the Olivia she used to be", mumbled Alicia, she was obviously still out of it, and hurt was evident in her voice.

"I did her Chris saying something about her being too clingy and stuff", added Alicia, scanning the halls for Josh.

"Yeah, Massie told me about that. I just hope she snaps out of it before their relationship crashes", I replied, snuggling into Dempsey's side as he wrapped an arm around.

"Hey bitch! Not even the good kind!" sang Dylan as she approached us. Kristen was nowhere in sight.

"Takes one to know one" replied Alicia, innocently twirling her hair around her finger.

Dylan narrowed her eyes and stated, "Did you losers get the invites?"

"Why yes we did", I spat putting my hands on my hips.

"You're so lucky you're invited", sneered Dylan.

"No, you're lucky that we are considering going!" I snapped.

Dylan shrunk back and rolled her eyes weakly.

"I swear Marvil, you need to calm the hell down, you don't need to torture me with you're presence", I muttered, stalking off with Dempsey and Alicia hot on my heels.

Chris POV

"Oh shit!" shouted Massie.

I jumped up from the swing, "What?"

"You're girlfriend's here", spat Massie. I looked around quickly, not seeing Olivia anywhere. Massie rolled her eyes.

"In the bushes!" she snapped, tilting her head toward a crowd of bushes.

I awkwardly scanned the bushes, until a blonde head popped out, it was Olivia.

"What the hell? Has she been here the whole time?" I shouted, feeling violated.

She shrugged and burst into a fit of laughter.

"What's so funny?" I whined slapping her on the back of the head.

She wiped the tears from your eyes, "You're girlfriend. Is watching you when you're out with you're sister. With binoculars, the whole she-bang. She's a pedo-bear!" she teased and starting clutching her stomach.

I glared at the swings we had just abandoned, it was true.

"Let's go home hoe", I grumbled, grabbing my backpack as I glared at Massie.

"Chris likes a pedo-bear. Chris likes a pedo-bear!" chimed Massie laughing her ass off.

Josh POV

I felt bad about the whole blow up with Massie on Saturday. But I'm thankful that I got the least of it.

I called Massie, to apologize of course. I didn't really want to go out looking for her; she was with Chris, that's their bonding time. Plus, I don't even know where they are to this point.

Alicia was right though, all I had to do was apologize. She accepted it easily. She apologized for blowing up at me; after all she believed Chris and Alicia dragged me into it. Which was partly true, they did convince me into doing it, but I did it for Derrick.

"Hey Alicia", I greeted as I plopped down onto the grass of the front lawn of BOCD.

"Hey Josh, you decided to ditch class too?" she asked picking at an imaginary thread.

I nodded and relaxed against the tree trunk. Seems like a day to ditch.

"Olivia left school too, she was 'sick', she's probably out looking for Chris", she muttered, putting air quotations up when she said sick.

I laughed; Olivia is a clingy chick from what Chris says.

"So, I called Massie", I mumbled, side glancing at her.

"What'd she say?" she asked smiling weakly at me.

"She forgave me; she didn't seem tense at all. I think she'll be back to normal in a couple of days", I replied, picking at my shoe awkwardly. Alicia nodded and turned away.

Anyone could tell she was beyond hurt and weak right now. Part of me was angry at Massie for making her this way. But the rest of me pictured myself in Massie's position; I would be pretty pissed too. So, for now, I couldn't pick any sides.

8:00 p.m., Monday

Block Estate

Front Door

Alicia POV

I knocked on the door weakly, the door I was accustomed too.

"Good god, you'd think these people who sell stuff can give people a break", mumbled William Block as he swung open the door. He quickly flushed once he realized it was me, "Oh hey Alicia! Come on in, I'll get Massie for you", he gave me a quick hug and rushed up the stairs.

Apparently, he doesn't know about our fight. He knocked on Massie's door, "Honey, someone's here for you". He quickly walked away to his study.

Massie flew out of her room with a big grin, and bounced down the stairs. She finally looked up at me.

Her grin faded and was replaced with a scowl, and her usually happy amber eyes, narrowed with anger.

"Hey Mass", I squeaked, waving weakly.

She rolled her eyes, "Do not 'Hey Mass' me. Who the hell do you think you are? Only friends call me Mass". She put extra emphasis on 'friends'. I cringed, and sighed.

"You know I didn't mean it! I was just trying to help. He isn't right for you! I know it, you know it! Get over it Massie, face the facts. I'm right, you're wrong about him. Get it straight. Everybody knows that, everyone but you!" I shouted as I walked toward her.

Her jaw dropped, I never, ever, snapped at her. She stepped back and regained her composure.

"You bitch", she whispered. I winced, those words, the simplicity of them, hurt like hell.

"Mass-", I started, she interrupted.

"Get out", she whispered, pointing toward the open door.

I shook my head fiercely and started toward her again.

She stepped back, "I said get out", her voice rising.

"Massie don't be like that", I replied, smiling weakly in an attempt to make her happy.

"You, Alicia Rivera, have the nerve. To go to my house, talk to my dad like nothing is wrong. And then, yell at me, in my own house, that I don't know what I'm doing with my love life. Hm? That I'm always wrong, and you're always right? Way to put it Rivera, way to put it!" she shouted, jabbing a finger at me.

Well, she makes it sound like I called her a dumb slut! I didn't freaking do it.

"So you could forgive Josh but not me?" I whispered.

She smiled, "Yeah, I can, cause I can tell, that he, was convinced into it, by you and Chris. And Chris is my twin, my own damn blood. So of course".

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.

"Yeah, so leave, next time I want a Spanish version of Jackie Chan, I'll call you. But for now, just leave", she snarled. She didn't give me time to reply. After the last word was said she bounded back up the stairs, into her room, and slammed her door shut. Taking no notice in her dad and Chris staring in horror at what just happened.

I smiled weakly and walked out, shutting the door behind me.

Massie POV

In out, in out, in out. Breathe Massie, just breathe.

I quieted down as I heard my dad's and Chris's hushed voices talking outside my door.

"What the hell just happened between Alicia and Massie?" my dad calmly asked.

"They've been fighting since Saturday dad", replied Chris as he sighed.

"Should I go talk to her? What's wrong?" my dad questioned, now becoming impatient.

"Dad, it's a really long story! You'll just make it awkward" whined Chris, I smiled.

"Go talk to her then, jeesh. You teens and you're drama", complained dad. I listened as his footsteps grew more and more distant, followed by a door closing.

My door swung open to reveal Chris grinning, balancing a pizza and two Dr. Peppers.

I patiently waited as he set down the box and drinks down on my bed, soon after he plopped down beside me.

"So… how goes it?" he asked awkwardly.

"So you saw?" I stated the obvious. He chewed thoughtfully on a slice of pizza.

"Yup. So is this the end of the Rivera and Block duo?"

I shrugged, "I honestly don't know. She's just ticking me off".

He nodded, "Yeah, but Mass, its Alicia, you're going to forgive her anyway".

I sighed, of course he was right. He was Chris freaking Block, my own blood.

"I know, I just don't know when to. But there is going to be rules this time, like standards".

He grinned, "Yes sir! But that's good, what about Olivia?"

I rolled my eyes, "I thought you would never ask. Err, I don't know, but I guess so".

He nodded and smiled.

"You know, as stubborn as you are twin, I could convince you into anything", he chuckled as he pinched my cheek.

Soo... did you like it? I sure hope so! At least five reviews, please and thank you!:D
