This is where the teen rating kicks in! Be careful when reading this!
"You all fought after I had left huh?" asked Massie feeling sadness ripple through her. Alicia couldn't handle it and both of them had knew it. Claire looked down at her feet and picked at the pepperoni on her slice of pizza. James and Cam were talking in the next room about soccer of all things. Well in England they call it football of course.
Both girls were quiet. Massie was didn't touch the pizza that Claire had given her. Both Claire and Cam still had to go grocery shopping and stock up the refrigerator. There wasn't anything that Massie would have eaten anyway. Massie was quiet after Claire told her what she remembered.
Desperately she wanted to tell Massie other stuff too. Like Dylan had a daughter and babies on the way. Kristen had graduated from Brown. Alicia... Well Claire herself was already planning something big for OCD's reunion this fall.
"I'm going to find them all," declared Massie. "We're going to be friends again."
Despite all friends she made in London and basically being on top, she wanted her old friends to be her friends still. They all had slipped away in high school and she wanted to bring the old times back.
"But you're only here for the tonight and tomorrow. You even said you were flying to Asia and Australia," said a confused Claire. Was she getting the details confused?
"Claire I told you already. I'm meeting with some executives through the company that is sponsoring the fashion show. We're going over some details and the line releases in America in mid-August. I'll be back to find each of them and talk some sense into them," said Massie confidently.
At least she hoped she had talked some sense into them. From what Claire told her they had just fought over friend issues with the LBRs. How their lives were going in different directions all over the place. Alicia had made her own clique without consulting any of them…. Dylan was having issues with being on a reality show… Oh this should be easy to do.
"Claire was there anything else I should know?" asked Massie crisply contemplating what her next move should be. There had to be something because any sane person would know to talk sensibly about the whole thing.
Claire had thought for a moment. She had talked to Kristen and her recent issues with a long term boyfriend. In fact Claire had been keeping in contact with Kristen and Dylan. She hadn't heard a peep out of Alicia for a long time. In fact last time Claire had seen Alicia Rivera was graduation day... She could tell something was off about Alicia but something was wrong.
"Well there was an issue between Alicia and the rest of us. I haven't spoken to her since we graduated Augustus Country Day back in '08," admitted Claire. Come to think of it, she hadn't spoken to Alicia since after the fight. She had wanted no part in all the drama. The Pretty Committee reeked of drama half the time when they were popular.
Both girls were quiet while Claire was trying to find the right words. There was clearly a rift between all of them. What was the big deal? They were all adults now well she wasn't too sure on Dylan because she acted like a kid half the time with the burping and what not. Anyway they could all talk rationally.
Claire didn't want to keep talking about this and tell Massie about recent events but Massie was persistent on knowing what happened.
"Senior year of high school things took an interesting turn in terms of… Ahh… Relationships and other stuff. Cam and I were off during the time and well…"
Massie rolled her eyes at this, boys? Again this should be simple.
"Alicia started to date your ex-boyfriend Landon, Mass. Remember Coral McAdams, erm, Strawberry? She came out of the closet and starting hitting on the PC since we didn't have power anymore in high school."
Massie gasped, Strawberry was a lesbian? And gross she hit on her friends! Maybe she and Kori should have gotten together., she had always guessed that Kori was one too. She'd never admit it out loud though. It was surely going to be an interesting reunion come August.
"Alicia kind of went a little nuts when… OliviaRyancommittedsuicidesophomoreyear." Massie grew quiet at this because occasionally Alicia and Olivia were friends. That must have been awful for Alicia. No wonder she had thrown a fit with the PC.
So there were factors beyond Massie's control that lead to her blowing up. Massie was going to find all of them and get it together. Talking to Dylan was going to be no biggie at all, she always followed Massie until the Derrick issue. Alicia was going to be a little tricky of course. Kristen would be a snap...
"Claire I need you to help me find where the girls are. Where Dylan, Alicia, and Kristen are living and phone numbers, no buts or exceptions."
Claire's eyes grew big at the idea of finding all of them again. Of course she knew there phone numbers but not really where they were living. James had come down the stairs with a lopsided grin on his face. It was close to 9 and they had to be at a hotel by now.
"Claire I will see you this August," said Massie hugging her friend. "It's nice to see you after nearly 11 years."
"But Massie there's something you should know!" shouted Claire but the girl was already being pulled away in the rented limo. Wait until she figured out that Dylan had a kid already and Kristen's little issue.
Alight I would like a beta or someone to help me with this story. I have two more chapters to post but after that I'm sort of lost, so if anyone wants to bounce ideas with me would be nice! Don't forget to review because it helps me write more :)
