Massie Block sat down on the first class plane ticket back to her hometown of Westchester, New York. She was finally moving back there, after spending about three years in England. She was now seventeen and was going to spend her senior year of high school at the school she use to attend, Octavian Country Day. She loved living in England, but really missed her friends in Westchester. She'd seen them a few times these past few years, but now she just wanted to go home.
Leaving England was hard of course, she had to say goodbye to her boyfriend of three years, James. It broke her heart and his. But she knew if it was meant to be, they'd find each other again. She had to say goodbye to her family too, but at seventeen she could handle herself on her own. Well, not technically on her own, she'd be living with her old friend, Claire Lyons at her house, but she'd be far away from her parents.
Claire use to live in Massie's guesthouse, until her family finally found a house of their own. At first Massie didn't take to Claire, but eventually the two became very good friends. She was sad when Claire moved out, but knew it was for the best. She'd hadn't seen any of her friends for almost a year. She was very excited to go back to Westchester and show everyone that Massie Block was back and more fabulous than ever.
"Ehmagawd," Massie sighed. She had a long flight ahead of her and just wanted to sleep. She tied her long, chestnut colored hair into a ponytail and put a sleep mask over her eyes. As she started too drifted off, she hoped her black pug, Bean was okay. She was in the back of the plane with other animals, and Massie felt bad she couldn't ride with her. Who did these plane people think they were anyways, shoving all those poor animals in the back of the plane?
Twirling the purple hair streak in her hair (it helped relax her) Massie fell asleep.
When she finally got off the plane, what seemed like an eternity later, she met her family's old driver, Isaac, at the front of the airport, "Massie!" He cried when he saw her. "How are you?" He welcomed her into a hug.
Massie welcomed it. "Gawd, Issac," she said. "I've missed New York."
"I know, Massie," he said. "I brought a surprise for you. It's in the Range Rover." He opened the car's door from Massie and she stepped inside, a cloud of Chanel No. 5 surrounding her.
"EHMAGAAAAAWD!" She screamed. She couldn't believe it. Inside the car were her old friends, Alicia Rivera, Dylan Marvil, Kristen Gregory, and Claire Lyons.
"MASSIE!" The girls screamed in unison. Massie slid in the car and welcomed hugs from all her friends. Alicia stilled smelled like Angel perfume, Kristin like Clinique Happy, Dylan smelled like something Massie didn't recognize, and Claire smelled like drug store body spray.
Some thing never change.
"Massie!" Alicia yelled. "I've missed you so much!"
"Yeah right," Massie joked. "You've always wanted to rule the Pretty Committee, and with me gone you finally got your chance."
Alicia's face fell.
"Ehmagawd, I was totally kidding," Massie said. "I swear."
Dylan pulled a chocolate Luna bar out of her purse. "Gawd, this is going to make me even fatter then I already am."
"Dylan," Massie said. "You are not fat. I still can't believe you're still obsessing over it."
Dylan blushed as she shoved the bar in her mouth.
Kristen turned to Massie, her long dirty blonde ponytail smacking Alicia's face. "Guess what?" She asked.
Massie blinked at her. "What?"
"NYSWC might give me a college scholarship!"
"Really?" Massie said excitedly. "That's ah-mazing. Wait, what's NYSWC?"
"Um, it's the New York State Women's College?" Kristen said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh, yeah right." Massie looked over to Claire. For the first time since she got in the car she was able to give Claire a good look. She couldn't believe it, Claire was now a blonde bombshell. Her long blonde hair flowed down her back, her eyes were sexy and smoky, and her bangs fit her face perfectly. Her legs were long and sexy too. Massie's mouth dropped open. What happened to the girl who dressed like she was a cast member of Barney and Friends?"
"Kuh-laire?" Massie snapped. "Aren't you going to talk to me?"
"I hugged you," Clare said quietly.
"Yeah, but we haven't talked."
Claire shrugged. "Okay. How are you?"
Massie laughed. "I'm good. How are you and Cam?"
"We broke up a few months ago."
"What?" Massie asked. "What happened?"
Claire shrugged. "He cheated on me."
"With who?"
"Olivia Ryan," Alicia said.
"Ehmagawd, I'm so sorry. I always knew she was a slut." Massie thought back to the beginning of the eighth grade when Cam dated Olivia to make Claire jealous.
"It's cool," Claire blew a bubble with the bubble gum she was chewing. I'm over it."
Massie pouted. "He was a jerk. You didn't need a douche bag like that anyways."
"Yeah!" Alicia jumped up in her seat, her C-cups jiggling. "Me and Josh have been on and off for almost two years now, but I'm trying to keep it off. It's just too much work."
"I broke up with James," Massie blurted out.
"Why?" Kristen asked.
"I didn't want to do the long distance thing."
"Totally agreeable," Dylan took a bite out of the green apple she was now eating.
Suddenly, there was a gun shot in the air. Isaac's head was shot and blood splattered everywhere. The car crashed into a tree. The girls were all screaming hysterically. Then, a masked person wearing a hockey mask came up to the car and shot the window, barely missing Massie and her friends.
The masked killer then threw a piece of folded paper into the car and ran. With shaking fingers, Massie picked up the note.
"What does it say?" Alicia asked in a shaking voice.
Massie's voice trembled as she read, trying not to glance at her dead driver. "You bitches made my life miserable. Now I want revenge. One by one you little whores will go down, and there's nothing you can do."
The girls started screaming. "We need to get out of this car!" Dylan shouted. One by one, the girls got out of the mangled car.
"Look," Kristen said. "There's a sticky note on Isaac's head."
Alicia looked at Isaac's dead head and threw up, tears streaming down her face. Massie walked over and read the note aloud. "If you bitches tell anyone about this, you'll regret it."
"So we can't tell anyone?" Dylan cried out.
Massie nodded, her whole body going numb.
"Wait," Kristen shouted out. "Where's Claire?"
Massie looked in the windows of the car, screaming. She fell onto the ground in tears. Claire was in the car, lying in a pool of blood, unconscious.
"Call 911!" Alicia shouted.
"What do we say?" Dylan asked, remembering the note.
"That we got into a car accident!"
Dylan made the call. Alicia and Kristen cried. And Massie cried and screamed on the ground, more terrified then she'd ever been in her life. Who could be doing this to them? Yeah, she'd been mean to people, but not mean enough for her and her friends to be brutally murdered. She vowed to find this person, no matter what it took. She was Massie Block and no one fucked with her and friends.
This homicidal bitch was going down.
