An: inspired by Tess, Sydney, Chantal, Dez, Allie, Leesh, Ericka, and Dani. I love you all. And to Dani: I miss you and love you.

-I tried to keep this as canon as possible. The part with Harris is made up so that I could fit Sydney in here.

-I haven't read past Boys R Us, but I've looked up what happened.

Massie Block had always been a dreamer. She never paid attention in class, taking up doodling the names of boys whom she thought she was in love with in the margins of her yellow notebook instead. In seventh grade, she thought she was in love with Cameron Fisher and those blue and green eyes of his. She would take her blue and green glitter pens and write his name in her curly girlish handwriting in the small corners of her notebook. Her dream shattered when Claire Lyons stepped into the picture and took Cam away from her. For a very brief time, she dreamed of being the wife of Harris Fisher, Cam's older brother. He was, after all, the boy with the amazing emerald eyes. She soon fell in love, only to fall out of it quickly afterwards due to the small fact that Derrick Harrington walked into her life. She didn't know that he would walk out of it just as quickly as he came—for her best friend, no less.

In eighth grade, Massie lost her best friends, only to have them back again, along with a new, older boyfriend. To an outsider, the life of Massie Block was like a sort of twisted perfection.

Sometimes Massie Block look her black pug, Bean, with smiles and say, in a strong, firm voice, "wake me up when it's yesterday, Bean. The world was a much better place then." Massie clung to the wonderful dream of being a picture book girl—the ones with yellow raincoats and red balloons who had no worries in the world and everyone envied.

Though she did not show it, Massie really missed her ex-best-friend, Claire Lyons. In fact, she dreamed about having her back. Massie remembered a time when Claire hadn't met Cam Fisher and hadn't fell head-over-heals in love—when she had so much more time for worshipping Massie instead of playing "I-love-you-more" with her boyfriend. She so desperately wished to be friends with Claire again; Massie wished that everything would go back to the place where it all begins—when your best friends still meant more than love.

Massie Block was the worst kind of dreamer in the best kind of way. Though her life wasn't nearly as perfect as it should have been, she still had her fairytale ending: she had a lover and was on her way to finding forever and happily ever after.
