Derrick seems to be the only boy that Massie gets nervous around. He is written as having shaggy blonde hair and large brown eyes. He plays goalie for the Briarwood soccer team. He is noted as having many quirks, including wearing shorts all the time, even in winter, wiggling and flashing his butt after scoring a goal and referring to most people, even Massie, by their last names. Massie and Derrick's relationship is foreshadowed in the third book, but it is fully revealed in the fourth one. After Nina Callas convinces Massie that Derrick likes her (Nina) and not Massie, Massie ignores him. After Nina is thrown out of OCD, Massie and Derrick talk and they make up. Massie gives Derrick her "M" brooch, which he continues to wear well into the fifth book. In "The Pretty Committee Strikes Back" Massie, through a series of lies to the other girls she is "tutoring" to kiss, unintentionally leads Derrick to believe that she has been seeing someone else. He confronts her and she apologizes. They kiss and make up once again and it seems as if their relationship is good and well. However, he breaks up with Massie in book 8, because he has an "issue" with her. He later tells her he's into older girls because they're more "mature".

This is because for the key to the secret room (bomb shelter where alpha eight graders hang out) from 8th grade alpha Skye Hamilton, Massie has to get Chris to like Skye. If Massie doesn't hook up Skye with Chris, the PC (Pretty Committee) doesn't get access to the bomb shelter at all, thus destroying their hopes of alpha 8th grade status. In the ninth book, Derrick changes his style, (i.e.: wearing jeans for the first time) but Massie becomes interested in Dempsey Solomon, a once LBR loser beyond repair.

Skye and her group of friends, the DSL Daters (they are all blondes) give clues on the CD to the girls who had received the CD. She liked Chris Abeley, Layne's older brother and begged Massie to help her or Massie would lose the key to the secret room. But, after seeing Dune Baxter, she develops a crush on him.
