Here's the low down: Claire is 15 and Todd is 16. They're really close. They moved up to Westchester from Georgia when Claire was 13. She does gymnastics and is not sure of her feelings for her older brother's friend. Claire has never wanted anything to do with Massie and her clique and she's friends with Layne. (She's also very buff in a girl way with the same long blonde hair and blue eyes.)
I got this idea after reading Awesomeblossom609's My Brother's Best Friend. It's kind of the same thing but different at the same time. So, thanks for the idea!
THE GYM
2:45 PM
June 20th
Claire took a deep breath and slowly let it out. She chalked her hands then her feet. Just as she was about to mount the balance beam, she heard commotion from the parents section. She rolled her eyes, it was just her brother coming to pick her up. Then she noticed who was with him; Cam Fisher. Her breath caught and she turned back as fast as she could.
"You okay?" Her coach asked her. She swallowed and nodded. She jumped onto the beam and started her routine. Half way through she forgot all about Cam and Todd watching her and she was completely focused. She did her dismount and landed it perfectly. Her coach was ecstatic! She smiled, not believing it. She had been working on that for forever and she could never do it!
"Amazing! Go do strength then warm down and stretch. Then I'll take care of your ankle. Is it feeling okay?" Claire nodded and ran off to do her Ball-Planche Push-up's. After doing 30 of them she did a few laps around the gym to get her heart rate down and stretched. Claire ran up to the parents section to greet Todd. He pulled her into a bear hug and swung her around.
"You did great today." His smile stretched across his face. If anyone knew how hard she had worked on that routine he did. It had been months of spotting her for hours in the back yard as she tried to perfect it.
"I just need to take care of my ankle then we can go." She turned around and headed over to her coach to re-bandage her ankle, which was very badly sprained. Todd glanced at Cam who was standing in the corner.
"Sorry you had to come. I would have left you at home if you asked." But Cam didn't look like her needed an apology at all; he was smiling to himself as he watched Claire talking to a man.
"And miss the chance of seeing you drive for the first time without your mom in the car? Yeah, right." He covered up quickly. They both chuckled and headed for the car.
