Chapter 1 Lost
Narrator POV
Claire had always been the smartest at all of her schools. She always had a 4.0 and was on the honor role. She had all A.P. classes and took collage courses over the summer. She continuously got early acceptance letters from the best collages around, but she wasn't allowed to go and didn't want to. She wanted to spend her high school years in high school. But surprisingly, she was one of the most popular people at her high school. Even though she was a sophomore.
Claire would go on three or four dates a week, depending on her current boyfriend situation. But she just couldn't say no.
She'd go out with jocks, nerds( she calls them extraordinary people, or e p), or jocks. And the jocks and jerks took advantage of her. But she'd go along with it because it just made her more popular. Until she got the news. The terrible news. The news no teenage girl wants to hear.
She was pregnant.
One stupid jock, although she could have done anything to stop it from happening, messed up her life.
And worst was, when he got the news, he flipped out and wanted no part of it's life or hers.
When word got around the ever so gossiping school, she became an outcast. No one talked to her. No one cried with her.
As if her life couldn't get worse, her parents had to send her off to some collage in the middle of no where. Of course, she and her mom went to get an abortion because they both felt she wasn't ready to bring someone into the world.
After some of the most painful times of her life, she got sent to Texas Prairie University. Or better known as TPEwwwww.
At least no one will no who I am. She thought. I can start over. Be free of guys and temptation. Drown myself in my studies and surface only for food. Yeah, that could work.
Claire's POV
When me and my parents finally arrived in Morganville, Texas, I was so bored out of my mind I actually thought staying at home would have been better. I think my nerves were getting to me by then. I was soooo anxious to see me new home and dorm room.
My parents insistened on driving around town before going to the University. And I didn't put up much of a fight. When we moved my stuff into my room, they'd have to leave, and I dreaded saying good bye.
"Oh, look. there's thrift stores everywhere. And a coffee shop, Common Grounds, what a cute name." My mom was always in a perky mood no matter the situation. Except that one time. The only time I've seen my mom angry. When I told her I was pregnant. I shivered at the mere thought of it.
"Yeah, we should check it out before you go." I could barely get the words out before my mom said, "Sure."
When they have roamed around to their hearts content, we went back to Common Grounds.
There were tables crowded with people talking and cramming for tests or people just drinking coffee. We ordered our coffee and this extremely goth girl gave them to us.
"Hey, I've never seen you around before. You new?" She asked this casually, but there was a hidden meaning I couldn't tell what about.
"Yeah, I'm a new student at TPU. Just got here today." I answered back taking a sip of my coffee.
"You seem a little young." She replied after giving someone else their order.
"I'm here for early admission." Taking another sip of coffee. Man this is good.
"Why didn't you wait for the beginning of the semester? Isn't it hard to start in the middle of the term?"
I didn't want anyone to know about my past and the first person I talk to was already questioning me? I don't know how I'm going to keep it a secret.
"My name's Claire Danvers by the way." Avoiding is how I'll keep it a secret.
"Problems back home. I can relate. My name's Eve. Eve Rosser. Nice to meet you." She said with a smile, then walked away with a wave.
"That was a very particular girl, that was." My mom said when I joined them at a table. And I then realized, my dad hadn't said anything for some time now.
"She was nice." I countered.
"O.K." was all she said.
"We better get going. Your mom and I have a very long drive ahead of us. We'll drop you off at your dorm, then we'll go." My dad had finally spoken, and now he was going to leave.
Eve's POV
"Shane, wake up! It's your turn for dinner and I don't smell any chili. DUDE! Get up!" I yelled through the house dropping my keys and bag by the front door walking into the family room seeing Shane playing some zombie game.
"Shoot." Shane stood up and grabbed the phone. "Pizza ok?"
"Yeah ok. whatever." I said shaking my head and walking into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
"Anything interesting happen at work today?" Shane asked once he ordered the pizza and started his game again.
"There's a new girl at TPU. She's nice and clueless about this town."
"Is she hot?" Shane asked with interest in his voice but his face didn't turn from the T.V.
"Don't even think about it."
"What you got dibs. I always knew there was something different about you." he said finally turning from the T.V. smiling.
"No she's like, 16. You'd go to jail. And she's not your type anyway." I spat back at him punching him in the arm.
"She's 16? Wow that is young. Why'd she come here anyway. If she can get early admission, why come to this dump?"
"There was a problem in her home town. I don't know what and I don't think she's going to tell us since she wanted to get away from it." I said. Now I really wanted to know what was going on with her. I hope she comes back.
"Hey. What's on your mind?" Michael was walking down the stairs looking at me. I tried to stop the worrying look on my face, but it didn't work very well.
"There's a new girl at TPU and Eve's worried about her." Shane answered not caring that the question was for me.
"Why are you worried she's on the campus. She'll be fine." Michael said.
"I'm just wondering what happened to her. Don't get that." The phone started to ring and I didn't want anyone to get it.
"Why not?"
"Because we're talking. I just have a feeling that something's going to happen. And not in the good way." I don't know why but I have a really bad feeling. It's so weird.
"So when's dinner? Shane, what are we having? You didn't forget did you?" He asked.
"Of course he did. We're having pizza. It should be here any minute." The doorbell rang at that moment. "I think I'm psychic."
When I go to the door I expect the pizza guy to stand there but when I looked up, I saw a messed up kid. Then she moved her hair out of her face.
Soooo, what did you think. I know it's kind of boring, but if I get good reviews, I might even put the next chapter up. Or maybe not. *insert evil laugh here*
Please review. I want to know what you think. I really do! Really, I'm not lying!
For my BEST FRIEND, Alyssa. You're the adventure in my life. If I didn't have you, which I didn't for a while, I'd be empty.
