Don't expect me to be girly
"Oh my god I'm going to the jonas brothers concert!!" screamed Ally in Claire's face, who weakly smiled at her jonas brothers fanatic friend. Ally stopped her screaming, once she noticed the fake smile propped on her friend's face.
"You should go too...the tickets are like only a hundred dollars each person, that's not a lot"
Claire waved her hand to pass the conversation about money away. She was always reluctant to discuss things involving money. St. Patrick's girls private high school was filled with many rich kids, who were spoiled to the very brim. Everyone used money as if it were water, they all thought that they were the same, rich. What they did not know though was that everyday in the corner of the classroom sat a girl with a big secret, a girl who could not fit in no matter how much she tried, that girl was Claire.
Her mother had used up all of their saved money to send Claire to a decent boarding high school, hoping that her daughter would not be made fun of in society. Even without being in a private school, Claire came from a poor family. Her single mother worked all day, only to come back at one in the morning.
Ally shook her hand in front of Claire's face to get her out of the day dreaming state. Claire smiled as she tried to make the guilty expression from her friend's face dissapear.
"Don't worry, I have more important things to worry about then a silly concert, I have calculus to finish up, not to mention the books I must return to the library."
Ally punched Claire's arm lightly as the smile reappeared.
"You are such a book worm Claire!" she murmured.
Claire shrugged, it was almost time for them to return to the school building, for the last period, afterwards they would return to their dorms. Normal routine, thanksgiving was coming close, and Claire could not wait to see her parents again, well her mom and her brother.
She had no clue just who the "jonas brothers" were, but she just felt a ping of sadness because in her whole life she had only been to a concert once, and that was when her father was alive. Now it was entirely different though, the concert was at the lake shore beach, sounded ideal to her, but hundred dollars for one person? Pfft, who cared about stupid little concerts!
The bell soon rung and Claire headed into fifth period, math, she was known as a bit of an innocent nerd. They called her soft for unknown reasons. After math was over, Kasandra and her group of snobbish girls headed out of class, bragging about the front row seats to the concert and their new pearl necklaces, Claire rolled her eyes for the millionth time that day. Deep inside she adored Kasandra, her perfect body, filled just in the right places to show of her beautiful curves, long blond hair that was always perfectly even and went right down her back, her sparkling blue eyes that never failed to attract boys no matter what the situation was.
Claire on the other hand, had wavy black hair that went down her back, and chocolate brown eyes, she was tall with the average weight, and except for her dimples she didn't think that their was anything special about her. She pondered all day about the concert, just what was so special about these jonas brothers? Every girl seemed to be talking about the concert that was drawing closer and closer.
Finally the day of the concert arrived and Claire stood in the front door as she bid goodbye to her only sensible friend Ally.
"Are you sure you...like don't want to buy tickets?" she asked, and Claire shook her head slowly knowing that it was not possible anyways, after Ally left, Claire went up to her soon and slumped on her bed, she was wearing a brown sweater along with green cargo's and her long wavy hair was as usual tied back with a hair band. A ping of sadness touched her yet again but she ignored it as she began to sing her favorite song.
Do you believe in magic? And it's magic I'll tell ya about the magic
In a young girls heart
How the music can free her
whenever it starts
if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old time movie
It'll free your soul
but it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock n roll
Her secret passion for singing was a secret that no one knew about, and she usually sang alone at the lake shore beach whenever she visited it, it was certainly not today considering a concert was going on, but tomorrow, she would go and sing while enjoying the view of the waves. Dreaming about the future Claire lulled herself to sleep.

The crowd roared, fan girls cheered, the manager paced around nervously, the jonas brothers stood annoyed.
"It's going to be fine Jerry!" said Kevin, comforting his manager over and over again, their were two minutes until the show begin and while the manager should have been the one comforting them, they were the ones comforting the manager!
"We have been through this like what a million times?" asked nick annoyed at his managers usual nervous behaviour.
"Let's just get this over with, and have a fun time, you ready to rock guys?" asked joe excited as usual, Kevin and Nick smiled as they nodded.
The brothers went up on stage, sang, shook hands and soon the concert was over, when they were sure that all the crazy people had left, the brothers took their guitar and headed out onto the beach, laughing at the crazy songs they made up. Finally they decided to hit the sack, Nick and Kevin got up and begin to leave when they noticed that their brother was not following.
"You coming Joe?" asked Kevin.
"Yeah, just going to stay here a while..." he replied.
"Alright but remember to bring the guitar back alright?" he reminded his brother. Joe merely nodded lost in the waves of the ocean...

"What the hell?" murmured joe, following the angelic voice coming from the beach.
"I lost the freaking guitar!"
"I'm...Claire, mind me but just who are you?"
"I'm going to be a what?!"
