This is my second fanfic so tell me what you think…
Claire's blonde hair whipped her face as she ran through Octavian Country Day School, her books and folders nearly slipping from her hands.
"Crap I'm late" she muttered to herself as she dashed along the empty halls, her footsteps echoing off the walls. Finally, she arrived to her first class of the day, history. As silently as she could, she pulled the door open. She walked in to the classroom as twenty faces turned her way.
"Well thank you for joining us Claire," Mr. Smith said sternly.
"Um…." She stuttered, "I'm sorry…" she said, trying desperately to think up a believable excuse for her lateness. She quickly walked to her desk, feeling her teacher's penetrating stare at her back. She sank down into her desk, letting out a sigh of relief as the Mr. Smith continued his lecture about the United States government. Claire doodled hearts and swirls page she was supposed to be taking notes on.
Finally the bell rang, signaling the end of the period, pulling her out of her daydream. She gathered her books and dashed out of the classroom.
"Thank god" she murmured as she dashed through the halls, eager to meet up with Massie, Alicia, and Dylan at the café and be on time for her next class.
After stopping at her locker, she arrived at the café three minutes earlier than they had agreed, and leaned against the wall, looking at all the different people and waiting patiently for them to come. All of a sudden, she heard a shout and turned her head, to find her other BFF, Layne Abeley running towards her.
"Oh my gawd hey!" Layne shouted as she arrived at Claire's side.
"Hey, haven't seen you in a while" Claire responded with a smile.
"I know, it seriously sucks how we have no classes together," Layne pouted
"We seriously gotta get together sometime!" Layne suddenly suggested eagerly.
"Yeah that's sounds kewl…" Claire said hesitatingly.
"Well I'm meeting Massie and everyone here, so you better go." Claire said, looking about distractedly, knowing how much Layne disapproved of her newfound BFF's, because not only were they the most popular (and not to mention rich) girls in the school, but they were always on Layne's case about her style, about her different colored nails, and crazy clashing clothing ideas.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Layne agreed, and she rushed off without saying goodbye.
Oh well, Claire thought to her self as she watched Layne's brunette head bob into the crowded hallway.
They should be here any minute…she assured herself as she scanned the crowd.
She'll be back…I hope she thought as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other, while checking her watch.
...but if they don't come soon…I'm gonna have to leave…what's taking them so looong?
The end of the school day…
"Ohmygawd…Claire I am so sorry!" Massie gasped as she ran up to Claire, who was at her locker, her hand feeling around on the top shelf.
"I totally forgot we were going to meet at the café!" She said apologetically.
"Oh, its finee Massie, it's totally alright," Claire laughed, as she pulled a mechanical pencil from her locker, happy that Massie hadn't completely ditched her.
"Well we better get going, Isaac is waiting in the limo for us, I think Alicia, Dylan and Kristin are already there, cuz' they weren't at their lockers…."
"Mmkay…I'm coming…" Claire said as she heaved her heavy gray backpack onto her shoulder.
In the Limo…
"Ehmygawd…Massie where have you been?" Alicia exclaimed as Massie and Claire jumped into the car.
"You guys….we forgot to meet Claire at the café this morning…." Massie murmured in a quiet tone as she slid across the gray leather seats to Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen.
"Ehmygawd…." They all whispered back in guilt.
Meanwhile, Claire was checking her cell phone for messages. As she dialed up her message machine, she glanced over at Massie. She was whispering silently to the other three girls in a tight huddle in the corner of the limo. She snapped her phone shut, and slid further across the seat. Silently, she lowered her head until it was almost resting between their shoulders, and whispered, "Boo!"
All the girls screamed, making Isaac jump and slam on the brakes.
"DON'T DO THAT!" Isaac shouted from the front seat. Massie, Alicia, Dylan, Kristin, and Claire cracked up, clutching their stomachs in laughter, slipping off the soft seats onto the carpeted floor with tears streaming down their faces.
"O-M-G never do that again…you scared that crap outta me!" Massie gasped as she slid her butt back onto the seat.
As the rest of the girls bounced back onto the seats, Claire got back down to what she had originally wanted to say.
"So…uh…what were you guys talking about…was it about me?"
Massie, Alicia, Dylan and Kristin exchanged a glance, but Claire wasn't fooled.
"Seriously guys…..what were you saying? Claire said, sliding back towards the other side of the limo.
"Uh.." Massie stuttered nervously…
