Summary: What if they never met that Saturday? Fate will still have brought them together.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters in the story the idea is mine and if it looks like something you read or written it is a complete coincidence and I apologize.

This is my first fanfic and it came to me one day as I was wondering what would happen if they had not met that Saturday and I had planned on making it sad but decided against it so it ends happy now.


Claire Standish stood patiently as she waited for her friend to get off the pay phone.

"Well, what happened?" She asked as her friend hung up the phone and stepped away from it.

"Nothing, they said, alright feel better, honestly Claire chill. I can't believe you had me call the school."

"I don't know, I just don't want to get caught."

"Well you won't ok, they think you're sick nothings going to happen. You can be a real dweeb sometimes you know that." Claire watched as her friend started walking back toward the stores in the mall. She would have never had her friend call in and pretend to be her mom, had she known that she was going to do nothing but make her feel bad about it. Claire sighed and rolled her eyes as she followed in suit to meet up with the others.

It was Thursday and she was ditching class to go shopping because her friends wanted her to. She just had this strange feeling that she was going to get caught, so she gathered up the courage to ask her friend to call the school for her. Now, however, she would have to put up with being teased that she was so scared she had to have someone call the school for her, she wanted to die, but instead waited for them to turn their attention to someone else.
