"So," Helena said smirking leaning against a locker while crossing her arms. "What are you and Steve going to do for this Friday? You know, Valentine's day?" Claire rolls her eyes and then went up to her locker and opens it. "I-I'm not sure yet. We haven't talk since last week Tuesday." "Uh why?" "Because he's been busy duh?"

Helena sighs while shaking her head. "Claire. When are you going to open up your eyes and see that something isn't right? I've told you since last week-" Before Helena can finish up her sentence, Claire interrupted Helena by slamming her locker hard. She turns around to face her, "How many times am I going to tell you to stay out of my love life? God Helena…"

The school bell rings and Helena shrug lightly and then head to class with Claire. "Sorry, I was just looking out for you." "Really? It seems like you were just trying to make me have second thoughts about Steve. You know, like he's cheating on me or something." The two girls enter inside Mr. Barry's classroom and went straight to their usual table which was far in the left corner of the classroom that is near the window.

Before Claire took a seat in her chair, she drops her school bag on the floor and head to the classroom shelf that holds tons of text-books. She held four text books and drops it on her table. Sherry quickly lifts her head and began to rub her eyes which were red. "Wow Sherry. Is everything alright?" Claire asks taking a seat. Sherry shook her head and put her arms into the air stretching them. She lets out a small yawn and says, "No. Everything isn't okay alright? My parents kept me up on night listening to their problems!"

"About what?" Helena asks curiously. Before saying anything, Sherry rubs the back of her head. Should I tell them or not? I mean, it is personal and kind of embarrassing. "Oh come on Sherry! We're your best friends! Claire and I always tell you our secrets even when it's embarrassing." Helena said patting Sherry's back.

Sherry just wasn't sure or ready to tell her friends what was going on with her parents. She just was too embarrassed. Well, to her it is. "I'm sorry guys. It's just…I uh…" Sherry glances around the room looking to see if Mr. Barry the history teacher was here. "Sherry?" Helena asks once more. Come on Sherry! You can do this! Think of a way out of this! Trying to think of a way out of this conversation, an idea pops in her mind and she smiled. Sitting up straight in her seat she says, "You know, I totally forgot. Mr. Barry told me to sit another table."

Sherry quickly got up from the table and began to put her belongings inside of her school bag. Claire looks up from her textbook and she narrows her eyes. "With who?" "Jake Muller." The three girls glance at Jake who was sitting by himself in the middle of the classroom. He was fiddling with a piece of paper that was in his hand. Claire looks at Sherry frowning, "Jake? Really? Don't you two hate each other?" "Yeah! Didn't you two had a huge argument last month about holding doors for people?" Helena chuckled and Claire smacks her at her arm. Sherry rolls her eyes, "Exactly, that was last month ago. Beside, boys don't remember things."

"But why I don't understand is why Mr. Barry put you in his table? What's the problem with us?" Sherry froze thinking about another lie. "Uh…he said that Jake's grade for this class is extremely low." Helena and Claire turn to face each other and look back at Sherry. "Sherry, doesn't Jake have like the highest grade in school?" "Can you guys quit asking me questions? Damn, I'll be back at this table tomorrow. It's only for a day!" Sherry quickly picks up her school bag from off the floor and left leaving Helena and Claire speechless.

Before approaching Jake's table, Sherry took a deep breath knowing there was going to be an argument as soon as she sits down. Or even before she sits down! She really wasn't in the mood for that but she would do anything to get away from Helena and Claire playing twenty-one questions with her about what happen to her parents. She slowly went up to his table, drops her school bag on top of the table and sat down in the chair.

Jake took a peek at her and Sherry felt him eyeing her. "What?" She ask taking out her binder from her school bag. He just shook his head as Mr. Barry came inside of the classroom. "Alright class! Everyone please be quiet! I know I'm five minutes late but we still can do work." The class groan and Claire hear the classroom door open. She looks to see who it is and it was the love of her life. The boy who always made her smile, laugh, and confident in everything she does. Steve Burnside. He got on the floor and crawl to his seat. That made Claire giggled.

"What is so funny?" Helena asks looking up from her text-book. Claire ignore Helena's question and kept paying attention to Steve. Helena was a bit upset how Claire ignored her. This wasn't the first time she has done that to her. She's been doing that for two months now and she didn't bother to tell Claire about it because she knew that she would be accused of being jealous. Which she isn't.

Steve finally made it to his seat. "Alright class, turn to chapter twenty-four." Mr. Barry stops writing on the board and turn around to face the class. The first person he notice was Steve who was throwing papers at a girl name Jessica. "Stop it!" She shouted turning around looking at Steve. "Shut the fuck up." Steve says throwing another paper ball at her but this time right at her face.

The whole class laughs including Claire. Jessica got up from her seat and left the classroom. Helena looks at Claire who was pretty much dying of laughter. How can she laugh at that? That is so horrible and mean! Helena tap Claire's shoulder and Claire wipe a tear that was coming out of her eye. "Yeah?" "That wasn't funny." She said giving Claire a mean stare.

"Uh, yes it was. Didn't you see him hit Jessica right at her face! She was so piss off!"

"Claire! Do you hear yourself?"

Claire thought for a moment briefly and shrug softly. "I really don't give a damn actually. I never actually like that bitch Jessica anyways. She would always invite her ass over to my house to get close with my brother Chris."

"So? But she doesn't deserve to get humiliated like that!"

Claire scoffs and then looks around the classroom to see if anyone was listening to their conversation. "Well then Helena. Why don't you and that stupid bitch Jessica be best friends then?"

There was silence between the two girls and Helena began to pack up her things. "Hey, where are you going?" Claire asks confused.

"To get back my old best friend name Claire Redfield. Who didn't put her boyfriend first between her friends."

Claire gasps and got up from her seat. "The fuck are you talking about? Are you trying to say that I put Steve before you guys? If so, then never!"

Helena rolls her eyes while crossing her arms. "Claire, save it! You've already done it!"

"You know what Helena! You're just jealous. You're jealous at the fact that I have a boyfriend and you don't."

"Claire, what you need to put in that small brain of yours is if I was jealous. I would have desperately went to go search for a boyfriend and make it seem like he was better than your boyfriend. So please just stop."

Before Claire can say anything else, Mr. Barry says, "Ms. Harper, Ms. Redfield. Please take a seat."

"Actually Mr. Barry. I think I'm going to have to sit somewhere else."

Helena shot Claire a dirty look and went to the front of the room and sat at Jill's table.

Claire sat back down in her seat thinking about what just happen. What is with Sherry and Helena?

For the rest of the period, Claire focuses on her work and tried not to think about what had happen between her and Helena. Meanwhile, between Sherry and Jake they both have to share a text-book because there weren't enough text-books for all the students in the classroom.

Jake turns the page and Sherry froze. Dropping her pen down on her binder she said, "Jake, can you please turn back the page? I wasn't done copying down notes." Without looking at Sherry he replied, "Well that's too bad." Sherry flips the page back and Jake puts his pencil down.

"Okay, so are you dying to argue with me or?"

"No. I asked you nicely if you can turn back to the page but you told me too bad and wouldn't just flip back the page."

Jake sighs and moves the textbook to Sherry. She looks down at the text-book and looks up at Jake. "W-what are you doing?"

Jake picks up his pencil and begins to write in his notebook. "Just hurry up and copy the damn notes." Sherry raises an eyebrow at him suspiciously.

The school bell rings and Jake quickly throws his notebook and pen inside of his school bag. Sherry got up from her seat and said, "Thank you." To him. For the first time, Jake gave Sherry a smile and left the room.

Sherry stops organizing her things and just stood there thinking about his smile. Her stomach started to hurt. "Dammit. I hope I'm not having butterflies…" she muttered.

As soon as Claire left the classroom, she felt someone grab her by her wrist and push her against a wall kissing her deeply. Claire knew it was Steve because who else would have done that to her?

They both stop kissing each other to gasp for air. "Steve, don't you ever do that again!" She said panting. "We're in the hallway where teachers and students or even the principal can see us!"

Steve chuckled as he walk her to her next class. He put his arm around her and whisper in her ear, "What? You don't want people to know that you're my girl?"

Claire looked at him and nods her head. "Of course I want everyone to know that I'm your girl. I just think it's not appropriate to have a make out session with you in front of people." Steve sighs and rubs the back of his head.

"You know what? Fine." They both stop in front of a classroom and Steve gave Claire a peck on her lips. She bit her lower lip and said goodbye to him.

The school bell rings and Claire enters inside of her second class. As she was walking towards her seat, she accidentally bumps into someone.

"I'm uh sorry." The boy says smiling.

Claire nods her head understanding what the boy had told her. "It's okay."

"Hey Claire and Piers!" Chris shouted from the back of the room, "Come sit over here!"

Claire and Piers looked at each other and then head towards the back of the room where Chris her older brother was.
