SECOND FANFIC! WILL BE UPLOADING ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK! REVIEW LIKE CRAZY! DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS THE AMAZING RACHAEL CAINE DOES!
Claire's POV:
"NO! I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that." I never saw the punch coming. Didn't even feel the impact, except a blank sensation and confusion, but then the weight of my backpack on my shoulder was pulling me to one and I staggered. I almost caught myself until Gina spitefully pushed me backwards down the stairs. I hit the bottom of the stairs with a thud.
"I CAN'T STAY HERE!" Claire screamed remembering what had previously happened. She never knew Morganville had changed so much since she left but she should have seen it coming. She quickly grabbed a newspaper scanning through all the ads. One was an old man looking for a roommate, which Claire thought was a little creepy and another was 3 teenagers searching for a fourth house mate. The advert read:
THREE ROOMMATES SEEKING FOURTH, huge old house, privacy assured, reasonable rent and utilities.
She dialled the number feeling a bit anxious.
"Hello this is Eve Rosser" Why was that name so familiar?
"Um... hi I'm Claire Danvers. I wanted to ask you about the room."
"Yes sure! We've been hoping someone would ask especially a girl!"
"So can I come over now?"
"Of course you can. You would really like Shane and Michael, they are really friendly."
"Thank you so much!"
As fast as she could, Claire packed a few belongings together and stuffed them in her backpack. Finally, she was getting out of this hell-hole.
Eve's POV
Oh my God was I hearing this correctly. Claire Danvers was back. We were in the same class, being the best of friends, she was always smarter than everyone else that was why she skipped a few grades.
"Who was on the phone" Shane asked curiously. I couldn't tell Shane, he always used to pick on her but there was something about her that he liked but never admitted it.
"Um"
"Just tell me!"
"Claire! She's back!"
Shanes POV
What?! I can't believe Claire's back. It would give me a chance to make things right with her. I used to always pick on her when I was young, I used to go out with every girl I got my hands on just to make her jealous, but it seemed like she didn't even care. She went out with this douche called Ian. I really did like her but I never wanted to admit it to her and picking on her was my only option to get closer to her. I know it is stupid but I was then. However, after she left my mum and sister died. I felt so alone, I didn't want my dad's comfort, I didn't want Michael's or Eve's either. I wanted Claire's. God, I hope Michael will let her stay. I was interrupted from my train of thought when I heard a knock on the door.
"SHANE, GET THE DOOR! IT'S PROBABLY CLAIRE!" God she was so annoying. It was probably that time of the month again.
I opened the door to a new Claire. She was a bit taller, her curly blonde hair was now straight and she was just fabulous- even better than I expected.
"Hey, I'm here for the room" She said with an awkward wave.
"Hi, you must be Claire. Um... I'm Shane. Come in."
"Thanks"
She came into the living room and sat herself on the sofa. I sat down on the other side.
"So have you have been in Morganville for long?" Trying not to sound too intrigued.
"Well actually I used to go to school here before my parents died. After that I thought going to college here was the best for me."
Wow Claire's parents had died. They were always so fit and young. Maybe they were in an accident, I don't want to ask though, and I've already put her in enough pain before.
"Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that, mine did too."
Claire's POV
I came into the room. It looks wonderful, the walls were painted beige and the carpet was brown. I sat down on the sofa, with Shane sitting on the other side. I don't know why but I was hoping he would sit next to me. He was hot. He had a brown hair flowing just over his ears; he was tall with his abs showing through his shirt. It feels like I know him from somewhere but I can't seem to remember. I don't remember much from Morganville anyway.
"So have you been in Morganville for long?" Asked Shane, trying to break the awkward silence.
"Well actually I used to go to school here before my parents died. After that I thought going to college here was the best for me."
My parents died in a car crash last year. It was my fault though. They were attending my award ceremony. I hated that I couldn't do anything about it. If I could go back in time and change it I would. It's hard when you lose the most important people in your life.
"I'm really sorry to hear that, my mum did too." He said rather sympathetically.
"It must have been really hard."
"Yeah if only I had stopped those stupid vampires."
Vampires?
