I do not own Morganville Vampires. Shane and Claire Romance :3Enjoy… please. O.o

CHAPTER 1_

Claire walked quickly to room 101. Balancing the heavy chemistry and Calculus books in one hand, she check the time on her phone with the other. As usual, she is on time. But why, she wondered, did the principal ask me, a 16 year old senior, to teach 18 and possibly 19 year old idiot seniors? She stopped at the door and took a deep breath. Only two hours of this… she thought hopefully, then I can go and study for the finals. She opened the door and looked around.

Well, only three students… this can be easy. A girl with black hair and pale skinned was listening to her iPod and tapped her black combat boots to the music. Gothic… Eve Rosser, no doubt. The next boy had blonde hair, blue eyes like herself, and tapped his worn-out looking guitar pick to random beats on the desk. Michael Glass, definitely. The last boy was in the back of the class, looking out the window, obviously bored. Shane Collins. Girls would find him hot, with his brown hair and eyes and well built body, but Claire wasn't one of the usual girls. No, she was more smarter, quicker, and definitely more nervous.

Michael noticed her first. "Hey, you here for Saturday detention too?" he asked. Huh. Claire was right, they are idiots. All three looked at her. She cleared her suddenly dry throat and swallowed. "No, I'm your teacher for the day." "Bullshit," said Shane, sitting up and smirking, "you're what, 15?" Claire stood taller. "16, numbskull." She said. Too many times had this conversation happened… "Big difference." He stood up to leave, but Claire slammed her books down on the empty desk, hard. They all jumped and Shane stared at her. "Please, sit down. I would so much rather be at home doing my own thing than be here teaching jerks like you who think they can get by with looks." Eve smirked at Shane, who sat down.

"Nice," said Eve, "So, teach, whatcha teaching us today?" Claire sorted through the books until she came by a liture book of her favorite. "Shakespeare, and his works." Shane groaned loudly, and Michael shot him a look. "Okay, Shane if you would rather, we can do Chemistry, or Calculus." Claire said. Shane sulked. "Shakespeare…" he grumbled. Claire smiled brightly and the boys were momentarily dazzled. "Great, because it is too early for me to teach math." Claire immeadietly started her lesson and amazingly, they paid attention. Since they are good, Claire thought, I can let them leave early. "Okay, lets finish this clip before I dismiss you." She went on Youtube and clicked vs Shakespeare. At the end, they were laughing. "Alright, you guys can leave. Papers please." She collected them and Shane made his into an airplane and tossed it out the window. Claire was mad.

"Shane…" she said slowly, "Go get it." The window was four feet above the ground, she noted. "Make me," he smirked. "Okay." Claire gave him a good shove, and as off guard and unbalanced as he was,Shane fell out. Eve was laughing and Michael was trying not to. "What the hell?" Claire looked out. Oops… he landed in the mud puddle. "Ah… In that case Shane, your excused from turning in your paper." Claire slammed the window shut and collected her books. "Nice, teacher." Eve said with an approving smile. I smiled a little back. "Thanks."

MONDAY

Claire had an alright day so far, but she was on her guard most of the time. Shane can attack any moment… as she walked home, she eased up just a little…

Enough not to hear someone walk up behind her and shove her into the ally. She dropped her backpack and turned to her attacker. "Shane!" she groaned. He still looked mad. "You are in so much trouble." I dully noted the ally was oddly clean, hardly any trash tossed in, and no graffiti. "Yeah, its sunset, and I need to hurry home." Claire tried to grab her bag, but he intercepted and held it above him. "Nuh uh." Oh, come on! Claire jumped for it, but never quite made it. As she made another jump for it, his arm wrapped around her waist, pinning her against him in the most uncomfortable way. "Sh-Shane.." Claire whispered, scared. Oh god!

"Calm down," Shane said. What… the… hell? "I have a proposition for you, dear Claire." He continued. Claire swallowed. "If you let me treat you like my little sister, I will never torture you, harm you, or let anyone ever do that to you." Oh… "What about Alyssa?" Claire asked reasonably. "She's getting too old for me to take care of. Not like you." He looked into Claires eyes. "A-Alright. Please walk me home? Or carry me on your back and run, because there is not much sun left." Claire said. Shane did just that, and for once, Claire smiled.

Then… the fire happened and Alyssa died. Shane and his parents packed up and fled.

Rate and review, whatever that means. This is my first time writing, so please tell me the truth. _ Also, tell my your ideas of what should happen. (PS, that allyway leads to Myrnins Lab. :D) Thank you! ~~~ANJU
