Shane's POV
High school. What's the point of it? Most of the kids come to socialize, and the others just come because they don't what to get in trouble. Only a few people come to learn. I am defiantly not one of those just to point that out. But there is one I know. Her name is Claire Danvers.
Claire is a strait "A" student. This to me seems to be very hard. Maybe that just because having straight A's requires an insane amount of work, but hey that's just me. She's never late and never gets in trouble. Now I on the other hand am always late and practically have my own seat in the front office. If I were to go a week without being late or starting trouble my teachers would probably think something's wrong and send me to the nurse. She also has no friends. I'm not talking the kind of no friends that means she has like two people she hangs out with but isn't close to. No, I'm talking the kind where she literally has no friends. Nada, Zilch, Null, Zero! This doesn't surprise me all that much because she's fifteen in a class full of eighteen year olds. She skipped two grades, because she's so smart. Lame. Who would like to be that smart? Well besides freaks like her.
I pick on her a lot because she doesn't fit in here in this small town of Morganville. And that's saying something because we have some extremely weird people in this town. Hey, even my one roommate Eve is a good example of that. But I'm getting off topic. Alright, so Claire moved here two years ago. From where, I have no fucking clue but she probably wasn't wanted there either. She's so small that she's like a pixie. She has short black hair and she's about 5'2.
We are from two completely different social groups. See I'm the player and proud of it, and have been with almost every girl in school. Yes you heard me right I said almost. Let face it we all know there is always going to be girls at school that will never get a date and I don't want to go near them. Not that me being their first kiss and everything wouldn't make their life and all. But anyways back to my point which is that Claire is the only one that never seems interested in me. Not that I care but it's just different then what I am used to. That why I pick on her, because since she doesn't find me attractive than she's going to have to hate me. Its one of the other, there is no in between. So that how our lives been the last two years. Every day we fight it will go on like this until she likes me. But god is she taking a long time. Sometimes I think I should just give up. But where would be the fun in that.
Claire's POV
High school. I love it then I hate it. You see I actually love school unlike every other teenager on the planet. I know its weird and all but hey it's me. I love to learn new things and figure things out. I am really good in science and math and well basically everything else in school. I'm going to major in some type of science when I get out of this hell hole. I can't wait to get into collage because at least there people actually want to learn. I know shocking right. I also can't wait to leave this little town. I want to go back to my hometown and go to collage with my friends. But anyways I'm getting off topic. Okay so what I hate are the kids that go to my school. But one gets on my nerves the most. SHANE COLLINS.
Shane is the schools player. That's one of the reasons that I hate him. I can't stand that way he treats girls. He has one girl one day then has another the next day. It's sick and wrong. But other people at school don't see it that way. They all think he is some type of god. I on the other hand think he's a man whore. But even I cant deny that he is good looking, but that doesn't make the other things he does any better. Another reason I hate him is because he is a slacker. He is always late to class and always makes sarcastic comments in class. It pisses me off because I can't concentrate in class and what makes it worse is that he is in almost all my classes. Shane and I have hated each other since I moved here two years ago. This is because I'm the only girl in school that doesn't like him. Okay so I'm probably not the only girl, I mean there has to be at least one other. Oh who am I kidding I'm the only girl. I'm just the only girl he wants and can't have. Just thinking about him wanting me makes me want to throw up. So in return of me not liking him he picks on me every day. Stupid I know right, but hes a boy and their mines work in weird ways. So I should probably add that I have no friends, skipped a few grades, the smartest kid in my class, and I'm not considered attractive so my high school life sucks. Yay for me!
