Chapter 1
Claire's POV
Oh no! I can't believe I over slept. Though in my defence it's not really my fault, I couldn't sleep last night. No reason in particular, I just couldn't get to sleep. And now I'm fucking late. I think if I skip breakfast and run for it I can make it and then I can just grab something from the University Centre.
The only good thing about today is also a downside. I have labs this afternoon and he professor has a habit of making it so that we always end up getting out late. The last time he let us out late I had to stop at Common Grounds to wait for Eve to finish 'cause I knew that I wouldn't make it home. Eve was glad I thought to go there instead of trying to get home. Michael and Shane were annoyed that I had got out late but glad that I'm home safe. Especially Shane. He seemed really annoyed that I wasn't able to get home straight away.
Crap. I'm late home again. Hopefully the others will believe that it was 'cause I got kept I with the lab that I was doing. I swear when my professor comes up with the labs for us to do it is because he wants us to end up staying later than normal. I have wondered if it's because he knows nothing about the vampires (which I highly doubt) or he likes the idea of the people go to the uni and live in Morganville have to run for their lives trying to get home I one piece.
Finally home. Oh fucking no! I don't have a key and if I don't get in soon I'm gonna get attacked.
I try knocking on the door. Please let someone be home. Please let someone be home.
No answer. FUCK.
I try again. Still no answer.
I'll try phoning someone. Let's see:
Eve- work
Michael- ghost
Shane- should be home or doing whatever it is Shane does.
Please answer the phone. Please answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Shane please tell me you're home. I'm lock out the house forgot me key and didn't realise till got home."
"Yeah. Hang on."
A second later Shane answers the door.
"You know that gonna be in trouble right."
"You do realise that you will as well. You were home and could have got the door but didn't. So the way I see it you don't tell anyone and neither of us will get into trouble. What were you doing that made you incapable of answering the door?"
"Erm…"
"Let me guess. Kim's here and you were to busy making out with her to answer the door. I can't believe you."
Before I was annoyed, now I'm pissed. I can't believe that he was to busy making out with his girlfriend to bother answering the door.
I hope he doesn't talk to me for a while or at least keeps his distance till I've calmed done a bit.
Shane's POV
Who the hell keeps knocking? I hat it when I'm spending time with my girlfriend and people always find the worst times to come and find something that makes stop doing what I was doing with my girlfriend. Currently we are in the living room on the sofa not doing much and if I have to move their will be hell to pay. Surely the person should have by know thought that people aren't home and go away to come back later.
And now my phone's going off. This better be important.
"Hello?"
"Shane please tell me you're home. I'm lock out the house forgot me key and didn't realise till got home. I keep knocking but no one's coming."
"Yeah. Hang on."
Crap. I'm such an idiot.
"You know that gonna be in trouble right."
"You do realise that you will as well. You were home and could have got the door but didn't. So the way I see it you don't tell anyone and neither of us will get into trouble. What were you doing that made you incapable of answering the door?"
"Erm…" What am I meant to say to that? I don't think the truth will get me anything more than more trouble.
"Let me guess. Kim's here and you were to busy making out with her to answer the door. I can't believe you."
I think I should leave her alone for a bit.
"Is Kim still here?"
"Yeah" I think I should get back to her and let Claire cool off a bit and hope that she won't tell Michael or Eve although I think that if she were to do that then she'd get her head bitten off cause she shouldn't have forgotten her key or been late home.
I go back to the living room and Kim's still here looking like she
a. doesn't know what has just happened between me and Claire, or
b. that she doesn't care about what just happened.
"Kim?"
"Yeah."
"I think that you should be getting home. I don't think it's best that you stay, what with Claire not very happy right now."
"I don't understand."
"Claire is pissed at me and I think that I should make it up to her or try to get her to talk to me so that the Eve and Michael don't find out what has happened and then have a go at me and get Claire in trouble."
"I still don't see why I have to go though. Can't you just make up later?"
"Kim please. You can come over tomorrow."
"Fine"
Great, now I'm in more trouble. Ugh why do girls have to be such hard work?
