Cliff: Um..are we starting now? *ruffles script*

Me: Can't you two wait? Ugh, you guys are impatient! And were did all those fangirls come from?
Claire: I dunno...Hey all you girls! Cliff is mine! MINE I TELL YOU! RAWR! *evil aura background emmits*
*Claire then chases fangirls around with evil eyes, fangirls run away screaming "devil girl"*

Okay and LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
I woke up early as usual, seeing that Kai is still snoring on his bed. Gray was here now, lying on his bed with his shoes still on, maybe he was drunk or something, then again, I didn't see Gray drunk before. Maybe he's just exhausted, wonder what he did yesterday? Well, I know it's a long trip to Forget-Me-Not Valley but it's not that tiring if you have a horse, and I think he borrowed Claire's horse.
Claire...
I smacked my forehead. Damn it, stop thinking about her! She's your best friend! Y-you do-don't l-li-like her! I felt my face heat up again, I stood up frustrated wore some decent clothing and went outside closing the door gently. I walked downstairs and peeped to see if Ann isn't there. She wasn't, probably at the Goddess ponds again. I went out and huffed in some fresh air. I love the air here. It's so clean, unlike the city. I wonder where I should go before going to the winery, it's still way too early. 6:00 and Manna said I should come at 8 AM, so I have 2 hours more. Mother's Hill seems like a good place, so I shrugged and walked in a decent pace to Mother's Hill. I walked through the forest and saw Ann and Popuri walking back to town. I quickly hid from behind Gotz's house so that she won't tackle me again.
"Come on, Ann! Why don't you quit on Cliff! He already bailed you!" she told Ann, rolling her eyes.
You are so right, Popuri. I thought nodding
"It doesn't matter! He's too adorable!" Ann said dreamily. I sighed shaking my head. I saw Popuri also shaking her head.
"Dont'cha know he likes Claire?" said Popuri. Ann looked from cheerful to down all of a sudden. I felt my face warm up again.
"I know..." Ann replied quietly
"Then why?" Popuri asked
"Well, Claire likes Gray right? Maybe...she'll bail him.." Ann explained sadly
"But, Cliff and Claire are best friends right? I think Claire likes him a little bit.." Popuri answered her hand on her chin. Ann sighed sadly.
"Well, Ann..I dunno, if you really like Cliff then do what you want. But I'm telling you, he's not worth it anymore. He bailed you a million times already!" Popuri exclaimed. Ann just looked down looking really sad. Popuri looked kinda guilty there.
"A-ann.." she tried to comfort but Ann just gave her a pretty obvious fake smile and went turned to the right when they reached the crossing point leaving Popuri without an answer. Popuri just shook her head and sighed, then went back to their farm quietly. I feel guilty for Ann. She really does like me, but..I just can't return her feelings. I sighed and continued on to my destination feeling even more irritated. Why is my life so miserable? When I reached the peak of Mother's Hill I sat down in the very peak, letting my feet dangle on the edge. I just stared at the sky for I don't know how long, it was so peaceful...
"GUESS WHO!" I jumped. Somebody clamped his hands on my eyes so I couldn't see, it felt like a girl's so i felt my face warm up again
"L-let go! I'm gonna fall!" I shouted pulling the strangers hands of my eyes. It giggled, which means it really is a girl.
"You have to guess who I am first! Then I'll let you go!" she explained still giggling. I know that voice quite well, and my face burned up when I found out.
"C-Claire i-is that y-you?" I stuttered
"CORRECT!" she let go and hugged me tightly
"Wh-why a-are y-y-you hu-hugging me?" I stammered.
"I missed you! We haven't seen each other in a while!" she answered and let go of me. I have no idea how red my face was I was feeling way hot. Claire sat beside me crossing her feet, then she closed her eyes smiling.
"Uhhh, we just saw each other a few days ago.." I said gruffly
"But I still missed you, your my best friend!" she explained her eyes still closed.
"O-okay..what are you doing?" I asked getting weirded out at her position. She giggled
"I just feel really happy, right now" she said now opening her eyes.
"Can I ask why?" I asked again, curious
"Mmmm..I went with Gray to Jack's ranch yesterday" she announced happily. I felt something hurt inside me suddenly when I heard that, suddenly I felt so..so..sad..and mad at the same time, what is that feeling? Why am I feeling so sad that I could scream? Uuurrghh..I don't like this feeling, how will it stop?
"Cliff? Hello? Earth to Cliff!" I blinked, Claire was waving her hand at my face.
"Oh..sorry. I just remembered I have to go to work now" I said standing up and patted my clothes.
"Your leaving already? But we just saw each other! And we didn't talk much!" she complained.
"I have to do some work, Claire. We can see each other next time" I mumbled
"Cliff..what's wrong?" she asked looking worried.
"Nothing's wrong, I just have to go" I simply replied. She still looked at me with those worried eyes. I sighed.
"Claire, why don't we eat lunch together later?" I asked her. She cheered up
"Okay!" she agreed jumping up, she stumbled backwards.
"Hey! Be careful!" I clutched her arm, and she stumbled at me instead. We both fell backwards. My face was burning again.
"Oops! Sorry, Cliff!" she apologized quickly standing up
"U-uhh..th-that's okay.." I stammered. She giggled. I sighed and smirked.
"So, should we go back?" I asked standing up again and asked
"Mmhhmm!" she replied and followed me back to the forests. When we reached her farm, I bade goodbye.
"See ya later! Remember, one o'clock at Kai's shack!" she reminded as she waved
"I won't forget!" I promised as I exited her farm, then walk straight ahead to Aja Winery and sighed.
Claire...why do you make things so difficult?
