Chapter 2- Who Knew
(Maya)
"That's what I'm waiting for, them to be gone. Then i won't be known as the 'Jock's little brother' and you won't be known as the 'Bitches little sister' we'll be known as Maya and Tris, the fabulous besties!" He went on and on but i kind of zoned out on him when i saw Clare walking up looking distracted and sad.
"Tris, does Clare look different?" I asked in the middle of his sentence.
"What?" Tris asks looking over in the direction I was looking. "Well I don't talk to her well enough to know if she's looking or acting different, why?"
"I'm just concerned, she looks like she's deep in thought and sad about whatever she's thinking about. I'm going to go talk to her, see if there's something wrong. Bye Tris, see you in class!" I shout to him as I was over to Clare.
(Clare)
As I was walking to the school, I heard a familiar voice calling out to me. I looked up to see Maya Matlin coming up to me calling my name. I started wondering why she was walking up to me, we didn't exactly have a lot in common except that we were both friends with Adam. Thinking about Adam just made me think of Eli again and all the feelings I had been feeling came back. How could he just dump me like that! How is he still not over Julia? My thoughts were interrupted by Maya waving her hand in my face and calling out my name.
"Clare?" She asked while waving her hand in my face.
"Oh um, sorry. What were you saying? I didn't hear you," I said to the younger girl trying to get my mind away from Eli.
"I asked if you were okay. You seem down, is everything okay?" The younger girl asked me looking at me with a concerned look on her face.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just deep in thought that's all." I sighed, shaking my head to forget these last few weeks. "I should get going to class though, so should you." I quickly changed the subject so she couldn't ask anymore questions.
I ran inside and starting heading to my locker accidentally bumping into someone on my way. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you," I muttered before looking up to see who I bumped into. When I looked up I saw the smiling face of Luke Baker!
"It's fine, don't worry about it. Are you okay? You look like you're in a hurry, you trying to get away from someone?" He questioned looking at me. It kind of made me feel funny how he kept talking to me and was smiling at me. Most of the Ice Hounds are plain jerks and would just laugh and tell me to watch where I'm going if I had ran into them. What's different about Luke? I didn't really know him, just that he was on the Ice Hounds team and his sister is Becky Baker, friends with Jenna Middleton.
"I'm fine, just trying to get to my locker," I muttered feeling awkward. "I should get going now."
"Okay, well I'll see you around then," He said sweetly before he smirked at me.
I ran to my locker to get my books while thinking about what just happened. Was he really being nice or was I just imagining it? I don't know why he would be so nice to me, he never has been before. Or had he been nice and I just didn't realize that he was being nice to me because I was always attached to Eli? That's possible isn't it? My thoughts were yet again interrupted for the second time this morning, but this time it was by Adam.
"Hey Clare, how are things going?" Her best friend asked her like he did every morning for the last week.
"Same as always Adam. Although I think Luke Baker was being nice to me after I accidentally bumped into him earlier," I told my best friend and couldn't help but smile when I mentioned Luke's name. Was I falling for him? I barely knew him, I couldn't be falling for him! I just couldn't not when me and Eli I just broke up, it's not possible!
"Someone's got a crush on Luke!" My friend teased me and I started blushing.
"I do not have a crush on Luke!" I insisted but secretly inside I knew I totally did have a crush on him.
"Whatever you say Clare-Bear," My best friend laughed before walking to him own locker.
(Maya)
After Clare ran inside, I sighed knowing that something was going on but she just wasn't going to talk about it. So I headed inside to go to my own locker but as I was heading in I saw that the Ice Hounds had already got back to school. Strange, I wonder when they got back. I quickly shook my head and went into my locker to get books for my first class which unfortunately was a mixed class that I had with Owen, Dallas, and Luke great. Ice Hounds invading my class was never fun. As I got my books, I closed my locker and headed to class. When I got in class I sat down in the back like usual and waiting for class to start.
(Bianca)
I was walking through the halls but no one seemed to notice me, that didn't seem right. What's going on here? I always get noticed when I walk down the hall! I thought about going into the bathroom to check if I still looked good, but the first bell rang and I really did need to start going to classes on time if I'm ever going to graduate from this hell hole. So I walked into my math class and sat down at a desk wondering who else was in here because I usually don't pay attention to who comes into class.
(Owen)
Luke and I were walking to class laughing when the first bell rang. When we got into class, we sat down and started talking not caring who overheard us.
"She's actually pretty cute if you think about it," Luke went on and on about Clare, I'd never really talked to her but last I knew she was with Emo-Boy.
"Dude, I think she has a boyfriend. You can't date her or anything." I reminded him for the third time since he bumped into her earlier.
"I know, but still she's cute," He groaned. "I can't believe I'm going on and on about her when I barely know her, it's ridiculous!"
"Who are you talking about?" A quiet voice questioned from behind us.
"Why are you listening to our conversation?" I snapped at the girl before looking behind me to see it was little Matlin, my little brothers friend.
"I was just curious," She mumbled playing with her hands in her lap.
"We're talking about Clare Edwards," Luke said to the younger girl when I shot him a glare for saying something he continued. "do you know her? Or anything about her?"
"I kind of know her, I know that she was distracted and kind of upset this morning when she was walking up to school," The younger girl mumbled to us, but mostly Luke.
"Why was she-" Luke started when the teacher came in and started class. Luke and I turned around again and halfway paid attention to the teacher.
(Luke)
After the teacher started talking I just kept thinking about why Clare would be sad. Did her and her boyfriend break up? Is that why? That would make someone sad wouldn't it? I sat there for the rest of the class thinking about her. It wasn't until Owen punched my arm that I realized that class was over. I sighed and got up and the realized that I had Art with Clare next. I practically ran out of the class and to Art with Owen behind me yelling after me to meet him at break. All I did was wave in response. When I got to Art, she was already there, I smiled and went over to her.
"Hey, is this seat taken?" I asked
"No, you can sit here," She muttered not looking up at me when she said it.
"Is everything alright?" I asked her concerned as I sat down next to her.
"No, everything is not alright! Nothing is alright," She said on the verge of tears.
"Would you like to talk about it?" I took a chance to ask her hoping she wouldn't bite my head off for asking.
"Eli broke up with me. He's not over his dead ex." She managed to say before she started crying. I didn't know what to say, so I just hugged her.
"Hey, listen to me, he's stupid to have broken up with you. You're a great girl and you're beautiful." I smiled, trying to cheer her up
"Thanks Luke," She said between sobs "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cry." She wiped away her tears.
"It's alright, it's Eli's fault not yours," I said trying to calm her down. When class started I stayed quiet until the end of class. "If you need something to get your mind off things, maybe we could hang out after school, I don't have hockey practice today." I suggested.
"That would be nice, Haven't been out in a while," She smiled.
"Okay, I'll meet you on the steps after school then." I smiled, getting up, helping her up.
"Okay, sounds good." She smiled, grabbing her bag and walking out of the class.
(Owen)
I was sitting with the Ice Hounds outside waiting for Luke. We were all watching the door, break started a few minutes ago and all of us were here but Luke.
"Where the hell is he?" Dallas, our captain, complained furiously.
"Chill dude, maybe he just caught up doing something," I said trying to make an excuse for Luke when the door opened and we all looked up to see Clare coming out, strange she usually comes out right as break starts to hang out with Adam and Eli. A minute after Clare comes out the door opens again and Luke walks out.
"Dude, why are you fucking late?" Dallas jumped up going over to Luke yelling at him.
"I was making a date for after school since we don't have practice today, chill dude, it's just break." Luke laughed.
"A date? With who?" I questioned him curiously knowing that it couldn't be Clare since she was with Emo-Boy.
"Clare, me and her are hanging out after school." Luke commented with a smile on his face.
"No way dude! I thought she was with Emo-Boy?" I questioned my teammate.
"They broke up, so I'm taking her mind off of it." He smirked.
(Maya)
Zig, Tris and I decided to go outside at break today for the first time in a while. We hadn't really been hanging out together lately since Zig and Tori broke up but we decided we needed too. As we walked out we saw all the Ice Hounds on the steps, Dallas looked pretty pissed and it's best to avoid him when he's pissed. I was trying to listen to what they were talking about when I heard Luke talking about how Eli and Clare broke up. So that's why she was upset. I turned to Tris and Zig, "Hey guys, why don't we go sit with Clare, Alli and Jenna?" I suggested since I knew Zig had a crush on Jenna and did since he meet her.
"Sounds good!" Zig exclaimed trying not to sound to excited.
"Zig, calm down, don't forget Tori and you just broke up," Tris reminded him.
"Oh give him a break Tris, he can get excited if he wants," I say trying to defend Zig.
We all laugh and walk over to the girls. "Hey Jenna," Zig smiles at her.
"Hey guys," All three girls say in unison and laugh.
"Can we sit with you guys?" I asked Clare.
"Sure, the more the merrier!" Clare gushed. She looked happier than she was earlier which I was very happy for.
All three of us sat down talking to the older girls until the end of break. Alli and Tris were talking about fashion, Zig and Jenna talking about music and Clare and I talking about school. When the bell rang we all went our separate ways for our classes.
