Next chapter should be up soon.

I walked to my next class in an endless day dream. By the time I got there already half of the lesson had passed. Knocking on the door to the class I went in expecting the teacher to kick up a huge fuss like they usually do but instead he pointed at a free chair next to a Goth girl that I didn't manage to get the name of.

"Oh My God! You're that new girl, Claire, right?" The Goth girl asked while bouncing up and down in her chair. To be honest I was slightly scared.

"Erm yeah, I just got here today, how did you know my name?" At this I was confused; the teacher hadn't told the class my name when I came in.

"Oh, I'm totally psychic." She said with a completely serious look on her face until she suddenly cracked up with laughter.

"Just kidding, but you should have seen the look on your face. Actually, we were told at the beginning of the lesson to expect you." Oh well that would have made more sense. Goth girl held out her hand to shake.

"I'm Eve, by the way. Hey, you should totally hang with me and my two other friends. I have a feeling you'd get on like a house on fire." I couldn't ignore the wink Eve threw my way.

"Erm, sure."

"So why'd you come to this dump anyway?" Eve asked.

"Well, I've skipped a few grades and my parents don't want me going on to a major college yet so they decided to move here so that I could go to TPU on an advanced placement after another year of high school." She still looked confused.

"Trust me if it was up to me and not my parents id be at MIT right now." That got her attention.

"Wow, you must be smart if you're thinking of going to MIT." She looked surprised. I was about to answer her when the bell went for lunch. Talk about saved by the bell.

"So, you still up for hanging with me and my friends?" Now I was puzzled. Usually when I delve into the whole MIT thing people go all weird and don't really want anything to do with me.

"Seriously? You don't think I'm a freak?"

"Err, hello, I'm the queen of freaks." She had a point there. In the bland halls of Morganville High School, Eve stood out like crazy. Especially with her rice powder make up, she looked as pale as a vampire, and then you had her dress sense, which included belt buckles and chains all over her dress. And to finish it all off you had her black patent platforms. Nope, not normal at all.

"Good point." I said, laughing at her.

We both walked into the cafeteria and as I followed Eve I noticed she was heading for a table with two boys on it. One had blonde, curly hair and looked like a golden angel. The other I knew. It was Shane.

"Hey there short stuff. Had any more falls since earlier?" He asked before giving me a wink.

"I am not short, I'm just slightly disproportioned and no to answer your question I haven't." Eve looked at me and then at Shane before asking,

"Wait you know each other?" I was about to answer her question before Shane answered.

"Yeah, me and Claire go way back." I took the seat opposite Shane and looked at the dumbfounded Eve.

"Actually Eve, I only met Shane this morning." Shane looked over at me, disappointed.

"Way to waste my fun Claire, I could have totally annoyed Eve for at least another day or so with that."

"Sorry to burst your bubble." I looked over at him with innocent eyes, hoping he would forgive me, even though I knew he was only joking. He cracked instantly.

"Well, I'll let you off this time but play along with it next time, deal?" He held out his hand for me to bump.

"Deal." I sighed and bumped his fist.

"So, what's your plan for tonight? The usual?" Michael asked Shane. I wondered what the usual was.

"Of course." Shane gave Michael his hand to high five. Michael returned it. Eve looked at the two of them.

"So, who's the next victim to add to Shane Collin's love list?" So Shane was a player. Well that should have been totally obvious.

"That would be Laura, and I wouldn't call her a victim, girls race to be in my presence." Eve rolled her eyes.

"God Shane, you're such a jackass."

"I love you too, Goth girl. Anyway guys, I gotta go, I'm supposed to be at a detention with Mr Smith, I decided he could wait a while." Shane started to walk away before I noticed he left his bag.

"Hey, Shane!" I shouted. He turned around and looked at me.

"You, err, forgot your bag."

"Thanks short stuff, hey I can see you and me being great friends already."

"Err, yeah, friends. See ya!" As I watched Shane walk away, I couldn't help but replay those words through my head. Friends. Yupp, that's all me and Shane would ever be. Friends.
