Sorry about the wait and the shortness of this, I'll have the next uploaded tomorrow (hopefully!)
Clare walked into first hour, chatting happily with Alli. But, Clare stopped laughing and almost ran from the room. KC was there, getting glared at by Connor. Clare had of course told Connor about everything that's happened.
"Connor stop." Clare said as she sat down next to him.
"But Clare!"
She rolled her eyes. "It's not his fault."
Connor hmphed and looked at the computer screen instead.
"How is it not his fault?" Alli demanded, sitting on the other side of Clare.
"How is it?" KC asked.
"You liked her! We all knew it! But then you had to be an idiot and do that!"
"She was being judgemental!"
"No! You assumed she was being judgmental!"
"Yeah, she tried to talk to you!" Connor added, looking up again.
"Well-"
"Just stop ok!?" Clare yelled in frustration.
"Clare, you should be yelling too!" Connor told her.
"He led you on!"
"I did not!"
"You did-"
Clare groaned loudly and picked up her bag before getting up.
"What are you doing?" Alli asked.
Clare shook her head and went to sit at the farthest chair from the three of them. After that they shut up, but she didn't move to rejoin them.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They had lunch outside because it was such a nice day. For Clare, it was the opposite of nice. She'd been avoiding her friends all day, and it was no exception now. She sat on the steps ago, not even attempting to eat. Her stomach was doing too many flips. Her mind was wandering until someone sat down next to her.
She looked at the person and smiled, suddenly happy again.
"Boy trouble?" Peter asked with a grin.
"Friend trouble." Clare corrected.
Peter nodded. "Sorry."
Clare shrugged. Peter noticed she was uncomfortable so he changed the subject. They spent the rest of the lunch just talking about random things. There was no stress, and it was nice for both of them.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
After school Clare planned on leaving without talking to anyone. But, her bad luck held and KC spotted her. "Clare!"
Clare turned around reluctantly to face him. "Just leave me alone."
KC watched her walk away again and sighed. Seeing her with Peter today, and her small lighting up her face again, made him jealous. He used to be able to make her smile like that. Who was Peter to do it? No, he was going to get Clare back somehow.
Clare walked even faster after her run-in with KC, but fate again made her run into someone. This time it was the good fate though.
"Hi." Peter greeted as he caught up to her. He was slightly nervous.
"Hi." Clare answered. It was weird, Peter didn't seem as confident as he normally was.
"So Clare, do you want to see a movie tonight?"
Clare stopped and looked up at him. "Really?"
"Yeah."
"I'd love to!"
Peter grinned. "Great, I'll pick you up at 7." In moments he was back to his old self. Clare had said yes!
Clare nodded, slightly in a daze, and walked home. It took her quite a while for the proposal to sink in but when it did she couldn't stop smiling.
