A/N: Sorry I took so long but I had my finals and everything and it was really crazy. Anyways, this is a purely filler chapter cuz I couldn't think of anything else so I'm warning you. Oh and I was listening to Today was a fairytale by Taylor Swift when I wrote the last part of the chapter so if it sounds too mushy you know why. ;)

Thanks for reviews! They made me so happy its kinda sad :D.


They were inside an enormous ball room, he looking especially dashing in a well-cut tuxedo while she was wearing a soft midnight blue gown that reached the black and white checkered floor. He could not take his eyes off her as they had danced all night.

"You look gorgeous", he had whispered in her ear softly kissing her neck.

She smiled."You look very nice yourself", she had answered back knowing full well that words simply could not describe how she thought he looked.

He seemed to be able to read her thoughts as he smiled slowly and pulled her towards himself.

She titled her head as his face came closer and closer and waited for the kiss as she found herself lost in his beautiful eyes.

This could be Para… Para… Paradise…Para…para….

Claire woke up with a start as her phone started ringing loudly. Damn the stupid morning with its stupid alarms, she thought. She pressed the snooze button on her phone and dropped back into her soft pillows pulling the sheets over her head as she closed her eyes, trying to bring back her particularly enjoyable dream.

Finally, she got up, sighing as she did so. She pushed the sheets away and made towards her bathroom, yawning heavily. As the warm water of the shower hit her face, Claire's mind drifted to the previous night. A large smile formed on her face as she remembered their date and Cam's sudden confession. She hadn't expected that from him at all.

She got out of the shower and made her way to her enormous walk-in closet, towel wrapped tightly under her arms. After some deliberation she picked out a white full sleeved t-shirt and black skinny jeans which she teamed up with cute ballet flats. She checked her watch and swore under her breath when she realized she was running late again. Having no time to fix her hair, Claire just covered it with a baby pink beret and hurriedly grabbed her school bag as she rushed out of the house.

Claire slowly trudged along the corridor keeping her eyes fixed to the ground. This has NOT been a good day. Not only had she reached school with seconds to spare, she had endured two whole hours of Physics, the one class where she didn't know anyone, where the whole time Olivia Ryan kept throwing her extremely dirty looks and snarkily whispering to her friends every time Claire looked at her. She had searched for Massie and the rest of the Pretty Committee but they were nowhere to be found and on top of that her stomach was grumbling loudly reminding her of the fact that she had eaten nothing the whole morning.

She longed to go home and just sleep in her comfy bed but sadly she had three more hours till school finished.

"Hey". Claire looked up to see Cam's smiling face next to her.

"Hey", she muttered dispiritedly, as she dragged her feet down the corridor.

"What's the matter?", he asked, quickly noticing the change in her behavior.

"Nothing. Bad day", she said, sighing. Her eyes narrowed as Olivia again passed her giving Claire a death glare.

"You look pissed. What happened?", he asked as he saw her narrowed eyes.

She started talking as Cam looked around barely paying attention to her, nodding occasionally. He spied Olivia simpering in his direction out of the corner of his eyes and he winked at her. She blushed, when she realized he had noticed her blatant staring and seductively smiled at him. Cam smirked and looked at Claire who continued talking totally unaware of their little exchange. Suddenly he realized that Claire had stopped talking.

"Oh that's too bad", he said sympathetically. "Come on, I know something that'll make you feel better", he said as he took her hand and led her into a seemingly abandoned stairwell.

She looked at him with confused eyes. "Cam what are you-", she started to say when Cam gently put a finger on her lips and slowly shook his head smiling at her mysteriously.

"Wait and see", he replied as he grabbed her hand and led her up the stairs. He stopped when they reached a door simply marked ROOF ACCESS.

Claire looked worried. "Cam are we supposed to be here? I mean, we have class".

He mentally rolled his eyes at her words. "Just wait and see Claire", he said as he took out a small silver key from the back pocket of his jeans. He quickly inserted the key into the lock and opened the door, motioning her to go inside.

Claire was dumbstruck when she saw what was beyond the door. It was a large room totally enclosed with glass. Brightly colored flowers grew in every direction. The afternoon sun cast dancing shadows on the pale ground as it glinted through the glass. Claire couldn't believe such a place had existed in her school and she hadn't even known about it.

"It's-it's beautiful", she stuttered as she looked around wide-eyed. Cam closed the door behind them.

"Yeah they grow all plants and shit here", he explained absent-mindedly.

"Thanks for showing this to me. But I think we should go now. We might get late", she reluctantly said as she delicately fingered a flower.

"Well, we could always just miss class", he said, walking towards her.

He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her against the wall as she turned around and looked at him, surprise clearly showing in her wide eyes.

He traced her jaw-line with one hand as the other cupped her face and he tilted it upwards, gently bringing his lips down to hers. She readily kissed him back as her hands enveloped his neck and he tightly gripped her waist.

He lightly ran his tongue over her teeth and she parted them as their tongues touched for the first time.

Claire gripped his hair with one hand as the other trailed down his chest. She could feel the muscles underneath his shirt. His hands went under shirt as he fingered her bra, her skin tingling madly at his touch.

They finally broke apart as Claire looked at him face flushed and breathing hard.

He stroked her flat stomach as he whispered,"I'm guessing you don't wanna go to class today", with a smile he knew could melt any girl's heart.

She smiled at him and shook her head pulling him in as their lips crashed again.

Claire bobbed her head dancing to the music as she increased the volume of her iPod.

"Why don't we goooo somewhere only we knooww", she sang loudly as she walked into the kitchen looking for something to eat.

It was Saturday morning, and she absolutely nothing to do. She was just walking around the house, hoping to find something interesting to do. Claire was bored. There was nothing interesting on the TV, her parents were out as usual and she didn't feel like calling Shelley again.

Suddenly her phone vibrated. Claire removed her hand from the cookie jar and checked it. It was Cam calling her.

"Hello?" she answered in a voice stuffed with Oreos. She cringed as she realized how her voice was sounding. Smooth Claire.

"Claire?"She heard the familiar deep voice on the other hand.

"Yeah. What's up?" she asked, trying to ignore the butterflies his voice always caused.

"What are you doing today?"

"Nothing. Might hang out with Massie and the others. Why?" she asked as she walked out of the kitchen back up to her room.

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to hang out."

"Um sure, when?"

"I'll pick you up in an hour", he said and quickly hung up before she could ask anything else.

He grinned as he hung up and looked at Josh triumphantly. They were both hanging out at Josh's place.

"Told you she'd say yes", he smirked.

Josh shook his head and sighed, grinning at him.

"So where should I take her?" Cam asked. Everyone knew Josh was the resident expert when it came to being romantic.

"Take her out for a picnic. She'd like that", Josh suggested.

"Will she like that enough to wanna sleep with me?" Cam asked, one eyebrow raised.

Josh simply shook his head and sighed in mock despair.

Claire stared hard at the phone after Cam had hung up as though it would provide all the answers. Well that was weird.

Just then her phone vibrated again. She checked the caller ID hoping it would be Cam but it turned out to be Massie.

"Claire honey I'm coming by your house in 20 minutes ok? Meet me outside", she heard Massie say on the other end.

"Um actually Cam asked me if we could hang out and I kinda said yes", Claire replied quickly.

Silence at the other end.

"What?" Massie snapped.

"Claire you know we do this every Saturday. Why did you agree then?" Massie asked in an annoyed tone.

"I'm sorry, I kinda forgot", Claire apologized, nervously biting her nails.

"Well you gotta say no to him. Call him up and tell him", she ordered.

"What?" Claire asked confusedly. "Why would I say no to him?"

"Well cuz you're gonna be hanging out with us, right?" she asked pointedly

Claire hesitated for a minute. She didn't want to piss Massie off but she really wanted to spend more time with Cam.

"Um how bout I come next Saturday. I mean he'll feel bad if I say no", she said in a pleading tone.

Massie sighed. "Fine. Whatever." And abruptly cut the call.

She looked around at the other girls who had been following the whole conversation.

"She's not coming. She's got a date with HIM", Massie announced in a clipped voice. They rolled their eyes and groaned.

"So she ignores us the whole week AND the weekend?" Alicia asked in an incredulous voice.

"Whatever. Her loss."

Claire debated whether she should call Cam and cancel. She had heard the annoyance in Massie's voice. After all, it was kind of unfair of her to ditch her friends, she reasoned.

But why should I care so much about Massie's feelings anyway? I didn't mind when they ignored me for their boyfriends, she thought petulantly.

She decided to stop worrying so much and just go ahead with the date.

She heard the sound of a car pulling up in the driveway. She went out to see who it could be and saw Cam walking towards the door, twirling his keys around his finger.

He lazily smiled when he saw Claire standing at the door.

"Come on let's go", he said taking her hand.

"B-But, I'm not ready. I don't even know what to wear", she stuttered. She hadn't expected him to come so early.

"It's ok, you look fine. Let's go!" he said impatiently tugging her hand.

"Ok ok, hold on", she ran inside, took her phone and came back.

He took her hand and quickly led her to the car.

"So where are we going"? She asked curiously.

He grinned. "That is something you're gonna have to wait for", he replied.

She sighed. "Do you have problems with telling people things?" she asked with mock anger, wagging a finger at him.

"Do you have problems with asking too many damn questions?" he shot back smiling slightly.

She huffed as she rested her head on the headrest. Cam removed one hand from the steering wheel and placed it on her knee. Claire smiled, enjoying the feeling of warmth it caused.

They drove for quite a while, Claire quizzing him about himself the whole time. She wanted to know more about him, was the reason she gave when he exasperatedly asked her why he was being given the third degree.

Finally, they reached their destination. Claire got out of the car and stretched herself as she looked around her.

All she could see was miles and miles of grass around them, gleaming in the warm yellow sun. The sky above them was a clear blue with the occasional fluffy white cloud lazily drifting by.

"Where the hell are we?" she asked, looking around.

"It's a little outside the city. Just a spot near the highway" Cam explained as he opened the trunk of the car and removed a tiny basket.

Claire looked at the basket curiously. "Aww, don't tell me you brought a picnic basket?" she exclaimed excitedly.

Cam nodded. "Yup. I figured its one of those things couples do so why not? Come on, were having a picnic!" as he started running through the grass.

She laughed and followed him excitedly.

They finally got a spot underneath some trees and sat down under the shade, breathless after running.

Claire observed him as he unpacked the basket, his long hands deftly unpacking as his hair ruffled in the wind.

She smiled. He looked so cute.

"Hey Cam".

He looked up at the sound of her voice.

"What?"

She leaned towards him and quickly kissed him.

"Thanks for this", she whispered.

He gave her his trademark smile. "No problem."

This is already the best day ever, Claire thought.
