Tuesday, October 3rd

"Claire Stacey Lyon where have you been" Layne said finally catching up to Claire in the hallways.

"First of all Layne I saw you yesterday in school. And second of all, my middle name is not Stacey" Claire mumbled.

"Yeah, well you've haven't been yourself for almost, well since you and Cam had that project" Layne retorted. Claire's throat tighten her eyes were threatening to leak. Why did she have to react this way every time Cam's name was mention? She had a boyfriend. Yup she and Derrick is officially a couple. When they went home from the mall they talked and kissed, and talked, and kissed some more.

"Oh yeah I have something to tell you, me and Derrick are going out" Claire blurted out once she and Layne finally reached their lockers. Layne took a minute to digest the words she was hearing. Once the words finally clicked in her head her eyes widened.

"Derrick Harrington, are you kidding me" Layne whispered yelled, making sure nobody heard them. These hallways were gossip central.

"Is there any other Derrick we know" Claire asked.

"Yeah, but he's like a Greek god." Layne whispered.

"Well that's insulting, are you trying to say I'm not good enough for him" Claire snapped.

"What, no, you know that's not what I meant. I just, wow" Layne responded.

"Come on it's not that surprising. I mean we did have a couple study sessions together" Claire shrugged.

"I was just thinking, first we were the dorks of the school, and now you're going out with one of the hottest boys in the school" Layne explained.

"I know, I was thinking the same thing yesterday" Claire said smiling knowing that Layne accepted the relationship between her and Derrick. Before Layne could reply Claire name was called by a gorgeous model.

"Sarah, Hi" Claire said once Sarah reached her.

"What's up" Sarah said, she looked past Claire and eyed Layne.

"Oh Layne, Sarah, Sarah Layne" Claire introduced.

"Hi I'm Claire's best friend" Layne said emphasizing that the role was already taken.

"Oh well I'm Sarah, Claire and I were best friend since four" Sarah said, she gave her a look that seemed to say I-knew-her-longer-than-you.

"So let's go to the cafeteria" Claire proposed trying to lighten up the mood. Just then Cam and Derrick walked through the hallways.

"Hey babe" Derrick said, and then kissed her. Sarah and Cam's eyes widen, so did the kids that had just witnessed the kiss. And so did the Pretty Committee, Kristen was especially mad since everyone knew she liked Derrick.

"Uh, wow, I thought you said you weren't dating anyone" Sarah whispered yelled at Claire, she didn't know to either be happy or mad at Claire. She should be happy; for one Claire was her best friend she just wanted to her to be happy. But she should also be mad; Claire failed to mention that Derrick was her boyfriend, and Claire did hurt her brother. She turned around to see her brother's face; it looked like he was sick. She sighed knowing the pain he must be going through; the love of his life was making out with her boyfriend, which was also one of his best friends.

"Well, at the time, me and Derrick wasn't going out" Claire shrugged.

"When did you decide to go out" Sarah asked.

"Last-night" Claire smiled at the memory.

"Oh your girlfriend is coming this way Cam" Layne hissed.

"Oh she's not me girlfriend anymore" Cam mumbled, still in shock from the kiss.

"As of when" Claire asked almost happy.

"As of yesterday" Cam mumbled.

Just as he said that the PC came and stood in front of Claire.

"Hey, hoe" Massie said to Claire.

"Hey bitch" Claire answered back.

"If your face had "Welcome" written on it, it would make a perfect doormat." Massie snapped.

"Massie leave her alone" Dylan whispered. Massie looked at her like she grew a tree on top of her head.

"Well I'm out of here" Dylan said and walked off.

"Your face is such a mess, why don't you get your dog something different to chew on?" Claire hissed, earning giggles around the hallways.

"Shut up you animal" Massie shrieked.

"That's funny you calling me an animal, it's you that has the webbed feet." Claire screeched. Everyone was laughing hard.

"Who you calling an animal" Massie shouted.

"Didn't I dissect you in a biology class one time?" Claire said smirking. Massie was mad, she was real mad. Claire was happy, really happy.

"Don't get mad at me cause Cam dumped you, he finally sees the garbage you are" Claire shouted loud enough for the people in the hallways to hear. Massie was mad. Really mad, this was it she needed to teach this slut a lesson. She raised her hand to slap Claire, but Derrick's hand grabbed hers before her hand could touch Claire's face.

"Don't lay a finger on my girlfriend" Derrick hissed. Then let go of Massie's hand.

"Well I don't have time for these idiots" Sarah said pointing her skinny pale hands at the PC.

"Let's go" Claire suggested. She, Sarah, Layne, Cam, and Derrick walked away from the PC leaving them both humiliated and angry.


Claire got to her English class five minutes early; she looked around and saw that the only seat opened was next to Dylan. She walked up to the seat and sat down. On the other side of her was Kemp, everyone knew he was a pervert.

"Hey baby" Kemp purred at Claire. Claire just rolled her eyes.

"If I were to rewrite the alphabet, I would put U and I together" Kemp stated.

"Yeah?! Well, if I were to rewrite the alphabet I would put F and U together. Get my point?!" Claire snapped she heard Dylan giggle beside her.

"Aww, baby don't be like that" Kemp said putting his arm around Claire.

"Did I mention the kick in the groin you'll be receiving if you touch me?" Claire hissed. Kemp automatically put his hand down.

"Leave her alone Kemp" Dylan snapped.

"Thanks" Claire mumbled.

"No prob, I'm Dylan" she introduced. She held out her hand, Claire just looked at it. Dylan pulled her hands back in

"I know your name." Claire said.

"Oh, okay um, I just wanted to say I don't want to be your enemy, I want to be your friend. And trust me Massie did not plan this. I do seriously want to be your friend." Dylan said taking a breath.

"I really don't like what Massie's doing , thinking she could boss anyone around like that, but I love how you can stand up to her, that's why I quit the PC this morning I want to be able to stand up to her." Dylan explained.

"And I will really like us to become friends" Dylan finished.

"Um, okay, I guess we could, um why don't you sit with us at lunch. And if you're re lying to me now then you're a horrible person." Claire stated.

"Trust me I'm not lying to you" Dylan assured her.

"Friends" Dylan stuck out her hand. Claire eyed it for a second, and then she shook it.

"Friends" Claire shook her hands.


(I'm going to give you a bonus part for not updating for awhile)

What happened after Claire and Derrick got home from the mall?

After the mall…….

"Um about the kiss" Claire and Derrick said at the same time when they arrived at Claire's house.

"You first" they said together. They laughed this time.

"Okay let me start, I think I have feelings for you and I would love for us to go out" Derrick said out in a rush. Claire was flabbergasted; she was happy Derrick had feelings for her, but then again she couldn't stop thinking about Cam. Every single thought in her mind was plagued by him, she tried not to think about it but it was impossible. But if she dated Derrick she would most likely fall for him and forget her feelings for Cam. Right? 'I mean who wouldn't fall for Derrick, he was funny, charming, and cute, and he had the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. And Cam was so sweet. Wait did I just say Cam, no I meant Derrick. I can't like Cam. First his girlfriend is the Anti-Christ, and second of all he probably wouldn't like me.

"Claire you okay" Derrick asked breaking her train of thoughts.

"Um, yeah, let's give it a try" Claire said with a toothy grin.

"Give what a try" Derrick asked confused.

"Let's go out" Claire said rolling her eyes.

"Really, um okay" Derrick said with a grin on his face.

"I really want to kiss you right now" Derrick purred.

"Okay" Claire closed her eyes waiting for his lips to meet hers……
