Claire wasn't looking forward to the bell she had this feeling that once she got out she was going to see the two girls and she just didn't want to. She watched the clock and waited for the last few seconds to go by before they had to leave. Then it rang she quickly gathered her stuff and when she was about to get up and go someone put something on her desk, it was that strange girl that always wore black. Claire went to look up at her but she was already out the door. She looked down at the empty white sheet of paper wondering what that was about. She turned it over to see a really beautiful picture, it made her smile.

Allison was debating whether she should do it or not, but as Claire was looking up at the clock she decided, the bell rang and as quickly as she could she rushed over put the paper down on Claire's desk and ran out into the hallway. She let out a sigh and continued down the hall. When she saw Claire in class she decided to draw a picture for her in hopes that it would make her feel better. It wasn't anything special just a peacock in mixed in with turkeys, Claire would get the hint, Claire was mixed with the wrong crowd, and she even drew another peacock in the background with a bandana around its leg. Allison made her way to the front of the school praying that her parents hadn't forgotten her. She stood there waiting for sometime.

"Hey." Allison stood still knowing that whoever just said that was talking to someone else. "Waiting for someone?" This time she knew that someone was talking to her. She turned to see blue eyes looking at her. She didn't say anything just looked at him and then looked forward.

As part of Andrew's punishment he was to spend his lunches cleaning the gym. When he went to his last period he was told about what happened during lunch. "I heard she likes you and she got upset because she was embarrassed about it." Andrew thought it was strange Claire didn't seem like she liked him she just seemed nice.

"Well who said that?"

"Cathie and Kristy have been telling everyone." Andrew laughed with that.

"Cathie and Kristy huh I bet that's why she got mad."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because they have been telling people stuff all day, I bet they were just saying that and she got mad because they're just making stuff up."

"I don't know I mean Claire is pretty cool I would like it if she had a crush on me."

"You would like it if anyone had a crush on you." Andrew mumbled under his breath.

"Huh?"

"Nothing so I hear practice is going to start getting more intense."

"Who said that?"

"Coach."

"Man this is going to suck, that means we're going to have to stay later."

"Yeah, well what can we say? We need all the practice we could get."

"Yeah that's true." After that they both stopped talking and paid attention in class they needed to maintain their grades in order to stay on the team. After the bell rang ending class Andrew went to his locker to put all his books away then he saw her. Miss. Reynolds that's what the teacher called her, he followed after he maybe he could introduce himself. He watched as she stood outside of the school. He decided to go up to her.

"Hey," she didn't turn in fact he didn't think she heard him. "Waiting for someone?" She turned and looked at him then turned away. "Ok, I'm Andrew. We have history together." Still nothing, "What's your first name?" She kept looking forward, and he was going to be late for practice. "Well Miss. Reynolds I have to get going to practice. I guess I'll see you around then?" He turned and walked toward the gym, thinking that maybe next time talking to her would go better.

Allison turned to say something but closed her mouth when she saw he had already disappeared back into the school. She decided to wait for a while to see if he would come back. After five minutes she figured he wasn't retuning and that her parents forgot about her. She started walking to her house even though it was a good 45 minuets away.

Brian decided to go work on his project before one of the club meetings started. After that he was just going to go home and study. He saw that the strange girl in the back of the classroom left something on Claire's desk he tried to get a look at it but wasn't able to. He wondered what it was and why she was giving something to Claire. Claire seemed surprised so obviously they didn't know each other. It made him wonder why she would leave anything to Claire. The thought left his mind as he entered the woodshop class and concentrated on his project.
