Author: Hey, summer has been...uneventful so I am writing a lot more now.
Thanks for the reviews people.
Disclaimer: chapter 2 has it.
The lunch line was really long today. Claire ended up still being on bottom of the stairs.(there were about 86 kids in line for lunch instead of about 28, the usual number). She stood there wide eyed. Of all the days, everyone chooses to have hot lunch the same day I forget to grab my lunch box. That box is probably still on the counter as I stand here thinking. Claire was so lost in thought about food that she didn't notice the kids in front of her, who were pushing each other around. And before she knew it.
Wham!
Claire found herself on the ground, while the kid that knocked her down just got up and continued to fight with the other kid. It was as if Claire wasn't even there. "Here let me help you." came a voice behind her. She looked over and saw....STEVE BURNSIDE! He smile at her as he helped her up. "T-Thanks." Claire said. Now usually when she liked a guy she could talk to him non-stop like to Leon for example but her mind went blank around Steve. So he had to talk first. "Is this the line for lunch?" He asked. Claire just nodded. The two stood in silence till... "Hey, Claire!" called Amber as she made her way to the back of the line where Claire and Steve were standing. That's when Claire saw who Amber had dragging behind her. "Well Claire, aren't you going to introduce me and Leon to your little friend here." Amber asked, pointing to Steve. Steve seemed even smaller and younger standing next to two 4th graders and a 3rd grader. "Ummm... " "My name is Steven, but you can call me Steve." came Steve's little voice. "Right, anyway Claire I heard you and Chris got into a big fight after the park thing the other day. Jill says she is sorry for getting you into trouble maybe she can make it up to you?" Amber said in her fake innocent voice. "How did you find out about that? "Claire asked. "I have my ways, Redfield." Amber said returning to her usual, nasty voice. "So, Chris told Bill and Bill told someone else and you over heard is that right?" Claire said, she knew how to word things to people to get them mad. (she picked it up from Chris) "Something like that. I also found out a couple of other interesting things." She said, her 'pissed off' face turned into a grinning one. "Such as." Claire didn't lose her tone. "Trust me, you don't want me to say it here, but I can tell you one of the things I know, like, Chris is interested in my classmate Jill. Now I could tell her and then I could tell who you like to the those very same boys." Amber's smile widened as her eyes motioned to Leon behind her and went to where Steve was standing. Claire's eyes bugged out. How , how does she know! Chris is gonna kill me! did Chris tell Bill. ...Now is not the time to think now I must make a deal with her to keep her quite. "Can I talk to you over here." Claire indicated to her an old classroom. (the whole school eats lunch in this old building that used to be the junior high.) "Sure." The two walked out of line and into the classroom. "Okay, what do I have to do to keep you from telling anyone?" Claire asked. "Now what makes you think I gonna tell anyone, or that I haven't already?" Amber was a year older then Claire and she was more popular, she could have told anyone. "Who did you tell?" Claire asked, her voice growing small. "Listen, I got connections with a girl from the Junior High that would love to here what I have to say, so to keep me quite you could get me some other information that I can tell her instead." "Like what?" "I need you to get your brother to stop liking Jill." Amber's voice was low, which told Claire that Amber was dead serious. "But why, is she mean of something, or is it cause you like him?" Claire said grinning. "It's nothing like that, now you do this or I will start talking." With that Amber walked away. Claire returned to the lunch line, got lunch and then sat down. "What's wrong?" Asked Rebecca, as Claire hadn't said a word since she sat down. "Did you ever tell anyone who I like?" Claire asked. "No, of course not, why, did someone find out?" Becca asked full of concern. "Well, what if I told you that my bother likes this girl in 6th grade and one of those 6th graders found out, would you: A. do what the 6th grader tells you to, just to keep them quite. or B. do nothing and be killed by your older bother?" Claire asked. "Well, if a 6th grader found out then I would get a member from my big brother's gang to tell that 6th grader to keep quiet." Becca said after some thought. "Yea, but Bill won't do that besides the only person who knows who Chris likes was me so he'd think that I told Amber." Claire said with a sigh. "Wait, your saying that Bill's little sister somehow found out who Chris likes before Jessie." "Jessie?" "Yea, the girl who gets all the cool news first...hey I bet she would know who told Amber, or at least how the word got out the Chris Redfield likes a 6th grader!" "He does!! who?" came a voice behind them. "Bill, hey umm... I was just joking Chris doesn't actually like a 6th grader I just said that to see how funny it would sound hehe." Lied Becca. "Right." said Bill as he walked over to his table.
"Dude there are ten minutes left of lunch and you just got yours!" Frankie said to Bill. "Well, it's a good thing I'm late because news at the kiddy table is that the invincible Chris Redfield," Chris stopped talking with George and Jessie when he heard his name and looked at Bill." Happens to like, and yea I mean like, like a 6th grader." Bill said as he took his seat next to Frankie which is across from Jessie, who had George on one side and Chris on the other side of her. Chris and Jessie glanced at each other. Chris accused her of telling though his eyes, while Jessie shook her head to plead not guilty. The other boys didn't notice the exchanges cause they were too busy laughing. Kids from other table looked over in their direction. That's when Chris remember that there was one other person that could have known his secret. He looked around for Claire and when he spotted her she was staring right back at him. He thought. You better have a good reason for this Claire!
At recess (for junior high) Chris had to stay in to do the homework he didn't do last night. This made Jessie happy because she didn't want him here while she went to work. She walked across the yard to Bill's sister. "Amber." She said. When the other kids saw her they walked(ran) away leaving Amber by herself. "Yes?" She asked. "You probably heard the rumor about Chris Redfield liking someone in your class and well although there is no truth behind them I need to get information on this girl they say he likes. I believe her name is..." "Jill Valentine, and it's not just a rumor Chris told his sister he did." Amber interrupted. "And who told you a thing like that?" "I have my ways." "Oh, Bill told you, how did he find out?" "He heard you two talking the other day. whoops!," Amber said covering her mouth. "I got to go, I tell you the rest tomorrow in the bathroom the usually time." She walked off just a Bill came up to Jessie. "What was that about." He asked. Jessie just narrowed her eyes. how could he do that. Chris is his friend , snooping around and stuff. Oh I hope Chris kicks him out of the group but until then. With that thought she looked around to see if a teacher was looking,(none to be found) and then bitch-slapped Bill across the face.
And I stopping there. K, will Amber spill the beans and why can't Chris like Jill? And what does Jill think about all this anyway? If Amber tells will Leon and Claire be together or did Steve win her heart? find out soon, hehe.
