Chapter 2:
After talking to Andy , Claire plopped on her bed, she didn't want to sound snobby or conceited about Allison going but she kenw how cruel those people could be. What a day it had been. Claire got up and went to the mirror and felt where her earring used to be, her parents hadn't noticed yet and she didn't know what she was going to tell them when they did. They wouldn't be too happy knowing she gave them to anyone let alone "the criminal" She had a hard time saying that now, she knew John a lot better now and he was more than that , Claire started to wonder what if she took John to Stubby's party? "Oh please! ' she told herself, like John would want to go and if he did what would her friends say? Claire didn't want to think like that and she felt really bad for doing so , it was like she told all of them earlier she hated going along with what her friends said all the time and she didn't know why she did it. 'Ok ok 'she thought on to happier thoughts like what happened today, She couldn't deny there was something between her and John. 'Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to ask John' he would probably say no but she had to find out. First though she had to figure out how to get out of the house. Claire went downstairs and found her mom reading a book in the living room listening to classical music, she really wished her dad was home but he had to finish some things at his office .
Claire: Uh mom?
Mrs. Standish; Hmm?
Claire: Would it be ok if I went out for a little awhile?
Mrs. Standish (putting her book down): Claire I told you earlier you were grounded that means no friends this weekend and no shopping.
Claire: I know but I completely forgot I had uh math homework to do and I'm having a hard time doing it and I know someone who could help me.
Mrs. Standish (suspiciously): Who?
Claire: Um BRIAN! (lowers her voice) I mean his name his Brian Johnson and he's really smart and he said he would help me. (Claire couldn't believe how that just flowed right out of her mouth and she tried to hide her own astonishment)
Mrs. Standish: Well, I guess if you need help he could come over here.
Claire: Well uh I also need to do a book report and that' means we would have to go to the library so…..
Mrs. Standish: Alright fine , but how are you going to get there,? my car is in the shop.
Claire: Well he could pick me up!
Mrs. Standish; Ok but be back by 12:00
Claire: (sighs) ok thanks. (she kisses her mom on the cheek.
'Wow!" that wasn't that hard, but now she had to figure out how to get Brian to pick her up and how to talk to John.
Ok, sorry the chapter was so short and I'm sorry there hasn't been a whole lot of action but the story will pick up. :o)
