Disclaimer: I do not own anything having to do with Claire or Lizzie McGuire the series/cast/books or movie.

Reviews: Starshine- thank you, I'm glad to see that at least three people are reading! I did think that I would get more reviews, but maybe as the story goes on. Hope you like!

A/N: I think that I'm going to put "remembrance scenes" in this chapter. Meaning that when I put two stars in front of something, you'll know that Claire is remembering conversations and stuff from the past. Got it? Good.

"Hello Kate." The counselor seemed so nonchalant about this whole thing. She makes it seem like any other visit. Maybe that's what she's supposed to do.

"Hi, Mrs. Burke." Kate actually knows her name? How is that possible? She is new to our school; she doesn't even have a nametag. Has Kate been here before?

"Mrs. Burke, sorry to interrupt, but we have an. emergency outside." What's going on out there? He actually looked worried, almost fearful. Mrs. Burke jumped out of her chair.

"I WILL BE RIGHT BACK!" I could see her face through the little window in the door. She looked concerned.

"I wonder what's going on out there." Kate had seen Mrs. Burke's face just as I had. I couldn't say anything back to her. I'm sure she could feel me gazing at her. I started thinking back on my first time, talking to Kate about it.

** "I did it! I finally did it!" (A/N: Claire)

"You did? And.?" (A/N: Kate)

"And it wasn't so great."

"I didn't think it would be. I only did it with Ethan once. I'm not doing it again."

"Mark was so nice about it. But when we started, I, I just couldn't."

"It felt like HE was doing it, huh."

"Yes."

"I cried the whole time when Ethan and I." **

Suddenly there was a scream. Kate and I both ran out the door. We didn't get very far. We were held back by a bunch of teachers and staff that I'd never even met. Mark was holding a switchblade. Robbie was antagonizing Mark. Silence was all around. Everyone was gathered in a circle watching it. A girl called 911 on her cell phone as the counselor. Mrs. Burke tried to coax the switchblade out of Mark's hand. He never took his eyes off of Robbie. This was all so unlike Mark. It'd only been about five months since I'd broken up with him. I would have never imagined him wanting to harm anyone.

** "Are you okay?" (A/N: Mark)

"I'm fine." (A/N: Has to be Claire, right?)

"Why did you run out on me yesterday? Did I do something wrong?"

"No! You didn't do anything wrong. I can't see you anymore!"

"Why not? Listen, you don't have to be nervous. I'm not going to tell anyone. It was my first time too!"

"I'm not scared! Please, just leave me alone. You wouldn't understand." **

I heard a scream. When I looked down on the floor I saw Robbie, lying in blood. Shortly after, the ambulance arrived. Several students were taken to the police station to give their scenario of the event. I was one of them.
