Still writing...no reviews, but...I'm still going. Review if you want me to continue. This is it if no reviews!

-----------------------------------------

Claudia's POV:
I walk beside Lumina timidly as we stride out her house. Wait I think At home I wouldn't be caught dead walkin' like THIS! So I hold my head up, push back my shoulders slightly, and hope I see that guy again.
"Hey Lumina"
"Yeah?"
"Is there someone in the Valley with red hair besides me?"
"Yeah, three people."
"Their names are..."
"Oh! Wait, actually there are four. Hugh, Chris, Katie, and Nami"
"...ok. Are there any our age in that group?"
"Katie and Hugh. Well, Katie's younger, but..."
"Oh...ok"
"Why?"
"Oh, there was this guy checkin' me out and I smiled at him and-"
"Hugh! You like him, right?"
"Shut up, I don't even know him! Don't scream his name! What if it isn't even him?" I look around worriedly and she cracks up. We talk about how Hugh looks and I discover that it was indeed...Hugh. What a weird name. I like it, though. I mess with my dog tags as we get down the hill and I see the well. Lumina points and says, "There's your man's house!" I glare at her as she cracks up. It's on the end of a line of three houses, one of them being the one I had slept in. "You know I'll be stalkin' him," I say and grin deviously. Lumina laughs again and says, "You better watch out for Katie, though. She has dibs on him. Not officially. He won't do anything with her, but..." I crack my knuckles and say, "Don't worry 'bout it" She smiles and a guy in his 20s walks up towards them. "Hey Lumina, who's this?" he asks, sizing me up. "Claudia," Lumina says and looks at me out the corner of her eye. I hold out a hand for him and he takes it with a nice, firm handshake. "Claudia, this is Sam. He has, like, two brothers stayin' with him," Lumina says. "Sam? I know a guy named Sam back-" I stop myself. Home. Sam got shot, didn't he?
He did. In the shoot out. The new Sam looks at me curiously. "Uhm...uh...he was one of my home bois back home," I say. My voice cracks and I blush. "We called him El Perro"
"Perro...Are you C.B.? Chica Bonita?" I nod, grateful my slip up hadn't been noticed. I was about to burst into tears, but I never cry. Well, not until...No, don't think about it! I think.
"Yah, but she doesn't wanna talk bout it," Lumina says, looking at me. I wanted to hug her so bad. Sam shrugs and says," Well, do you two want a drink?"
Muffy's POV:
 I was working when she walked in. The girl whom everyone was talkin' bout. She was wearing some nice clothes! Lumina and Sam both walked in after her and I smiled fakely. I knew it was C.B., because I had heard rumors of what she looked like. She was stealing all the attention. "Hey, Sam! Lumina...", I look to C.B who puts in, "Claudia."
"Such a pretty name!" She just looked at me. Her eyes looked like she had been through a lot and not much would bring her down or hurt her. I looked away. "So, what'll it be?", I asked, looking to Sam. I smile when my eyes land on him, but he was looking at her. "Sam," I practically shout. He looks at me and I smile. Lumina leans to Claudia and whispers something. Claudia smiles. It looks weird to me. She only smiles with one side. Like she's only half happy or something. Hah. She deserves it. "What'll it be?" I ask through my teeth, which are shining with my mouth stuck in a smile. "Uhm, two punches...and a Moondrop," he says, smiling slightly. Hah. Take that Claudia! He still likes me. I think as I fix the order up. They all walk to a table and the girls sit across from Sam. I listen to them talking as I finish up.
Sam's POV:
I sip my Moondrop when Muffy gives us our drinks. A fake smile is plastered onto her face. "Uhm, thanks," I say, and she leaves. I look to Claudia who is talking to Lumina steadily, as if watching what she's saying. "Hey, it's almost New Year's Eve, what are you doing, Claudia?" I ask. She looks to me and our eyes lock. If she were my age...woa I don't want to think about that.I think. Muffy appears out of nowhere and somehow blocks my view of Claudia. "Hey, Sam! Do you need anything else?" she asks. I shake my head no and she nods. Then sits on the tables directly in front of Lumina and Claudia. "Uhm, Muffy..." Lumina says, looking up at her. She looks to Lumina. "I need something," she says.
"What?"
Claudia answers politely," She needs for your butt to get out of her face." Lumina nods innocently and makes her eyes big. I try not to laugh as Muffy hops down and turns to them. "Is that better?" she asks, a fake smile plastered on her face. They both nod and then Lumina says," Oh, and we need a check."
