4:44 PM
Click, click, click went Claire's mouse as she scrolled down the screen, looking for Cam's e-mail. She finally found it.
Ehmagawd! Cam was right. Claire thought as she clicked on the e-mail.
FROM: (Cam Fisher)
TO: (Claire Lyons)
I know you think I'm a jerk, but I have to tell you something really important. I think we should give it one more chance. I'm so sorry for what happened. I miss you so much. I can't bear to see you and Josh together. Please consider this idea. Let me know your answer on Friday. Meet me after the soccer game.
Cam
Claire didn't know what to do. She couldn't believe Cam wanted her back. She didn't know whether to get back with Cam or stay with Josh. She decided to type a response back first.
FROM: (Claire Lyons)
TO: (Cam Fisher)
I'm so sorry about today. I found your e-mail. Hope you can forgive me. :) C ya tomorrow.
Claire
Satisfied with her e-mail, Claire clicked on the Send button. In less than a minute, Claire's computer beeped. Cam was online and he had replied to her e-mail.
FROM: (Cam Fisher)
TO: (Claire Lyons)
It's ok. I forgive you. C U tomorrow.
Cam
Claire sank back into her chair with relief. Now for homework. Claire thought as she lugged herself downstairs to get her books. She took out 3 heavy textbooks and 2 binders. Just as she was heading back upstairs, the doorbell rang.
"Honey, can you go get that?" Claire's mom called out from the living room.
Claire went to the front door and opened it.
"Hello, I have a package for Claire Lyons." the delivery guy said.
"Oh, thanks." Claire said, taking the package from the man and closing the door.
Claire went to the living room and sat down in a chair. She looked over the box, and saw that the package was from Josh. She carefully opened the box and took out a wrapped item.
I wonder what's in it. Claire thought as she delicately unwrapped the item.
Inside was another box. She slowly opened the box and gasped.
"Ehmagawd!" Claire shrieked.
"Are you ok?" Claire's mom asked.
"Yeah!" I am totally ok!
Inside was a delicate, gleaming crystal necklace with Claire's initials, C.L on it. Claire took the necklace and put it around her neck. She threw the trash away. She knew she had to give something to Josh, but she didn't know what to get him. She would figure it out later. She went upstairs to do her homework.
Later that night, as Claire was eating, her mother complimented her on the necklace.
"That is such a beautiful necklace. Where did you get it?" she asked.
"Oooh, I bet it was from Cam!" Todd blurted out.
"No! it was from Josh." Claire snapped. Why did her brother think everything had to do with Cam?
"Oh."
"Cam and I are practically over." she said.
"Darn, I liked Cam."
Claire ignored him.
"Aw, that's so sweet." her mom said.
"Yeah."
Claire was still wondering what to get Josh. Suddenly, she knew. She would get him a hemp bracelet. It would have Josh's initials on it. She knew it wasn't the best gift ever, but it was the best she could do. She didn't know what Josh liked and disliked. Oh well, I hope he likes it anyway.
Claire didn't know how to make a hemp bracelet, so she searched on the web for instructions. She started to make the bracelet. 2 hours later, Claire was still trying to make the hemp bracelet.
"Argh! This is so complicated!" Claire said.
She kept messing up, it was so ah-nnoying. Finally, Claire tied the last knot. The finished product looked like a relatively good hemp bracelet. Claire put it in her backpack, so she wouldn't forget to give it to Josh tomorrow.
