7:33 am

School

Claire dragged her feet as she walked towards school. She woke up and tried to convince her parents to let her stay home, but they insisted that she should go. She sighed and went to her locker, after getting a few books she shut the locker and turned the combination once, then walked off to her first class.

She had history first. All through first period she stared straight ahead. Somthing felt different about today. Like somthing bad was just about to happen. The teacher talked on and on about the civil war. Claire barely heard a word of it. She kept glancing over out the window. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the bell rang at last.

Claire was drawn from her thoughts. She stood up and gathered her books before leaving the now empty classroom. She met up with Zach in the hallway, he was busy talking about some new film he wanted to see. The rest of the morning seemed just like a blur. Claire barely payed any attention all through each class. When it was finally lunch she met up with Zach again. Together they walked to the crowded cafeteria.

She didn't talk much, Zach seemed to take notice. He kept glancing at her. Finally he stopped walking.

Zach: Are you ok?

Claire: Huh...yeah, i'm fine.

Zach: you don't seem fine...

Claire: Really, i'm ok. thanks Zach

He just smiled at her and nodded. they went into the lunch line. After both of them got some discusting looking lunch they decided to stay inside the cafeteria and eat their lunch. They found an empty table and took their seats. Claire stared down at her lunch tray. Still, she had a really bad feeling.

Peter Petrelli

11:46 am

apartment complex

Peter should have been at work right now, but he was just sitting in his living room looking at the television. For some reason from the moment he woke up, Peter had felt sort of ill. It was weird because he never got sick. So instead of going into work, he stayed at home. Nathan had tried to call twice and both times Peter hadn't picked up the phone.

He wasn't sure why though. Of course he wasn't trying to avoid Nathan or anything, it just sort of happened. It had been this way ever since he learned the truth about his family.

"No, you're lying."

"Pete, listen to me. I am telling you the truth. You're adapted you. I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner, ok?"

No wonder he felt so tired latey. Everyone he knew seemed to take notice, and they tried talking to him. Peter just refused to listen. he had been stubborn like that since childhood. He knew what he was doing, and he knew it was hurting mom. But she had kept somthing so important from him for twenty five years. What was he supposed to do, pretend it didn't matter?

So instead of calling Nathan, or even his own mother for that matter, Peter sat in his living room trying to make it seem like it really didn't matter. Finally he stood up and walked out of the living room.

Math class

All through lunch Zach had kept trying to get Claire to talk. She kept insisting that everything was ok, Zach just didn't believe it. He was just worried about her and she was acting like, well at least she felt like she was being a complete jerk to him.

After class she would just apologize to him. He would understood, she hoped. But as always class seemed to drag on for hours. It was only fourty-five minutes. When the bell finally did ring and Claire stood up from her desk, glad to be leaving. She only had two classes left before school would be out, then she would go home and hopefully start feeling better.

As she suspected Zach was in the hallway at his locker. he put a textbook away before pulling his science book out from his locker, which was surprisingly clean. He looked up when she came over.

Claire: I want to go home

Zach: So go

Claire laughed and watched as Zach slammed his locker door shut.

Zach: Seriously, what's wrong?

Claire: Zach, i'm just tired and stuff...I don't know

Zach: Yeah, I relized that.

Claire: Ok look, I need to-

The silence was broken. It sounded like sombody hitting a wall really hard with a hammer or somthing, at first. But Claire heard it a second time and relised it was much closer. Then she heard kids screaming. That's when she just knew somthing bad was happening.

Somthing very, very bad.

A/N: Yeah, another short chapter. Sorry about that. Hope it's good
