Ok. This no review thing isn't working out. I need at least 2 reviews for each chapter. 1 review will end up being a shorter chapter and no reviews will end up being an author's note.
CLAIRE POV
That lunch period in the bathroom was the best I've ever had. Ever since then, I've always carried a packet of index cards and a light blue Sharpie with me. We've probably met about 10 times, but I have 28 notes. We're rarely ever in the bathroom at the same time.
"Claire! Are you even paying attention?" Mr. Myner asked.
Claire jolted her head up. She looked around the class. Massie and Alicia were snickering at her. Cam was just staring at her. She finally turned her head towards Dempsey and Derrick's table. She looked at them and smiled. She could tell they were trying not to laugh. Everyone was hyped up because it was the last period before lunch.
"Ms. Lyons! Answer the question!" Mr. Myner said.
"No, sir." Claire said trying not to laugh and turning red.
"No. That is wrong. Detention Ms. Lyons. Maybe next time you'll pay attention in class." Said Mr. Myner.
"What! I said no. How is that wrong? You asked me if I was paying attention & I said no & then you tell me wrong and then say I was right!" Claire suddenly burst.
"Well then do you know the answer?" he asked.
"What was the question?" Claire asked back.
"Who was the leader of the Mexican army in the Mexican Texan war?"
"Santa Anna." She answered.
"That's correct. And now you get detention for 2 days for disrespecting a teacher." Mr. Myner said before turning around to his desk to write her detention slip.
Derrick turned around and threw a paper airplane at her. It landed on her desk and she stared at it then at him.
"Open it." He mouthed.
She opened it and on the sheet it said:
Need a Friend?
Claire smiled and looked up. Derrick was eagerly awaiting her response. She smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Myner! I hardly call that disrespectful!" Derrick called.
"Excuse me Mr. Harrington!" Mr. Myner shouted.
"I don't think that deserves a detention." Said Derrick.
"Oh, and what do you think deserves a detention?" Mr. Myner asked.
"Maybe if someone yelled 'CAM WEARS A SKIRT AROUND HIS HOUSE' or 'MASSIE IS REALLY A GUY!!' " Derrick said before he sat down again.
"MR. HARRINGTON! DETENTION!" yelled Mr. Myner over the commotion in the room. "LET'S SEE 1 detention for disrespecting a teacher, one for insulting Mr. Fisher, and 1 for insulting Ms. Block." said Mr. Myner as he turned and wrote Derrick a detention slip too. "Mr. Harrington and Ms. Lyons to the office, you need to call your parents to let them know of your detentions! I look forward to seeing you after school."
"Mr. Myner, Derrick doesn't deserve any detentions." Claire said quickly
"Well, let's make that another for you, Ms. Lyons." Said Mr. Myner as he marked another detention on her slip.
Mr. Myner shoved them out the door and shut it behind them.
"So… Ready to call our parents?" Claire asked.
"You were actually going to call your parents?" Derrick asked.
"We have to." Said Claire.
"No Way! Cam's brother takes the soccer guys home after practice. I'll just get a ride with him." Derrick said.
"Yeah, but I used to go with Massie." Claire said.
"No Prob. You can come home with me. From there I can give you a ride back on my bike" he said.
"So what do we do now?" Claire asked.
Derrick smiled and grabbed her hand. He pulled her down the hallway to their normal bathrooms. He left her standing outside of the boys' bathroom. He walked in for a few seconds and walked right back out. He smiled before quickly grabbing her hand and pulling her inside the BOYS bathroom.
"DERRICK!" Claire yelled before she slapped her hand over her mouth.
"SHHH." He said before he led her to the farthest stall & pulled her inside.
"What are you doing?" Claire whispered as Derrick kneeled down and reached behind the toilet. Claire kneeled down to and waited until Derrick turned to her with his hand still behind the toilet.
"Close your eyes." He said and she did. Derrick quietly pulled his hand out from behind the toilet and silently put a blue box behind him. Hew then silently put his hand back behind the toilet.
"Ok. Open them." Derrick said.
Claire opened her eyes and looked at Derrick. She noticed his hand was still behind the toilet and he was looking at her.
"My hand is stuck." Derrick said as he tried to pull it out.
"OH MY GAWD!!" Claire freaked.
Derrick pulled his hand out and covered Claire's mouth. "SHHH."
"That was not funny." Claire said once he pulled his hand away. She started to breath heavily.
"Woah! Claire relax!" Derrick said.
Derrick moved closer and gave her a hug. Not one of those one armed guys hugs but a two armed hug that completely enveloped Claire.
As Derrick hugged Claire he slipped a small blue box into her open purse
When they pulled apart Claire looked at Derrick and Derrick looked at her.
"You all better?" he asked.
"Yeah. I think so." Claire said as she took a deep breath.
"Good." said Derrick before he leaned in and kissed Claire on the lips. And the funny thing was she didn't pull away, or go stiff, she just relaxed and even kissed back. And that is basically how the lunch period went.
AT THE END OF THE LUNCH PERIOD
"OMG! How am I supposed to get out of here without being seen!" Claire freaked as Derrick led her back to the door of the bathroom.
"We can wait a little longer, so everyone is in class." Derrick suggested.
"Yeah, that'll work because we don't have enough detentions already!" Claire said frustrated.
"HUH." Derrick sighed thinking. "Here." He said slipping of his jacket and putting his cap on her head.
"What? OH, thank you so much!" Claire said before getting on her tip-toes and quickly kissing Derrick.
She quickly pulled the jacket on and zipped it up. She tucked her blonde hair under his cap and pulled it low over her eyes.
Derrick looked at her then bent down so her could see her face.
"You look awesome!" he said before she zipped up the jacket and they walked out the door.
Claire waited until they had gotten to Derricks locker before taking off his hat and jacket.
"Thank you sooo much!" said Claire as Derrick pulled on his jacket and she tried to place his hat back on his head.
Derrick chuckled and grabbed the hat from her hand and put it on himself.
"It was no problem. I was glad to do it." said Derrick
Claire smiled and giggled. That made Derrick chuckle before quickly bending down and kissing her.
"Hey, we get new seating arrangements in art." Derrick said.
Claire looked confused before saying, "We don't take art."
"Oh sorry, didn't tell you, the soccer team calls Home Ec. Art."
"Right, got it." Said Claire before continuing, "Why's that so important?"
Derrick chuckled before saying, "Just don't plan on sitting in the front. Or with anyone else."
Recognition finally appeared on Claire's face.
"There ya go." Said Derrick.
ALICIA POV
I was walking down the hall to get to my locker when I saw Derrick and some guy with a jacket and a hat on talking in front of his locker. WAIT! That wasn't a guy! I watched as the "guy" pulled off the cap and let 'his' long blonde hair fall down 'his' back. 'He' also unzipped the jacket and handed it to Derrick. OMG! Was that KUH-LAIRE?? I watched as Derrick pulled his jacket on and Claire tried to put his hat back on his head. He chuckled and grabbed it from her putting it on himself.
'I should totally get closer.' I thought as I walked towards them.
"…no problem. I was glad to do it." Said Derrick.
Claire smiled and giggled. Derrick chuckled and then…then… OMG!! He kissed her!!! He kissed her!!! He kissed her!!!
I guess I was too busy freaking out to hear the next part but the next thing I heard was.
"Hey, we get new seating arrangements in art." Derrick said.
Claire looked confused before saying, "We don't take art."
"Oh sorry, didn't tell you, the soccer team calls Home Ec. Art."
"Right, got it." Said Claire before continuing, "Why's that so important?"
Derrick chuckled before saying, "Just don't plan on sitting in the front. Or with anyone else."
'Massie is going to freak and I'm going to be the best beta ever!!' Alicia thought as she scurried away.
Ok. There's chapter 2. now remember 2 review for a chapter like this.
