Chapter 1
(Leaving the LAX Airport for new home)
Claire was the most excited person in the world. In just a few days she would get to attend the most popular school in her town and Cam would be there with her. And probably a whole lot of other hot guys that he wouldn't let Claire even go a hair near to. Claire took a deep breath and looked out the window.
"Hey mom?"
"Yes sweetie?" Claire's mom said and turned around from the passenger seat.
"Do you think I'll be ok?"
"Ok in what?"
"Well, do you think I'll be able to survive my freshman year of high school in a new place and everything?"
"Well, it depends. What are you most nervous about?" Her mom said beginning to get a bit suspicious. If Claire meant the boys, then she was ready to pull her out in a flash.
"It's just, well, grades……and teachers….and the people." Claire said as her voice shook a bit.
Claire's mom took a deep breath and looked at her big blue eyes. "Honey, I'm sure you'll fit in fine. This seams like a very nice school and I think you'll make tons of friends."
"I sure do hope so." Claire said and looked out the window. She tugged on her shorts a bit. (Ever since Claire grew out her bangs, this was her new stress reliever)
"Hey mom, when does school start anyway?" Claire said and thought about all of the binders and clothes she would still have to get.
"Two more days!" Her mom said as if to say 'surprise!'
"What?!" Claire said and almost jumped out of her skin.
"Don't worry dear, I got a whole new wardrobe and plenty of binders to last you till college." She said and smiled.
"Thanks mom." Claire said and smiled back.
Claire looked out the window again. She was really tired from the time change. She only got 3 hours of sleep since last night. "Ok, maybe I can just take a little nap." She thought to herself. She yawned and rested her head on the seat next to her.
"Miss Lyons!" A teacher yelled.
Claire immediately got up as wiped the drool from her face. She could hear all of the people laughing at her. Even Cam.
"Detention is in room 102 today. See you there." The teacher said and handed Claire a slip. She then dismissed everyone and said something that Claire couldn't make out. They then started to burst out in giggles and started to point at Claire. She quickly exited the classroom and to her surprise saw Cam in the hallway.
"Hey." He said with his green and blue eyes.
"Um, hi." Claire said and blushed a bit. "What happened?"
"You're a loser." He said and cracked open a smile.
"Cam? What do you mean? Is this some kind of joke?"
"It's no joke Claire, I'm breaking up with you."
"What?! Cam? Why?" Claire said and nearly jumped out of her skin.
"Because Ashley is SO much more hotter than you." He said and pointed to some really tall blonde who had boobs the size of Claire's grandma's.
"Cam? Who is she?" Claire said as tears began to swell up in her eyes.
"She's my new girlfriend." He said and pushed Claire into the lockers. The girl looked at her and laughed in Claire's face. Then turned to Cam and gave him some exotic kiss that Claire wouldn't even dare do even if she was drunk.
Claire quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and got up. She then dropped her binder and ran at the girl with full force. "You bitch! Give him back to me!" Claire yelled as more tears poured from her eyes. Suddenly Claire felt someone twist her arm backward.
"Fuck off Claire. You so done." Cam said and let go of her hand and let her fall to the ground.
Claire just stood there crying her eyes out.
"Claire! Claire! Wake up!" Someone said and pushed her a little more.
"What? What happened?" Claire said and opened her eyes.
"You were dreaming." Her mom said and caressed her hair. "You seamed pretty restless. Come on, I'll show you the new house!" She said and squealed.
Claire got out of the car and looked up. There stood before her a gigantic white house with a fountain in the front and grass like you can't believe. There was even a tall white balcony on the 2nd floor.
"Mom? Is this like a hotel or something?" Claire said.
"No honey. This is our house!" She said and pointed at it.
"Wow." Was all Claire said and stepped inside.
"Come on! Come on!" Claire whispered as she heard a dial tone on her cell phone. "Please work please!" She begged and looked at it as if it was God.
"I'm sorry, but the number you requested…."
"Damn it!" Claire said and pressed the star button. "This thing only lasts like 2 years." She said and was ready to flush it down the toilet. (Since she was in the bathroom)
"Hello?" A male voice said on the other end. Claire looked at it and gulped. "Oh thank god it's him!" Claire thought and picked up her cell and placed it next to her ear.
"Cam?" Claire said and took a breath.
"Hey Clairebear. How are you?" He said. She could tell he was smiling.
"I'm good. I'm now living at like, Bill Gates house." Claire joked and laughed.
She could hear Cam laugh back. "Oh really?" He said. "Well I'm living at the Ritz." He said laughed again.
"Oh, wow, that's nice." Claire said and gulped again. Was Cam trying to out-do her? Like in the dream?
"Hey Claire, are you ok?" He said in a worried voice. "You seam a bit nervous."
"Oh, yeah I'm ok." She said and changed her tone. "I just miss you Cam." She said as she looked at a picture.
"You miss me or your gummies?" He said in a sarcastic way.
"Um, both." Claire said seriously. She was getting nervous again.
"Good." Cam said. "Because I got you a whole package and I'll give them to you tomorrow at school. You know, show everyone what where're all about."
"Oh alright." Claire said and giggled a bit. "Sounds ok with me."
