Chapter 7

(At the lockers at BHH)

"Hailey, is what everyone saying true?" Claire said and bit her lip.

"Is what true?" Hailey responded.

"That Cam made out with Angela." Claire said. Her heart felt like a glass that was just shattered after she said that.

"What?! Who told you that?" Hailey said.

"I dunno, I just heard it from other people." Claire said and tugged on her skirt.

"Well I'm sure it's not true." Hailey said and rolled her eyes.

"But what if it is Hailey? The whole school is talking about it and it's making me really upset."

"Why don't you go find out for yourself." Hailey said and pointed at the Alfies. "And I'm sure if you don't react about it too badly, it will piss them off and they'll want to give Cam back to you. Oh, and you should totally do operation YBIHUWSE."

Claire thought hard about what Hailey said and sighed.

"Well, I guess that's not a bad idea. But what if I get dissed again?" She said and sucked on her shirts arm so much it was soaked.

"You won't Claire. You changed, remember?" Hailey said with a smile, and walked off.

"Ok." Claire thought to herself. "I can do this, I can get Cam back! I just can't be a wimp. I gotta be strong." She slightly shut her eyes and made her way towards the girls.

"Um, hey." She said and waved a hand. The same hand that she was sucking on her sleeve.

"Ew! Did you like, pee on your shirt or something!?" Alyson said while a couple of the girls giggled. Claire just ignored them and rolled her eyes.

"I'd like to talk to Angela if you don't mind. In private." Claire said confidently and eyed Angela.

"Oh sure, no problem. Gilrs, can you give me like, just a sec?" She said in her smooth gentle voice. "This shouldn't take long."

Claire made her way over to the side along with Angela and looked at her floor.

"So, what do you want?" Angela said chipperly. "Oh, but I can't give out advice today on how to dress. Or how to do your hair, and how to, well……quit being a loser." Angela said and basicly stared at Claire.

"Well, that's not why I'm here." Claire said. "I wanna know what's up with Cam."

"Oh, that's sweet that you still check up on your ex's. Maybe I should do that sometime." Angela said. "Well, let's see….we made out on Thursday. He called me like, a hundred times. He stroked my hair and told me how cute I was. And he got a peek under my skirt on Wednesday. Gosh Claire, I don't know why you ever wanted to break up with him in the first place. He's just so cute!"

Claries face turned bright red. Did they really do all of those things? Or was Angela just trying to make Claire jealous? Claire took a deep breath and tried to smile. But the only thing that cam out was a weird looking smirk.

"Oh, that's great. I'm so glad things are doing well because , you see. I have some news for you." Claire said. This time she smiled.

"What? What is it?" Angela said half excited, half fake-excited.

"I found out your boyfriend. Oh whoopies, I forgot, your ex boyfriend made out with someone else. You know, after you gave him the message.

"Wait, which boyfriend?" Angela said and totally switched her tone. She was totally into the conversation now.

"You know, Josh. The Junior."

"Wait, Josh? Who did he hook up with?" Angela said and bit her nail.

"Um, I think it was Delia."

"No way!" Angela shrieked. Her face turned bright red. "Oh, I mean, that's crazy that he picked her, I mean, she's such a slut!"

"But wait here's the best part." Claire continued and smiled. "I heard they made out differently."

"How different?" Angela said. The polish was now gone from her nail.

"I heard they did it French style. You know the tongue." Claire said and smiled. "Oh, and they were both chewing gum, and both of the gum ended up his mouth!" Claire said and squealed.

Angela's was bright red and her eyes were practically bulging out of her sockets.

"Oh, wow. Get out!" She said and laughed like a dead person. "That just so funny. Thanks for the info Claire. You're my gossip buddy!" She said and waved. Claire smiled and walked off.

"Ok, like, what was that all about?!?" Alexandra said as Angela walked back to her group.

"Oh shut up Alexandra." Angela said with a pissed face and slapped her on the head.

"Hey, what was that…."

"Amanda, does your older sister still smoke?" Angela said.

"Oh my god Angela, are you reallay that upset?" Amnada said and put down her bag.

"Just answer the fuckin' question!" Angela yelled.

"Allriot, yes, she does. In fact I think she left some of her pot in my bag." Amanda replied and made a disgusted face.

"Good girl. Now give it to me." Angela said and held out her hand.

"Elmahgawd, you seriously aren't…." Amber said. But Angela cut her off.

"Oh no, no, no, girls. I'm not going to smoke it. But I'm reporting to Principal Jeffery that Delia did." Angela said as a smiled twisted across her face.

"Delia? Oh yeah, that slutty sophomore. Wow Angela when you really don't like someone you really don't like someone." Alyson replied.

"I know. Don't you just love it?" She said and made her way the Principals office.
