Chapter 2- Cliff: She is really the Girl of My Dreams

I walked around school, wondering where Claire went. Did Gray do anything to her?

Class was almost going to start soon, Where is she?!

"Riiiiiiiiiiiing" said the school bell, as it rang, just around 10 more minutes 'till our first period starts.

Man, I've got to find her soon. I entered the classroom, there, I saw here, seated beside that man, that man who stole her from me, Gray.

Why am I acting like this? I'm not in love with her… or am I?

No… that couldn't be… we just met a while ago. But why does it feel like I met her before? Nah, that couldn't be real, I mean, yeah… it couldn't. But just whenever someone says her name, it rings a bell for me. What's happening?

I looked for a chair to sit in, I spotted one behind Claire.

"Gray, I didn't know that we were in the same class." I started.

"Oh… Hi, Cliff." he said, continuing to his conversation with Claire.

I watched them, then suddenly Claire's hair flipped across my eyes, flowing through the air, she looked at me.

"Oh. Hi, Cliff." She responded.

"Oh… Hi." I inquired her back.

"Why so depressed?" She questioned me.

"Oh…it's nothing." I replied once again.

"C'mon…" she chatted.

"No… really, I'm fine." I replied, hopelessly depressed.

"Oh… C'mon, I know it… What's wrong?" she questioned, again.

I didn't want her to argue with me or do anything else, so I just agreed to tell her,

"I… I was looking for you across school, I couldn't find you. And when I did, I saw you here, with…him…"

"Who's him?" she asked.

"It's… Gray." I whispered, gently through her ear.

"Oh…" she replied.

"I wanted to sit next to you. I went inside the classroom, I saw you both, laughing… and smiling… I wanted to do that with you." I replied, again, whispering.

Gray really wasn't listening, but it still felt right to whisper in her ear. It made me feel more…private.

"Wha—why are you feeling like this all of a sudden, I mean, we just met a while ago." She disagreed once more.

Did she think that I was in-love with her? I don't really know. She really listened to me. I didn't know that she could actually care though, no one ever did. I have many friends in life, but I never actually tell them how I feel.

" I mean… we are friends, right?" I questioned her, curiosly.

"Yeah… I know, but," I replied.

"But what?" I asked her, once again.

"Um… you're acting like… you love me."

"Eh? No! I mean… I'm not in-love with you." I replied, figuring out that she might know my feelings for her.

"Oh… you love me don't you?" she asked, teasing me as I blushed.

"N-no I don't!" I replied, nervous, but still blushing red.

"Hey guys, watcha' talking about?" I was interrupted, by Gray.

"Oh…Gray." I said, not knowing why.

"I was just teasing Cliff that he's in-love with me…" she said, while she laughed.

"Oh…really?" he questioned, staring weirdly at me.

"Um…y-yeah." I said, scared of what he might of say next.
