Chapter 4- Claire: His True Feelings
"Heh, you feel happy today, don't you, Gray?" I asked him.
"Well, yeah. When I'm with you." He replied, I blushed as he did too.
"We should go back to our classes shouldn't we?" I said as I heard the school bell ring for the second period to start soon.
A few minutes before our second class was finished, I received a note.
"Claire, would you like me to walk you home?" It said, coming from Gray.
"Sure, I'd love that." I wrote back.
I sent it to Gray, he looked back at me, we both suddenly turned red.
Our second period was finished. It was our lunch break.
"You buying lunch?" Cliff asked me.
"Yeah. You?" I questioned.
"Yeah. Want to buy lunch together?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure. That would be great." I replied.
We ordered our food. We were looking for a place to sit in. We saw Gray, waving his hand. He was seated in one table merely full of 4 other students.
"We couldn't fit there." Cliff told me.
"C'mon, you'll never know unless you try." I replied.
"Okay." He chattered back.
We sat down on the chair. I looked at Gray.
"I saved your seat." He said.
"Thanks." I replied.
We both blushed, we were suddenly interrupted by a voice in front of us.
"Hey! Are you just going to stare at each other like a lovesick couple?" the girl, my friend, Celia, teased.
We both blushed even deeper. What is she thinking?
"Um--- Claire?" Gray asked me.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Could I talk to you in private?" he asked.
"I guess so. Sure." I replied.
"I was thinking if you'd like to go to the beach with me this 'Fireworks Festival'. Do you want to?" he questioned me, while turning red.
"Uh…Sure, that's a great idea." I chatted.
We headed back to the table noticing that everything felt fine.
"So…how was your short date?" Celia teased.
"Stop that!" Cliff interrupted.
Everyone at our table was shocked.
"Stop… that." He said, once more.
"You just really don't get it do you? I feel…. Why can't you just leave Claire alone?" he said, seeming sad and annoyed at the same time.
"What's up with you, ponytail," Celia teased him, "I mean… this doesn't have anything to do with you."
"You just…" he said, as he left the table.
"Wow. Claire, that boy has actual feelings for you." Celia replied.
"How…how could you…. do that to him?" I said, cutting my voice.
I left and began to have a search for Cliff. I checked our classroom, the teacher's room, the cafeteria, but, the last place I looked for him was in 'The View'. I finally saw him. He was sitting there all alone, looking at the wonderful view.
I went to check on him.
"Are you okay? You seem a bit… no, definitely depressed." I started.
"Wow. I didn't know you come here." He said, surprised.
"I knew that I might of found you here." I told him.
"Claire… I…" he replied.
"You what?" I asked.
"I… nevermind." He replied.
I started to wonder, I guess he does love me.
We stared unto the view. We looked at each other, blushing. We were just like the other lovesick couples.
So comfortable, so great, so right.
