Author's Note: Hey guys! Remember when I said that my new story will be out on 5/20… well, maybe it might take longer. 5/20 is the day before my bday eh. So I might be busy! Anyway, it might come out this 6/1 or something. Anyway again, please just tell me who you think Claire belongs to. I know Cliff owns her heart now, but Gray can fight back! Please review and PM me! :) And wait! I changed the new story's name to "Broken". I'm getting used to titles of stories with only 1 word! Tee hee! :))!

Chapter 13: Claire: Unconsciousness

I felt so dizzy. I felt so hurt.

All I could hear is two men shouting… two familiar guys.

"You would be caught dead with her!"

"Oh—yeah?"

"Oh yeah!"

"You aren't worthy enough for her at all!"

"Whatever."

"You're just saying that because you have nothing else to say!"

"Yeah right! You just don't know how it feels to be loved by Claire!"

"…"

"See? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

"I--…"

"Heh, give up."

"No!"

There, I saw Cliff and Gray shouting.

"Why won't you stop giving up?" Cliff asked.

"Because I really love Claire" Gray answered.

"Well, don't get your hopes up!" Cliff exclaimed.

"Oh! I'll get my hopes definitely up!" Gray exclaimed louder.

"STOP!" I shouted.

Both of them paused and gave me a glare.

"C-Claire?" Gray asked.

"Y-you heard this?" Cliff continued.

"I only heard the last parts before I shouted…"

"Oh…" Gray replied.

"Anyway, how do you feel now?" Cliff asked.

"Just fine…" I answered, consciously.

"Wh-What happened?" I continued.

"You—got bumped by a bus…" Gray responded.

"R-Really?" I asked.

"Yeah." Cliff answered back.

"W-Wait… today is our field trip, right?" I asked.

Before they answered, I looked at the clock.

It's 8 a.m.

"Yeah… Gray and I wanted to stay here and just stay with you and miss the field trip. Actually, I just told Gray to go, but he didn't want to." Cliff explained.

"Oh—I'm very sorry!" I apologized.

"N-No! It's okay! We really wanted to stay with you." Gray excused.

"Yeah… it's fine. I just wanted to stay with my princess…" Cliff chatted.

"Damn you…" Gray murmured.

"Thank you… Both of you…" I replied back.

"No need to thank--." They both said as they were interrupted by each other.

"Stop copying me!" Gray shouted.

"No! You stop copying me!" Cliff shouted.

"Oh yeah?" Gray asked.

"Oh yeah!" Cliff exclaimed.

"Guys! Don't fight!" I shouted.

Both of them followed me. They settled down.

"Huh… You guys are both like babies, always making noise, always fighting, and always being selfish towards each other." I explained.

"I'm sorry, Claire." Cliff apologized.

"Me too…" Gray said back.

"It's okay. Just don't be like that to each other next time…" I replied.

"okay…" Cliff answered.

"Yeah…" Gray muttered.

"Good Morning Claire." a guy behind the curtains chatted.

He slid the curtains to the other side. It was Trent.

"Are you feeling okay now?" he asked.

"Uh—yes." I replied.

"Okay… Good." He answered.

"Um--- Gray, Cliff, you know, the bus for the field trip left two hours ago, right?" Tent continued.

"Yeah…" Cliff answered back.

"Yup." Gray agreed.

"So… why are you guys still here?" Trent asked.

"They wanted to stay with me." I answered.

"Okay… then." Trent paused.

"Hey, Trent, why are you still here?" Cliff asked, smart to notice.

"Well, I do have a patient, don't I?" Trent asked, obviously.

"Doctor Tsuyugami is here, isn't he?" Gray continued.

"Uh---m" Trent replied.

"Busted!" Gray shouted.

"So… why are you here, anyways?" Cliff asked, getting curios.

"Well, I…" Trent replied.

"You what!" Gray shouted.

"Spill it!" Cliff answered.

"I wanted to see how Claire was doing!" Trent shouted.

It was a shock for me to know that Trent cared about me. It was a shock for Gray and Cliff too.

"!" I reacted.

"!" Gray and Cliff reacted too.

"Isn't it unbelievable?" Trent asked.

"Uhm---Yeah." Cliff answered.

"Claire… I—I had a crush on you ever since you came here with Gray." Trent chatted.

"What? Why haven't I heard of this? Claire went here with Gray?" Cliff asked, confused.

"Well, that was before, when Gray got headaches." Trent responded.

"Well, Claire… I thought that you and Gray were together then. So I just agreed to keep my feelings to myself, knowing that there's someone already for you. And I knew that you would never accept my feelings…" Trent muttered.

"…I… I never knew that you felt this way to me." I replied.

"You never knew that I feel this way to you." Trent responded.

"I—I… Trent… I…"

~END~

Author's Note 2: Kya~ I didn't know that Trent likes Claire! What? Neither do you? Hahahaha! Well, the only reason why I put Trent there was because I had nothing else to do. I knew that Trent, Gray, Cliff and Claire are on the same level/year, so, that means Trent also has to attend the field trip. Trent isn't excused to be absent from the field trip because he's an apprentice. Anyway, please review, subscribe, favorite and others! :) Thank you guys so much for supporting me in every way! :)) Wait! I'm thinking about putting Skye into the story! :)) Watch out! :)
