Chapter 2

( 3 months earlier)

"Claire, he's wonderful. And he was singing in the band last night. He used to go to Degrassi High and he is so cute." Darcey babbled. They were sitting out by their cousins pool enjoying the start of summer and Darcey's first Friday night out. The previous evening she had gone with a handful of friends to a concert in the city and apparently fallen in love. Claire could care less about concerts and boys. She was never invited to those sorts of things and boys never gave her attention so why should she care about those things in return?

But never the less, Darcey loved those things, especially boys, and she especially loved to talk about them. She was a kiss and teller and unfortunately for Claire, she was the one who had to hear about it.

"Well...what did he look like?" Claire asked, bored and knowing that this was a question that Darcey would go on and on about leaving Claire to daze off and only have to pretend she was listening.

"He has brown hair and he's tall but not too tall and he played guitar in the band and he has such a cute smile and oh he has brown eyes and you know how I love brown eyes. Anyways I gave him my number and I so hope he calls," Darcey went on and on. "And you know Claire if he and I start dating, maybe he has a little brother or something for you."

"Darce, I could care less if he has a little brother. And I think you're stupid for getting so caught up in that stuff anyway. He might not even call," She stood and turned to go inside. " And you better not let mom hear you talk about this stuff, you know she'll have a fit."

"Jeeze Claire, you need to get a life. And I won't let Mo-," Darcey was interrupted by her cell phone. She picked it up and the screen read Craig. "Oh my god Claire. It's him"
