Throughout the night Clare was all that crossed my mind. She appeared in everyone of my dreams. I had never slept better. Before I knew it my alarm clock went off telling me it was time to get up and start a new day. School I dreded, but the chance to see Clare I loved.

When I headed downstairs to my surprise Drew wasn't there. I wonder where he went, I'm sure it was with Bianca though. I rushed through breakfast and walked to school early.

I waited by Clare's locker to see her arrive for twenty minutes, and she never showed. Then the bell rang. I figured maybe she was sick but I had just seen her last night. What if she moved back? What if she switched schools? Or worse. What if she didn't come to school today because she knew I liked her but she didn't like me back and couldn't face me? I kept thinking the worst outcomes. I tried to tell myself it's nothing but something deep down told me to worry. So I did all morning.

When lunch cam around I sighed at the thought that I couldn't eat with that curly brown haired girl of my affection. I ate alone. I picked at my lunch trying to calm myself but nothing worked.

Next period was the worst. The teacher brought up all these topics that brought Clare up in my mind. Normally I don't pay attention, but today I did. I made a note of every time he remined me of Clare. I was up to 6 when Drew took my notebook from me.

"Hey give that back" I said kind of loudly.

Drew didn't give it back. Instead he read it. "Aw how cute Adam loves Clare"

"What?" I felt embarresment and angry grown on my face. "I didn't say that"

"Then why is it written in your notebook?" Drew smirked.

"I didn't write that. I mean I didn't mean to that thought was suppose to be in my head and.."I didn't realized I was babbling on till I realized I just admitted it.

"Ah ha. I knew it. Adam loves Clare. Adam loves Clare" He started to chant.

"Stop it" I yelled. "I don't"

"Adam loves Clare" The classed chimed in with Drew.

I was completely embarred. The whole class knew my secret. And knowing blabber mouth Drew it wouldn't be long until the whole school knew. Then Clare would, and what would her reaction be?

"Alright class setting down" The teacher said.

The class went quiet.

A teacher wearing a dress entered the classroom suddenly and went strait for our teacher.

"Adam Torres" He said. I looked up. "Your wanted at the office"

I found this news of my pressences suspsious but it went along anyway.

In the office sat two adults who I figured were someone's parents. They were in tears. They looked at me and the lady started to bawl. I didn't understand what I did. I was led into a private room in the office with no windows and one door.

"Have a seat" The principal said sitting behind is desk. I sat.

"Am I in trouble?" I asked afraid.

He sighed not saying anything. "Witness says you were with Clare Edwards last night right?"

I nodded. "Yes"

"Then where is she?" He slammed his hands against his desk right in front of me.

"Excuse me? What do you mean?"

"As if you don't know" He looked at me furious. "Clare Edwards went missing last night, and everyone thinks you had something to do with it"
