Hey everyone!

Just making this clear: Claire, Alice and Lee moved into the academy on a Wednesday. The rest of the school came back on the Thursday. On Friday they did lessons because they have lessons Monday-Friday, And at the start of this chapter it is Friday night. Also "If something is wrote like this" it means the character(whoever's POV it is) is thinking that.

Hope you like the chapter!

Morganville Academy; Uh-oh

CLAIRE'S POV:

Me, Eve, Alice and the skanks were in the house. The skanks were up stairs in their rooms and we were in the living room. Alice and Eve were watching a film. I didn't catch the name, but it was some romantic love story. Definately not my kind of film. I was on my laptop when someone popped up. Shane. He was talking to me so I clicked on his name and had a conversation:

Shane: Hey Claire!

Claire: Hey Shane:)

Shane: What you doing? :)

Claire: Nothing Much, On the laptop and Sitting on the couch while Alice and Eve watch a film;) you?

Shane: Just on my laptop coz Lee and Liam are arguing over doughnuts and Mike's just playing guitar like nothings happening :L

Claire: Haha! :) Mike plays guitar?

Shane: Yeah he's really good:)

Claire: Cool, I play too :P

'-CLAIRE DANVERS IS OFFLINE-'

SHANE'S POV:

I was going to hang out with Claire. Awesome Claire. This is going to be great! I don't know why I'm so excited, I never get excited about girls. But Claire changed me. She makes me smile by just thinking about her...

"Dude what you smiling about?" Michael asked. Was I actually smiling? Oh yeah I was...

"I don't know what you mean..." Damn! Why did I lie? There's no point, it's Michael.

"Well you were sitting there with a goofy grin on your face" he said smirking. I just glared. Then Lee came running into the room with the bag of doughnuts. Liam was chasing him but Lee was faster and he wasn't even breaking a sweat. Must work out a lot. That's why girls like him...

"Share you bastard!" Liam snapped.

"Nu-uh! Mine!" Lee grinned. He leaped over the coffee table and landed gracefully. How the hell can he be so good at... Well everything? "Come get it fatty!" Lee taunted and shoved another doughnut in his mouth. There was only 2 left.

"Lee!" I waved at him and he threw a doughnut. I caught it and ate it "Mmmmm... Doughnut... MMMMM!" I taunted.

"GIVE ME THE LAST DOUGHNUT YOU PIG!" Liam shouted. Lee laughed and ran to Michael and gave it to him. Michael ate it going very loudly going "MMMMMMM... SO GOOD!" We all laughed at Liam as he stormed up the stairs.

"Hahaha! That was fun!" Lee said grinning as he sat down next to me as I shut off the laptop and put it on the coffee table "Tired after all that running though!"

"Well you worked off all those doughnuts!" Michael said as he licked his lips.

"If I get fat I'm blaming you"

"What did I do?" Michael said defensibily

"Nothing, I just don't like the blame" Lee said and winked. We all laughed again. "So boys what you all doing Saturday night? Clubbing? Drinking? Rading?"

"Homework" Michael said simply.

"Really? Buzzkill" Lee said and turned on the xbox

"I'm meeting Claire tomorrow" I said. Oops. Guess I got too excited.

"Claire?" Lee questioned. He then wolfwhistled "Never thought a popular would fall for a goth" he said but really exaggerated the popular part. Oh. He thought it was pathetic.

"Were just friends, and being a popular isn't what you think"

"So it's not going around in a pack wearing top brands and thinking everyone else is poor and worthless? Bullying the weaker one's for your own amusement? Being arrogant snobs? Mocking people just to feel accepted by the rest of the gang?" Lee said calmly starring at the tv screen as he set up the game. We were all silent. I guess he was right. We were jerks. "No worries man. Just don't bother me and my friends. Because if you do i'll break your legs, force you to dig your own grave, bury you alive and make sure no one finds your bodies" I was seriously freaked out. Michael probably was to. Lee looked at our worried expressions and started laughing "I was kidding! You two look at me like i'm some mass murderer! I'm harmless really! I'm like a kitten!" He said between laughs.

"You scared me shitless!" I said and punched his arm "You looked really serious and everything!"

"I wouldn't do something that bad! I would just punch you in the face and walk off!"

"Some kitten" Michael said and went back to his guitar. I have now just decided I won't be getting into a fight with Lee. Kitten or not, piss him off and he's deadly.

~~~~~~~~~~SATURDAY 3:35PM~~~~~~~~~~

"Where is she?" Relax Shane. She's only five minutes late. "What if she doesn't show? Or forgot? Or thinks i'm just like all the other populars(except Michael)?" No Shane. She will show, she's not forgot and she will like you. I hope. Before I could doubt myself again I saw a figure come around the corner on a skateboard with a guitar case, heading to the theatre (I am standing by the door of the threatre). It was Claire. She stopped by me and flipped her skateboard into the air, then caught it. Cool. She was wearing black, leather boots, a black, pleated mini skirt with metal studs going up it, a deep purple tank top and her black leather jacket.

"Sup Collins" She said smiling.

"Hey, you showed" I hoped I didn't sound needy.

"Of course I did, I need someone to help me with my song!" She said and walked into the building. I followed her until we got to the stage. She claimed up the steps and got her guitar out then sat on a stool. I sat on the first row and Claire gave me a confused look.

"I'm your audience so I have to sit here" I explained.

"Okay... Wait you can be like the judge! Like this is X-Factor or something" she said and giggled.

"Good idea. Ahem. NAME?" I said loudly trying to sound in control. She giggled some more before replying.

"Claire Danvers sir!"

"Age?"

"18"

"Why are you here today?"

"I wanna be famous!" She said putting on a extremely girly, high pitched voice. She giggled some more. She was so cute when she giggled...

"What are you going to be singing?"

"It's not a song by a pop star! I wrote it. It's a surprise!"

"Alright begin!" And she did. It started off soft and sweet, but then got faster and thicker. She started to sing and her voice was like an angels. I didn't even realise when her song ended I was still in shock, but her voice brought me back to reality.

"Put your eyeballs back in their sockets and pull your jaw up soldier!" She told me. Oops must of been staring... and had my mouth hanging open. "So... how was it?" She asked concerned.

"It was... just... wow... amazing... wow... wonderful... wow... did I say wow?" She laughed "Well Claire Danvers... YOUR THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!" I said getting to my feet.

"OH MY GOD! REALLY?" She said getting up "YAY!" She started jumping around like a little girl. She was REALLY cute. "I can't believe i'm through" she stopped jumping and laughed. Then put her guitar away. "That was actually fun... usually I don't do things like... this"

"Either do I... But with you it's fun... being all weird and things"

"You mean being a freak like me"

"What? No!"

"Chill Shane! I take it as I compliment!" How can she be so cool about that? I was about to ask but her phone went off. She took out her phone and looked at the screen and her eyes went wide. "I umm... gotta go" she said and grabbed her things and headed to the door.

"Wait! What?"

"I'm sorry Shane. We should do this another time... I just have to go!" And she ran out of the door before I could stop her. Well that was weird.

CLAIRE'S POV:

I had to get to Alice. She sent me a message in chinese. We do that incase someone has our phones and so they won't understand. And just incase they do translate it we don't write very clearly. This one said "Claire. Emergency. Come quick. Dead man walking". Dead man walking means another vampire. This is bad. Really Bad. When I was sure no one was watching I went vamp-speed to Alice. I was nearly there and I smelt blood. Human and Vampire. When I arrived in the middle of the woods on the edge of the academy I was shocked by the sight. Alice was on the ground with Eve's head resting on her lap. They were in a pool of blood. And Eve had fang marks on her neck.

Hehehe... What do you think?

R&R Please! :D
