Note: Alright guys! Thank you so much for commenting on my last chapter! Really appreciate it :) Here's chapter two that you all have been waiting for!

Claire and Piers took a seat at Chris's table. "Chris? May I ask you a question?" Claire ask him as she was sitting up straight in her seat. Chris looks at Jill frowning and then looks back at his sister Claire. "Is it an irreverent question or?" "N-no. I was just wondering why now that it's almost the end of the school year, why do you want me to sit at your table?

Chris put on a straight face on but fails at it by letting out a small chuckle. "Hey um…Claire. Can you help me sharpen my pencil?" "It's easy! All you have to do is-"

He got up from the table and pull Claire's seat out from the table which she got up and follow him over to a small corner where the pencil sharpener was. "What's up?" Claire said playing with her fingers.

"Look," Chris started. "It's my duty to protect you. Stay away from Steve."

Before Claire can say anything, her heart drop hearing the sentence, Stay away from Steve. This wasn't the first time she had heard it though. Two weeks ago, she got into an occasion at breakfast with her father about Steve. He told her that Steve was a bad influence on her and that he controls her.

Of course Claire fire back by spilling her father's secrets to mom which cause them to not talk to each other even today. They both still live in the same house together but they just act like strangers.

"Oh, great. You want to act like dad now huh? Well, I'm pretty sure Jill will like to hear that you are in love with her since you two were in Elementary school." Claire started to walk pass her brother but Chris grab her by her arm and pull her back.

"Do it and I swear-"

"You swear what Chris? You swear you're going to hit me right? Do it!"

"What? No! Are you crazy?! You're my sister!"

Claire sighs and says, "Look, Chris. I love you and all but…please stay out of my love life. Bad enough I lost a friend last period."

"And who was that?"

She stood there quietly and glance at the floor. "Helena and I well…we got into a small argument about Steve."

"You see Claire! Steve is causing you to lose your friends and family."

"Chris. Please just shut up."

Claire went back to her seat and Chris just stood there shaking his head. He was a bit disappointed in Claire. "She just doesn't want to hear the truth…"

When Claire sat back down at the table, Jill, Rebecca and Piers were laughing.

"Oh yeah! Those were good times." Said Rebecca who was nodding her head smiling.

"So um…what did I miss here?" Claire asks curiously. Jill smile and put down her pencil. "We all were just talking about the time when we all sneak out at twelve at night on a school night to hang out in the woods."

"Remember when Piers screamed like a little girl?" said Parker who took a seat at the table.

Everyone laughed and Claire wasn't. She was looking clueless! But she was into the conversation because she thought it was pretty interesting to hear.

Piers tries to hush his friends by saying, "Alright, I have enough of this crap." They all stop laughing and Piers told them, "Look, first off. I was not screaming like a little girl. Second, I wasn't even screaming."

"Oh really?" Jill said trying to hold in her laughter. "Please explain why after you were screaming, you shouted out Daddy please get me!"

"Oh because um…I did not said that!"

"Hmm…shall I take out my phone and show you the video?"

"Uh no because I did screamed like a bitch and called out my father."

Everyone burst into laughter including Claire. She was laughing really hard. She found Piers funny and cute but not cute nor funny as she thought Steve was. She then questions herself why she even thought of that.

"Alright class! Please take a seat!" The teacher said passing out papers to the class.

Everyone in the group took a seat next to each other but left Piers by himself. "Hey! I don't have a partner!" He shouted. The teacher gave Piers a dirty look and told him, "You will have a seat at the principal's office." He flashes Piers a fake smile and Piers flash one back to him.

"Stupid teacher" Piers muttered under his breath. Claire giggled as she was solving a math problem from the paper the teacher was passing out. "Hey um Piers? You might want to sit next to Miss Redfield." "Oh right." He said taking a seat next to her.

"You do realize that the chair next to me was the only chair left in the classroom that wasn't taken right?"

"No."

"Claire and Piers! Please be quiet or else I will have to give you a slip of detention." The teacher told them. He looks back at his newspaper and Piers and Claire started laughing quietly.

"Hey, isn't he supposed to be teaching?" Claire asks in a whisper.

Piers shrug lightly. "I guess."

"Why isn't he teaching then?"

"You're asking me like I know."

"Sorry."

Piers look at Claire and she look back at him. They both were silent until a blush appears on Piers cheek which Claire look away fast. Piers hope that Claire didn't catch him blushing. This was the first time he was talking to a girl who he thought was cute.

"Don't be sorry. I was just-"

Claire cut him off, "No. You were right."

Piers and Claire smile at each other and they began to gaze at each other's eyes.

"Hey love birds!" The teacher shouted standing in front of their table.

They both broke off eye contact and Claire jump up a little in her seat by the teacher's voice.

"Hey um…you don't have to yell." Piers told him flipping the sheet of paper over to the other side.

"You two detention!"

"B-but! We both were doing our work while talking!"

"Oh really? Please explain why you haven't solved any of the problems."

Piers gaze at the paper that was in his hand and he put it on his table laughing slightly.

"You see what happen was…"

"Enough! You disgust me! Detention for you two after school! Three o' clock to six-forty."

"What?!" Claire and Piers both shouted getting up out of their seats.

"That's right. You heard me. Now, I suggest you both sit back down or else I will put it all the way to seven."

Piers shook his head not believing this was happening. He received detention before but not that long. He thought this was unfair and stupid because all Claire and him did was talk. But part of him thought that it was his entire fault because he started this whole mess by shouting earlier that didn't had a place to sit.

The teacher went back to his seat and Claire put her head down on the table. Piers thought she was going to cry so he pats her on her bag softly. "S-sorry C-Claire. It's my entire fault."

She lift her head up and looks at Piers. "No it's not. It's both of our faults. Let's just focus on our work."

They both work on the math problems and when they both were done, the school bell rang. Every student in the classroom jump up right out of their seat and rush out of the class to avoid the teacher from questioning them about the paper.

He notices how not one student gives him their work so he shouted, "If you didn't finish the sheet of paper then do it for homework and bring it back tomorrow!"

Jill, Chris, Parker, Rebecca, Claire and Piers were the only ones who went to the teacher and gave him their work. He turns to Piers and Claire. "You know what. Since you two did what you had to do. No detention for you both. Matter fact, only one hour. "

That made Piers and Claire smile. "Thank you." They both said at the same time.

"Whatever. Just get out of my classroom before I give you both five hours."

They both rush out of the classroom.

"Wow, can't you believe that he shorten it to one hour?" Piers ask Claire as he put his school bag back onto his shoulder which was starting to fall from his shoulder. They both stop walking and Claire laughs. "Yeah I know. I'm starting to think that he has some sort of bipolar problem."

"Or he can be going through a divorce."

"Piers. I don't think he's married."

"Well that pretty much explains why he's always cranky."

"Well uh, Piers. It was nice meeting you today. I had a really good time talking to you. I'll see you around okay?"

Piers nod his head and Claire head to her locker where Helena and Sherry were standing at. "Hey guys." Claire told them. "Look, I'm sorry about earlier Helena. I was being a bitch and I'm just truly sorry."

Helena gave Claire a warm smile and pulls her in for a tight hug. "Hey, want to skip class and head to the football field?"

"Oh no." Sherry said putting her hands up in the air. "I'm not going to cut class. It's going to be on my record if I do."

"Alright then, Helena and I will then." The class bell rings and Helena and Claire wave goodbye to Sherry. They both head outside to the football field and Helena and Claire were talking about their funny moments.

"Yeah. I remember that day. We made Sherry ate ten different bags of chips which cause her to throw up on my mom's carpet. Who was pretty piss off?"

The two girls laugh once again and then were distracted by someone talking.

Claire stops walking and turn to face Helena. "Hey, did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Helena asks looking around.

Claire took Helena's hand and follows the voice. The voice came from under the bleachers. They both hid behind a tree.

"What do you see?" Helena whispered.

"I don't see anything but someone moving. I need to get up close. You stay here okay?" Claire quickly ran to another tree which was really close to the bleachers. She took a peek to see who it was and it was Steve with a girl.

"Look babe. I'm sorry okay? I will tell Claire this Friday and then I can tell everyone in the school that you're my girl okay Rachael?"

Rachael nods her head and they both lean in for a kiss.

Claire's fist tightens and she became mad. She wanted so badly to go over there and fight the girl and then slap Steve in the face and then kiss him, but she knew that would be silly. Part of her felt stupid too because everyone including her own family had warn her about Steve but she just would not listen.

Claire's eyes started to sting but she holds back her tears. She turns around to see what Helena was doing and Helena was looking at her. "Well?" She whispered. Claire turns back to Steve and the girl who were now lying down on the ground making out.

She slowly marches over to where Steve and the girl were. Helena saw what Claire was doing so she just follows her. Finally there, Claire grabs Rachael's hair and yank it causing Rachael to get off of Steve.

Steve opens his eyes and sees Claire. He got up from off the ground and told Claire. "Hey baby. I'm glad that you've came. This bitch was kissing me and I kept telling her that I was dating you. What a slut."

He kisses Claire on her cheek and she smile but then it fade away. She shook her head and turn to face him. "That's bullshit Steve! I heard what you had told her! You told her that you will break up with me this Friday! Steve if you never loved me then why didn't you told me that? It's better than just cheating on me and planning on breaking up on me on Valentine's day!"

Claire went up to Steve and burst out crying while holding on to him. "Why Steve? Why did you have to do this to me?"

Steve chuckled, "Claire. I use to love you. But Rachael here is…well…"

"She's what?!" Claire shouted wiping the tear from under her eye.

"Rachael is much more fun than you. You were fun at first but now you're just boring ass Claire. I can't be in a relationship where I have to feel like I need to entertain my girl. We need to entertain each other."

Claire pushes Steve away. "Fine then! We're over!" She ran out from under the bleachers and Helena was shouting her name out. Running across the football field crying, she bumps into someone and falls onto the field.

"Oh, I'm-Claire?!" Piers help Claire up and she wipes her tears away more. She hated to cry in front of people.

"Is everything okay?" He asks with concern in his eyes.

"No. Everything is not okay. I just lost the love of my life."

Piers took Claire's hand but she pulls her hand away. "Don't. But thanks for caring." She went pass Piers but he grab her by her arm and pull her to him and gave her a hug. She buried her head in his chest and cried.

Helena finally catches up to Claire but sees Claire with Piers. Her lips form into a smirk.

For the rest of the day, Claire was silent. She didn't even laugh when Helena made a stupid joke. Usually, she would laugh but since her and Steve broke up she felt hurt and broken.

"Claire? Just forget about Steve. He's being a jerk." Sherry told her stroking her hand.

"How can she forget about him if she's in love with him still?" Helena put her book down on the table and Sherry shrugs. "Well sorry. I've never been in love before. So…"

"Oh really?"

"Yes really."

"Well, Jake's over there. Why don't you go talk to him?"

"What does that have to do with being in love?"

"Well, what I notice earlier this morning was when the school bell rang, Jake shot you a smile and you were blushing. Oh my God, you are crushing on Jake! Aren't you?! Don't you lie to me Birkin!"

"W-what?! I do not!" Sherry's face reddens and she got up out from her seat.

"Where do you think you're going?" Helena questions smirking.

"I'm going to check out my book smart ass."

Helena giggled and Sherry kept her eyes on her book. Without paying any attention to the people who was in front of her, she bumps into someone. "Sorry." She muttered.

Jake shot her a quick look and her heart drop. "Oh, it's you."

"You're clumsy too? Wow Birkin. Is there any more things about you that I'm not aware of?" He smirks and Sherry just stood there rolling her eyes. "Yeah, what you should know about me is I suggest you don't smile or smirk at me because I still kind of hate you for not holding the door for me."

Jake chuckled. "You were ten feet away from the door. No way I was going to hold the door for you and wait. Besides, I was running late for class."

"For?"

"Great, now you're curious George? Just what I needed."

Sherry laughs. "I'm sorry Jake. It's just every time I look at you…there's something…different….you just seem interesting."

"You know, the last time a girl had told me that we both end up waking up in a bedroom in bed naked."

Sherry raises an eyebrow and her cheeks flustered. "Are you flirting with me Jake?"

"No. If I was flirting with you then I would have told you, I don't have a library card, but don't you mind if I check you out."

That made Sherry blush more and laugh. "Stop. Just stop."

"Oh about that waking up in bed thing, I've never slept with a girl."

"I am not surprise." Sherry told him handing the librarian her book.

Helena was quiet for over five minutes now. She was tired of Claire just sitting there day dreaming. "Claire?" Claire stops day dreaming and looks at Helena. "You know, you can always get back at him."

Claire didn't say anything, she just started fiddling with a piece of paper.

"I have an idea!" Helena leans closer to Claire and whispered. "Why don't you get Steve to be jealous? Like, you ask one of your guy friends to pretend to be boyfriend in order to make Steve jealous which will cause him to realize that he had made a mistake and he wants you back! How does that sound?"

Claire bit her lower lip and thought it was a good idea. She clears her throat and says, "That's a brilliant idea!"

"So, any ideas the guy should be?"

"Yeah…someone who I met today…"

Claire smirk at Helena and Helena smirk back knowing who she was talking about.
