"Come on Piers! Hurry the hell up!"
"No! I'm a bit nervous about all this!"
Helena and Sherry giggled and Claire rolls her eyes. She tries to pull Piers' arm to cause him to move inside the school building but he just wouldn't move. "I need a hand here!" Claire shouted.
Helena and Sherry went over to them and pull Piers inside the school. He fell on the floor and they all laughed. "Get up!" Claire shouted. He got up off the floor and dusts himself off.
"Claire! This is child abuse!"
Claire look ahead the hall way and see Steve with Rachael. Her lips form into a smirk. "Piers. Quick! Take my hand."
He groan and takes Claire hand while walking down the hall with her. As Claire and Steve were walking by each other, they both made eye contact but Claire broke it off by kissing Piers on his cheek and said, "Aw Piers! You're so funny!"
He looks at her confuse and told her, "What? What are you talking about? I didn't even say anything!"
Steve stops with Rachael to listen to their conversation.
Claire notice he stop so she quickly fake laugh and put her arms around Piers neck. "I love it when you play stupid."
"Um?"
"Let's go Rachael." Steve said walking fast away from Piers and Claire.
"I think he's jelly." Claire said putting her arms down.
"Jelly?"
"Jelly is a short-term for saying jealous."
"Oh…"
The school bell rings and Claire smacks Piers at his arm. "Hey!" he shouted rubbing his arm where she smack him at. "What was that for?" "That's for being a dumbass back there! Piers you need to step up!"
"What do you mean I need to step up? I thought I was doing pretty well!"
"Well I think you did pretty bad."
Piers sigh and look away from Claire. He thought she was being a bitch a little but he didn't want to tell her that. The last time he confronted a girl about being a bitch, the girl smacked him in his face hard. He learns it the hard way for calling a girl that. So he made a promise to himself to never call a female that again. "Alright, fine. I'd be a better fake boyfriend."
"That's the spirit!"
"Well, I have to get heading to my first period class." Piers went off to his class and Claire shouted, "You better pick me up when class is over!"
Are you kidding me?! Piers thought to himself. He kind of hated to be in a relationship. He didn't know being in a relationship is kind of complicated like Chris made it seem to him.
Claire enters inside Mr. Barry's class and Steve was sitting at her table. She seen Helena and Sherry just sitting there awkwardly. She went over to the table and smiles a bit. "Hey um Steve. Your table is over there." She pointed at a table he was sitting at yesterday.
"Yeah I know Claire. Can we talk for a minute?"
Claire looks over at Helena and Helena shook her head no.
"No thanks. Now get up out of my seat."
He did what he was told and went over to his seat sadly.
As soon as Claire took a seat, Helena quickly said, "He's totally want you back!"
"What did he tell you?!"
"Nothing really! All he told me was that he seen you with another guy this morning which means that you look like you moved on."
The two girl screamed and Sherry roll her eyes flipping another page in her notebook. "What's so great about having a boyfriend? I mean, isn't being single like the best thing ever?"
"Sherry. You're talking crazy. You see, this is the reason why you haven't had your first kiss yet!"
"What does that have to do with having a boyfriend?!"
Helena giggled and turns to face Claire who was smiling a lot.
Chris had called Piers name out for the past ten minutes. "Piers…Piers…Piers…Piers…dammit don't he hear me calling him?
Jill put her pencil down and told him, "Why don't you say his favorite food out loud?"
"Hey! That's a great idea! STEAK!"
Piers look behind him to look where the steak was. He see Chris waving at him and he sigh heavily. "What Captain?"
"Dude, I'm concern about you. Are you piss off at me or something?"
"No. It's just I'm a bit stress over about my fake relationship with your sister."
Jill laugh in the middle of a math problem. Chris and Piers glance over at her and she lift her head up and seen them looking at her. "What?" She questioned.
Piers shook his head and paid his attention back on Chris. "How can you be stress already and it's only been the first day?"
"I don't know…"
"Don't worry bro, I'd talk to Claire next period and tell her to back off."
"N-no! Don't you think she'd be piss off? Besides, her plan is working so far…."
"Piers look. Don't worry about Claire's plan. Focus on yourself okay? You're happiness is way more important than that stupid fake relationship.
"Are you saying that Piers happiness is relevant than your sister's happiness?" Jill asks curiously.
"Uh no?"
"Sorry. It's just because that fake relationship is connected with Claire which is her happiness. I mean, you told me that she's doing all this just to get her ex back right? So if Piers cut her off she will be heartbroken because she didn't get what she wanted."
"I can't with females…" Chris muttered under his breath going back to his math problems.
Jill laugh and elbow him in his side. "So you can't with me huh?"
"What? No! You're different from the other females Jill."
"Really? How so?"
"Dammit Valentine! You want details too?!"
Jill laughs once more. "Yes I want details because I want to see if you feel the same way…"
They both smile at each other and Piers cough which interrupted them from talking to each other. "Hey um, Steak boy here is still here!"
"Oh right sorry…so uh what are you considering on doing?"
"I think I'm going to have to stay with her. I just have to stay strong and deal with whatever comes up."
"Right."
School was over and Claire, Helena, and Sherry went over to the football field. "Are you sure Piers is in the football team?"
"Yes. I'm positive, Look! He's over there!"
Claire ran over to him and jumps on his back. They both fell onto the grass and Claire laughed. "Sorry Piers. You should had catch me from behind"
"I could had if you would have gave me a heads up." Chris help them both us and he turn to face Claire. "Claire? What are you doing here? If you're here to take Piers out of football practice then the answer is no. This Friday is our biggest game and I'm not going to let you ruin that."
"Chris. It's only for a day."
"Look, can you postpone your fake relationship with Piers next week or something? This is a really important event. If we lose this game this Friday then I can kiss my uniform goodbye."
Claire tilt her head and raise an eyebrow. "Really? Do my face look like I care?" Before he can respond to her she told him, "Oops, too late. Come on Piers." Claire took Piers hand and began to walk away with him from the team.
It took Piers a few minutes to register that the game this Friday is important to him. Not only is it important to him it's important to the team. He pull his hand away from Claire and she turn around and look at him puzzled.
"Are you- "
"Claire look. The game this Friday is really important. Not only to me but to the entire school and including the team. If we lose your brother will get kick off the team since he's the captain."
"Piers Piers Piers…it's only for a day. Wow, you're starting to act like my brother."
"Why are you being so selfish?
"Why are you being a follower instead of a leader?!"
"Well I'd rather be a follower than a bitch!"
There were silence between the two and Piers run a finger through his hair. Claire back away from him knowing that he was sick and tired of her attitude. For some reason, she hated herself for causing him to say that. Without saying another word, Claire turn around and head back towards where Helena and Sherry were waiting for her.
Piers knew he was wrong for calling her a bitch. He didn't mean to. He was just frustrated and annoyed. Piers call Claire's name out but she wouldn't dare to look back at him. She wanted to forget him, forget about that first kiss they both shared, forget about even going to him asking to help her out about the plan.
He call her name out once more and she still didn't respond back to him. "Claire! Come back! I'm sorry!" She stop walking but didn't turn around to face him. He slowly went up to her and reach for her hand. "Let me apologize…" Claire turns around and their face was close together. They both look into each other eyes and he press his lips on hers. Kissing her soft and easy like how she liked it.
He pulls away from her and put his hand on her cheek stroking it with his thumb. A tear fell upon her cheek and he wipes it away. "Things will get better. I promise. We just need to work together. Let's go."
"What about the game?"
"Don't worry. I'm only going to miss one day. Would it hurt?"
She shook her head and they both made their over to his car.
