"Alright. So let me get this straight. You two were fighting over a boy?" Simmons questions taking a sip from out of his coffee cup.
Helena and Claire glance at each other and look back at their principal. "Uh not really?" Helena says. "Really Ms. Harper? Should I play the tape?" "No. You're good." She told him. "I thought so. Well, you two have detention for a week!"
"What?!" Claire and Helena both said getting up from their seats at the same time.
"Yes. For a week! Now please get out of my office!" Helena and Claire leave the office and Helena turns to tell Claire something, "Look, as much as I hate you and would like to choke you right now. Can you like please not ruin my life?"
"Ruin your life? What you said earlier hurted my feelings!" "Like what you said didn't hurt mine! Claire, everything is always about you! Every single day! When is it going to be about someone else? It's not all about you!"
"I know it's just-" "Shut up. I don't want to hear it." She snaps bumping Claire as she went by her.
"Have you seen Piers?" Chris asks Leon at lunch. "Uh no actually? Why? Is he okay?" "I don't think so. Look can you do me a favor Leon?" "Yeah sure. What is it?" "If you see Jill and she asks you where I am, do not tell her that I went searching for him. Just tell her that I had lunch detention." "Okay sure." "Thanks"
Chris rush out of the school building and went straight to his car. He drove over to a park and went to go near the bridge. He sees Piers looking out at the lake. "You're okay?" He asks looking out the lake too.
"Yeah, I'm fine now." "I know what Helena must've said hurted you real bad man." "Yeah and I don't really care actually. She's like the rest of them. You know, I think I'm going to have to take a break from all these relationships."
Chris chuckled. "Dude you only dated five girls in your life!" "Yeah I know. Remember fifth grade?" "Oh yeah when you've dated that girl Celia."
"She was obsessed with me." "Yeah dude. She sleeps with a photo of you." The two of them both laugh. "Oh yeah. I remember that. Everyone use to call her a freak and I broke up with her because I thought so too."
"Hey, you want to come over in my place to play some video games?" Chris asks. "You're willing to skip school to hang out with me? Dude, you don't need to-" "Stop Piers. I know you're hurt. It's okay to be too. Now let's go over to my place and play some guitar hero."
"I can't believe we still play that." "It's our thing. I have root bear also in my fridge." "Then what are you waiting for?! Root beer is waiting for us!"
Claire was outside on the football field sitting down on the grass doing some of her homework. She stops when she hears her phone buzzes. Before she read the text message, she looked around to see if anyone was watching her.
Private: That was a nice fight you and your friend Helena had earlier.
Claire: Helena isn't my friend. And you were there?!
Private: Of course I was there. I actually was right there. Did you see me?
Claire: No. Who the hell are you? Just tell me!
Private: I can't tell you that. Listen, don't think I forgotten about earlier. I'm still going to kill someone and I promise you that.
Claire: Whatever. Look, I have to go.
Claire puts her phone away and started to put her belongs inside her school bag.
"Dude, you suck. I beat your high score." Piers told Chris. "I know I do. Even Jill plays better than me." "Wait, your own girlfriend beat you in guitar hero?" "Sounds crazy right? Yup. She's pretty good. I would love to see you and her have a battle."
"I'm down to it."
School ended and Helena went out the school. She went straight home and when she opens the door her father was home. "Dad? What are you doing home so early?" "Well I get to have a mini vacation from my job for two weeks"
"Oh well that was nice." "Helena took her sweater off and put it on the couch. Helena's father notices something on her neck. "Helena…what is that on your neck?" "Oh um, I cut myself by accident." She told him nervously touching her neck where Piers have given her the mark at.
Her father went over to her and Helena got up from the couch. "Dad. I'm fine." "Then why are you jumping up so fast?" "Look, I have to go do my homework if you don't mind." "Let me see your neck!" "No!" He pulls her hand away from her neck and sees it.
"Who did this to you?" "It's none of your business." "It is my business because I am your father." "Just because you're my dad doesn't mean you have to be in my business all the time!" "Who did this to you?!" He asks her once more.
Helena rolls her eyes and looks away from him. "If you don't tell me who it is then you are going to be grounded for a month!" "You know what? Fine! It was my ex-boyfriend alright? I hope you're happy!" Helena marches upstairs to her room and her father just stood there thinking what just happen.
Claire was heading home. When she was walking towards her house she sees Leon. "Leon? What are you doing here?" "Well I wanted to talk to you about earlier." "Leon, if it's about the fight-" "No. It's not. It's about Piers."
"Move" She demand walking up to her front door but Leon blocks it by jumping in front of her. "You two need to work things out." "Leon. Piers and I tried working things out. We can't even be friends! You've seen what I cause earlier! Besides, he hates me and Helena wants to kill me."
"Piers told me about what happen few months back." Claire's eyes widen and she slides her keys back inside of her pocket. "What did he say?" "He just told me everything." "Tell me what he said." "He told me how Steve abused you and you tried locking him up and the two of them fell in a lake."
"Did he mention anything else" "Oh about that fake relationship thing? Claire. That idea was stupid and it doesn't sound like you at all." "It wasn't my idea. It was Helena's alright? Now move."
"Claire. You can't keep running away. You have to face the truth." "But running away is what I do best." Leon steps aside and Claire opens her front door then enters inside of her home.
As soon as she got inside her phone buzzes. She knew who it was,
Private: You better apologize now.
Claire: For what?! I didn't do anything to you!
Private: Whatever bitch. I gave you a chance and you blew it once again
When she got inside her bedroom she threw her phone onto the bed.
Chris and Piers were laughing as the two of them both were watching Drake and Josh.
"Somehow, I feel like I'm a little kid again."
"I know. This was our favorite T.V show when we were kids." "It still is." Piers took a piece of chip from out of a Dorito bag. "If we were Drake and Josh, who would we be?" "Uh…I don't know? Perhaps you will be Josh and I be drake?" Piers told him.
"Makes sense since you're always kissing girls. The only girl I kiss is Jill." "I don't know if I should be insulted or flattered?" Chris chuckles. "Hug me brotha!" The two of them hug each other. They've both stop when they heard someone coming from downstairs.
"What the hell was that?" Chris asks. "Don't know. Maybe it was my next door neighbor?" "Piers, it came from downstairs. You stay here while I go check it out." "No way bro. I'm going downstairs with you." The two of them went downstairs and heard a thud.
"Dude, is there something you didn't tell me about? That you have some paranormal activity in your house?"
A boy jumps in front of Piers and Chris holding a gun out to them. "What the fuck?" Chris said putting both of his hands up into the air.
Piers done the same but didn't say anything until he heard the stranger getting ready to press the trigger. "What do you want? And why are you here? Why do you want to kill us?!"
"Shut up Piers!" Chris shouted.
"What I want? I want your sister Chris." He said chuckling. Chris and Piers exchange looks at each other and look back at the stranger. "You mean Claire?" Piers said scoffing. "You can well have her. She's all yours." "Piers! Have you forgotten that Claire is my sister?!" "No. But I figured it's time to do pay back at her."
"Piers! Wake the hell up man! This guy has a gun! He's dangerous obviously!"
Piers put both of his hands down and went over to the stranger. "This is probably a fake gun. Hey, let me have that for a minute." Piers aim the gun to the floor and press the trigger. He drops the gun fast and stays back from the stranger. "It's real"
"Look. I'm not going to kill you two." The stranger started. "I just want to give you a heads up on someone is going to die." "Who?" Piers questions. "Ask Claire." He said smirking behind his mask. Just that the stranger left his home and Piers closes the door. "Chris! We need to talk to Claire!" "Dude! Claire is mad at you."
"Like I'm not mad at her! Look, you've heard the guy! Someone is going to die later on so we must stop it."
"Piers! We don't even know who is going to die." "Who cares?! We just need to stop him before he hurts someone."
"I want to help too it's just…how should we start?" "By asking your sister!" The two of them ran out of the house and quickly gotten inside of the car.
Claire was taking a nap inside her bedroom. She had finish doing all of her homework and decided to chill and lay back watch TV. While watching some TV show, she had falling asleep. In her dream, she dreamed about the stranger who was texting her.
Claire sits up in her bed and sees a boy wearing a black hoodie. For some reason, she couldn't see his face at all.
"Get away from me." She shouted throwing a pillow at him. The pillow hit him of course but not hard enough.
He went over to Claire and took out a knife.
"No!" She shouted once more getting up from her bed running to the other side of her room.
Claire wakes up and sees Piers and Chris inside of her room. "What are you guys doing inside of here?"
"We need to talk." "Look. Piers. If it's about earlier than you can forget about it." "No. It's about someone. Some guy came into my house and pull out a gun to Chris and I."
"Oh my god! Are you alright?" Claire asks getting up from off her bed. "Yes, we're fine obviously. Look, he told us that you seem to know what's going on. Someone is going to die Claire. Please. Tell us."
Claire stood there for a minute and said, "I think it's time you know…"
Helena was inside her bedroom crying. She was crying about how she misses Piers. She regretted about telling him how she never loved him. Crying some more she heard her dad yelling. She opens her room door and says, "Dad?"
"Helena! Run!" Her father shouted
Let the crazy things begin xD
