Claire's P.O.V
I slammed the door in Alyssa's face and lead against it. Shane. I had just seen Shane. Crap. I rushed over to the window and watched as Alyssa and Shane walked across the road. Ok Claire, calm down. I sat down on the couch and prayed to God that Sam would be here soon. Which he was. 10 minutes later though.
"Here" he said as he handed me some clothes, a hoodie, a pair of flats, a pair of white plaid sneaker like shoes and school supplies. With a backpack.
"Thanks" I thanked him
"Now here are the rules. Just one. Keep to yourself. Don't draw any attention to yourself. Keep your head down at all time" Sam told me "You start school tomorrow"
"Got it" I agreed "Just blend in"
"Be safe as well. I'll check on you every week" Sam told me
"Ok" I told him
"Also, here's some cash" he told me putting some bills and change on the counter next to us
Sam said bye and left. I Packed some cash and put my supplies in the bag. Set my clothes out and went to bed.
The next day I was able to make myself to the high school without getting lost. I had the hoodie hood up and I walked into the school with all the other hundreds of students going here. No one really noticed me so I guess I was safe for now. I made my way to the principle's office.
"Miss Harrison" I guess that was my last name here "So glad to meet you. Your grandfather, Sam, told me you were to be starting here. I'm so sorry about your parents" and now Sam was my grandfather and my parents are dead.
"Nice to meet you..." I said
"Mr. Wilkson. You may please call me Mark. I do hope you won't be coming to my office too much now Claire" thank god my name was at least Claire
"Mr. Wilkson" the secretary inturupted
"Yes?"
"Mr. Collins is here"
Mr. Wilkson sighed "I understand...Well that's all Claire. I will have the secretary out there take you to your first class"
"Thank you" I thanked him and left
On my way out I saw Shane in one of the chairs. He had an ice pack to his cheek. He looked up when I came out. I raised an eyebrow at him and left.
"Mr. Collins. Please come in" Mr. Wilkson ordered as I left with the secretary
"Well my name is Mrs. Potter" the secretary told me
She was an old woman, with gray curled hair and glasses. She looked like one of those cookie baking grandmas.
"Claire" I told her
"That's such a sweet name" Mrs. Potter complement me
"Thank you" I thanked her
"Well, here you are. Oh and you may want to put your hood down. Mr. Jones really doesn't like them" Mrs. Potter told me
I pushed it down and thanked her as she knocked on the door. Someone on the other side said come in and se pushed it open and I walked in.
"This is the new student" she told the teacher, Mr. Jones
"Ah yes Claire I presume" I nodded my head "I'm Mr. Jones, your maths teacher. You can have a seat in the back by Mr. Glass"
Great. I walked to the back and took my seat next to Michael. He look almost the same only younger. I rested my bag next to my desk and sat down.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Michael" Michael told me
"Claire" I said back
"Yeah I heard" Michael smiled
I grabbed a pencil out of my bag and Mr. Jones put a sheet in front of me.
"Pretty much we've been doing linear equations. Do you need me to explain them to you or something?" Mr. Jones asked
"No I'm fine. I learned them in my old school" Two years ago "I'll be fine thanks"
"Ok, then" Mr. Jones smiled and handed a sheet in front of Michael before walking away.
Halfway through doing the sheet Michael nudged me. I looked over at him.
"Eve wanted me to hand this to you" he handed me a folded piece of paper
I took it and slowly opened it while the teacher wasn't looking.
Hi, I'm Eve
I wrote down on it 'I'm Claire' and handed it back to Michael. Soon it was handed back.
Nice to meet you Claire. So what brings you to Morganville?
Think up a lie Claire. Sam had told the principle my parents had died.
My parents died
I handed it to Michael and then he soon handed it back.
Oh wow. Awkward. Sorry I didn't know
That's ok I wrote down
I handed it back and waited, but I heard Mr. Jones voice instead.
"It's very nice for you to talk to the new student, but please do while you aren't in my class" he told her
"Sorry" Eve apologized
"I let you off with a warning Miss Rosser, but this will be your last. Understood?"
"Yep"
"Good"
And with that the bell rang.
