Hey everyone. I'm so sorry with how long it's taken to update. My laptop broke while I was in France and I've had to wait till I got home for it to get fixed. You have all probably given up on me and I don't blame you. However the good news is that I have nearly all the chapters written for all my stories and all I need to do is type them up. Anyway I hope that you are still going to read my stories.
Claire stood outside her old house. She had already tried to open with her own key but it had failed. In the end she settled for knocking. She waited for about two minutes before a woman she had never seen before opened it. Claire stared for two seconds before saying
"Sorry I was looking for the Danvers but I must have the wrong house" She turned to go but the woman called out
"You have the wrong city. They moved to be closer to their daughter a while ago" Claire shook her head and replied
"I'm sorry but you're wrong"
"No, I'm not. They had a daughter who had moved away for university and they wanted to be closer to her. They were a nice couple" Claire rubbed her forehead and whispered
"I can't remember that" The woman looked at her nervously
"Are you ok?" Claire looked up at her and smiled
"Yeah I'm fine. Thank you for all your help" She turned away from the woman and headed back to a cheap motel.
Claire found herself in a cheap room lined with washing machines and tumble driers. She looked above one to see a painted message:
Dear Dork, We found trash in the machines and threw it down the chute. If you want it, dive for it.
Claire walked back and turned. Three girls were standing in front of her. The one leading was tanned with long black hair and was extremely well dressed. She smiled meanly and said
"Well look who it is. The dumpster diver" The two other girls laughed and the other girl continued
"Shouldn't you be in first period at junior high by now? Or at least getting your first period?" The other girl cut in
"Maybe she's looking for the clothes she left lying around. Litterbug" The dark haired girl laughed
"Clothes? You mean, like those rags we threw away? The ones she left cluttering up the washer?"
The girl smirked back
"Yeah those" The other girl smirked back nastily
"I wouldn't wear those to sweat in" The other girl finally spoke up
"I wouldn't wear them to scrub out the boy's toilet" The black haired girl turned around and shoved her away.
"Yeah, you know all about the boy's toilets don't you? Jeez Jen, Keep your mouth shout if you can't think of something that won't embarrass yourself" The other girl, Jen turned to Claire and shoved her towards the stairs.
"Go get your stupid clothes already. I'm sick of looking at you, with your pasty skin" The other girl cut in
"Yeah, Junior high, ever heard of sunshine?" The black haired girl cut in quickly
"Watch it" Claire suddenly felt unbalanced and as Jen lunged for her again and slammed her hand into Claire's collarbone, Claire slapped her hand away and yelped
"Don't" The other girls froze and the dark haired girl spoke quietly
"Did you just hit my friend, you stupid little bitch? Where do you think you get off, doing things like that around here?" She then slapped Claire. Without thinking Claire slapped her back, she felt two seconds of horror before she was punched and her balance went. She quickly grabbed the banister, trying to steady herself until the other girl stepped forward and pushed her backwards and this time Claire fell back with nothing to steady her.
Claire woke up panting and sweating. She looked around the motel room, trying to calm herself down but not succeeding. Claire closed her eyes for a second and rubbed her hands over her face. The dream was so vivid that it felt real, almost like it had happened. Claire shook her head. Of course it wasn't real, she would defiantly remember if she fell down a flight of stairs. But still she could not shake off the last part of the dream.
The black haired girl leaned close to Claire and whispered
"Tonight. You'll get what's coming to you, you freak. I'm going to make sure
Sorry to cut you all off. But please as ever if you like the story please review and say so. It's kind of frustrating to see people have read your stories but not review, so please do
xoxo
