*Claire's POV*

Ha ha, Tammy and Brittney had to keep Ally away from the plan. The looks on their faces yesterday were hilarious! I sighed as I step out of my bathroom and into my room, steam pouring out after me from the shower I just took. Today was going to be a good day. I got to follow Chase around and, after having a very intense texted conversation with Quinn last night, he agreed that I could talk to him. Really, it would be out of character for me if I didn't talk to him. I was so excited. I mean, Chase is nice, hot, and smart. He's like my dream guy. I checked my outfit one more time to make sure it was perfect before I changed. I chose my super cute pink tank top with the zebra print band and straps, dark skinny jeans, black high heels with silver diamonds, and my zebra print purse with black handles. I had to look my best, so I waved my usually straight blonde hair. After I checked my reflection in my full length mirror for the eighteenth time that morning, I ran downstairs and out the door to school.

***Time Skip***

I had met with Tiffany outside the school like usual, but instead of going out to the field like we normally do, we decided to hang out in the hallway where I knew Chase's locker was.

"Okay, I get why you're here, but why am I? My project is Adam," Tiffany said.

"Yeah, but don't you think it would look weird if I was here by myself, and besides I'm pretty sure that Adam's locker is over there," I said, pointing to the bank of lockers across from the bench that we were sitting on.

"Okay, I'll text Danielle," Tiffany said, pulling her phone out of her bag. At that moment the Davenports walked in. With Leo of course.

"Better text everyone else too," I said while subtly checking out Chase. Blue plaid button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, white under shirt, dark fitted jeans, and grey high tops. Damn that guy is hot. I took a good look at Bree, Adam, and Leo while I was staring. Adam looked like your typical jock, tall, dark, and handsome. Bree was pretty. She made the multi-layered shirt thing work for her. And then there was Leo… he looked kinda creepy at the moment because he raised his eyebrows and it made his eyes look HUGE! I focused back on Chase who was laughing at something, what I didn't know. They were still too far away for me to hear anything.

"Okay, I texted everyone. Danielle, Logan, Dylan, and Shane are on their way and Tammy, Quinn, Brittney, and Liam know to keep Ally away," Tiffany said, focusing her own gaze on Adam. "Dang, he's pretty cute."

"Great, now I have to worry about Adam too," Logan said from behind us. I laughed as Tiffany blushed.

"Hey, I think they're splitting up," Danielle said, pointing. Sure enough they were all heading in different directions.

"Okay guys, remember to be subtle," I warned, getting up from the bench.

"You're one to talk," Tiffany said, meaning yesterday. I glared at her.

"Just go," I said slowly. So, they all left to follow who they were supposed to, while I stayed there for just a minute. When I couldn't see any of them anymore, I walked towards Chase with a smile on my face. He was putting his bag in his locker so his back was facing me. I took about two steps to the left and leaned against the locker beside his.

"Hey Chase," I chirped. He jumped, slamming himself into his locker door which banged into the locker to his right. "Well, looks like I made a good call on going to the left."

"Uh, hey Claire?" he said, making it sound more like a question then a greeting.

"Hey yourself," I responded casually but flirtingly, flipping my hair over my shoulder. That was my go to flirting move, I just hoped it worked on him.

"So, what's up?" Chase asked, turning his attention back to his locker. I peered inside, partly because there could be a clue on the secret that his family is hiding, but mostly because I was curious. A quick once over didn't tell me anything other than he's organized. His blue and grey backpack hung on the middle hook, his text books were on the shelf, binders and notebooks on the bottom, and sticky notes saying when his assignments are due on the door. "Claire?"

"Huh?" I asked, facing him again. He gave me a look and I realized that I must have zoned out. "Sorry, what?"

"I asked what you were doing here so early," he said, grabbing a green binder. I couldn't help but notice how well the color went with his hazel eyes.

"Oh, I was just trying to work on calculus. That subject confuses me to no end," I said. It was true, I hated calculus and it hated me, but I knew that Chase was good at it.

"Really? If your confused why don't you just get a tutor?" Chase asked. An idea popped into my head and I couldn't believe I didn't think of it before.

"I would but, nobody would be willing to tutor me. They think just because I'm popular I must be a horrible person," I said sadly. That part was also true.

"Why don't you ask Quinn?" Chase asked, turning to face me. Yes!

"He tried, but he swore never again," I chuckled. That wasn't a lie either. Quinn did try to tutor me, but it ended horribly… I still didn't understand and he got a twisted ankle.

"That bad huh," Chase said, face softening. I nodded, and then looked in his locker again, but this time I made sure he noticed.

"Hey, you're smart right?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yeah," he said slowly, like he knew what was coming and didn't want it to happen.

"Why don't you tutor me!" I exclaimed, putting both my hands on his shoulders and looking him straight in the eye. I noticed that his eyes had tiny flecks of green. Usually it would be the other way around, green eyes and hazel flecks, but that made his eyes unique.

"Uh, I don't know-" Chase started to say, but I cut him off.

"Please! You would be doing me a huge favor and you did say that we could hang out… remember," I said, sliding my right hand from his shoulder, down his arm, and to his hand. I know I was laying it on a little think, but that was just me. It seemed to be working regardless since Chase got all flustered.

"Uh I uh… sure," he choked out. I squealed in happiness.

"Yay!" I flung my arms around his neck and hugged him. He awkwardly put one arm around my waist. I stayed there for a minute before pulling away, the warmth I felt from hugging him faded.

"So, when do you want me to tutor you?" Chase asked, pulling out his biology text book before shutting and locking his locker. I had biology first too!

"Um, how about at your place after school," I suggest. I could have sworn he froze for a second, his hand stopping in midair before he continued and spun the dial on the lock back to 0.

"Uh, sure," he said uneasily. He was definitely hiding something.

"Great!" The plan was going amazingly, but of course something… or should I say someone, just had to come and ruin it.

Hi again! Okay, so I've gotten one review so far (thank you LiveyHunni) keep it up! :)
