Chapter 2 Its A Boy Girl Thing!

Claire's P.O.V

Beep!
Beep!
Beep!

I groaned and smacked my hand down on my alarm clock, I rolled myself out of bed and sighed. I opened up my wardrobe and picked out some nice clothes, I think today I'll be wearing a nice skirt, and maybe with my white blouse and pink cardigan to go on top. Walking into the bathroom I court myself in the mirror, Urgh I looked terrible. I started to do my daily routine of brushing my teeth and washing my face. After that I grabbed my make up bag and began to apply some make up on, I wasn't the type to put so much on, I only wore mascara and eye liner nothing more. Once I was done I skipped down the stairs and walked into the kitchen, my mum was making her and my dad a cup of tea and dad was reading his newspaper.
'Hey mum, Hey dad' I smiled.
Mum turned to me and smiled 'Morning sweetie, sleep well?'
'Yes, thank you' I said, I grabbed the box of cereal, a bowl and a spoon.
'Oh dont worry honey I'll do that you go sit down' She told me.
'Oh thanks mum' I said as I took a seat opposite my dad. When my mum was done she passed me my bowl, I smiled and took it from. Before I could even eat anything she spoke.
'Claire? Manners?' She reminded me.
'Oh erm...thank you mum' I say. She smiled again and carried on with whatever she was doing.

My mum always tells me to say my please and thank you's. She says how it makes you look better and how it will make people think good of you. I guess she is a little paranoid about what people will think of us, but I dont see why. We are a good family and to be honest it shouldn't matter how we are as long as we are all happy. But of course I would never tell my mum that, it would cause a huge argument and you'll never see the end of it. When I was done with my breakfast I placed the bowl and the spoon in the sink.
'Ok i'm going to school now' I announced.
'Alright sweetie have a nice day' Mum says, I kissed her on her cheek before turning to my dad.
'Bye dad!' I said as I walked out the kitchen.
'Bye!' He shouts, I smiled and walked out the house. It was a sunny day today and it had a warm breeze to it, I sighed and walked up the path of my house. My house wasn't that far away from school, in fact it was the perfect distance. It wasn't to close and it wasn't to far away, and the best part is It was a good neighborhood The only problem about my house was that...it Shane lives right opposite my house. He's always playing his music real loud and it annoys me so much. I never really see him in the morning though, mainly because I leave the house before him and because Michael Glass picks him up in his car.

I turned the corner of the street and looked around. You never really see anyone walking to school where I was. I mean the school bus passes and you see people on there but, that's about it. Its only until you get close to the school you actually see people making there way to school. They are usually walking with someone though, and if they do walk alone they have people waiting for them at school. I walk alone to school, like I said I dont really talk to anyone. But to be honest I prefer it like that, I enjoy the silence of it. You dont have that annoy voice in the corner of your ear complimenting on everything they see. The other problem about walking is when you dont know what to say, if none of you dont talk it turns awkward and I dont like that.

I turned onto the next street and smiled at the old couple that went by. Like my mum said its nice to be polite to people. The only thing that annoys me about my mum is when she talks about my future. I mean I want to be a scientist but she wants me to be a doctor, she says that its a good job because you help people. I know its a good job and it helps so many people but...its not what I want to do. She doesn't really get the message that I want to be a scientist and to be honest I dont think she would listen to me if I told her that I wanted to be a scientist. Sometimes I just think that she's embarrassed of me and that's why she's so strict and para-.

I was snapped out of my mental babble when I felt water splash all over me.

Shane's P.O.V

I started the day off like any other day, I got changed into a black shirt and blue jeans. I then went into the bathroom to do my business, and of course brush my teeth and stuff. Walking downstairs the smell of bacon hit me, I grinned and walked into the kitchen.
'Morning Shane' Mum says. I sat down at the table and grinned down at the plate mum put in front of me. I loved having bacon in the morning, it just makes the day good.
'So Shane what lessons you got today?' Mum asked me.
I shrugged and took a bite of my bacon 'I think I have history'
Mum tutted 'Dont speak with your mouth full'
Dad started laughing 'Yer Shane you know how much you mum hates it'
I smiled 'I didnt know you hated it, I just know that you complain about it everyday'
Mum just laughed 'Whatever, just hurry up with your food. You'll be late for school'
'Already done' I said and passed her my plate, she kissed me on my cheek before I started waking out the house.
'Bye!' I shout.
'Bye!' Mum and dad shout together. I jogged down the steps of my house and looked up, Michael's car pulled up outside and he beeped his horn.

'Yo Shane!' Michael yelled.
'Hey bro!' I smiled I ran up to his car, I jumped over his car door and settled down in the car seat, I then turned on the music and Michael started driving. The music was real loud, but that's just how we like it, people turn and look at us in the street but we dont really care.
'So Michael you coming to mine for some zombie ass-kicking?' I asked him.
He smiled 'Of course I am'
'Good, I am totally going to kick your ass' I told him.
'Keep thinking that Shaney boy' He says. After a while of listening to the music Michael spoke again.
'You know Monica has been asking about you' Michael said.
I rolled my eyes 'She's always asking about me'
'I know, what's going on between you to?' He asked me.
'Nothing, and it will still that way' I say.
He smiled at bit 'I bet, you secretly fancy her and you just dont want to admit it because you want to keep your player reputation up'
I frowned at him 'Dude no, I dont even know why someone would fancy her.'
'Oh come on, she isnt that bad' He says.
I scoffed 'Michael she's a slut and you know it, she just wants to get laid'
He raised his eyebrow at me 'She sounds perfect for you, I mean you never want a relationship, just the sex'
I laughed 'True but not from her, she's too whiny and clingy and...urgh she's even annoy when you speak about her'
'Well I guess you have a point, she is a slut' He said.
'She's probably been laid more times then you' I joked.
Michael shook his head 'Doubt it Shane, she isnt that bad' He smiled.
'Well she's had more sex then Danny' I pointed out.
Michael burst out laughing 'I'll back you up on that one'
'And she's had more sex with...erm...-'
'What about her?' Michael suggested pointing at a girl. She was wearing a skirt with a white blouse and a pink cardigan to go over that.
'Dude I bet she's a virgin' I said.
'Probably' He says. I looked back at her and frowned, she looked so familiar to me and I really dont know why...then it hit me. I hit Michael on the arm and started laughing.
'Dude she's the girl that lives opposite me' I tell him.
'Really? I didnt know you talked to her' He says.
I tutted 'I dont talk to her she just lives opposite me. She's always complaining about how loud my music is and stuff, she is so annoying'
He laughed 'She might think your annoying'.

I looked back at her again, thinking about it now I dont think i'v ever spoken to her. I mean I hear her complaining about my loud music but I dont think I'v directly talked to her. To be honest I dont want to, i'll be wasting my time. Plus she is so annoying and she's always complaining, and everyone knows that you dont complain about Shane Collins. So I think its time she got a bit of her own medicine.
'Hey Michael' I said.
'Hey Shane' He says.
'Why dont we clean your car?' I asked him.
He frowned 'Erm...we have to get to school'
'Yer we can still go to school, it wont make us late' I told him.
'What do you mean?' He asked me.
'Just drive through that puddle and your car will be sparkling' I smiled.
'You just want me to splash her dont you?' He asked me.
'Yep' I say popping the P.
'No' He says, I sighed and looked back at her. We were coming up to her and the puddle right now, this will be the only chance I get to get her back for complaining at me. I sat up and grabbed hold of the steering wheel I then spun it to the puddle so the full car ended up splashing in it. The girl screamed and tried blocking herself from the water...but obviously that didnt work. Michael quickly pulled the car back to normal and I burst out laughing.
'What the fuck Shane!' He yelled.
'That. Was. Great' I said between laughs.
He shook his head 'She is going to be so pissed'
I shrugged 'What she going to do?'
He looked back at her and then focused on the road again, he then burst out laughing.
'You are so cruel' He smiled.
'You know me' I said.

Me and Michael had arrived at school, and I was still laughing. We walked down the corridor and made our way to our lockers. I threw my unwanted books in my locker and slammed it shut, just as I was about to turn around something went in front of my eyes.
'Guess who' A giggly voice said.
I sighed 'Jack the ripper?'
I heard the person tut and they removed their hands away from my eyes, I turned to see...Monica Morrell.
'Way to ruin the moment Shane' She says.
I shrugged 'Want really a moment'
She smiled at me and walked closer 'But we could have very good moment'
'And we can also have bad moment too, now if you dont mind I need to be somewhere' I told her, I pushed passed her and walked over to Michael, who was at his locker.
'Yo' I said.
'We have history today' Michael told me.
'I know we do' I said.
He leaned his head back against the locker and sighed in frustration 'I hate history'
I laughed 'I hate every lesson but you still have to sit there for about an hour'
'Oh he's over there' I heard a girl say, me and Michael both looked over at Monica and her little heard, they walked over to us.
'Hey boys' Monica smiled.
'Hey slut' I muttered, Michael elbowed me.
'Hi' I say.
'Shane we have history, and i'm in your lesson' She smiled.
'Oh...great' I say sarcastically.
She turned to Michael 'So Michael hows the whole guitar thing doing?'
'Its going good' He said.
'You know I think its great how you can play guitar' One of the girls say.
He laughed 'Thanks'
I sighed 'Shouldn't you be powdering your nose or something?'
Monica touched her nose 'No why? Does it need powdering?'
I nodded my head 'Yer it really does, I mean is that a mole I see-'
'No! Its not, leave me alone' She says, with that she strutted off with her little nerd. Right then our mates came over and we all started having a proper laugh. I guess this is going to be another boring day of school.

Claire's P.O.V

That stupid Shane Collins. He had just drove passed in his car and drenched me, now I am soaked. I cant go back home and get changed because then i'll be late for school, and my mum would kill me. So I guess I'll have to go like this.

Walking into school I scanned the place for Shane, he was going to pay for what he did. I ignored the comments people said and all the laughing I heard and just kept walking down the corridor. I walked up to my locker and opened it, I sorted out what books I needed and put the ones I didnt want in my locker, I then locked it shut. I sighed and put my forehead against my locker, where would Shane be? Where do you usually see him? I lifted up my head and began to make my way down the corridors. When I did finally see him I noticed he was with his group of friends, I neatened my self up and pulled out my water bottle. I drank a bit of that to clear my throat and walked straight up to him.

Some of his friends noticed me first and they began to laugh, I glared at them and looked at Shane. He was laughing with one of his friends when Michael nudged him and he looked at him, he the looked at me. I waited for all his friends to start laughing before I spoke.
'What is your problem?' I asked him.
'What do you mean?' He asked me.
'I mean why the hell did you splash me like that' I said.
'Oh yer sorry about that, I didnt realise you were there' He says, some of his friends started laughing again. I glanced at Michael and he stood up straight.
'Look, I'm sorry for what happened. I'll buy you a coffee to make it up to you' Michael told me.
'Or a towel' Shane joked, his friends burst out laughing again.
'You think this is really funny dont you?' I asked him.
He smiled 'Yer'
'How? How could you find this so hilarious? I am soaked!' I yelled.
He shrugged 'What can I say I get all the girls wet'. All his friends laughed even harder and I walked closer to him.
'You want to know how wet you made me?' I asked him.
He raised his eyebrow 'Didnt know you was up for that much'
'You dont know a lot of things' I pointed out.
He looked at his friends and then back at me 'Alright then how wet did I make you?'. He clearly looked amused.
'This wet' I said, I raised my water bottle over his head and poured it over him. Once all the water was gone I smiled at him.
'I make all the boys wet' I winked, I then stepped away from him and walk away from them all. For once something good happened to me after i'v stood up for myself.

Shane's P.O.V

Is stood there in shock, I watched the girl walk away from me. I dont think i'v ever been so angry in my life, I went to walk after her but Michael stopped me by putting his arm in front of me.
'Shane no. She's a girl okay? You cant do anything' Michael reminded me.
'I am so gonna get her back' I say through gritted teeth.
Michael laughed 'How about you go and get dried of first?'
I looked at him 'Do you even know her name?'
He shook his head 'No I dont, but she seems like a nice girl'
I stared at him 'I dont find this funny'. That only made him laugh more though. We both made our way to the boys toilets, the whole way there I couldn't sop thinking about that girl. No one has ever done anything like that before, and no one has ever dared to do that before. So this is why I'v got to get her back. The games are on.

So Claire stepped up her game, good for her. Wonder what Shane is going to do. Please comment your thoughts. Thanks for reading :)
