Chapter 2

Claire's POV:

I still cannot believe I got invited to a ball. A BALL! Isn't it something you do for princesses? Well I think it'll be amazing. I mean I get to enjoy the night with my really close friends. If they have been invited. I hope so. Otherwise I am not going. Well better get ready for the day ahead of me. I reach over Shane to get my clothes of my chair. He gets in my way.

"Who say's your having the bathroom first?"

"Well seeing as though I am the one moving. Erm me!"

"Oh I don't think so!"

I begin to run for the door, but Shanes catches up behind me and closes the door and grabs me at the waist. He turns me around and pins me up against the door. He lifts my chin with his hand and kisses me passionately on the lips. The kiss was warm, I paused for breath and he moved onto my cheek, and started kissing my neck. I felt his hand behind me. The next minute he broke the kiss and sneaked out the door.

"Everytime" He mumurs on his way out.

"Grrr!"

Cause' I didn't see that one coming. I make my way out my bedroom and go down the landing towards the stairs. As I reach the bottom of the stairs I hear eve sqeal.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! Claire Bear, have you seen this?!"

Oh she got the invite.

"Yeah, It came with the parcel"

"It is going to be the best day ever" Eve was jumping up and down with so much excitement, that her whole outfit was such a contrast to her mood.

"Is Shane going?" It was now Michaels time to talk, once Eve had finished squealing and denting the floor with her Doc Martins.

"Yeah, I think he is persuaded"

Later on that day.

I have to go see Myrnin today. Ugh. I love Science and Chemistry, but if Myrnin is going to be crazy I am coming home. Someday's I love to be with Myrnin but some he is to much to handle. I made my way into the alley next to the day house. I swear the alley is getting smaller. I make my way to the shack at the bottom, and once again it's padlocked, and Myrnin didn't give me the key. Being small has it's advantages, so I climbed in at the side under a peice of broken wood. I make my way down the stairs and Myrnin is stood there in his white lab coat.

"Ah, why hello there little Claire" He didn't turn around, those "superpowers" of his give me the creeps.

"Hi Myrnin"

"You're late"

"Myrnin you said 10 am, its 9.45 am, I am early therefore you need to get a watch"

"Time is money girl, and I have an excellent concept of time. Claire I must ask you something" He turned his head to one side, as if waiting for my answer. I didn't reply. He turned around and approached me. Myrnin placed his hand on my shoulder, and lifted my chin to look at him.

"I suppose you have been asked to this ball, yes? Well I don't have many acquaintances or friends who tolerate my craziness or sciences. So I proposed I'd ask you to go with me. But I am guessing that boy, Shame? Has been asked?"

"Myrnin it's Shane and yes I asked him, he is my boyfriend, I am sure you will find somebody to go with. I mean.. you could join me and Shane?"

"What and watch you two be soppy all night? I am quite all right thank you"

"I wanted you to my self" He mumbled, I almost didn't catch what he said, but I pretended not too hear.

"Myrnin, you have to go with somebody it's a ball. Why not Amelie?"

"Amelie? Ah no, she'll be with her 'beau' Olive eww"

"Well maybe you should go on your own, and pick someone when you get there. If I like you Myrnin someone else is bound too" I said. I didn't want to say it because I didn't want him to think I cared for him like he does for me. I sometimes don't know how I feel when I am around him. He makes me feel comfortable other than when he is after my blood, which I must admit I am not a fan of. But we have a lot in common, and he makes my brain feel accepted, and admired. I feel sorry for him, he is always lonely. I have to find him someone to go with, even if it has to be me, although Shane wouldn't be to happy about that.

"Myrnin I am going to have to go, I have some pre-ball arrangements"

"Claire we haven't even started" He whined. He tried the puppy dog eyes. He has definitely perfected his persuasion techniques in his lifetime, but it isn't working on me not today. I just wanna be with my friends and try and figure out what to do. I run up to Myrnin and kiss him on the cheek. He returns the gesture but reaches into me and gives me a hug.

"Bye Myrnin" I shout. He didn't reply.
