It's been a week since my kiss with Seth, and every time I think about it, I get so happy! But then I think about the message Joseph sent me.

Within this past week, I learned that Joseph got fired, and was about To be arrested, but ran off somewhere. Of course, I've told Seth about that, and he's been with me more often at school, and even outside of school. The only difference between him and my brothers is that he won't blow me up every 5 minutes. I am constantly getting text messages from-

Ping!

Clara, are you home? We are going to be coming home later than expected. Aaron should be home soon.

From Jordan. See what I'm saying? I replied saying I was home, and not to worry. All my windows and doors were locked anyways, so no one will be Able to get in.

I sighed as I continued to finish my homework, which after about 20 minutes, I was finished. I then decided that I was going to take a nap. I headed to my bed, popped in my earbuds, and fell asleep to some classical music...

1 Hour and 28 minutes later...

I woke up to someone shaking me violently. I opened my eyes, and realized that it was Andrew.

I took out my ear buds. "Hey, buddy," I said to Andrew. "What's up?"

"Clary, Jordan wants you downstairs."

I sighed. "Okay, Andrew. Thanks, bud."

Andrew waited for me to get up. He then grabbed my hand as we went downstairs together.

"Hi, Clara. Sorry to wake you up. I wanted to see if you've had any encounters with Joseph since last week?" Jordan asked. Of course he did.

"No, Jordan. He hasn't texted me or seen me since," I replied.

Jordan sighed. "Okay then. Your brothers are still going to be keeping an eye out for you," he stated. I just nodded as I headed to the kitchen to start making dinner.

After cleaning up the table, I went upstairs to my room. I decided that I was going to call Lisa. I waited for her to respond.

"Hello?" a voice said over the phone.

"Hi, Lisa!" I chirped.

"Clara! Hey! It's been a while since we've called."

"I know, and I'm sorry," I started to apologize. "Between the Joseph thing and school, and something else, I've been so sidetracked."

"Something else? Is everything okay?" Lisa questioned.

I started to blush. "Well, promise you won't tell my brothers thi-"

"OH don't tell them what?!" She asked excitingly.

I paused for a second. "Seth and I kissed last week..."

She went silent, but then, I could hear fault squeals from my phone.

"AHH YOU GUYS KISSED?! CLARA OH MY GOODNESS THATS SO CUTE AND ADORABLE AND-"

"Lisa! Lower your voice!" A woman's yelled through the phone, which was her mom.

"Sorry, mom! Anyways, Clara, that's so cute! Is he a good kisser?" She asked.

I giggled. "Yes, he is."

The next day, I walked into my math class as normal, waiting for the teacher to arrive. I got my notebooks and pencils out. After another five minutes, the teacher arrived.
