The New Beginning

Chapter 4- Girl Talk (Clairs POV)

"Okay what up with the silence?" I asked as I spun around to face Jamie as soon as the guys were out of hearing range. "That Traycon dude was totally checking you out the whole time and you barely said anything!"

"Trust me I have my reasons for not talking to him." She said still looking blank. I wondered what had just happened.

"Which is what? He not cute enough? You think he is out of your league? DO you think he is a jerk? What is up?" I yelled confused. I would so date him if he liked me.

"We have a bad past okay." She said tears filling her eyes.Then, I got it. Traycon must been her ex boyfriend.

"So,you dated and broke up? I highly doubt that is bad past. How long did yo guys date?"I asked curiously. This was a need to know for weather I would be okay if I dated him.

"We didn't date."

"So? What is the bad past.

"I don't want to talk about it."She said wiping her tears. I was curious but I knew when I needed to stop. I had been in shoes like this before and the last thing I had wanted was noseys. "What's up wit you and Carson. I defiantly saw sparks!"

"I don't really like him like that. I mean he is really nice and sweet. But..."I said thinking about him. He was a good guy. Just not a boyfriend"

"But what?" She asked

"I don't know. He just isn't one of those guys I could see myself with. Bt, then again I have a tendency to fall for the popular player types. Not the best judgement. I mean that guy that is a jerk to everyone but me." I poured out.

"You want the bad guy that's only good to you. I am pretty sure we got a few of those I this school. Who am I kidding? We have a lot of those bad guys. Not real sure about the only nice to girls they like." She laughed out. She reminded me me of me . So full of life but she had that scared look in her eyes that made you know she had been hurt.

"Nice to know " I said" So what's up with that Alex kid?"

"Class player all the way. Best friends with Dustin. Just broke up with his girl friend Katy. Everyone knows they are both ceating on each other. I say they will be back together by tomorrow. You might have seen Katy today. She was the black girl with shorts 3 sizes to small and a tank top her boobs hung out of. She is the kind of girl who is a slutty jerk. Is on a mission to destroy me. Ring a bell?"

"She's the one that was screaming at Alex in the hall!" I remembered.

"That would be her. There is times I swear he just dumps her for fun" She said smiling.

"wow! how long have they been dating?"

"about one year."

"And they do this all the time?"

"Yeah, pretty much. She is too needy to find someone else. And he has too much fun playing with her to stop."

"Jeesh" I was shocked he seemed so sweet today. I didn't realize how much of a player he really was.

"Yeah, I remembered when I would hang with Traycon and Alex would be there he had a new girl every time even if he was dating Katy.It was crazy. I remember when Carson had his Super Bowl party last year and Alex brought this girl and Katy showed up. It was epic. Finally, After Katy and the girl started fighting and almost broke a lamp Carson made Katy leave. It was hilarious!"

"So your close to hose guys?"

"I was. It kinda goes with the whole bumpy past"

"Oh."

"Yeah, well I got to get going. My dad is probably waiting for me. It is almost 6 and I have to be home by 6. God thing it is only 3 blocks."

"See ya!"I yelled after her as she headed down the drive way. I smiled.

I Fnally had someone to talk to. A Girl that I could have girl talk with. All I've ever wanted was girl talk.
