The next day I walked my ass to school since my mom was working a morning shift at the hospital. I didn't mind though. It wasn't even that long of a walk, maybe around 15 minutes.
I finally came to a stop. Waiting for the cross walk to signal me that it was okay to walk, a fancy car stoped at the red light next to me.
"Are you kidding smurf? Now you look even more emo." Luke was next to me, driving some expensive ass car with some chick in the passenger seat. I couldn't tell if it was Claire or not. The light turned green and he sped off. Seeing that fucker killed my mood. Calum even noticed. I hardly talked to him nor did I pay any attention to the teacher. It was till I made my way to AP Bio where my mood changed.
"Hey Snow White."
I gave Claire a confused look as I took my seat. "What?"I asked as she giggled.
"Sorry you just remind me of Snow White. Lips red as a rose. Hair black as ebony. Skin white as snow. You're a princess with that black hair now. Well a prince."
"Prince Mikey?" I asked. She nodded and smiled. Fuck. It was her smile that made everything better. I've know this girl for what? A day? And she's already got me hooked. If only she wasn't with Luke. I don't get it, how is she even with a guy like him?
"Morning class! I will be passing out the rubric for your project that will be do next month.", Mrs.Jorde announced.
"A project already?", Claire mumbled.
"Yes Mrs.Waters a project. It will be a partner project so you and Mr.Clifford will be working together." well then. Hopefully this works cause I really suck at projects.
.........
It was lunch and I was sitting with Calum, far away from Claire's table. Though I kind wished Claire was sitting with me. Fuck I really need to stop thinking of her. For god's sake I hardly know her and she has a boyfriend. Speaking of the devil he was walking through the cafeteria now. Calum was talking to me about his physics class but I wasn't paying attention. My mind was set on Claire and Luke. They were arguing in front of everyone. No one seemed to notice except for me.
"Fucking Bitch!", Luke yelled and the whole cafeteria went silent. That's when I saw Claire run out of the place with tears running down her face.
I got out of my seat as fast as I could. "Sorry man, I gotta go." I told Calum as I ran after Claire.
I looked around the whole school, in every hall and a few classrooms. I was just about to give up until I found her at the soccer field. She was in the middle of the grass sitting all by herslef, hugging her knees to her chest.
I sat myself down in the grass next to her. "Claire are you okay?" She was still crying and only shook her head as an answer for me. I wasn't sure if I should put my arm around her to try and comfort her or not. I decided to just rub her back a little and she laid her head on my chest.
"I don't get it Michael I never did anything wrong to him. I never lied. I never cheated. I never did anything he didn't want me to do. I trusted him Michael." I could hardly understand her cause she was crying so hard but I did my best. I could feel my shirt soak up her tears as it touched my skin. We were in the same position for a good ten minutes until she finally sat up and began wiping her tears.
"I'm sorry Michael. I didn't mean to throw my problems at you."
"Don't be sorry. It's okay I promise.", she looked at me with her hazel eyes that were now glossy from crying. Her cheeks were pink and her lips were too. How could anyone hurt her. I wouldn't ever make her upset her like this. What did Luke do to cause this beautiful girl to break?
"Michael, am I good enough?", she asked me. I was confused for a slight second but my mouth started to process the words. "Of course you are Claire. Don't ever think you're-"
"Then why? Why did Luke cheat on me. Why do people even cheat? Why do they hurt the ones who love them with everything they have? Why do they call them names? Why do they hurt them?", she was back in my arms crying even harder than before. I didn't say anything, I just held her. I held her until lunch ended.
The bell eventually rang and she didn't move. She was finished crying but didn't move.
"Michael?" I looked down to meet her red puffy eyes, " Yeah?"
"Do you think we could leave for the rest of the day? I don't think I could handle being here for the rest of the day." I nodded in agreement. Slowly standing up, I reached for her hand to help her up.
"Quick question. How are we going to leave this place?", she gave me that gorgeous smile of hers. Even with puffy eyes and wet cheeks she still looked beautiful. She began walking towards to student parking lot, leaving me standing alone in the feild. "C'mon Prince Clifford the chariot awaits!" I jogged catching up to her and she was grinning. "What?" I asked.
"Nothing. You still remind me of Snow White that's all," and we were both laughing.
Claire had a little yellow buggie which I thought was pretty cool cause hey its a car and I don't have one. She unlocked the doors and took the drivers seat. I sat in the passenger seat as she was fastening her seatbelt.
"Is it okay we go out to eat? All that crying made me hungry.", I couldn't help but laugh. "Whatever you want. As long as you play good music." She began flipping through radio stations while I buckled in.
"OH MY GOD!", she made me jump in my seat. "What happened!" I was looking outside to see if we got caught by a teacher.
"Just listen.", she told me while turning up the stereo. And that's when I heard the piano keys begin to play.
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up,
Would you be the savior of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
He said "Will you defeat them,
Your demons, and all the non-believers,
The plans that they have made?"
"Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join The Black Parade."
We sat in the car for the rest of the song and I began to tear up a little.
Calire looked at me,"Are you okay Michael?"
"Yeah. I just still can't believe My Chemical Romance broke up."
"I know. It hurts me too, but you know what's gonna help us both?", she paused waiting for me to take a guess. "What?"
Pulling out of the student parking lot she answered, "Some pizza at my favorite place downtown."
