Chapter 4

Okay...It really sucks when you don't have a wifi. I wanted to search a fanfic but I can't search it. Sucks. By the way, now that Gray treated Claire so coldly, will their friendship remain? (Sucks, of course I think you know the answer.)

~Claire's POV~
In the past few weeks, Gray has been treating me so coldly, I don't know why he would do that, but I know it's a problem between us which I don't know. He wouldn't talk to me that much. If I ask what's the problem, he'll just shrug and go away.

But the good news is, I got more closer to Dr. Trent, since now he's having his lunch break at the Inn, and we often hang-out after office hours. Well I do like him a lot, he's a weird, jolly, and a funny guy, but he is also a very caring and an understanding man. Everyone thought he's so serious, but deep inside he is really kind. Well he showed me his kindness when I was down because Gray is treating me so coldly.

~Flashback~
"Oh Claire, what are you doing here?" Dr. Trent asked.

"Well, just reminiscing my good times with my friends." I answered sadly.

"Mind to tell me your burden?" he offered.

"Nope. I really need a friend right now." I replied.

"So...what's your problem?"

"Well, Gray's been treating me coldly and I don't know why. It started few weeks ago when Cliff revealed Gray's crush, and Ann revealed mine. After the payback time, he just walked out, then he later came to walk me home..." my voice slightly cracked. "I know Ann asked it and he just nodded, 'cause when he approached me, he had those cold and irritated eyes, and he asked me so coldly that I just want to say no. He usually walks me home and he usually does start a topic. But that day, he did not talk to me so I broke the awkward silence. I asked him what's the problem, then he shouted at me. I was so shocked. Then he started treating me so coldly that I can't even talk to him." I sobbed. " I feel guilty 'cause I think it's all my fault."

"No Claire, it will never be your fault, because you don't want it, right?"

"But I do not know what's going on him now. He does not tell me the problem. So I felt that it's my fault that our friendship is ruined."

"Claire, think about it. Maybe it's a huge personal problem that he doesn't want to tell you. Or maybe, a secret is keeping him from being good to you."

"What secret can it be?" I asked curiously.

"I don't know. But understanding him will help a lot. Do what he wants. Try to stay away from him. Maybe he will realize that he really need a friend, right? So just do what he wants and understand him." he said.

"Thank you Dr. Trent, for being here, as my friend." I thanked him.

"No Problem." he assured.

~End of Flashback~

We really talked a lot about things, I'm really happy that we got closer. But the problem is, when Gray's around us, I feel his cold stares shooting at my back. It really feels awkward when he's around. I mean, Ann told me that he always shot me or the Doctor a death glare whenever we're at the Inn and at the same time he's also there, so now it always feels awkward whenever he's there and me and Dr. Trent were also there.

I don't know how to rebuild our friendship again. I'm still figuring out his problem with me, but still, I don't get the answer.

I just want him to be my friend again. My day is not complete without him.

~Gray's POV~
It's been 2 weeks and a half since I started treating her like that. I don't like seeing her so lonely, but I'm hurt everytime I see her. I don't know why, I do only have a crush on her, but why am I hurt?

Anyways, that STUPID doctor started taking lunch breaks at the inn, so it means, he does have more time to chat with Claire. Sucks! So frustrating.

My life's so good, right? Seeing Claire with that stupid doctor makes my heart shatter into pieces. As I see her smile, laugh, or talk with the Doctor, a knife stabs my heart that I could be dead. Everytime that Doctor makes Claire smile, I want to kill him with my fork.

As if they noticed that I was shooting daggers to them. I mean, I always shot them a death glare. Ann noticed it and teased me.

"So you do not have a crush on Mary, huh? It's Claire, I think. Ahahahahaha, you're such a jelly, hahahaha!"

"Shut up! You don't know what you say." I pointed my fork to her.

"Oh, try hurting me or I'll tell Dad to throw you out of this Inn." she warned.

"Okay, but please stop teasing teasing me, you're so irritating."

"You're so jealous, I can see in your eyes."

"Maybe, yeah, yes. Everytime I see them, I want to kill the doctor."

"Hahaha. Then why don't you stop treating her like that?"

"I think she'll come to me if I act this way."

"Okay, if you think so." she cackled.

Ann really sucks. But what if...
No Gray, she'll come to you, okay? I'm nervous, this really sucks.
