The Inside Story

Chapter 5- The Visit

*Claire's Pov*

I woke up to the most annoying sound ever, Ariana's voice.

"Claire Bear! Wakie Wakie!" I heard as Ariana was jumping on me.

"Piss off Ari." I groan, stuffing my face into my pillow. I just want to sleep.

"Claireee I want to see your neighbor."

I feel like going to Pluto right now, who wakes up a girl at eight in the morning just to see her neighbor? 

She pulled my blanket off me, leaving me as cold as ice.

"Fine, I will get up you." I said, flipping the middle finger at her.

I went to the bathroom and got refreshed, then went downstairs to meet Clark and Ariana.

I went to the kitchen and saw Ariana making her famous cheesecake with Clark glaring at her.

"Why is Clark glaring at you Ariana?" I asked, tasting the batter. This will always be my favorite cheesecake.

She smirked, "He is upset that I am going to see your hot neighbor."

He scoffed disbelievingly, "I am right here, you know? And what is the point of you going there anyways?"

Ariana just stared at him, "I am going and that's final. Anyways you are coming with me right?"

Clark crossed his arms, "No."

She mimicked his same movement, and asked, "Why not?"

I just stared at those two for the last 20 minutes bickering like crazy monkeys .

Until I had enough, I clapped my hands.

"You know what, Clark is going but Ariana has to help Clark with the grocery."

 Ariana hates going to the food shopping; she says that it smells bad there.

Both of them looked at each other until Ari sigh, "Yea I'm cool with it."

Clark said the same afterwards.

I smiled at them, "Now let make some cheesecake!"

By the time, we finished, it was 11:00 am.

I went back to my room and got ready.

I wore black sweatpants and a loose white top. I guess its lazy day for me.

I met up with Ari who is wearing a USA shirt with some ripped shorts. Meanwhile, Clark was wearing a white shirt with some black jeans, pretty much his usual.

I put on some vans and left the door following them to the doorstep of Ace.

I rang the door and put my smile on, remember Claire don't be rude, be nice. A lady who looks like in 30s or 40s opened the door.

"Oh hello, how can I help you?" She said, smiling at us.

I blinked twice, I have never heard someone so nice before expect for the people who work in shops or something.

I returned her smile, "Hi, I'm your new neighbor Claire."

She looked shocked and happy at the same time, "Oh my! Come in, come in."

We looked around the house, it was beautiful.

Ariana gave her the cheesecake, "This is for you, and I made it myself."

She placed the cake inside the fridge, "You didn't have to, but thank you very much."

She led us to her living room as we all sat down to chat.

"What are your names?" She asked us.

Clark finally spoke, "I'm Clark, and this is my girlfriend Ariana."

Ariana put her hand out, "Nice to meet you mam."

She gently shook it, "Call me Dianca. Let me call Ace and his friends down."

Dianca yell out their names, calling each of them down.

I swear once they came down, Ari said out loud, "They are hot."

I smacked my hand against my head while Clark groans. Really Ari really?

Ace smirked; I am pretty sure this made his ego grow.

He walked towards Ari but Clark stood in front of her and crossed his arms"

"My girlfriend buddy, back off."

I rolled my eyes and looked at Ari who was doing the same.

I got up, "Hi Ace, it is nice to meet you again." I tried to loosen the tension but that didn't work.

Ace completely ignore me, and imitate Clark, "Why should I?"

Clark and Ace had a glaring competition until Ari broke it up. She pushed them away from each other and rolled her eyes.

"You guys are complete babies. Clark, I am yours and Ace, it is nice to meet you."

Clark grunts while Ace just smirked. "Nice to meet you too darling. What is your name?"

She raised an eyebrow, "Its Ariana."

He was about to say something, until Connor beat him.

"Like Ariana Grande?"

Ari smiled, "No, it's Ariana Hannah Anderson."

He grinned, "Cool."

All of them started to talk to each other even Clark. I felt left out, so I started texting Jared.

[ J= Jared, C= Claire ]

"Hey, are you busy?" - C

"Nah, what's up?" - J

"Nothing much, just feeling left out :(" - C

"Aw, what happened?"- J

"Clark and Ari wanted to see my neighbor, now they are chatting with them without me." - C

"Smh, how could they?" - J

"Ikr! Dx" - C

This went on for a while until Jordan asked me a question.

"Claire, would you massage my feet for me?"

What the hell, who does he think he is?

I smiled sweetly at him, "No thank you!"

Ari and Clark looked surprised of how nice I was. To be honest, I was surprised myself.

Jordan put his elbows on his knees and analyzes me, "So you don't cuss or do anything bad?"

I did the same, "No I don't, I think it is a bad thing to do."

Ari and Clark grinned, knowing how fake that was.

Everyone believed me however Ace looked like I was lying, which technically I am.

I raised an eyebrow at him, but he just shakes his head and continues talking to the others.

We stayed for a while until I looked at the clock at their house. It was 2 in the afternoon; we stayed here for 4 hours. Damn, the time went fast.

I stood up, and stretched my arms. "I'm sorry but I have to go."

Ari and Clark looked at me but I ignored them.

Dianca gave me a small smile, "Would you like to stay over for lunch? It won't be trouble."

I shake my head, "No thank you."

She sigh, "Okay then, but please come again."

I laughed, "I will, bye everyone."

No one gave me a response; they all ignore me including Ari and Claire.

I smiled sadly and left the house with sadness in my heart.
