The Inside Story

Chapter 12- The Treehouse

*Claire's Pov*

The Skull Gang is getting on my nerves was the first thing I heard as I entered Clark's office.

"Is it about the situation we had 2 hours ago?" I asked, sitting on his desk.

I made up with Clark a little while ago after a lot of yelling and throwing stuff at him.

He grit his teeth, "I thought they were smart enough of not messing with me."

Two hours ago...

After our fight, I went to the warehouse to see what everyone else was doing. I then saw a guy who I knew wasn't in our gang, hiding behind the wall. I secretly came up to him and got my gun out and hit him as hard as I could with it.

We fought for a while until the others noticed the commotion. They quickly hurried to me and helped me out.

We beat him up until he confessed who he was and why he was here. That is how we found out he was from the Skull Gang.

Now...Clark is trying to figure out what they want from us or that is what I think he is doing.

.................

"Why don't you ask them?" I asked before realizing how stupid that was.

He roll his eyes and went back to muttering to himself.

I heard the door open and saw Marco with a cocky smirk.

He came to him and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, "Hey beautiful."

I gagged, pushing his arm off me. "Claire is my name, try to call me that."

He smirked at him and started talking to Clark, who is giving me the signal to leave.

I rolled my eyes and left the room with the door open.

I heard a groan, which made me smirk to myself, serves him right for kicking me out.

I head towards the kitchen to get a snack but of course, Keith, one of our hackers, had to make out with his girlfriend.

I covered my eyes, "Get a room you guys!"

I heard a giggle and a door slamming. I uncovered my eyes, couples are disgusting.

I got a fruit roll out of the cabinet and turned around to see Marco standing there with his usual smirk.

I pushed him out the way, eating my fruit roll. "What do you want creep?"

"I was just wondering about our marriage plans. Do you want red roses or white roses?"

I glared at him, "We are NOT getting married, understand freak?"

He just laughed, grabbing my face roughly and whispering into my ear. "Listen Claire, I don't want to be rude to you but with this attitude I think I need to make a exception."

He kissed my cheek lightly and left the room, leaving me with shock.

What the hell just happen?

I shake the feeling off me and finished up my fruit roll, I am not letting him scare me.

I said goodbye to Clark and the others and headed home. I hate being in there when Marco is in there, his presence annoys me.

As soon as I reached home, I saw Ace smoking on his porch.

I waved at him, "Hey Ace."

He looked at me curiously, crushing his cigarette onto the ground. "What's up Claire?"
