The Inside Story

Chapter 19- The Truth Is Out

*Claire's Pov*

For some damn reason, I woke up having bad feeling that something horrible is going to happen today.

I shake it off and went downstairs to see that Clark was watching Dora, like Dora people.

I coughed, "Enjoying the show, I see."

Clark quickly changed into another channel, "Claire, good morning."

I laughed and head towards the kitchen, while Clark followed me inside with a red face.

"You saw nothing."

I put my hands in surrender, "Understood."

Clark rolled his eyes and handed me a bowl of cereal which I think was already made for me.

As I gobble my food, Clark looked a bit frustrated.

"Clark, what's wrong?"

"Marco arranged a meeting with us between him and the Skull gang."

I started choking on cereal, which made Clark come quickly and pat my back.

Once I was done dying, Clark took away my cereal, "That is enough cereal for today."

I pouted at him, hoping that he will give me my cereal. However all he did was shake his head no and started eating it for himself.

"Clark!"

Clark looked at me with a big mouthful, "What?"

That is disgusting.

I cringe at him, "You are sick, and do I get ready?"

With approval from Clark, I went to my room to get ready.

I wore a black skull sweatshirt with black ripped short and black knee-high sock. I then picked out gray beanie and red combat shoes.

Yup, I am wearing black today to represent the hatred I have for all of them.

I sneaked my gun into my beanie just for in case. I know that Marco will have us be checked by Tim, his security.

I went to Clark's room to see if he was ready and saw that he was talking on the phone secretly.

I cleared my throat, he looked over to me and said goodbye to the person he was talking to.

"Claire, did you get your gun?"

I smirked, "Thinking something bad is going to happen?"

"Yea."

I laughed and patted my beanie, "It is here."

He looked at me crazy, "How do you even keep a gun up there."

I just winked at him and went downstairs.

Clark and I then went to his car to first meet up with the others at the gang's house.

As we reached there, I saw Jared and Ariana waiting outside for us.

Jared went inside as Ariana followed him.

Ariana hugged me from behind, "Took you long enough."

I stick my tongue at her and turned on the radio, Fight Song by Rachel Platten, came on.

I started lip-singing along with Ariana, while the boys just laughed at us.

Once we reached there, Clark handed us our scarves. "Be ready, you never know what will happen."
