Clara Jane Oddman. Her name kept playing in my head, and those amber chesnut eyes burning with rage.

I had several girlfriends,twenty or more were named Clara Parker or Clara May. But Clara Jane, she pushed me away, rejected me, no girl has ever done that.

Or maybe because I'm a presumptuous blockhead and automatically assume every girl I approach would swoon for me.

I asked Mason and the others to leave me alone. I had to think. Even now Clara Jane's glasses were still in my hand.

Grabbing a random passerby I looked him straight in the eye and asked

"What's that girl's name?"I asked cocking my head towards the girl who was now bumping into bins and people with her weird friends beside her.

The student I grabbed was a boy,
Dylan Ashwin.

Wrong choice.

Dylan freed himself and adjusted his clothes.Inside we knew the feuds that ran between our families.His father and mine were competing against each other.

"That's Clara Jane, my GIRLFRIEND."

"So she has a boyfriend."I muttered to myself. I felt a tinge of disappointment. I've never seen her before.

I have to know more.

I think I have to follow her around and find out things she liked. I am not being a creep, I'm just following a pretty girl.

I was thirty minutes late for Calculus class, we even had a test today. I didn't even care.

I didn't even bring anything with me except my car keys and a pen. With my attitude I wonder how I even stayed in school, considering I do zero homework, cut classes everyday, skip detention, have no respect for teachers and have a G.P.A of 0.

Stalking inside Mrs Jeffrey's class like I was king she shot me a dirty look.

"Please sit down Mr Waters. You're late."Mrs Jeffrey barked. I didn't know why teachers liked to bark.

"I was doing your homework Ma'am that's why I was late." I said politely.

"Then wherever is it?"

"I lied."I grinned devilishly.

The class burst out in laughter.Mrs Jeffrey growing red in anger ignored me.

Chuckling to myself I went to take my usual seat beside Amethyst Rivers, the prettiest girl in calculus, as well as copy off her test.

Amethyst giggled when I was about to take the empty seat but something else caught my eye.

Clara Jane.

She was seated in the last row and squinting seriously at her test paper.

Her seat also happened to be empty.

I ran over not caring I knocked over a chair and had never sat so hurriedly sat down on a seat before.

She was happened to be conveniently in my class!

Clara Jane looked up in surprise.

"Xavier? Is that you?"She whispered.

If I were to answer she'll know it was me. I remained silent.

When I didn't answer she smiled.

"Right this is a test we cannot talk."

Clara Jane was still squinting at her paper, she must have know I was staring because she looked at me again.

"Oh I lost my glasses today, I'm practically blind without them.You know who took it? Gale."Clara muttered my name with so much disdain and grimaced.

Gently I place her glasses in her hands.

"What's this?"Clara asked grouping her spectacles. She should get contacts.

Carefully I plucked her glasses and placed them on for her.

The utter shock and disbelief were clearly evident on her face when she saw me.

"GALE?!"She screamed in pure astonishment and horror.

I winked at her and stretched my legs against the table ignoring her astonishment that quickly shed to seething rage.

With all this talk and whispering Mrs Jeffrey hadn't even notice. Or the other students.

Everything was going my way.
