In My Dreams

45: Jealousy

Claire's POV

"Hey, Claire!"

"Hey, Claire! What's up?"

"Claire, how you doin'?!"

Every guy kept asking me how am I right now. I'm not sick! What's going on?

"Hey, I'm good," I replied again and again.

I was then grabbing my books inside my locker when I felt warmth and comfort against my back.... A totally familiar feeling.

"Hey," Liam's deep and husky voice started. "What's up?"

I blushed and slowly turned around. "I'm good."

"....now that you're here," I shyly added.

"Thanks. I'm also happy now that I'm finally with y-" He didn't get a chance to finish when a loud voice of a different guy echoed.

"Hey, Claire! What's your next class?" a guy, who I think is Daniel Smith asked.

I then recalled my schedule and answered, "Um...music."

He then made a disappointed look and left with an "Oh."

I then returned my attention to Liam and saw him looking at Daniel with a dirty look.

"Lee, what's wrong?"

"Huh...n-nothing," he shrugged when his eyes lit up like a spot light.

"Hey! I remember you telling me that you'll tell me what happened inside the comfort room a while ago," he recalled while I start to show a look of fear.

"Umm....well....erm," I stammered.

Liam then chuckled. "Come on, what is it?"

I sighed and gave in. I have to tell him....

"While I was in the comfort room, I saw Ashley there and she started giving me dirty looks, she looks mas at me. That's when it happened, she started snapping at me that you're....hers."

He stared at me in shock but then strolled closer to me with a recovered expression.

"I'm sorry," he apologized as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

I smiled questioningly and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Why are you apologizing?"

"Ashley's mad at you because of her craziness."

I smiled weakly. "It's okay."

He then smiled as the bell rang loudly, causing me to cringe lightly.

"So, walk you to next class?" Liam offered.

"Sure." We then headed to music class hand in hand.

"Okay, class! Silence!" Mrs. Martin yelled, in order to get the whole attention of the class.

Everyone fell silent, a bit shocked of Mrs. Martin loud voice.

"Okay, so today, we'll be singing songs sung by male singers. Tomorrow, female singers," she announced.

She then half-raised an eyebrow, pausing, and looking at the whole class in order to see if the whole class is even paying attention.

She fixed her posture, straightening herself. "We have Chris Brown, The Wanted, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Iyaz, Eminem, Backstreet Boys, and One Direction songs since I know you won't like singers in my time and year."

"Of course," Ashley piped in rudely.

"I know that, Ms. Mallet," our music teacher agreed in a strained voice.
