Claire's POV
I woke the next morning feeling tired from all the stress from yesterday. Like why did it all have to happen on my birthday?!
Algebra Class At School
Ms Saunders- "Hello Class. Welcome back from your spring break. I hope you had lots of fun but now it's time to get back to work. Please take out your homework and leave it on your table. James will go around and collect the homework"

Alyssa raised her hand.

Alyssa- "Ms Saunders can you please explain number 15? I don't understand it" she asked.
Ms Saunders- "Sure Alyssa. I'll come over to your desk in a minute"

James came over to my desk.

James- "Homework Ms. Claire?"
Claire- "Hey don't call me that and the homework is on my desk mr James"
James- "Haha. I was just kidding around with you Claire. Take it easy" James laughed and took my paper.

I guess James is a pretty funny and cool boy. The stress from yesterday is just annoying me. I'm sorry to anybody I end up hurting today.

Alyssa- "Thank you Ms. Saunders. So are we going to review the other packet today?"
Ms Saunders- "Sure Alyssa. I think that'll be a great idea. Ok everyone turn to page one of the packet from last week and James will come up to the board to answer the first question"
2x+6=10
James went up to the board and did the first problem.
James- "The answer is 4 Ms. Saunders"
Ms Saunders- "Excellent James. Now call on the next person. Anyone who you like"

James looked around the room but it felt as if he was eyeing me. I kept looking down to ignore his face.

James- "....Claire you're up next" James said and then quickly sat down

Ugh. I hate James so much right now. I was just praising him and now he just upset me again! Just watch what I do later on James. I went up to the board and solved the next equation.
12x+2=26
Claire- "x=2" I said the answer
Ms Saunders- "Good job Claire. Alright call the next person"

I called the guy sitting next to Alyssa who was raising his hand and looked like a nerd. Don't ask me why but I think he's smart so I called on him.

Lunchtime:
Alyssa's POV
I really think James likes Claire. Maybe I should tell her now. It's the perfect chance. I nudged Claire at the elbow as she sat down with her tray.
Claire- "Yes Alyssa?"
Alyssa- "I think James likes you" she said.

Claire just started straight at me for 5 seconds after I said that. I guess that was too straightforward and fast.

Claire- "Alyssa where did you even discover that incorrect information from? James doesn't like me. As a matter of fact I hate him"
Alyssa- "Why Claire?"
Claire- "Didn't you see what he did today? First me called me "Ms Claire" and then he called on me to do the next problem. He seems to have an issue with me for some odd reason"

I started laughing real hard.

Alyssa- "Sis that's why I think he likes you" I laughed.
Claire- "You're starting to make me wanna laugh too sis" I laughed back:
Alyssa- "Ok let's just move on for a while. I'll go ask James after school if he likes you though"
Claire- "What?! Why?!" she screamed but thankfully it wasn't loud enough for people to hear.
Alyssa- "Clairey this is all for my best friend. If someone likes you, you should know that. And I care a lot about you" I said holding her hand.
Claire- "Aww I love you so much sissy" we hugged.
