Friends With Benefits

2) Plans

(Jordan's P.O.V)

Durning history class I managed to finish my work but the rest of the time I couldn't help but see Claire look down .

I have to tell her I like her today! I thought to myself.

As soon as the bell rung, I gathered all my belongings and walked over to Claire.

When she turned around I couldn't help but smile.

"Hey" she said.

"What's up, so I was thinking we could hang out after soccer practice today. what do you say?"

"Sure, but after school I have to finish some history homework then I have to help Cassidy with her science project.

" Okay that works, see ya later then".

Afterwards, I walked away and met up with Kyle, another friend of mine. then we both walked to class.

The rest of the day I zoned out and thought about how and what I would tell Claire that I liked her. In the end I planned to talk to her privately.

Then I got in my black mustang and drove home to pickup my gear, then headed to the fields.

( Claire's P.O.V)

After the bell rang for school to get out I walked home. Once I got home I grabbed a quick snack and ran up to my room to get started on homework. I had the house to myself for awhile I knew my sister got out 30 minutes later than I did. Then there's my dad,of course who won't get out of work till 9.

So I ran upstairs to my bedroom.

Once I got to my room, I plopped down on my big bed. now that I was alone I cried for like for awhile. I am one of those people that build everything up inside. All my feelings, bad days, and secrets. I knew I could tell Jordan anything but some things I felt I needed to keep to myself. I don't how how I started crying or when I stopped but after awhile of having everything inside you keep stacking up a little thing just makes you blow. and everything comes out.

After wiping my tears and re-doing my makeup I started on my research paper for English class that is due in two days.

I was almost finished with my paper when I heard a knock downstairs. I got up and ran downstairs I opened the door to find my sister Cassidy. I was a little concerned to find her alone.

Cassidy didn't go to my school. Her school was a little further down from mine, so after school Sasha goes to pick her up. I didn't see Sasha or any car parked out front so I asked

" Where's Sasha? Didn't she pick you up?"

" No, she forgot...again!"

" So you just walked home alone!?" I said in the same angry tone my sister was using.

" Ya", she said back.

"Why didn't you call me? I could've gone to pick you up".

" It's fine I needed some time alone" said she cooling down a little.

" Oh...anything happen today?" I said a little calmer.

" No, nothing much just some mean girls. Same old, Same old" she said.

" Cassidy, you can't let those girls still pick on you. Stand up. I hate to see you like this.

" Ya, I know" I said turning away.

Just then I heard the garage door opening. I figured it was probably Sasha just barely getting home. Then I heard a car door shut too. after a few minutes the back door opened and Sasha came in with 5 bags on each arm.

When I saw her I became angry again. How could she go shopping and forget to get Cassidy!

"Hey girls can you help me with my bags?" Sasha said obviously happy with herself.

" Claire calm down, it was a simple mistake. Look Cassidy is alright, so no harm done."

How dare that women go shopping instead of picking my sister up from school. Cassidy could've been hurt! Sasha is all smiles and giggles when she gets her way or when we have company over but when were alone with her (which is most of the time) she could care less about us. In my head I continued to think badly about my step mom but in reality I was quiet and obeyed orders. I set down the bags on the dinning room table. Then I quietly left the room before I said something I wasn't supposed to.

When I was back in my room, I laid back on my bed. I went back to working on my assignments.

I must have dozed off because before I knew it, It was 5 o'clock. Great! I was going to be late meeting Jordan.

I quickly grabbed my car keys and purse and ran out the door yelling I would be back in a little while.

It took my 5 minutes to get to the fields where Jordan's practices are. I caught him in time too. He was packing up. I got out of my car and walked towards Jordan.
