Panic! At The High School

Panic! At The High School Chapter 17

Brendon's POV:

I woke up very warm. Almost too warm, but not so warm that I'd actually make an effort to peel off my soft duvet.

I stayed still, completely relaxed for another twenty minutes before I realized just who I was in bed with.

Claire was in my arms. My arms. Not Patrick's. Mine.

I was internally screaming, but on the outside I was totally serene. I didn't want to move her and wake her up or cause her discomfort. It was almost like holding a baby. I couldn't do anything wrong.

She looked so beautiful asleep. Her lips were slightly parted and her face was totally calm. She looked younger in a sense.

I was staring at her for a whole 17 minutes before she shifted and slowly began to wake up.

"Good morning Bren." She smiled as she put her arms in the air to stretch.

"Are you ready for our outing today?" I asked, smiling too.

"Yeah, but I have to go home and get ready."

I frowned. I don't want her to leave.

"Are you sure you have to leave?"

"Yeah." She frowned too.

"But be quick, okay?" I gave her my puppy dog eyes.

"Of course. It's eleven now, so I'll be back at noon thirty."

"You mean twelve thirty?"

"No, I mean noon thirty."

I sat up to give her a hug before she left. A few seconds later I heard her saying bye to the guys and the door closing.

I fell back into the bed and let out a big breath.

Claire slept in my arms.

Ryan's POV:

I'm not happy about Claire and her date at all.

I already knew Brendon was going to taking her to the ice rink. He loves to go iceskating when it gets cold like this. Claire will love it too.

And that's why I have to stop it.

-

When Spencer and Dallon heard we were going to the skating rink, they weren't too excited.

"That's so gay." Spencer said.

"Gay isn't an insult." Dallon shot back at him a bit defensively.

But I got them to come anyways. Moowahaha now it's time to put plan #Clyan into action.

Okay. Maybe I did just give us a couple name, but so what? We are going to be so cute once I get Brendon out of the way.

Everybody paid for their skates and we started lacing up our boots when we saw Brendon/Spencer's car pull up. I got excited.

"Guys! Let's go skate!" I said cheerily.

-

Brendon's POV:

When I went to pick up Claire, I was pretty nervous. I really liked her, and I didn't want to mess anything up. I hope she likes iceskating.

I walked up to her front door with a single pink carnation to give to her. I knocked on the door and it opened 19 seconds later. Yes, I counted. She looked stunning. She was dressed in a pastel pink sweater and gray tights that hugged her legs beautifully.

"Let's go!" She said with a giggle and skipped to the car.

-

When I turned off the engine, I made my way over to Claire's side to open her door. She nearly jumped out of her seat and took my hand.

"ICESKATING?!" She shouted and started jumping up and down.

All I could do was smile. We made our way to the small stall where we bought our skates. While we were lacing them up, I heard a familiar laugh. I brushed it off and finished off my untidy bow.

Claire once again took my hand as we made our way to the ice. She looked so adorable while trying to balance on the slippery ground. She was wobbling around until she fell, but I quickly reached out to catch her. It was like we were in a movie. I leaned in to kiss her until I heard my name called from across the rink.

"BRENDON!!"

Of course Ryan was here.

"Hi Claire Bear!" Ryan scooted in between us to hug her.

"What are you guys up to?" I asked not so enthusiastically as I saw Dallon and Spencer skate over.

"We were just spending the day skating, but now we all can hang out together! I'm so happy!" Ryan almost squealed.

"Awe Ryan that's so sweet!" Claire gushed.

-

Ryan's POV:

We spent the rest of the afternoon skating and having a lot of fun. I feel kind of bad for ruining Brendon's date. Oh wait. I don't. He was going to take Claire away from me for the whole day.

It was nearing sundown, and everybody was about to drop dead from skating races and mini jump competitions even though none of us could do it properly. People were giving is weird looks, but we didn't care because we were having so much fun.

"Guys I'm sorry, but I'm exhausted and starving. How about we call it a day?" Claire asked.

Even when she was cold, tired, and hungry, she was still so pretty. How does that even happen?

"I have a solution! How about a round two of sleep overs? You can invite Hayley and we can play games?" I suggested, just wanting to spend another night with Claire.

Brendon lit up at the idea. Don't get too excited Bren.

"Yeah and we can-" Spencer sarted.

"No scary movies." Claire said firmly.

Spencer whined, but eventually agreed.

"Okay! It's decided. I'll give Hayley a call and we'll get some food.

"YAY!" I yelled and hugged Claire.

Little did she know we weren't going to play just any game. We were playing truth or dare.
