Chapter 5

Today was friday so after school Ari and Adam have invited me to go to see a movie so I'm pretty excited."Auntie ,Ari and Adam have invited me to go to the movies .Can I go?" I asked my aunt before getting out of the car . "Yeah sure sweetie" she said . I nodded and said goodbye then entered the school.

I met my Ari at my locker"Hey Ari , how are you" I said after hugging her."I'm great. Did you ask your aunt about coming to the movies" Ari asked."Yeah she said yes." I said. "That's good" she said while smiling. "Hey where is Adam?" I asked ."Here I am !"Adam said from behind me. I tensed . When Adam saw that he bursted out laughing , I glared at him while Ari was lecturing him . The bell rang so everyone made their way way to their classes.

I have physics class ,I'm actually looking forward to it since I actually enjoy physics.

As I entered the class I saw that Alec was already there ,I just ignored him and sat down. His actions are really confusing,sometimes he's nice and sometimes he just ignores me. "Hey Claire?" Alec said. "Hmmm?" I hummed, " I need to talk to you after school."he asked. I looked at him with a confused face but just nodded and focused on the teacher.

Time Skip to after school

The ring for the last period was done and everyone made their way out of their classes. As I made my way outside. "Hey Claire!Wait up! " Alec said. " Oh hey , what did you want to talk about?" I asked. " Can we go to a more private place?" he asked. I nodded and we made our way to the football field.

"So what is it?" I asked Alec. "I just want to say that I''m sorry about how I treated you , it has been a rough time. And I want to be your friend." He said. I looked at him and thought about it for a bit then nodded."You have been an ass " I said and looked him in the eyes. He looked defeated and was about to say something. "But if I will get to know you, but no promises " I said before he could say anything. " Ok , that's all I ask" Alec said with a smile. "Ok then I have to go , see ya" I said and left.

"Hey auntie" I said as I entered the car. "Hey sweetheart, how was your day?" Aunt Vivi asked. "It's been good,nothing much happened." I answered . She nodded and made our way to our home.

Once we reached our home I made my way to my room. I put my stuff down and laid on the bed . I slowly felt myself falling asleep but before I completely fell asleep I heard my phone ring, I groaned and picked it up. "Hey Claire I just wanted to ask you if I can come over before going to the movies so we can get ready?"She asked. "Hey Ari , I'll ask my aunt but she'll probably say yes." I said, "ok " Ari said and then we said our goodbyes and I hung upnthe phone.

I went down to the kitchen and saw my aunt cutting some fruit."Hey auntie , can my Ari come over before we go to the movies?" I asked before taking a bottle of water out of the fridge." Sure, but I want you home before 11pm , k?" she said then handed me a plate with fruit on it. I nodded and thanked her fro the fruit.

I went upstairs and texted Ari that my aunt said yes. Then we decided that she will come over at six. I put my phone on the charger and did my homework as I ate my fruit.

Time Skip

I just got out of the shower when I heard the bell ring. i went to open the door and I saw Ari. " Hey Ari , come on in " I said and hugged her . " You have a beautiful home , Claire." Ari said . " Thank you but this is my aunt's house" I said. "Nonsense this is your home too, Claire " Aunt Vivi said as she came down the stairs."Hello I'm Vivi-anne, I'm Claire's aunt." she said. " Hello ma'am . I'm Ari ,Clair's friend. You have a beautiful home" Ari said. "Thank you sweetheart , if you need anything I'm gonna be down here."aunt Vivi said then went to the living room.

"Oh wow, I didn't know you could be so polite " I said to Ari with a giggle ." Hey I can be polite when I need to" Ari said while bumping my shoulder. I laughed and showed her the way to my room.

"You have a huge bed!" Ari exclaimed and laid on it. I laughed "Ok what should I wear I have no idea what to wear." I said. "Hmm , let's see. " she said and walked over to my closet. " Ok here you go ." Ari said and threw some clothes at me. I looked at what she threw it was high-waisted jeans with a crop top."Nice" I said and went to change.

.....

As I was putting in some light make-up I saw that Ari looked like she was troubled. "Ari,what is it?" I asked her."No ,it's nothing" she said. I stopped and looked at her "Ari you're my friend , you can ask me anything even if it may be personal ." I told her with a smile. "I don't want to over step any boundaries" Ari said. When she said that I realised what she was wondering , "You are wondering where my parents are, right?" I said with a smile. She looked at me and nodded. " my parents have a job that requires them to travel , their latest job requires them to tavel for a year and they don't want me to be alone so they sent me to live with my aunt." I said with a sad smile." Oh Claire-bear, I'm sorry" she said. "No it's okay , I'm used to it. It's just that they jst try to win me over with expensive stuff. They told my aunt to buy me a car!" I exclaimed. Ari shook her head and hugged me. I hugged her back .

"Claire-bear? What is that about?" I said with a laugh."Well my real name is Arianna but my nickname is Ari so I thought you need a nickname." she said. I nodded and went back to getting ready.
