Claire's POV"Are you alright, Claire," Christy asked as she was driving us home"Yeah, just got a headache," I liedI had thought about the twins and Gwen the entire ride back home. Why did I feel sparks when Gwen and Steven touched my hand? Why did I feel betrayed that Stephen fucked Monica at lunchtime? When Stephen said he would take me home, I wanted to go with Steven, Gwen, and him, but I pushed my feeling aside and went with Christy. "I can't believe Monica would hit you like that," Christy said. I felt a pain in my chest just by hearing her name."Yeah, she has one hell of a throw," I said "It was probably just a tough ball," Christy saidWhen we arrived at the house, I went to my room and lay down. My head was throbbing in pain from being hit so hard. I went to the bathroom and took two Tylenol out of the medicine tablet and took them with water; then I lay in my bed."Claire," Jennifer said as she walked into my room"Hey, Jenn, who brought you home?" I asked. I felt terri

Claire's POVThe alarm woke me from sleep, causing a groan to escape my mouth in time to prepare for school. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower. After showering, I put on a blue sundress and brushed my teeth and hair. Then, I grabbed my backpack and purse and headed to Jennifer's room. Stacy and Jennifer were in the room talking as I walked inside."You two ready to go?" I asked"Can you fix my hair like you did yesterday?" Stacy asked me"Of course," I said It has been almost a month since Jennifer and I moved in with Sean and Tanya Knight. Everything has been going great. Christy and I have become really good friends, and I have also made others friends as well. Jennifer has been doing great, and I am so happy that she has also been making friends and hanging out more with people her age. She and Stacy have become best friends and hand out all the time.I have also become closer to Stephen, Steven, and Gwen. Gwen and I are really close, and we talk about everything

Stephen's POV"You think we moved too fast?" Steven asked"No, I just think she is confused about her feelings. It must be weird to her that she has feelings for all three of us," I said"We need to talk with her," Gwen said"What do you mean? We can't tell her everything yet. She wouldn't believe us and would think we were playing with her," I said"I know we can't tell her everything, but we could talk to her and ask her if she was okay with having a relationship with all three of us. Let her know that we have already discussed it and would like her to be ours," Gwen said"That sounds like a great idea," Steven said"What if she says no?" I asked"I don't think that she will say no. I can tell that she wants us and feels the mate bond. She just doesn't understand why she feels the way she does. We need to get her to trust us and the best way to do that is by letting her know that we want her. Then when we make her ours, we will treat her right," Gwen said"Okay, I think that is a go

Claire's POV "Congratulations, Claire, I knew you would make the team," Christy said We had just walked to the gym to find out if I had made the cheerleading team, and I was happy to see that I did. I hadn't been part of a team since my parent's death because I had to keep a job to provide for Jennifer and me. Tonya and Sean wouldn't let me get one saying that I needed to focus on school. It felt good having them care about me and Jennifer's well-being, but at the same time, it felt weird. Nobody had cared about Jennifer or me since my parents. The twins and Gwen were not in school because they all had a meeting with their parents. They said that they would come to pick Jennifer, Stacy, and me up after school, but I told them we could ride home with Christy. I could tell they wanted to come, but when I told them I wanted to ride home with her, they agreed. Thanks, I am so happy I made it," I said, and we began walking toward our next class, which was choir. "I need to go to the

Claire's POV"Hey, sis, what happened to your face?" Jennifer asked, and then I heard a loud growl. It sounded like a wild animal and startled me. I looked around to see if there was anything around, but all I saw were students."Did you hear that?" Jennifer asked, letting me know that she heard it too"Yeah, it sounded like an animal," I said"It was probably just a dog or something," Gwen said "I guess," I replied"So what happened to your face, Princess?' Stephen asked"Nothing, I just fell down the stairs while I was going to class,' I said"And hit your head," Gwen asked"Yes, but I am fine," I said with a smile"You need to be careful, sis," Jennifer said"I know," I repliedI looked over at the twins, Gwen and Christy. They were starting into space like they weren't here mentally or something. It was like they were having a personal conversation with themselves that only they could hear."Are you guys okay?" I asked, but they didn't answer me. I don't even think they heard a w
