Chapter 1
(Claire's point of view)
"Wake up, Claire! We will be late!" I heard kate shout as I grumbled in bed. I got up and headed to the bathroom. I looked at my reflection, sleepy. My red hair was super messy. My makeup from yesterday was still there except with the massacre all over my cheeks. I washed my face and struggled as I removed the makeup. I got under the water but of course peace can not be there with Kate about to break the door. "Okay! Okay! I am coming!" I shouted back so she would stop the knocking. It was her first day of high school. She was a senior now. I got to my room and took my jeans and my red V-line neck blouse out. I brushed my hair and applied some massacre and a red lipstick. I got my black boots on. I went downstairs fast so Kate won't murder my ass. "Come on!" She said angrily. I grabbed a sandwich that mom made me. "Bye guys!" I said to mom and dad as I ran after kate. I grabbed my coat as we rushed outside to the car. It was snowing. Too cold for the first day of school. Sometimes I thank god I already finished all this shit. We got into the car. I turned on the engine as I took a bite from my sandwich. "Why are you so excited for high school?" I said as we drove to her school. "Why are you always so late?" She said as she looked from the window. "At least I praise sleep more than school!" I said as I looked at her. She smirked a bit. I always knew how to make her laugh. "I will see you after school! Good luck!" I said as she went down from the car. "Bye." She said as she closed the door. I drove to my work. More like my tourer place! I work as a manager for one of the biggest song producers company. But I hate music. A lot! I stopped by to get some coffee more like some sleep. My damn phone took away my nap. "What?" I said in my sleepy voice. "Good morning babygirl!" I heard him say. And that would be Albert Brat. My boyfriend since college. It has been 2 years. Well, we love each other. So much actually. "Hey." I said as I took a sip from my coffee. "How are you doing?" He said happily. Albert was always being the best boyfriend any girl would wish for. I mean he always knew how to change my mood. I got up and walked to my car. "I am fine." I said as I turned the engine on. "Well, I have a surprise for you. Can we meet after you finish work?" He said. I never liked getting his hopes down. "Yea... I have to pick up Kate or she might murder my ass." I said as I parked my car. "Okay. Call you later." He said. I knew he would be mad later. I mean the tone said it all. "Bye. Love you." I said as we hung up. I got out from my car and went into the company. I had a really fancy desk. I mean I am a manger, aren't I? I had a couple of shitty meetings. Full of singers and ego. Ugh! Wish I could leave this job.
After 5 long ass meetings, at last my last one. It was already 2:00 pm. Kate finishes school at 2:30 pm. So I guessed I should go before this one ends. "Hello, Miss Claire Collins. Let's begin." Mr. Andrew Gertler said. He was one of the biggest mangers that we work for. "This is Shawn Mendes. He will be making his new album for your company." He said pointing to a tall guy with curly almost dark brown hair with light skin and a muscular body. He smiled to me as we shook hands. There was a scar on his left cheek when he smiled. "Welcome both of you." I said as we sat to the meetings table. "Sir, I might be asking you to leave a bit early." I whispered to Mr. Andrew. "Why?" He whispered back. "I have to pick my sister up from school. Or she might kill me." I whispered. He smirked a bit while nodding. We talked about the album and the songs in it. Shawn kept looking at me. Well, I kinda of did the same. Don't blame me. He was hot.
"Right at the time?" I said as she hopped into the car. "Yeah!" She said happily. "Well someone had a good a day?!" I said as we drove. "Well. Hunter Millers talked to me today." She said smiling. "Oh! Isn't this the guy you have been crushing on sine your freshmen year?" I said looking at the way. "Hahaa! Very funny, Claire!" She said in a silly tone. "Well, you should talk to Albert because I couldn't meet him today to pick you up." I said as I parked the car in our garage. "Is he coming for dinner?!" She said rolling her eyes. Well, Kate never liked Albert. Not even in a million years. But she acts in front of him just for me. "No! But you'll call him." I said as we walked to the door. "Yeah yeah!" She said as she went upstairs to her room. I sighed. "Hey sweetie. Everything's okay?" Mom asked. "Yeah, mom. Wake me up on dinner." I said as I headed upstairs. I took my boats off and my blouse. I threw myself on my bed and slept.
