Chapter 1 - Claire
Playlist- Good Girl: Carrie Underwood
Don’t get her wrong, her aunt was amazing but she travelled a lot which meant that Claire spent a lot of time alone with nightly FaceTimes with her aunt.
Today was the day she was starting at West Point as senior. She wasn’t ready at all to begin again but she had to “make the best of it” as her aunt had constantly told her.
She took a deep breath and applied some lipgloss, checked her tie then straightening her uniform deep blue skirt she grabbed her bag and headed down the stairs.

Music played in her ears as she walked up into the parking lot leading to the school. It was smaller than her old school but it was nice from the outlook. Students milling around in their little groups. She took her headphones out and turned her iPod off, putting it in her school bag.
A sound caught her attention, a whistle coming from her left, the wolf whistles with she found utterly degrading. Three boys leaning against the fence bordering the school parking lot.
Three of them. Not bad looking but bad as she could tell. Tattoos. Cigarettes in their hands and smirks on their lips. Rolling her eyes she flipped them off and walked inside the building. Making a mental note to avoid them at all costs.
It took her a few minutes to find her locker which was beside a girl with a nose in her book. “Hi,ah..do you know where room 2c is?” Claire asked the girl. The girl moved the book down, blowing a bubble with the gum in her mouth and popping it before answering. “Down the hall to the right, I have the same class “ she says as she closes her book with a *Slam* which made Clair jump slightly. “Oh, that makes things easier. I’m Claire” she said offering a hand. The girl looked at the hand before taking it “Kate” she said giving Claire’s hand a squeeze before releasing as the bell rang “Let’s go, don’t want to be late on your first day” she said spitting her gum into the closest trash can. Claire nodded and followed the girl who she immediately liked.
