She Says.

Declan and Holly J broke up over the summer and KC and Clare don't get back together. Declan and Clare become close friends and spend a lot of alone time together, but how long will that last. What happens when Clare falls for the player? What happens when Declan wants her too?

Declan Coyne waited outside Clare Edwards house on the first day of school. He had a shity summer. His girlfriend Holly J broke up with him for Spinner. He tried to block that out of his mind. He tried not to think about it. He just sat there waiting for Clare, and remembered how he had met her. She was prop master for his show last year. It was then that he began to notice how cool she was, how mature and funny she was. It was as if her maturing was for someone in their 20's and not someone who just turned 16. Declan couldn't tell you why, but just talking to Clare seemed natural and right. She came running out of her house. The fist thing he noticed was she cut her long hair. It was a short cut that went to her ears. It fit her. She was wearing contacts, she was wearing a medium length jean skirt, and a white over shirt over a pink tank top. She looked cute.

"Hey Declan, so sorry to keep you waiting." she said. She was so cute, that Declan couldn't be mad even if he wanted to.

"Its ok Eddie." he said. He started calling her that last year. She didn't seem to mind.

"I heard about you Holly J, I'm sorry." She said

"Thanks. It's ok, I'm not gonna let it get me down." he look at her "What happened between you and KC?"

"Nothing. He is still with Jenna." she said. KC had dumped Clare for this Jenna girl. This was before she joined the play. At the last night Declan have Clare a hug, and freak out. He was sure they would get back together. But the didn't.

"Sorry Eddie." "It's fine. If he wants a skanky cheerleader, then fine. I don't need him."

"Good for you." he said. He liked Clare being independent from KC.

"This year I decided something."

"Really? What?"

"Last year I had the right idea."

"What was it?" "No boys, no dating. Just friends and school and work. None of the drama."

Declan felt upset by this statement. But why? She was his friend. And he didn't need another relationship right now. But still the thought of Clare not wanting to date anyone, sadden him.
