Um, I'm a bad person. I think that's really all I can say.

Clare was bored and nervous. Alli had just left her at her house with a bad plan and an extra skip in her step. All Clare could do was worry if she stayed here.

So, she decided to head over to Peter's. At least she could give him a heads up about Alli. That was her excuse anyway. Honestly she just wanted to see him and for some reason her logic had disappeared and now her brain was telling her this was a good idea. Highly unlikely. This boy business had rotted her brain completely.

She waved at Sav and went out into the beautiful night. There was a bus station not to far from here and by now she'd gotten past her fear of public transportation. Another thing that was definitely Alli's fault. The only problem with buses (that weren't school buses of course) was that her mother would have a heart attack if she even thought Clare was riding one. Then again her mom would be having a heart attack about any number of things Clare was doing these days.

Peter flipped through the channels yet again. He still wasn't paying attention to any of the shows and by now he'd passed this cooking channel at least 3 times. All he could think about was Clare and KC making out in the lunch room.

But what did he expect? She'd been heartbroken over him when they'd kissed. He knew from experience that feelings didn't just disappear.

The doorbell rang and Peter was up in record time. Maybe he liked Clare more than he'd thought. After all, even the thought of her at the door had him off of his very comfortable couch in seconds. He hesitated slightly in opening the door, not wanting to seem desperate.

Instead of finding Clare at the door a scantily clad Mia stood there. "Oh. Hi."

She pushed past him to come inside. "Hi Peter!"

"What are you doing here?"

"I miss you Peter. Let's just stop this and get back together."

Before Peter could object she was kissing him. It felt familiar and for the first time in hours he wasn't think about Clare, so Peter kissed back eagerly. If Clare could kiss KC, he could kiss Mia.

They collapsed onto the couch and before Peter could gather his thoughts his shirt was somewhere on the other side of the room. Then, another knock on the door had both of them pausing.

"Come in!" Mia yelled with a smile before attacking Peter's lips with her own again.

Nothing was really registering in Peter's mind until he heard a small gasp. "What are you doing?"

Peter pushed Mia off of him and she fell to the ground with a small scream. "Clare, it's not--"

The younger girl held up her hands. "I don't care Peter. Have fun." She turned around and ran out, leaving a smug Mia and a guilty Peter behind.

"I'm glad she's gone." Mia got up and grabbed Peter again.

"No Mia, get out!" Peter pulled her up and pushed her towards the door. He was furious. At her, at himself, at KC.

"Excuse me?"

"Go away! I don't want you back and...just go!"

Mia scoffed. "So you're choosing Darcy's sister over me?"

"No. I'm choosing Clare over you."

In response Mia slapped him and with an unnatural growl she was stomping out of his apartment. Peter didn't even give her a second thought as he dialed Sav's number.

"Hey....Yeah, I made a mistake, can I talk to Alli?...Well can you give me her number?...Thanks."

Clare mentally kicked herself as she wiped away a few tears. She knew she was a hypocrite -- she'd kissed KC earlier today -- but she still felt betrayed. Peter had liked her but obviouslly he'd come to his senses. Besides, he was a senior and she was Darcy's little sister. It never would have worked. Right?

Even when the decision had been made for her Clare was finding it hard to choose between the two boys. Then, without even realizing it she was suddenly at KC's group home. Hmm, maybe she had decided then. KC liked her and she liked him. It was simple, not dysfunctional.

She knocked on the door and in a minute she found herself being ushered up to KC's bedroom. He smiled when he saw her and invited her in.

"I didn't think I'd see you here."

Clare laughed. "I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry." KC grinned at her and she blushed. "So, you're here. That's got to mean something."

"It does."

"Did you choose me over Peter?"

Clare was about to confirm his question but then she realized something. "Wait, I never told you about Peter."

"Oh." KC knew he was screwed now. She was looking at him so seriously and it just seemed that he couldn't lie. "I eavesdropped."

"What? When?"

"This morning."

Things started to click for Clare. "So you heard about me going on a date with Peter and then you suddenly kiss me?"

"It's not like that!" It was a weak lie and he knew it.

"Then why didn't you kiss me at the dance?"

"Because I didn't like you until he did!" God, had he really just said that?

Clare shook her head, surprised to find she wasn't crying again. "You're so--"

"Charming?" KC finished automatically, realizing too late that he was an idiot.

"Awful!" She corrected, walking out and slamming the door behind her.

Two boys this morning, zero boys now. Things were finally back to normal. That was good, wasn't it?

Then why did she feel so wrong?

You know what, I'm not even going to ask you to review. I don't deserve reviews because this chapter sucks and my updating skills are awful. Honestly, I think my twisted mind just hates this teen drama stuff lately

Only like, 2 more chapters and I'll crank them out so I can at least be finished with this story. Cheese, sorry again. At least I didn't just discontinue it though right? No? OK....I'm gonna go now.
