The Time Before the Beginning of Time

                                    

                                          
A baby Claudia was walking down the hallway, wearing her plain old Stevie Nicks top and bell bottoms jeans, in her sophomore year. She saw Nathan at the other side of the hallway with Peyton attached to his hip and Brooke standing beside Peyton. She looked the other way to see Haley and Lucas. She walked over and leaned on the locker beside them.

                          
"Have you guys ever imagined what it would be like to be popular?" Claudia asked them deeply as she looked over at Nathan and his friends. 

                          
"Sometimes." Haley replied truthfully, she admired how the girls could do whatever they wanted when they wanted. Lucas laughed as he shook his head.
                          
"We aren't ever going to be like them. It's not how it works." Lucas shrugged and Claudia nodded her head.
                          
"I mean come on, it's not like we are actually going to date them and be popular." Claudia laughed as she opened her locker. "I had a little moment." Claudia admitted as she took her stuff out of her locker and into her crochet bag, the famous crochet bag. She was wearing her Stevie Knicks top and blue bellbottom jeans with flip flops. 
                          
"Here they come." Lucas whispered as Nathan, Peyton, Brooke and Tim all walked past them. Nathan turned and smirked at Lucas.
                          
"Bastard Spawn." He teased before he swung his arm over Peyton's shoulder and continued to walk. Claudia slammed her locker shut.
                          
"Okay, I no longer like him now." Claudia hissed angrily, if looks could kill Nathan would be six foot under- at least. "Are you okay?" Claudia asked Lucas as she patted his back. Haley looked at him with sympathetic eyes.
                          
"Yeah, he does it all the time, why should this be any different." Lucas replied brushing it off like it was nothing.
                          
"If it makes you feel better Claudia is on stand by if you want someone to kick his ass." Haley joked as they began to walk to the quad. Claudia laughed alongside Lucas.
                          
"That is true." Claudia added before she did some basic karate moves. "I can kill a bitch." Claudia added and Lucas laughed with Haley.
                          
"I will let you know." Lucas joked as they sat down at the nerd table. Claudia looked over at the jock table to see Peyton and Nathan sucking each others faces off. "This will be a long lunch." Claudia groaned and her friends laughed.

Claudia and Haley were sitting beside each other in the library, because they both had a free period, when a jock walked up to them.
                          
"So been working on any new songs?" Haley asked and Claudia gave her the look. "You need to let people hear you voice, I mean you could be a rock star!" Haley exclaimed and Claudia laughed.
                          
"Come on Haley, I am going to marry a rockstar but I am not going to be one." Claudia replied as a Jock stood at the front of their tables. Claudia raised an eyebrow at him. "Party tonight for sophomore year nearly being over, you guys should come." The jock explained as he looked straight at their boobs.
                          
"Hey, eyes up here." Claudia stated sternly and the Jock smirked at them before he licked his lips.
                          
"Where is it?" Haley asked getting a little bit intrigued. Claudia looked over at her shocked.
                          
"In the school gym. Someone stole the key from Whitey so it will be after hours." He explained as Claudia and Haley looked at each other.
                          
"Can we bring friends?" Claudia asked with a raised brow. The jock leaned closer towards her.
                          
"Sure but most likely you will be spending the whole of the night with me behind the bleachers." He smirked and Claudia rolled her eyes.
                          
"We might be there." Claudia said cryptically before her and Haley went back to work. The guy drum rolled on the table before he walked off. Haley turned to Claudia.
