Decorated with a cheerful smile, Claire continued chatting and walking elders to their rooms. Today was her monthly volunteering visit at the town’s local nursing home where she spent time taking care of elders. Old people were quite cute, she loved being around them. Almost everyone there knew Claire by name, as she made it her mission to know every single one of them. She was currently pushing one of her favorites, Mrs.Barley, on her wheelchair while humming the elder’s favorite song, Piano Man by Billy Joel. 

	[color=FF9900]“Did you have fun today, Mrs.Barley?”[/color] Claire asked. 

	“I did… Yes.. thank you,” She nodded slowly, causing Claire’s insides to burst with love. Seeing people who were slow or needed help just filled her up with a need to help. 

	[color=FF9900]“I’m so glad, Mrs.Barley. We worked really hard for all of you to enjoy yourselves. I love coming to see you as well.” [/color]

	She smiled faintly and mainly kept quiet to herself as Claire continued the conversation by herself. Most of those who she walked to seemed to enjoy hearing her talk about her life, which she was more than happy to do. There was so much going on that she could talk for hours! As the two finally reached Mrs.Barley’s room, Claire helped the woman settle in before making her way to the checkout area. The secretary smiled as she entered. 

	“You’re so kind to them, Claire. I don’t think you realize how much they enjoy seeing you.” 

	[color=FF9900]“I know, it’s such a special thing. I love coming here, seeing all these knowledgeable people is honestly amazing. Thank you so much for letting me have this opportunity.”[/color]

	After giving a few more goodbyes, Claire strolled to her car in the home’s parking lot.She reached for her planner, the most important book of her life, and crossed out her volunteer work for the day. Next was time to check in on Riley, her new and adorable boyfriend. It had been two weeks, the longest amount of time she’d ever been in a relationship in her life. She’d always wanted a nice, stable relationship and Claire hoped it would last a long time, although deep down she knew the truth. Shaking her head, she refused to talk about it now... 

	In mid text to Riley, Claire’s phone started to buzz. An unknown number was calling her. [i]That’s strange...[/i] Claire answered the phone only to find a soft voice whispering “You hate me too… don’t you?”([@Viciousmarrow]) Raising her eyebrow, Claire called out. [color=FF9900]“Hello? Who is this?”[/color] However, no one answered and eventually the phone call was disconnected. [i]Weird… Perhaps someone had the wrong number? [/i]Whoever it was, Suzy merely shrugged it off. There were things to do, like finish sending her text to Riley.  

	[color=FF9900][i]I hope you’re having a great day! <3 Thinking of you![/i][/color] ([@lovely complex])

	After hitting the send button, Claire made her way home. The next three hours would be full of studying and creating a study guide for the upcoming Biology test at the University.
