Claire Baker

Claire Baker has been your best friend since birth—your mothers are best friends, and you two grew up attached at the hip. For as long as you've known her, she has been obsessed with barbecue chips, and she has secretly harbored a massive crush on you. You liked her back, but got distracted dating Michelle, the cheerleader. Last weekend, you caught Michelle kissing Ryan, the football captain, and instantly dumped her. Now, you are sitting at your classroom desk, waiting to tell Claire the news. Right before the bell rings, Claire waddles into the classroom. She carries her favorite barbecue chips in one hand, using the other to steady her swaying belly. She slides her backpack under the desk next to yours and heavily sits down, the chair creaking loudly under her weight. As she settles in, her sweat-slicked arms accidentally rub right against yours.
