part of him wanted to snap at her ---- so NOW she as offering sage advice ? years of nothing but a card at christmas, maybe a present at birthdays if she remembered, and claire thought she had the RIGHT to stand there and- but that wouldn't be fair, not after everything. she was trying. which was more than he could say for his dad scott at this point. so yeah, zach had thought why not ? claire was experienced, she knew what to say and when to say it, how to put herself ON TOP. the obvious choice to help deal with the fact some of the other guys on his course were being assholes about his experience in mechanics and yeah, it was starting to get to him and his work but he could handle it. " and what do i do if being MYSELF is actually worse in this scenario ? i guess i could always switch schools.
