Nice start. You have a developed character, and you let her react to things in a beliveably adolescent way, instead of following most people's poor example of everyone acting like thirty-year-olds.
Also you've clearly done your research in order to explain Claire's "disability" in a reasonable way. The ironic mix of science and magic is clever, and cleverly mirrored in her parents. I think you might be one of the more talented faces on this website.

Hm, this seems to be an interesting story. It feels as though it could use a bit more development, but the plot is neat. Good luck writing! I'm sure it'll turn out great!
