This is my second fanfic! WOOT! I know I've been saying that I was gonna write a fic about Eli and Julia… but I guess it's gonna have to wait! :D This fic is just gonna be a normal fic with chapters and stuff, but each chapter is based off a song. This one was "It's Not Over" by Secondhand Serenade. You guys should really check it out SO GOOD!

Well then,

Enjoy~

"Declan…." Her soft voice faded out. She realized what he was doing before he even said anything. It was coming for awhile now; she was just surprised that he hadn't done it sooner. His pained expression made her want to scream at him. If it hurt too much then why try to end it? Even though that thought practically shouted at her, she had no intention of changing his mind.

Clare stared out the window, and there she was. Holly J Sinclair. She was sitting across the street looking straight at them. When she met Clare's eyes she quickly looked away. Her strawberry blonde hair, swayed as the breeze hit her. Dark blue eyes gave her a sense mischief, flawless skin made her look almost divine, and the way she held herself, that air of confidence made the younger girl want to cry. Holly J was beautiful. And Clare, she sighed looking at her reflection from a nearby mirror. Clare was just Clare. Plain, old boring Clare.

"New York is far, and I'm sure that," He paused, picking out the right words to say without hurting her. "Well-"

"Just stop." Clare interrupted. She couldn't listen to anymore of his pathetic speech. Her words came out cold as stone. "I thought you were different, but obviously you're ready to get rid of me when the next best thing comes around."

His eyes widened at her statement.

"I was just stupid that I thought better of you." Her words hurt him deep. He did like Clare at one point, liked her enough to ask her out. But he didn't figure out that he only liked her as a sister until he met Holly J. Atleast, he thought he saw her as a sister.

"Declan, we've been dating for almost a year now. You didn't have the guts to say anything before?" Though she sounded tough and strong, on the inside she was breaking. Declan was different from all the guys at this school. He actually had a level of class and maturity. Something K.C never had. But she was wrong. All that vampire fanfiction just got to her head.

"I… I didn't want to hurt you."

"And how's that working out for you?" Her bitter voice rang through the restaurant. She didn't try to raise her voice or start to cry. Making a scene at a restaurant where all the students from school go to frequently wasn't a good idea.

Slowly, she stood up. Looking straight into his eyes, she sighed. That special spark she saw that beautiful blue was gone. Was she imagining it this whole time?

"I'm leaving."

With those last words she walked out of The Dot, never looking back. If she did she'd probably see a regretful Declan staring straight at her retreating form. He stared even as Holly J came in and wrapped her slender arms around his neck.

Once she was out of the restaurant she allowed herself to cry. It was risky dating Declan, but she didn't care. He made her so happy and made her feel secure. It was all just an act.

My tears rundown like razor blades

And no I'm not the one to blame

It's you, or is it me?

"Declan stop!" Clare giggled madly as she tried to swat his hands away. He only widened his grin and kept tickling the younger girl.

The two were staying after school together to work on the play. But during their break they got a little carried away.

Finally he stopped. He cocked his head in confusion when he saw her bright red face. It wasn't red from her laughing but red from… embarrassment. Declan noticed the position that they were in. They were both on the floor. He was leaning over her, his arms propped up on both sides over her body. Her arm held herself up so that their faces were only centimeters away.

Her clothing was disheveled, her hair long was tied up in a messy bun, her cheeks were flushed, and she was slightly panting. Declan could only think one thing at the moment. Clare Edwards is beautiful. So he leaned in and closed the remaining space between them.

Her blue eyes widened in shock as she felt his warm lips on hers. She closed her eyes and leaned into his arms, and he did the same. It felt amazing. He lowered his arm to her lower back to pull her closer, and she melted in his embrace.

The door suddenly opened. They quickly parted to fix their clothes.

"Hi, Declan."

Holly J Sinclair. Clare looked up in disbelief. The junior offered a fake smile to Clare.

"Little Edwards too? What a surprise." Once again she came. Holly J was obviously in love with Declan which was why she kept butting in to any conversation Declan had with the opposite sex.

"H-Hi…" Her voice was hesitant yet said with annoyance, but if the older girl noticed she didn't show any sign.

"Anyway, Declan, I need the information on the play. Student council needs to make the announcement soon." What a lie. Holly J could have asked tomorrow. They weren't scheduled to make the announcement until next week.

Declan smiled at the student body president, his manners coming first as always.

"Sure thing, I already wrote it."

"Oh." Holly J's smile faltered. She was thinking that it wasn't ready so she'd spend time with him writing it. She glared at the younger girl in the room. An amazing guy like Declan was wasting his time on this annoying freshman.

Smirking she walked closer to Declan, they were only a few inches apart. She lifted her hand to rest it on his arm. "Do you need any help with anything? I don't mind staying."

He shifted uncomfortably. "Um, no I don't think so. But thanks for offering." He quickly handed her the papers and took a few steps back, getting back his personal space.

A small frown formed on the president's face, but she didn't try to hide her displeasure. "Fine, I'll see you later." She walked towards the door and met Clare's face with an angry scowl before leaving.

"Do you find her attractive?" Clare's question completely caught him off guard, but he had to admit. Clare being jealous was extremely cute. Regaining his composure he smiled. He pulled her into his arms causing her to gasp in shock.

"She may be attractive," She felt her eyes start to form tears. "But I think you're the best." Her face became beet red. Hiding her face by leaning into Declan's chest, she allowed the growing smile to form on her face.

And all the words we never say

Come out and now we're all ashamed

And there's no sense in playing games

When you've done all you can do

"Hey, can we not eat there today? I don't think I can face seeing them together." It's been only two days and already Declan and Holly J became the It couple.

Alli Bhandari stared at her best friend sympathetically. "Sure, but you know you're gonna have to face them one day right?" Clare looked back at the raven-haired beauty and sighed. Alli has been through rough times with Drew, but somehow she managed to be alright. 'I can do the same.' But she couldn't. Not right now at least.

"One day..." At that moment she saw a blur of sandy hair before falling over.

"Ouch!" She cried, rubbing her sore butt. The figure in front of her said the same thing. It was Adam Torres from her English class.

"Sorry!" They both said simultaneously. She stared at the boy and cracked a smile. Laughing they both stood up, handing each other their fallen books.

"Clare right? Sorry about that. I was sort of in a hurry." She blushed at how sweet his voice sounded. Yeah, he looked pretty feminine, but she wasn't expecting his voice to be just as soft.

"No problem! I wasn't paying attention either!"

The boy grinned at her, before noticing one of the books he handed to her. He looked at her in shock. "You have this?" Adam stared at her in awe.

Cocking her head to the side she asked. "What's so special about it?" Adam looked as if Clare just insulted his mother.

"This has got to be the best comic book ever!" His brown eyes looked like they were watering.

She giggled into her palm. "You want it? I only bought it at a garage sale because I felt sorry for the people there."

He grabbed her hand and began to shake it repeatedly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll treasure this moment forever!"

His actions amused her. "I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship." She said jokingly.

He grinned at her. "Sure is."

Noticing Alli standing awkwardly to the side quickly said, "So maybe I'll see you around?"

"Uh, Yeah!" His hyper response only made her laugh more.

"Adam!" Both brunettes turned to see the owner of the voice. Eli Goldsworthy made their way toward them, attracting stares at his all black ensemble. Clare instantly recognized him as the guy who ran over her glasses, and the person who sat in front of her for English.

Adam gave one last parting smile to Clare before taking off with Eli. Eli stared at glanced at the girl, remembering her from English. He smirked at her before leaving.

What. Was. That?

The words raced through her mind at his random expression. And yet, she wasn't annoyed. She was …intrigued.
