Hello! This will probably be a two or three shot! The idea popped up in my head today and I thought I'd get it out. Please review and let me know what you think! I love reviews!
Eli's POV
I walked into Miss Dawes class, a little overly excited. But I had a good reason. I couldn't wait to tell Adam what had just happened. I thought I was gonna die in anticipation as I waited for him to walk through the door and take his seat. `
"Hey bro" Adam said while finally walking in and sitting in his usual seat next to me. He noticed that I hadn't responded to him yet, and shot a look in my direction. I was sitting there smirking at him, waiting for him to ask me what my problem was.
"Uh, what's wrong with you? You look like you just won the lottery or something. And wipe that creepy smirk off your face, you look like a creeper."
"Wow, thanks Adam, I always knew I could count on you when I needed a great compliment" I said, whilst rolling my eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, are you gonna tell me why you have that creepy look on your face or not?"
"Well my dear friend, you are now looking at the new boyfriend of Sarah Jax."
"What? No way! You guys are dating? When did this happen? That girl is smokin!"
I slightly chuckled at Adams outburst and gave him another one of my famous smirks. Life was good. "About ten minutes ago, in the hallway by my locker, she just came up to me, told me I was sexy, and the next thing I knew we were in a full blown make out session. And dude I know she's smokin, everyone knows that. I have a date with her tonight at The Dot"
"Wow, I can't believe you get to date Sarah Jax. But you better watch out. Clare's gonna be pretty upset."
"And why would Clare be upset?"
"Because everyone knows that she's like totally in love with you Eli, It's gonna break her heart once she finds out your going with Sarah"
"What are you talking about man? Clare's not gonna be upset. I dont even think she would care. You and I both know, including Clare, that her and I are only friends. There's no way that Clare would ever be in love with me."
"Whatever you say dude, but I'll try not to say I told you so, when Clare doesn't want to be your friend anymore because you broke her heart."
"Shut up Adam, Clare and I are always gonna be friends, nothing could change that. She's not going to care either way If I get a girlfriend or not, just like I wouldn't care if she got a boyfriend."
"Shh, here comes Sarah" Adam said while turning around in his seat and facing the black board.
"Hey babe" Sarah said to me, while walking in and pecking me on the lips. I smiled back at her and said "Hey"
"I can't wait for our date tonight Eli, it's going to be great" she said while sitting down in her seat.
Seconds later, Clare came walking in holding her books close to her chest and smiling. "Morning Eli, morning Adam" she smiled, while taking her seat behind Adam.
"Morning Clare, you look perkier today, whats got you so happy?" I asked while smirking at her.
"Nothing much, can I not be happy to see my best friend?" She asked.
I smirked at her again before saying "I am pretty awesome. I can see why you would be so happy with me in your presence"
"Could you be any more smug?"
"Absolutely" I flashed her another quick smirk, and winked at her before turning in my seat to face the front as Miss Dawes walked through the door.
"Good morning class! I have a new assignment for you today, and good news, it requires you having a partner. Today you get to pick your partners, I think you can handle that much on your own. But if there is any problems, I will be forced to pick partners for you. And I really don't want to have to do that. You're in highschool people, let's try to be civil!"
Clare's POV
I was just about to ask Eli if he wanted to be my partner when Sarah Jax cut me off. "So Eli, your going to be my partner right?" She asked while standing next to him and rubbing her hand on his shoulder. "Of course" I heard him say while he smirked at her. He's only supposed to smirk like that for me!
"Uh, Eli, I thought we were going to be partners? We always are. You're gonna be partners with Sarah?"
"Why wouldn't he be partners with his girlfriend?" Sarah asked in a cocky tone. I never liked Sarah. I know what she hides under that designer clothed exterior of hers. She's a coniving, condescending witch, who will say anything, and do anything, and play guys, just to get what she wants.
"You guys are dating?" I asked, a pang of jealousy erupting within the depths of my heart. Even though Eli and I are best friends, I'm completely in love with him. He doesn't know, and I don't plan on telling him any time soon. It would ruin our friendship. Plus, I know that Eli doesn't like me like that, and there is no way he ever would.
"Uh, duh, didn't I just say that?" Sarah said while rolling her eyes at me, acting as if I was the most disgusting creature to ever walk planet earth.
"Sorry Clare, um maybe we can partner up again next time" Eli said to me.
"Oh um, ok, I'll just go work with Adam"
The next fifteen minutes were torture. As much as I didn't want to, I had to keep torturing myself further by glancing over in Eli's and Sarah's direction every few minutes. One time, Eli caught me looking and he gave a half hearted smile. I think he just felt bad about ditching me. They were a little to close for my liking. Sarah was practically sitting in his lap, and rubbing up against him every chance she got. And you know what the worse part was? He was letting her! It's like he didn't even care!
"Clare, are you okay?" Adam asked breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine, why wouldn't I be okay?"
"Because you keep glaring daggers at Eli and Sarah"
"What? That's ridiculous Adam, I'm doing no such thing"
"C'mon Clare, you don't have to hide it from me. I already know that you're in love with Eli"
"W-What? Who told you that I was in l-love w-with Eli?"
"Clare, no one had to tell me, your facial expressions, and the happy aura you give off while your around him, give it away. I've known for a while"
"Ugh, I can't believe I was stupid enough to make it that obvious. Please don't tell him Adam, it would ruin our friendship, and I dont need that"
"Don't worry Clare, I wont tell Eli how in love with him you are"
"It's not funny Adam!" I said while covering my face with my hands in shame.
"I'm sorry Clare, but it was a little funny"
"I'm glad that my lack of a love life with my best friend amuses you"
"Sorry"
"It's okay, I'm just a little upset thats all"
"Well what are you going to do? Your going to see them together every day Clare, you guys are in all of the same classes unfortunately"
"Ugh, I hadn't thought about that yet. Maybe I can just switch out of all my classes"
"Clare you know you're still going to see them together all the time, you can't exactly avoid them, Eli is your best friend"
"I can try" I stated, while giving one last look to Eli before I put my head down and continued to work on our assignment.
