I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS LITTLE INTRODUCTION! THIS IS DEDICATED TO MY BEST FRIEND! THANKS FOR THE IDEA!

CLARE'S PROSPECTIVE

I sat in class and listened to my teacher ramble on about homework. When, finally an announcement came on the speaker. "Attention all students, we are encouraged to warn you about the strangers who are trying to lure children inside vans. Now, I know all of you are very smart children but please be careful and be aware of your surroundings. Thank you and I apologize for the interruptions." I sighed and turned to Ali. "Yes, Clare when someone pulls up next to you in a creepy van with tinted windows saying they have kittens inside what do you say?" I smirked and said, "I say oh my god really can I see and then I go inside the van…" Ali laughed at how serious I sounded. I looked around the room and I stared down at my blank paper. I was in this class for more than twenty minutes and I had a writer's block.

I turned to Eli, my supposed English partner. He only talked when he wanted to criticize my work. I said, "Hey Eli, why don't you make yourself useful and help me…that is your job." He rolled his eyes at me and said, "Well, Clare I am sorry that twilight isn't on tonight. I can't help that…" I smiled and said, "Ha-ha Eli, I have writer's block." He frowned and said, "Saint Clare has no thought's, that's odd." I laughed and tapped my pencil on my paper. "What are you thinking of right now?" He asked me. I smiled and decided to flirt; maybe this would get him to talk. "You…" I told him. Ali's jaw dropped and I looked down and blushed. There was no way I was actually falling for this kid. He smirked, "Well, now elaborate on me. Like, what I act like, who I like, who I appeal to, and so on…" I looked down at my paper and the thoughts flowed in my head like it was nothing. I ended up writing three pages about Eli, but I used Romeo's name. Oh that is so sick, Ms. Dawes is so going to notice…ugh oh well.

When the last bell rung I quickly got up and ran to my locker. I unlocked the locker and Ali said, "Flirting with Goldsworthy, Clare. That's totally shallow you should have totally told me before you did it so I wasn't so shocked." I sighed, "I don't like him Ali, and I just have no one else to turn to when I get a writer's block. But, when I see him the writer's block goes away. It's weird, but anyways I don't like him…" I closed my locker and jumped when Eli was standing behind it. "Eli!" I shrieked. He said, "It's too bad you don't like me, maybe I was just getting a little interested in you…" He shrugged his shoulders and walked in front of me.

I sighed in frustration and said, "Ugh! He is so annoying! He is playing with my emotions, do you see that? And, he still has the nerve to flirt with me. Ugh." Ali smiled at me and said, "Someone love's Eli…" She rolled her eyes and I laughed. Drew was coming down the hall and Ali backed up against the wall and she became so shy. She placed her hand behind her neck and said, "Hey Drew…" In a tiny girly tone. Drew said, "Oh hey…" He kept walking. I laughed and closed my locked, "Oh…hey Drew." I mocked her and she lightly tapped me with her text book. I looked through my bag and said, "Oh I forgot my phone in Ms. Dawes class, don't wait up I will walk alone." She smiled, "Thanks Clare, nice to know you want me around." I protested, "Well, I don't think you want to hang around here." Ali grabbed her bag off the floor and said, "You are so right, and that's why I am ditching you right now. Text me when you get home." I waved her goodbye and turned around and walked into Ms. Dawes class.

I knocked on the door and asked, "Excuse me Ms. Dawes I think I left my phone…" She held up my cell phone and I said, "Thank you Ms. Dawes." I walked up to her desk and before I could leave she said, "Oh Clare, I have a question can you just stay for two minutes." I smiled and said, "Okay, sure what's wrong? I am sorry if anything is wrong with my paper, it was Eli's idea." She laughed and took a sip of her coffee, "We both know this isn't all about Romeo Clare. I just want to say that your connection with this piece was very strong. I felt as if you actually loved Romeo, excellent job." I got up and said, "Well, thank you I guess." She gathered her papers and I stood in front of her awkwardly wondering if I could leave. "Clare, you can go…" I smiled, "Oh okay…" I got up and trotted out of the room.

I stopped before leaving and searched through my bag for my iPod. I grabbed it and placed my ear plugs in my ear and blasted the music. I started walking home. I looked down and checked my phone. "Hey mom, I am walking home now. Be home soon…" I texted her and looked up. Then, I heard a horn hocking next to me. Oh my gosh, this is like the stupid kitten story. "Hey do you know where Malcolm Street is?" I nervously chocked on my words and said, "Down the road and make a…a left I think." I started walking and he said, "Can you please come with me and show me where it is?" I chocked on my words, and I couldn't feel my legs. Then, I heard a familiar voice, "Hey, back off and get directions from somewhere else." It was Eli. He stood in front of me and held my body close behind him.

I shuddered when the man said, "Eh kid, I was just asking for directions from your friend, not you." I grabbed onto Eli's jacket and he placed his hands up. "Okay, now she told you the directions, now you can go." Then, the van door opened and five men sat smiling. "Oh my god…Eli." I whispered in his ear. I tightened my grip and he asked, "What do you want?" They simply replied, "The girl." I held onto him tighter and the guy driving the van said, "Get the girl."
