Steal Your Heart Back
Clare POV
He couldn't be hurting like she was. He had obviously moved on… and quickly. Did there former relationship really mean nothing? So much so, that he had another girlfriend? Clare was heartbroken by this. She loves Eli, loved, but he doesn't feel the same way anymore. Just as she was turning the corner, lost in her thoughts, she crashed into something hard, immediately sending the stranger and herself flying to the floor.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" she squeaked, while gathering her things.
"Clare Edwards….Is that you?", a deep voice said.
She slowly looked up and was eye to eye with the brown eyes of a boy no older than her.
"Yeah? Um, do I know you?", she hesitantly asked. Clare had no idea who this boy was. He was dressed in a purple polo, which obviously meant he was sophomore like her but, upon further observation; he was holding a schedule, meaning he was a new student.
"Jake. Jake Martin. You know we used to be best friends together when we were little! Come on… You gotta remember!" Jake pleaded.
When he saw no spark of recognition, he whispered, "In the fifth grade you told me, sometimes when your parents and sister were out, you'd put Beyonce on and dance around the house."
At that, Clare went as red as a tomato thinking back to how she told her best friend that embarrassing secret. Then to sadness at how he moved away in the eighth grade after his mother died and never seeing him again, until now.
"Now I remember! Jake it's been so long! What are you doing at Degrassi?"
"Just here for learning purposes, Clare"
"Ha ha. Do you want to go to The Dot for a bite? We can catch up where it's not so loud."
"Sounds good. I could really use some food."
They started walking, only to have every movement followed by a pair of green eyes, which just happened to see everything...
Eli POV
"Dude, you've been staring at that door for ten minutes now. What's up?", asked Adam.
Oh nothing, just that the girl I'm madly in love with, just left with a strange guy. "Nothing.", Eli answered back bitterly.
"You up for some grub? The Dot?", asked Adam.
"Sure."
"Cool, let just put back this comic book and then we can leave."
As Adam walked through the library looking to put his comic book back, Eli's phone vibrated. When he looked at the phone it was Imogen. He didn't feel like talking to the girl. She was nice but too dramatic and not to mention she was too concerned what other people thought of her. But Eli was going out with her so he shouldn't ignore her…
He picked up the phone to be greeted with a "Heeeey!"
Man, could she ever say hello like a normal person? Eli thought. "Hi Imogen. What's up?"
"Oh nothing baaabe, just hanging with the girls. I wanted to know if you wanted to do a movie night tomorrow?"
No."Sure…"
"Cool! I'll meet you at the Cineplex at 6! Byes!"
"Alright." Eli said but she had already hung up.
"Let's go, man." Adam said, arriving back.
"Ok, but maybe we could go back to your place and play some video games?"
"Alright! I just got Zombie Slayers 5!"
Clare POV
"I can't believe, that out of all the schools in the city, Dad sends to that one! If that isn't a coincidence, then I don't know what is.", Jake said animatedly.
"Tell me about it. I just can't get over the fact that you're back! So you have my number and I'll be seeing you tomorrow for movies?", asked Clare hugging Jake good bye outside The Dot.
"You got it. See you tomorrow.", Jake said waving good bye.
Clare had, had a great time. They talked about everything and anything. She didn't even think of Eli; Or his green eyes, smirk, or sarcasm. Although, she did think of Jake and his brown eyes, deep tan, light brown hair, humor. Oh no, she thought, she was getting that feeling in the pit of her stomach… butterflies. Maybe, just maybe, he would be the one to get her over Eli.
Suddenly her phone beeped, signaling a text. She opened her phone and read that it was from Adam.
Adam – U need to come to the Drew's BBQ sunday. I can't make it without U! Bring a hot date if U want to ;P
Like I really wanted to be stuck at a BBQ, where my both of my ex-boyfriends were most likely going to be.
Clare – If I must…then fine. C U sunday.
When she opened the front door, she noticed that house was quiet; no screaming parents. Walking into the kitchen, she found a note taped on the fridge that said her mom had gone with her friend and wouldn't be back until later.
Seeing as she had no company, she decided on going up to her room, to do her homework. Just as she got to her room, there was a knock on the door. Turning around and heading downstairs, Clare opened the door to Alli with her overnight bag.
"SLEEPOVER!", she screamed while making her way inside, while leaving a dumbfounded Clare by the door. "Hey, come on. You don't want to let any bugs into the house…or Fitz.", Alli said while poking her head around the corner.
With that Clare closed the door and walked into the living room and sat next to Alli on the couch. "Whatcha doing here?", asked Clare.
"Oh, just wanted to have a sleepover."
"Ah, I see… Was this planned?"
"Nope."
"Ok, well my mom isn't home. You don't mind, do you?"
"Nahh. Now, let's stuff our faces with junk food and watch chick flicks! You in?"
"I could never say no to junk food!"
Ok, so like/dislike? Haha this was more of an introduction to… things to come. Review and I'll give you a cookie :) Oh, and you can leave me suggestions on where you would like to see this story going!
