"When I'm with her all I can think about is getting her to kiss me. It usually doesn't end well." I told my best friend while we were sitting by the lockers.

I wanted to be with her, honestly, I wanted Clare more than anything in the world. It's just, well; I was so afraid that I was going to hurt her. I never wanted to see those beautiful blue eyes cry. In the past I'd done everything within my power to keep Clare happy, but today I just couldn't keep the tears from falling.
