Clare's POV

"Eli!" I screamed running down the hallway. Eli was at his locker and turned to look at who was calling his name. He looked completely confused and surprised which I had expected. I must have looked like a crazy person, running down the hallway at full speed waving my English paper in the air. By the time I reached him I was too tired to even speak and was panting loudly. Eli smirked.

"Not exactly the athletic type, are you Clare?" I stopped panting and smacked his arm. He laughed and continued putting his books in his bag. I waved the paper in his face.

"I got an A on my English paper! The world is finally right again!" I said triumphantly. He smiled again and shook his head.

"Congrats, Clare. Another A to add to your collection." I playfully nudged his shoulder.

"I couldn't have done it without you, English partner." Before I could read his reaction I heard Ali shouting my name from down the hallway and she didn't seem too happy.

"Catch up with you later?" I asked hopefully. He nodded and walked down the row of lockers towards Adam.

"What was his reaction to your A?" Ali asked walking over. I shrugged. As usual

I couldn't read him.

"Well forget about him for a minute and focus on my problems?" I rolled my eyes.

"And what problem are we talking about now?" We started walking towards the front doors together. Sav was driving both of us home now that he was no longer grounded.

"Spring break, duh! Drew, my boyfriend-"

"You just love saying 'my boyfriend' don't you," I said. She said 500 times every day since they started going out.

"Anyways, he and everyone else in this entire school is going to the beach! How am I supposed to go 2 weeks without seeing him!" I knew she was just being overdramatic but she had a good point. A majority of the school was going to the beach. I even overheard Adam inviting Eli to stay at his beach house with him.

"Ok, I would love to go to the beach just as much as you would but neither of us have beach houses! It's not going to happen," I sighed. The thought of spending two weeks lying in the sun sounded exactly like what I needed. Ali had a mischievous smile on that worried me.

"That's why I came up with a plan."

Eli's POV

"What was Clare so excited about?" Adam asked, getting into Morty.

"English paper." Adam nodded in understanding. Eli remembered how happy she had seemed but what Eli had noticed more was Fitz staring at her from his locker. Eli wanted to scream at him to stay away from her but he was worried it might freak Clare out. Adam noticed his worried expression.

"Don't worry about it; In one week we'll be far away from all this drama." That's what he was worried about.
