Brand new story! I don't know how I came up with this, but I did! Enjoy~
Summary- Eli and Clare fight with each other all the time, so when they are kidnapped and have nothing but each other and four white plain walls will they work together and get out, or keep fighting and die?
Warning- a tad different and confusing, oh, and language! Always language!
Clare's POV
"You are absolutely the worst person on this earth!" I yelled at him for the one millionth time. "If I'm so awful, princess, then stop talking to me!"
I scoffed at his words. "You are the one who keeps bumping into me and hitting me! I can't just let you do all of this crap to me, Eli. I won't allow it!" He rolled his eyes and then walked passed me down the hall, purposely running into me. "Oops, did you mean like that?"
He shook his head walking away. He is so insufferable! I couldn't stand him; he was a undeniable jerk, pain in the ass. He has been my worst enemy since the ninth grade, and now I'm in eleventh. He is one year ahead of me, which I am so happy about because that means I have senior year without him.
"Ugh! He's so…just, ugh! He is the-"
"Worst person ever and you hate him." Adam continued, "I know, I know. You say this every day! He isn't bad when you get to know him, really. I don't get why you hate him so much." I rolled my eyes at my best guy friend. Did I forget to mention that Adam, my best guy friend, is best friends with none other than Elijah Goldsworthy? My mortal enemy. Well, they are.
"What I don't understand is how you can watch how he treats me, do nothing about it and then tell me he's nice, funny, and charming! You can't do that! He may be nice to you…and everyone else on this entire planet but he sure as heck isn't nice to me! Ugh, I hate him I hate him I hate him."
"Noted." Was Adam's only response. Okay, Adam just doesn't understand. He is too bias, I need someone who will be on my side, and my side only.
He called my name but I ignored him because honestly why would I answer to that jerk? Well, anyway, he kept calling out but I just kept walking. Then he hit me with his bag! So I turned to him and asked him, 'what's you're problem'. He said that I was his problem. So then we started arguing and I told him mean things and then when he walked away he purposely bumped into me! Ugh, I…"
"Hate him?" Alli offered with a giggle. "It isn't funny, he ruins my day like that and he knows it! He loves getting under my skin, why are you laughing? I hate it, I hate him!" She couldn't contain the laugh that was falling from her lips. When she finally stopped, she took a bite of her sandwich.
"You know, if a guy was giving me that much attention, I would be loving it!" I rolled my eyes at her and slouched in my seat. Of course she would say that. "I would to, if it was good attention! But, Alli, the attention he gives me is rude and hurtful!"
"Okay, I will admit that he takes things to the extreme level of attention, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you, Clare!" I spit my drink out all over her. I wasn't even paying attention as she was grossing out grabbing every napkin on the table. "Love? LOVE! Are you insane, Alli? He does not love me!"
"Isn't that the truth? No one could ever love you, Clare. You're too, what's the word? Oh yes, you're too you." I gasped at the words he was telling me. How dare he! "Go away, stupid head; you weren't invited to eat with us."
He clapped his hands slowly. "Stupid head? Well, that's a new one! Great job, Edwards, great job!" He walked away then, and I saw everybody's head turn back to whatever they were doing. Oh, great, now we are the entertainment for the whole Degrassi population!
I turned back to Alli, and she was wearing an evil grin. Well that can't be good. I waited a long time for her to say something but she never did. "What!" I threw my hands up in the air exclaiming that I had given up. She laughed, "You're right, he's so not in love with you."
A smile played on my face. "Thank you. Finally!" She stared me down, and then I realized that she was being sarcastic. "Oh." I sunk into the seat a bit. "Hey! He is not!"
Eli's POV
"Tell me again why you don't just say I love you to her." I sighed while looking over to Clare, staring at her as she talked so animatedly to her best friend, Alli. I looked back at Adam who was sporting a determined grin. "I've never told you why."
"Aha! You admit it! Finally, you do love her! Man, just tell her." Damn it, Adam. I rubbed my eyes with both of my hands trying to forget about Clare Edwards. "No…I can't. And just forget I said that, okay? No one was supposed to know! You and your tricky ways!"
"Oh yes, I am the master behind all things tricks!" He chuckled to himself. "Okay, if you won't tell her that you do love her, then tell me why you won't tell her." I looked over at him, "I'm not letting this go, or forgetting that you finally admitted it! Get used to it. Now, talk!"
"Ugh, because…" That was all the information I was willing to give out though, I didn't want nor need him knowing. "Because why?" I groaned at his pushy-ness. He was so unbearable at times! "Because she tells you all of the time how much she hates me. And if I told her, then I would get rejected. So I would rather lover her from afar."
"She says she hates you because of the rotten things you say and do towards her. If you were actually the compassionate amazing Eli I know, then I'm sure she would love you too. But in order for her to even think about loving you back, you have to show her you Eli."
The bell range then, and in a way I knew he was right. But there was no way that I was about to show Clare the 'real me'. It wasn't like she cared anyway. I got off of my butt and grabbed my bag when I ran into Clare's little Indian friend. Don't let looks fool you, this girl is tiny beyond belief, but she is one fierce chick you don't want to mess with.
"You are so in love with Clare!" She exclaimed. "Adam told you that! He swore, god dam-"
"No, he didn't tell me. I figured it out and you just confirmed it for me! Yay!" She was doing a cheer as if she just got out of homework. Though, I'm pretty sure she likes homework, so… "You can't tell her! If you do I will personally kill you!"
"Geez, violent! I'm not gonna tell her, even if I did she won't believe me! I've been telling her you do for months now and she always says 'no, he doesn't! He hates me!'." She tried to say it in her best Clare voice, though she ended up just sounding like a wounded moose. "I hate that she thinks that."
"So, why don't you tell her?" I rolled my eyes, not again! "No, no, no! Nuh uh! I am not telling you that!" She batted those long eyelashes at me and pouted. I sighed deeply not giving into this one hundred pound full of fury girl. "Well, the least you could do then is not be so mean to her! You know the only reason she says she hates you is because you're so mean to her."
Great! Just great! Now I have had two people say that to me, now I know it is true! I let out a huff before walking out of the cafeteria and into my next class. It was Advanced English, and I had it with two of the greatest people ever:
Adam Torres and…Clare.
I walked into the classroom and took my usual seat in front of her. I turned around in my seat and smirked at her. She rolled her eyes and looked away from me over at Adam, starting a conversation with him while she waited for Ms. Dawes to arrive. "Ignoring me now?"
She glanced over at me with a look I couldn't put my finger on, but it was cold and distant and she only uttered one word, "Yes." It broke my heart into two and I sunk lower into my chair, as I literally felt my broken heart fall to the floor.
Adam gave me a look of understanding but also a look of disgust. Great! How did all of this turn from me hiding it so well to me being hate on by my best friend? The real question is: What in the hell has Clare Edwards done to me?
"Alright class, I know you are always sick of the day by this point since it is the last period, but I need your full attention because this assignment will be 75% of your end grade." There were a ton of groans and moans of annoyance, myself included. I looked over to Adam who had a look of defeat, but when I glanced at Clare a smile played her lips.
She looked so happy about this, who in the world would be happy about this? Yes, I love English and writing with everything in me but when something is that much toward your final grade that is just scary. "Now, I have assigned you all partners for this assignment, considering it is a partnered paper. Okay, Lisa A. with Jeffery B. Adam T. with," come on be me!
"Elizabeth F." Uh oh. "Elijah G. with…Clare E." My mouth went wide and my heart started to pound erratically. I felt a sudden rush within me and all of the blood went straight to my cheeks. There is no way I can do this and keep my cool. There is just no way.
"Alright, you have fifteen minutes to discuss ideas with your partner and then you will begin writing. After that you will have to spend outside time with them to edit and come up with one entire story. Good luck, your time starts now!"
I turned around hesitantly after I felt my cheeks back to a pale color. Clare looked almost disgusted. "I can't believe I have to work with you. You of all people I get stuck with! You don't do work and you're stupid!" I gasped at that, she didn't even know me. How could she say that.
"I am not! I'm probably smarter than you!" She rolled her eyes and then looked me straight in the eyes. "No one is smarter than me." Wow, conceited much. I chuckled a bit, "Did you know that you are the most self-centered person on this entire earth?"
"Oh, puh-lease! Look who's talking, mister! You go around like you own everything you see and touch. It's disgusting, it is truly hard to stomach." I couldn't contain myself from holding back. I may love her but she is crossing a line that just shouldn't be crossed "That's it! You're-"
"Eli! Clare! You are being disruptive in the class; you will both be staying in this classroom with me after class." Clare put up an argument so that she wouldn't have detention. But it was no use, Ms. Dawes didn't budge. All she said was, "Did you want to have detention tomorrow as well?"
"No, ma'am." Clare slumped in her seat with a look of defeat. She kicked my chair. "This is your entire fault! I hate you." That stung so very much. I turned around in my seat, facing the front so that Clare didn't see the hurt in my eyes.
"Ugh, my very first detention, and I have to spend it with non other then the single most worst person God has ever created." I didn't speak, I didn't even move. Ms. Dawes had left for five minutes, or so she said. She just left though, which left just Clare and I.
Clare moved to the other side of the room so that we wouldn't be near each other. "You know, if you hate me so much why talk to me?" I whimpered the question, because I was truthfully afraid of the answer. "Well, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking out loud. There is a difference, oh smart one."
"Then why don't you just shut up?" I suggested. Clare was near the window, and when I looked over I saw something…or better yet someone. "Clare." I said very carefully and slowly. She didn't answer, so I repeated myself. "What?"
"Come over here by me; make it seem as if you need help with something…or look in love with me." I didn't want to freak her out, and I most certainly didn't want to grab the attention of the three strangers in ski masks right outside. "What? No, Eli. You're pathetic. I wouldn't love you even if you were the last person on earth!"
But then she turned around and saw them and let out a scream running over to me. "Shh, Clare." The glass broke from the window and the three of them were in the classroom. One grabbed Clare's arm and pulled on her."Eli! Eli, help me!"
I pulled on Clare as hard as I could but it was no use one of them was holding me back and two were pulling Clare away from me. "No, let go of me! Stop! Eli….Eli!" I struggled and struggled, but I couldn't do anything. I couldn't help the one I love.
"It's okay, Clare! I'm not going to let anything happen to you!" I screamed to her as I saw them put a black pillow case over her head. And then I saw nothing but black as I whispered, "I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
Mmmmmmmmm….REVIEW!
