…...
Clare was at her locker with Alli and Jenna when two arms wrapped around her
"Morning beautiful." Eli said and kissed her on the cheek
"Eli," Clare blushed "You know there is no PDA in school." she turned to face him
"Oh come on Edwards." he smiled "No risk no reward." he leaned in to kiss her
"I am not sure its worth the risk" she turned around and closed her locker
"Ouch!" Eli said and Clare laughed "I guess if you don't want to kiss me, then I will just have to spend the rest of my life wondering what I did that was so bad." he began to fake cry
"Fine one kiss." Clare said and Eli smiled a triumphant smile and kissed her
"See I think it was well worth it." he said
"I don't know." Clare teased
"I guess that means we have to try again." and he kissed her again. Clare laughed
"Fine. It was worth it" Eli smiled and put his arm around her and they walked to class with Jenna and Alli.
…...
Eli was talking to Clare with Jenna and Alli right before class started. KC watched and sighed. Why did he care? He was over her
"What are you looking at?" Dave said
"No one." KC said as he looked at his screen, but then caught a look at a her laughing, Dave followed his gaze
"Dude not again!" Dave said
"What?"
"You like Clare again?"
"No!" Kc said "I don't like her again
"Who Jenna or Bianca?" Wesley asked as he and Connor walked into class.
"No he is back on Clare." Dave said laughing
"I am not." KC barked. And he just stared at his screen
…...
"Meet you after class?" Eli said
"Sure." Clare smiled
"See ya."
"See ya." Clare was giddy
"Miss you." Eli told her and kissed her forehead
"Miss you more." Clare said and Alli and Jenna pretended to make gagging noises
"Oh Eli I loveth you!" Alli said imitating Clare
"Oh Clare, I loveth you more!" Jenna imitated Eli. Clare hit them both in the arm
"Ha ha. I get it. But I cant help it guys." Clare said giddy again she walked into the classroom and sat down "Things are finally going good for us. My parents are warming up to Eli. We have gotten passed the whole "knife incident"." Clare sighed "For once, I am in a relationship, with no lies, or insecurity or jealousy." Clare laughed "Sorry for enjoying it while it last."
"That is great Clare bear." Jenna said "But we never get to see you."
"Yeah. We happy for you, but we haven't had a girl day in months." Alli pointed out
"I am sorry your right. I will find a way to hang out with you guys."
"Fine. Forgiven. Now what are you doing later?" Alli said "I was thinking we could all hang out at my house?" Alli said
"Can't. I am meeting Eli. We are doing homework at my house. Our own strategy to making my parents love him." Clare smiled Alli rolled her eyes "What?"
"Clare I just want you to know that this honeymoon phase wont last forever. It can easily go from a relationship to a relationshit!" Alli told her laughing at her own wit.
"I know. But like I said. This is the first time I am in relationship with no drama. I want to enjoy it for as long as it will last."
"Whatever." Alli said and they logged on to their computers.
"Good Morning class." Ms. Oh said
"Morning." The class said
"Ok for you assignment this week I will be paring you up and you will be designing your own website for an academic or a sports competition. Be creative." then she went over the rules. Clare looked at Alli and Jenna
"See you guys, we might get paired up." Clare was smiling. After Ms. Oh talk about the details of the project she began to assign partners.
"Alli and Wesley. Connor and Adam," she said a few more then she said there were only 4 left Jenna, Dave, Kc and Clare. Please please please, Clare was praying silently. "Jenna and Dave." Clare's heart sank. "That leaves Clare and KC. Now that you have your partners I want you too sit and brainstorm site ideas." Clare got up ans whispered to Jenna and Alli
"Someone switch with me"
"And don't even think about switching." Ms. Oh told them
"Great." Clare groaned
"Yeah, remember when you said your relationship had no drama?" Clare shook her head. "Well, hello Drama." Alli said and as she sat next to Wesley. Clare gathered her composer and sat down next to KC.
"Hi Clare." he said not looking in her eyes.
"Hey KC." she responded they were silent for a while.
"And here I thought this would be awkward." KC tried to joke.
"Me too." Clare let out a awkward laugh
"Look if this is gonna be a problem, we can beg her to let us switch." KC offered
"No. we are mature people. We should be able to handle this." Clare said "Besides, it was last year. I am over it." Clare told him honestly
"Good." he smiled "So you ready to get us another A? Partner?" KC held his hand and Clare smiled and shook it
"Partner." They smiled.
