Okay as I promised, here is the Adeclare story. :) Hate it, love it, tell me! Read&&Review lovelies.
01: Hidden Thoughts & Outward Feelings
Adam's POV.
I can't just let them flirt in front of me without getting a jealous. I mean it's not fair. She's…amazing. Her hair, her eyes, her smile. She unknowingly rivals the Bianca's and Alli's of the school. Maybe I shouldn't have pushed them together to escape their sickening sexual tension. Maybe I should just tell her how I feel. Yeah right, so Eli can slip Ipecac into my drink, too? Ugh, here they are.
"Hey Adam," Clare says with a smile. Helloooo, Beautiful.
"Hey Clare, Sup Eli," I say trying to clear my thoughts.
"We were wondering if you wanted to come to the movies with us?" Clare asked sweetly.
"Right," I say as I shake my head.
"What is that supposed to mean? You think we're lying?" Clare said mildly offended.
"See this, this is my third wheel face, I'm going to be wearing it all night," I say sarcastically. She giggles as she rolls her eyes. I like her exasperated look.
"Come on, Adam, it's not going to be like that. Promise," Eli says with a half smirk and a hopeful look.
"Guys-," I say about to refuse to offer again.
"Adam, please?" Clare asks as she gives me a puppy dog look. How can I resist…that?
"Fine…but I get to choose the movie," I say with a mischievous smirk.
"God, Adam, no, all you're going to do is choose some movie with blood, guts, and random naked chicks," Clare say annoyed.
"Adam chooses the movie," Eli quickly chimes in. I smile at him as we do our signature arm bump.
"You guys are foul," Clare says with a smile.
"You're just jealous," Eli says with mock annoyance.
"Whatever guys, I have to go meet up with Jenna and Alli, I'll see you later." She gives Eli a quick peck on the lips and a hug. She pulls me into a quick hug, also. She has no idea that I'm pretty much melting into her hug like M&Ms in somebody hands. What? I like M&Ms. I watch as she walks away as Eli interrupts my thoughts.
"Adam, what the hell," Eli says in a passive aggressive tone.
"What!" I ask offended.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" Eli says sternly. I try to decipher his random anger as we have a silent conversation with our eyes. Oh. Dammit.
"Eli, it's not even like that! I know Clare is your girlfriend," I say quietly.
"Yeah, staring at Clare into the distance doesn't exactly prove your innocence," Eli says sarcastically.
"Look, dude. I'm not into Clare. She's all yours, stop being paranoid," I say convincingly. I can lie to myself.
"Fine, but dude, if you start feeling anything for Clare-"
"Yeah, yeah, I'll wish I was never born, moving on," I say interrupting him.
"No, just…tell me," he says calmly. I shoot him a semi-confused look. "I'd rather you tell me than lie about it," he says as he shrugs. That's gone out the window.
"Okay, but it's not going to happen," I say with a smile. Goal of life: Keep my mouth shut about Clare. I shake my head and walk off to 7th period.
Later that night
Clare's POV
"Hurry up, Clare!" I heard Adam yell while Eli honked his horn.
"I'm coming, you idiots!" I yelled back from my balcony. Since when is causing minor chaos in a neighborhood okay? I checked in the mirror once final time to check my outfit. I wasn't completely sold on it, but Alli thought I looked amazing. I should trust her, but the gray colored purple floral dress was a bit too short, the white lace undershirt was a bit too revealing, and the white heels were a bit too uncomfortable, but I liked the way it looked on me. It was…flattering, I guess. I grabbed a purple cardigan, against Alli and Jenna's wishes, to cover up with. Sorry guys. I grabbed my purse and walked carefully downstairs. I was not trying to break my neck in Jenna's shoes. I made my way outside and immediately felt both pairs of eyes on me.
Eli's POV
Oh. My. Damn.
Adam's POV
Oh. my. god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my FREAKING god.
Clare's POV
"Uh, hey guys," I said shyly.
"Clare," Eli said as he got out of his hearse, "you look amazing…I mean not that you don't look amazing all the time, it's just…you look AMAZING."
"Thanks, Eli."
"Yeah, Clare you look really pretty," Adam said suddenly. I was kind of surprised at his compliment.
"Thank you, Adam," I said quietly. I could see Eli stiffen when Adam called me pretty. I didn't want to make it worse.
"Uh, well we should go, the movie starts in about thirty minutes," Eli said.
"What movie are we seeing exactly?" I asked curiously.
"A Serbian Film! The reviews were freaking amazing and it has the most disgusting scenes in a movie ever!" Adam said excitedly.
"Great," I deadpanned.
"Oh come on, Saint Clare, live a little. Hey, if it gets too scary for you, I'll let you jump into my arms," Eli said sarcastically.
"Aw, my knight in shining armor?" I mocked.
"Something like that," Eli said has he moved closer to me.
"Guys! Can we move this along please?" Adam said exasperated. We both looked at each other and laughed. Eli got into the drivers seat as I sat in the middle and Adam climbed into the passenger's seat after me. While we were driving in comfortable silence, I felt Adam's hand accidentally brush mine. I looked up at him without alerting Eli. I saw him duck his head towards the window to hide the very faint blush that tinted his cheeks. I couldn't help but smile a little. You know? I never realized how…handsome Adam really is. I mean, sure he does have girly features, but that's what makes him adorable. Especially his eyes, his blue eyes look so innocent with a little mischief behind them. I can't help but feel good that I made someone else blush.
Eli's POV
They think I don't see, but I do. It's called peripheral vision!
Adam's POV
Dammit, I hope Eli didn't see that.
Clare's POV
We make it to the movie theatre and I look around to see if there's a movie poster for this so-called movie, just to see if I can get a glimpse of what's to come. There are none.
"There's no movie poster. It's one of those indie movies that not many people know about, I'm surprised they put it out in this theatre," Adam said as he smirked. I watched as Eli nonchalantly walked around to the back of the theatre.
"What is he doing?" I whispered.
"Did you actually think we were going to get into a movie like this by ourselves, definitely not. It's beyond rated R," Adam said as-a-matter-of-factly.
"We're sneaking in!" I hissed.
"If you want to make it official," Adam said as he turned his back to walk to where Eli was hiding. Why do I insist on getting myself in these situations? I mean seriously? No matter how much I would like to not see this godforsaken movie, they still deserve their money.
"Clare! Hurry up!" Eli whispered loudly. I tried my best to resist, but my feet moved faster than my head. Ugh! I tried my best to look like I was wandering around, but I could tell it looked forced knowing I was extremely nervous. I finally made my way over to them and saw Eli and Adam trying to stifle their laughter.
"What's so funny!" I ask harshly.
"Could you be any more obvious?" Adam asked sarcastically.
"Shut up, can we get this over with? Please?" I pleaded. With that Adam opened the door and made an "after you" gesture. I rolled my eyes and made my way into the hall. I saw the theatre where 'A Serbian Film' was playing and made my way in as Adam and Eli followed. I sat in between Adam and Eli all the way at the top. Great. Clear view of everything. Not many people were here. Scratch that, not many smart people were here. The movie started and I could hear by how quiet everything was; this was not going to be good. As the movie progressed, I could feel my nails digging deeper and deeper into Eli's skin. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Adam smirking…and occasionally…looking at me? Huh. I looked up at Eli and could tell he wasn't too fazed either. That was until the baby…oh my god. I have to get out of here!
"Um…I'm getting food. Yep food. Want anything?" I said quickly as I ran out of a theatre full of screams and groans.
Adam's POV
This is my chance.
"I'll be right back, I need to tell Clare what I want…to eat," I whispered to Eli. He shook his head while trying to cover his eyes from the screen. I made my way towards the concession stand.
Clare's POV
I hear someone calling me.
"Hey Clare, you never asked me what I wanted," Adam said with arms crossed.
"Oh yeah, what is it that you want Adam?" I say with slight sarcasm.
"You," he says as he leans and…KISSES ME!
Note: Hope you like it! Oh and yes A Serbian Film is a real movie, and yes it really does have some messed up things in it. See you tomorrow, for the next chapter. Oh and I got the inspiration for Clare's outfit from my own today. Except it wasn't a dress it was a shirt…and it was a black cardigan…and ripped jeans…and black flats….not too far off =]
