Battle of the Heart* an Eli/Clare/KC FanFic
(Clare's POV)
Eli and I walked out of our English class holding hands. We had just had our first discussion on Romeo and Juliet in English class.
"God, I am so sick of all these true love novels." Eli said with a joking smirk.
"What? That's ridiculous! Romeo and Juliet is a classic." I countered.
All of a sudden, someone crashed into me.
"Oh hi Clare," KC smiled, picking up my books that had fallen and handing them to me.
"Hi KC," I exclaimed. Even though we had a messy break up, I guess I could say we were sort of friends.
"I haven't seen you in awhile, how's it going?"
"I'm good."
"That's great." KC said. Then his gaze traveled to Eli, his expression dimming. "Who's…your friend?"
"I'm Eli." Eli said draping one arm around me. "Her boyfriend," he locked eyes with KC.
"Oh. I see." said KC, his body tense, keeping his gaze steadily on Eli. "Well, bye Clare. See you around."
As we watched him walk away, I could feel the awkwardness hanging in the air like humidity.
The bell rang, breaking the silence. The tight grip on my shoulder released. "I'll see you at lunch." Eli said tensely.
"Well alright then." I leaned over to kiss him but Eli was already leaving for his next class. Okay. I could accept that. We just had our awkward ex-boyfriend/current boyfriend meeting.
