Ok, so this is my first Fanfic ever! So be as harsh as you like. Be judgmental and everything. It'll help me improve review and tell me if I should keep writing or not.

CLARE POV

As I sat in chemistry, I couldn't pay attention to what the teacher was saying…something about diatomic molecules?

All I could think about was Eli. His beautiful emerald eyes in contrast to all his dark clothes. NO CLARE! Stop thinking about him. You're with KC.

The bell rang and I hurried to pack up my stuff and head to lunch. I walked quickly to my locker and saw a tall figure leaning against it. Could it be Eli? I get closer and notice its KC and my heart drops. I can't believe I actually wanted it to be Eli instead of my BOYFRIEND.

"Hey" I say began.

"Hey babe" KC replies, "wanna go to The Dot for lunch?" he asks.

"ummmm…" I think as I bite my lip when Owen walks up and pats KC on the back.

"Hey dude, inviting your girl for lunch with the rest of the team and there significant others?"

"Yep" KC answers back

With this in mind, I told KC I already promised Adam I'd have lunch with him.

I hurried off as KC pecked me goodbye.

I met up with Adam at our usual table in the cafeteria.

"Hello Clare" he says formally

"Hey, what's up?" I begin as I sit down

"nothin', I thought for sure you were going to ditch me again today for KC" he said grinning

"Ha ha, very funny, cause I just LOVE the intriguing and articulate conversations with the cheerleaders

About the importance of nail cuticles" I replied sarcastically

"Well I'm glad to be in your company. Eli is eating with me today also"

"Cool." I said as I tried to calm myself down

ELI POV

I walk over to the table and see Clare and Adam sitting together. As I sit down next to Adam I look over at Clare and smirk at her. I can see the blush rush up into her cheeks and can't help but think it's because of me.

"Hey blue eyes" I greet her. Her blush deepens.

"h-hey" she says smiling back at me

Its then that I notice a tall jock walking over to our table. I wonder why he's coming over here.

"Hey sweetie" he says to Clare

"Oh, KC, hi, what are you doing here? I thought you had a football lunch" she asks looking up at him from her seat.

"Yeah but I ditched today. I wanted to spend some time with you"

He sits down and kisses Clare on the cheek. I felt something in the pit of his stomach as he made her blush. Anger? Jealousy? Noooo

"Hey, I'm KC" he says to Adam and me

"Hey, I'm Adam" he says in a friendly tone

"Eli" I state

"This is my boyfriend" Clare says timidly

Oh it all made sense now. The one girl I actually might like is taken. Greeeeaaaat.

I look over to Clare, she was smiling brightly, hmmm maybe it's because I'm here today…I then notice her gazing up at KC. Oh, I thought to myself. Duh.

"Hey Clare, do you wanna go to The Dot after school and work on the English assignment due next week? I say distracting her from KC

"ummm… sure Eli" she replies hesitantly

AFTER SCHOOL

I walk into The Dot, and there she is, sipping her chocolate milkshake, writing something down. I walk over to her. She looks up and smiles.

CLARES POV

When I got to The Dot, I order a chocolate milkshake, my favorite, and immediately start working. Eli arrives minutes later and gives me that signature smirk of his. He sits down and we discuss what we are going to write about. The topic is to write about one thing you would change about yourself and why, you are supposed to write about how this character trait has gotten you into trouble before.

"What is my worst trait?" I ask Eli

"Hmmm… maybe it's your Saint Clare-ness, or your positive attitude towards everything?" he said sarcastically "or your beautiful blue eyes or bouncy curls" he said more sweetly

"I'm being serious Eli"

"Well, I don't really believe you have any bad traits"

There was a pause filled with an awkward silence. At least for me it was.

"I-I-I've got to go" I told Eli

"What? We haven't even really started!" he replied

"I just- I have to go-"

As I went to pack my stuff Eli turned my head facing his and kissed me.
