So, I'm sure a lot of you have seen that picture with luke and aislinn (it's so cute!) so it kind of inspired me. By the way, when I was forced to watch "The Breakfast Club" in one of my classes, Andrew kept reminding me of Drew and Claire kept reminding me of Clare. Haha I know they don't end up together but still :)
DETENTION
Nine big ugly letters on the board in front of me. Why am I the only one here? I'm missing practice for this? Suddenly, a girl with short curly auburn hair came into the room. I recognized her, I think her name was Clara. She glared at me and then sat down. The silence was so awkward, it felt like I just walked in on my parents doing it. I had never really talked to Clara before but I know she's Adam's friend because she was there when we burnt Gracie's clothes and pictures.
"Hey, I'm Drew and you must be Clara."
"It's Clare," she said without making eye contact, "and I know who you are."
"Really?"
"Yeah, how could I forget the jerk who cheated on my best friend?"
"What? I don't know what your talking about!" I shouted.
"Wow, you must have no heart to forget something like this."
I had no idea what she was talking about. I started to think about it to the point where my head hurt. Then, it hit me.
"Look, I'm sorry about Alli. Bianca tempted me. It wasn't my fault!"
"That's what all guys say! 'Oh she tempted me' and before you know it, he gets her pregnant!"
"Are we still talking about me?"
She sighed, "No, I was talking about my ex, KC."
"Oh yeah, you two used to go out."
"You know about that?" She asked.
"Yeah, we're best friends. We tell each other everything."
"Figures you two would be friends," she rolled her eyes. "It doesn't matter, the relationship KC and I had is redundant and he's irrelevant in my life now. I found somebody better." When she said the last sentence, a smile was on her face.
"You know, that's the first time you've smiled ever since you walked into the room. You should smile more often, it shows how beautiful you are."
Her smile turned into a frown. "Drew, if you think I'm going to fall for your stupid pickup lines then you're wrong. I'm not about to fall for another cheater."
"So, there's a possibility of you falling for me?" I joked.
"NO! Besides, I have a boyfriend."
"Which one is it? That guy who drives a hearse and brought drugs to Vegas night or the guy who brought a knife to Vegas night and practically beat my brother up? You could do so much better than both of them combined, Clare."
"Don't be a hypocrite, Drew! You're not any better than them. Besides, you weren't there when the situation happened and you dont know who I am, you don't know who Eli is! And I would be surprised if you even knew who Adam really is."
"Hey, I know everything there is to know about Adam!"
"Really, do you know how hurt he was when you had oral sex with the former girl of his dreams!"
"What? That hurt him?"
"Yes! I guess you aren't the great brother you think you are!"
"Hey! I may not be the best brother in the world but I try my damn best to protect Adam!"
"Protect him from what!"
"From people like Bianca, from people like Fitz, from people like you!"
"What? So, I'm the bad guy now?"
"Yes, Clare. You hang out with people like Eli. Both of you will probably lead Adam down the wrong path! I don't want my brother hanging out with people like you!"
"People like me? Drew, you can't restrict Adam from hanging out with who he wants to! Besides, there's nothing wrong with me! And there's nothing wrong with Eli!"
"Yeah, there is! Eli wears too much black, he drives a hearse, and barely has a social life! For all I know he could be a drug dealer, or maybe even a serial killer! And there's something wrong with you if you want to be involved with somebody like him!"
"Way to judge a book by its cover, Drew," she said with a croak in her voice. She stood up and walked to the open door.
"Clare, wait." I ran after her and grabbed her arm. She turned to look at me. There was deep sorrow in her large blue eyes. "I'm sorry."
I stared at her for a while and she stared back. Then, we both leaned forward and our lips locked. She had her arms around my neck and mine were around her waist. My heart stopped beating, my senses were weakened, all I could feel was her and me together. When it stopped, it felt like it hadn't. Our lips weren't attached but our arms were still around each other. My eyes were still closed and I could feel that hers were closed too.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw her. Her eyes were still closed and then they opened, it was like seeing a rose bloom. She rested her head on my chest and we stood there, confused but happy.
"Hello! Are you guys awake?"
We turned around to see Mr. Simpson standing in front of us. "How many times do I have to tell you detention kids to stay in your seats? Forget it, your detention is over anyways. You may now leave." He sighed and walked away.
Clare and I smiled at each then walked out of the room and into the halls.
"That was interesting," I said.
"Yeah it was," she smiled.
Then, a figure came towards us. "Hey, Clare."
She turned away from me to face him. "Hey, Eli."
I could see the guilt in her face. He put his arm around her and she gave me one last look before she walked away with him.
