Clare's POV

I hurried to my locker wanting avoid the tormentors. Well that's what I call them. They are the popular kids they also have made fun of me. I'm their favorite target.

They consist of Jenna, K.C, Drew, Bianca, Alli, Fitz, Owen. With their leader Eli.

He's the guy that every girl wants but, can't have. He only has one-night stands only.

He was perfectly gorgeous. His emerald eyes that could make any girl go weak at the knees. His raven colored hair that hid his eyes. The way he would snap his neck to get the hair out of his face.

The way that I was completely in love with him. But, he hates me he always has. Plus it would never work out. He's the captain of the football team. I'm the uncoordinated, awkward, goody-two shoes nerd.

He's had loads of girlfriends I've never had my first kiss and I'm 16. I was lost in my thoughts that I didn't watch were I was going and bumped into someone causing my things to fall.

"Watch were your going dork," an all too familiar voice yelled.

"S-sorry Eli," I stuttered. Causing me to blush madly.

He scoffed picking up his stuff and pushing me out of his way.

I sighed loudly and picked up my stuff heading to my next class.

It was the last class of the day. The one I suffered through the most. Eli was in that class English.

It's my favorite subject but, with him sitting right behind me, torturing me. I hated it. I just focused on Ms. Dawes.

"OK class, our next assignment is to write a story designed around one emotion. It's going to be a partner project." She said causing the class to smile looking for their partner.

"But, I will assign them," smiles turning to annoyed groans. "Torres Coyne, Bhandari Middleton, DeSousa Fitzgerald, Milligan Turner and Goldsworthy Edwards." I stared in disbelief at the teacher.

How could she pair Eli and I. Sure it was a chance to have to hang out with him. Although with that comes hurt feelings and name calling. Equaling in angst. I heard him scoff annoyingly behind.

"OK, get with your partner. Before anyone asks no you can not switch partners," and with that she shooed us off.

That was the worst time of my school year so far. He basically made me do

Everything while he talked to his friends. The worst part of it is that we have to work on it outside of school. So we had to exchange numbers. That was going to be a joy to work with him.

I walked inside my house to hear my parents fighting. This time it seems he was drunk.

I scoffed in disappointment at my fathers choices and ran upstairs to my room.

A few minutes later the door slammed and I could hear heavy footsteps coming upstairs. My drunken dad appeared in my doorway with a fiery rage seen in his light blue eyes.

"What's wrong dad," I asked with fear in the back of my head.

"You! Your mother and never had problems until you were born. Your a mistake," he yelled.

I felt tears sting my eyes wanting to come out. Before I could say anything I felt a hard blow hit my cheek.

Eli's POV

I was currently at the ravine with a girl from school. I didn't care enough to even remember her name.

"Eliii," she whined obviously drunk.

"What," I asked annoyed.

"Do you want to go in the van," she asked.

"Sure," I said getting up and we went inside.

Once we got in I attacked her lips feeling nothing just tasting the revolting taste of Alcohol.

I pushed her down on the floor lightly and we undressed.

Once we finished I put on my clothes and left her. I've had sex with so many girls I've lost count only one time mattered, with Julia. I've moved on that was a while ago.

I went straight to my room once I got home.

Your tears don't fall

They crash around me

Her conscience calls the guilty to come home

Your tears don't fall

They crash around me

Her conscience calls the guilty to come home

My phone rang obnoxiously loud. I groaned picking it up not even bothering to look at the caller I.D.

"Hello," I said annoyingly.

"Hey Eli, It's Rachel," the person said.

"Oh hey," I said going along even though I have no idea who it is.

"Why did you leave after we had sex," she said

'Oh her' I thought "Because it's not like were going to have a relationship. I don't like you that way." I said, knowing that I sound heartless.

"Oh wow, I Thought you liked me, but whatever. Bye," She said dumbfounded and hung up.

I can't believe she thought we would be in a relationship.

I've only been in a real relationship once. With Julia Montgomery.

We dated for two years. But, I accidentally cheated once when I was drunk. We got in a fight she left and got hit by a car.

Ever since then I've hated beer or an alcohol that's especially why I don't like that Rachel chick.

There is only one girl I would ever want to date. I'm in love with her.

Bu, she would never go for me. I harass her on a daily basis.

I'm in love with the beautiful blue eyed Clare Diane Edwards.
