"How could you! With Adam? It doesn't make since!" Clare yelled at Eli as she slammed her locker shut.
"Clare just listen to me." Eli said calmly, trying to explain to her what happened.
"No, I wont!" She said as he put her bag over her shoulder and turned her back to him.
"Clare just please, wait." Eli touched her shoulder as Clare turned around.
"Whatever it is, I'm sure I've heard it already." She looked at him angrily as they stood alone in the hallway of Degrassi.
He suddenly tried to kiss her but received a smack against his face.
"I cant believe you. Just, get away from me.." She turned around and walked out of the school.
Damn it. Eli thought.
He touched his cheek where she had struck him. It was hot, just like that feeling he had in his throat that made him want to hit something. He didn't know how to explain to her that he would never do anything like that to her. And that it was just stupid guys spreading lies. He was determined to make sure she knew the truth.
He ran out the doors of the school as a few groups of students stood around, talking and gossiping. He ran past them as he looked for Clare. Once he spotted her in the parking lot, he ran up to her and begged her to stop and talk to him.
"Clare please just listen!"
"No."
"Clarreee..fine…I'll read your vampire fanfics over the loud speaker tomorrow." He said teasing her.
"Fine. I will. The only thing I want to hear is the truth." She looked at him impatiently.
"Everything about that text is a lie! You haven't even heard the story because you wont talk to anyone about it, especially me."
"Then how did this happen, Eli? Huh?" She held up her phone which showed a picture of Adam and Eli.
Kissing.
