Chapter 2: Performances and hook- ups [Clare]
I went to my locker and pulled out the bag that had my performance slut clothes for English I then saw Adam and Eli walking towards me I handed Eli the tube of fake blood.
"You're going to need that for English" I told him as he looked at it curiously and then put it in his pocket.
'What is this your supposed to look like Clara not Clare" Adam said to me and I pointed at the plastic bag in my hand as I went to the girls washroom I went into a stall and pulled my floral dress of replacing it with fishnet leggings a way to skin tight short black skirt and a tight red halter top that was low cut. I then walked out of the stall and put on the red lipstick that I had I had successfully made my self look like a slut.
"Clare what on earth are you wearing not that you don't look hot or anything" I looked over at Alli and Jenna who were now standing next to me they looked at me in shock.
"It's for English were acting out scenes from our writing and I have to be Clara from Eli's story" I explained to them and they nodded.
"Eli is going to drop dead when she sees her" I heard Jenna and Alli giggle as I walked out of the washroom.
[Eli]
Adam and I leaned against the wall waiting for Clare, and when she finally did I looked her up and down and I think my jaw dropped.
'I need a bible now' I think t myself the thoughts I am thinking are so wrong right now this is St. Clare we are talking about but I couldn't help but look the skirt and top were tight they hugged every curve of her body she then noticed me staring at her and placed her hands on her hips.
"Like what you see Eli?" she asked me and then the bell rang and I ran towards English hearing her and Adam laughing behind me.
[Clare]
I sat in my seat nervously and watched another group perform we were next. I was wearing Eli's sweater to cover myself up for the time being. I am sitting between Him and Adam in the back row.
"Nervous?" he whispers in my ear and I jot a bit and feel his breath on my neck and I start to get goose bumps.
"A little" I whisper back to him.
"You will be fine" he says and I turn my gaze back to the other performance at the front of the class Mrs. Dawes has her desk off to the side Adam is watching intently then it's over and the other students go and sit down while Mrs. Dawes does some marking for there work. I start to hyperventilate then I feel Eli grab my hand.
"Don't be nervous" he says and kisses my cheek and I calm down just a little.
"Alright our next group is Clare, Adam and Elijah" Mrs. Dawes tells the class and we all walk to the front of the class. Eli explains the scene for Adams story first and we perform it when were done we end up at Eli's scene for Clara Edwin As Adam summarizes the scene up for the class and me and Eli pull a few tables lining them up in a row at the front of the class. I then shrug off the sweater and I feel all of the student's eyes on me.
[Eli]
Everyone in the Class looks at Clare when she takes off my sweater and hands it over to me. Adam then moves away from the front of the class room because he's not in this scene. I then press my back to the concrete wall taking a deep breathe she walks towards me pressing herself against me her arms wrapped around my neck.
"Action!" I hear Adam call from the back.
"Why not Logan?" Clare asks seductively I'm shocked by how well she tuned into Clara.
"Because I said so" I try to say and it comes out unsteady as she kisses the corner of my mouth, my jaw line and neck. So much for just making it look like we were kissing.
"Come on Logan you know you want to" Clare started to scare me why couldn't this be Clare and her talking to me not Logan? Snap out of it Eli stop thinking about St. Clare that way!
"Fine" I say as Logan she grabs my arm and pulls me over to the desks we have lined up she pushes me onto my back so I lay across them she lays on top of my chest where was Adam he was supposed to say cut! I then looked back at him he was giggling hysterically at us Clare then distracted me from glaring at Adam and kissed me I held onto her hips.
"Cut!" Adam laughed and everyone looked over at him and Clare got of me and I sat up she was now standing I looked at her and saw that she was blushing was that kiss supposed to be for Logan or me?
[Clare]
After Explaining my vampire scene to everyone I saw Adam standing in the corner of the room last minute we decided not to use the fake blood and that would be easier.
"Action!" Adam called and I suddenly noticed my stage fright had gone away I walked over to Eli who was standing in the middle of the room and grabbed him by his sweater and pulled him towards me and kissed him our lips crashed together.
"Trisha we can't" he told me as Elliot.
"Elliot I don't care about what you are" I told him as Trisha as I sat down on the row of desks he was still standing my arms were around his neck then he softly kissed my neck and I pulled him towards me more until I was laying on my back and he was on top of me he continued to kiss my neck until I saw Adam as Calvin walk over and pretend to stab Eli with a piece of wood. Eli then fell to the ground and I sat up on the tables.
"Calvin what did you do!" I said getting up and kneeling down at a fake dead Eli.
"Trisha let's go!" Adam called and grabbed my arm and pulled me to the other side of the room.
"Scene!" he called Eli then got up everyone including Mrs. Dawes clapped for us and then the bell rang and everyone left.
"Good job you three that was a very committed performance" she said as we left the room.
"Meet me at my locker in ten" Eli whispered in my ear I then ran to get changed quickly so I could see him.
[Eli]
I leaned my back against my locker waiting for Clare I then saw her walking down the hall her red- brown curls outlining her face and she was wearing her floral dress again she was hot as Clara but I liked regular old Clare better.
"You wanted to see me?" she asked as I met her in the middle of the hallway.
"Well I was going to ask you something but I think I changed my mind" I told her sarcastically and she slapped my arm.
"Ask me what" she said stepping in front of me.
"Oh nothing I was just going to ask you if you wanted to go out this weekend" I asked her.
"Of course so does this mean that were kind of together?" she asked me and I smirked.
"No I just want to ask you out to annoy you" I said sarcastically and she took my hand in hers as we walked out of the school.
"I don't have to be home for a while want to go to the dot?" she asked and I thought about it.
"No let's go somewhere else" I said.
"Where?" she asked.
"Don't know just walk" I told her as we passed by the dot I then heard her phone ring and she took it out of her bag and I read it.
Clare I just saw you walk by the dot holding hands with him are you two finally together now! – Alli
She then texted her back saying yes turned her phone off and threw it in her bag.
[Clare]
We walked for a good thirty minutes before stopping at a play ground.
"So why did we come here?" I asked him.
"I don't know" he said and shrugged and then leaned in to kiss me but before he could I poked his chest.
"Your it!" I shouted and ran off down the path and into the woods that were next to the park I then hid behind large tree and looked over seeing him looking around for me I then decided to move when he got closer but I turned to see K.C standing to close to me.
"Hi Clare" he said eerily.
"What do you want K.C?" I asked him calmly.
"I want to be with you again Clare I missed you" he said and then leaned down to kiss me.
"No I have a boyfriend now" I said pushing him back.
"Common Clare" he said and then I tried to run away from him but he grabbed my wrist tightly.
"Let go of me!" I shouted and he didn't and then he twisted my wrist too far and I screamed in pain as I felt a snap then K.C ran off and I heard Eli behind me.
"Clare are you okay?" he asked me panicked as he glared at K.C who was running off and almost out of sight.
"My wrist I heard it snap when he twisted it" I told him and he examined it a bit.
"I'm going to take you to the Doctors okay" Eli told me.
"Okay thank you" I said as I kissed his cheek and we walked out of the woods
