Eli came walking down the school's hallways excited to go and see Clare. He was planning on asking her to the dance on Friday. Even though dances weren't really his thing, Clare would be happy to go, and hopefully with him. Fiona came and slid right next to Eli's side and smiled.
"Hey Eli, do you think Adam will ask me to the dance in three days or should I ask him?"
"I'll ask him if he's planning on it, otherwise its 2012 women can do anything guys can do, just sometimes not as good." Eli smirked as Fiona elbowed him in the side.

Meanwhile Adam and Clare had already gotten to their lockers who were only a few feet away. Clare was checking herself in the mirror, running her hand down her hair to make it not look puffy.
"You don't need to try so hard to look good. Because you're beautiful and Elli already thinks you're the hottest girl in school." Adam smiled.
"Thanks, but I don't want to look bad for when Eli asks me to the dance."
"How do you know he's going to ask you?" Adam cocked his head to the side.
"Do you think he won't?" Clare panicked.
"Of course he will, I was just wondering what gave it away."
"He's been dropping hints." Clare smiled and closed her lockers.
"You should turn up the charm just to make sure he doesn't wimp out." Adam winked out.
"Well, what would I say?"
"Okay, I'll help. Just pretend I'm Eli."
"Okay, hi."
"Come Clare, you need to flirt it up a bit."
"Okay, how about, hey Eli?" Clare said in a seductive tone.
"Better, but do a little flirty eyes." Adam showed her and Clare made the eyes back.

Eli and Fiona were laughing when the turned the corner and both of their smiles fell. Only a few yards away Adam was leaning up against a locker flirting with Clare, and she was flirting right back.
"What are they doing?" Fiona asked in shock, looking at Eli getting angry.
"I'm going to go punch him in the face." Eli took a step before Fiona grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
"No, I've got a better idea." Fiona glared at Adam while she pulled Eli away.

Clare and Adam walked into English class just as the late bell rung. Eli and Fiona were already in the class, sitting at the desks. They both spotted them and looked at each other.
"Ready?" Eli asked and Fiona nodded her head.
"Hey, guys. Where were you this morning?" Adam asked and winked at Fiona. It took all she had not to smile back. Adam frowned at her and sat in his seat.
"Just… talking." Eli smiled flirtatiously at Fiona and Fiona smiled back. Clare looked between the two and frowned.

At the end of class Eli and Fiona walked out together and left Adam and Clare behind.
"What was that all about? You don't think they like each other do you?" Adam asked, worried.
"I didn't think so. I never noticed till now."
"What do we do? I can't ask Fiona if she likes Eli."
"I guess we'll just have to show them we don't care about them." Clare crossed her arms and glared at the two.
"But I do care about her."
"Well, act like you don't." Clare looked at Adam. "They'll be ours by the end of the day tomorrow." Clare smiled and walked to her next class.

"Eli I feel like we might have misinterpreted what we saw." Fiona confessed.
"What? How?"
"If Adam liked Clare, then why did he wink at me?"
"To mess with us. They've been playing with us."
"Adam isn't like that."
"They're probably trying to keep their relationship a secret."
"If they are in a relationship then why are we trying to break them up?
"Look, you want Adam right?"
"Yeah."
"Then we have to break them up. I'm better for Clare anyway, and you're better for Adam. Now let's just keep flirting today and tomorrow."
Next chap is going to be intense!
