Oookie dookie. Here is chapter two. This time it is in Clare's POV. Dedicated to purple389 for totally making me smile. Please ENJOY!
I stood there dumbfounded by Eli's surprise kiss. I shake my head regaining my composure and walk towards class. I easily zone out Ms. Oh's lecture during Media Immersion. My thoughts are taken over by the one and only Eli Goldsworthy. This boy will be the death of me. I laugh under my breath. Eli and I have been going out almost four months now. Much longer than KC and I ever did. I'm a little conflicted with my feelings right now. I mean I know I care about Eli more than anyone else at the current moment. But, love? I've never been in love. How am I supposed to know what it feels like? I know that I more than like Eli…I don't know. It's not like Darcy's here to confide in. And I always talk to Alli about my relationship with Eli, but I can tell it makes her sad when I smile over him and she can't reciprocate those feelings because she hasn't had a boyfriend since the incident with Drew. I'm happy she hasn't though. She needs time to just be Alli. So, as crazy as it sounds, I've developed a really close bond with Eli's mom, CeCe. Would it be weird if I talked to her about this? I don't really want to ask my parents about love right now. Plus, they'll probably just shrug it off as a stupid high school crush. I guess CeCe it is. I'll try and find time to talk to her without Eli noticing.
The bell rings and I make my way to my Christian Club meeting. Everyone looks up at me with worry in their eyes since the last time I was here I left in tears. I smile and take a seat. It starts as always with a prayer and then one girl sitting next to me discusses her grandmother's recent death. In tears, she recounts stories and I immediately grab her hand offering her my support. I was so transfixed by her speech that I didn't notice another student enter the room and join our circle. Once mystery girl finished, I looked up and my eyes landed on the last person I ever expected to see at a Christian Club meeting. No, not Eli. He's been here before. My eyes widen as he looks over at me. Fitz.
He offers me a small smile. I immediately look anywhere but at him. What is he doing here? Last time I saw him he got arrested. Why would the school let back the person who almost stabbed my boyfriend right in front of me? Finally, the bell rings and I rush out the room towards English before I come into any contact with Fitz.
I practically sprint down the hallway and into Ms. Dawes' class. I search frantically for Eli and all I see is Adam. I drop my stuff on my desk and look at my friend. "Adam, where's Eli?" I ask.
"Nice to see you too Clare." He rolls his eyes.
"Adam, where is Eli?" I ask again, more sternly this time.
He looks up at me concerned. "He was on his way to his locker the last time I saw him."
I nod and run out the room only to collide with Eli in the doorway. He immediately grabs my waist before I fall. "In a hurry, Edwards?" He smirks at me.
I ignore his comment. "Fitz is back." I state. Eli's playful features immediately harden and he lets go of his hold on me. Slowly, he grabs my hand and leads me back to my desk and takes his seat in front of me. Adam looks from Eli to me and back to Eli.
"Start from the beginning." Eli says.
Thanks for reading. I'll update soon. Reviews are always appreciated =)
