Chapter 2
I Woke up in the nurses' office.I looked around worriedly."Adam? Alli?"
"Shh Clare your alright." I look up to the voice it was Alli Smiling down at me.
I went to sit up on my elbows on the little bed in the office.I was lightly pushed back down by Alli.
"The nurse said you need to lie down and rest rest." She puts her hand on my head and soothes my hair back.
"W-where's Adam? What about Eli?" She rubs my hair some more trying to calm me down.
"Adam went to class and Eli I assume is in Class too." She smiles at me. I give her a you- know-what-I-mean-look.
She sighs heavily."He..might..have saw you in the hall before me and Adam got you here." She looks at me apologiticly .
"Oh man what did he say?" I look at her biting my lower lip hard.
I knew she was going to say he freaked out and ran away it has happened a lot since everyone has found out about my 'Condition.' Everyone in school has treated me differently except for Alli and Adam.
"He looked really worried about you Clare.I think he likes you." She looks at me with a wide smile."I kinda think you should tell him."
I shake my head."Al I can' if your reading the signs wrong? What if he freaks?" I look at her."I really like him and don't want to screw up."
It is true I do like him A LOT and don't want to screw it up by telling him about 's hard to deal with to be honest I don't know Adam,Alli,and my mom deal with it because I can't. So how am I suppose to some boy I just met that I'm sick and can't control it?
I was sitting in class and all I could think about was Clare.Why did she faint? Is she sick or something? Does she hate me? I mean I really like her there is just something about her I like. The teacher called on me breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Sorry What was the question?" I look up at her and bite the inside of my bottom lip.
" I expect you to pay attention in my 't let it happen again. Alex can you answer me?" I nod but let out a silent breath after she moves on from me.
I sit at my desk with my chin resting in my hand trying to pay better attention to the lesson.I just couldn't put my focus on it All I could think about was startling blue eyes,her smile,her everything it was perfect to bell rings I jump up from mye desk and go to try and find Adam or Alli in the hallway.I swim through the sea of people trying to get their lockers or friends.I spot Adam.
"Adam." I yell across the hall and run to reach him.
"Hey 's going on?" he says as I reach him I take a few deep breaths before answering him.
"I..uh was wondering how Clare was?" I look at him waiting for his answer.
"I don't know Alli is still with her at the nurses' do you care anyway? I mean you don't know her like Alli and I." He stares at me and I get more nervous.
"I-I um..I.l-like herAdam I want to be with her.I know I just met her but something about her makes me want to be with her." I look at him and bite the inside of my lip.
"Well dude you have to tell her that and all I can say is if you hurt her you'll regret it." I nod with understanding.
"I know I have to tell her and I will try my best not to hurt her- He cuts me off.
"No Eli tying doesn't work you have to promise me when you find out that you won't hurt you by leaving." I cock my head to the side with confusion written on my face.
"What do you mean Adam?"
"I'll let her tell you come on lets go see her." We walk to the nurses' office to find Clare.
Alli was still storking my hair when I heard Adam and Eli Talking in the office.I shot her a knew exactly what my look was asking.
"I'll go see what is going on you stay here and rest." She stands up with an accusing finger pointing at me.
"Yes mom." I say sarcastically and laugh a little bit.
She rolls her eyes and walks out to where Adam and Eli are talking.I lay there just listening to the three of them talk.
"I like her Alli like I want to date her." I heard Eli State and a smile grew across my face.
"Eli you don't know what your getting yourself into.I know she likes you too but you have to ask her what happened today before I give you permission to date her." I hear Alli Spit back to him.
"Eli Can you come in here please?" I say just loud enough for him to hear me."
"Y-yeah Clare be right there." I smile and slowly sit upand lean against the wall.
"You wanted to see me?" He says as he pops his head in first.
"I have something to tell you. I don't want you to freak out because I don't think I could handle someone else freaking out." I look up at him.
"Okay well if it has anything to do with fainting then I promise I won't freak out." He lookst me and sits down in the chair Alli had been previously sitting in.
I take a deep breath before speaking."I -I um..um..I don't know how to tell you,"
He grabs my sweaty hand and gives it an assuring squeeze."Clare it's okay you can tell me. I promise I won't leave."
"I have l-lupus."I spit out looks at me with confusion.
He sits there in silience for a minute.I just watch him as he tries to understand.
"P-please say something Eli."
