One of the Village People chapter 3
Here is the next chapter,
Shout to ilovetaylorswift13 for reviewing. : )
Clare walked towards her locker, but as she turned the corner she accidentally bumped into someone. All the books in her hands went flying to the ground,
"Sorry." She said apologetically; when she looked at who she had bumped into she instantly blushed before bending down to pick up her books.
"It's ok." Eli said bending down to help her with her books. They stood up and Eli handed her the books he had picked up off the floor. They stood there awkwardly for a few minutes. Eli was about to say something but he saw Jake walking down the hallway, Eli immediately shut his mouth
"Hi Clare...and Eli." Jake said as he passed them, Clare waved hello and Eli just looked down.
"You should go talk to your new boyfriend." Eli grumbled frowning, Clare turned to Eli
"He's not my boyfriend." Clare said not wanting him to think she had moved on so quickly.
"You don't have to lie to me I saw you two kiss yesterday." Eli said looking really sad.
"You saw that?" She asked, Eli nodded
"Bye." He said before walking off before Clare could explain herself. Clare felt horrible. Eli had looked so sad telling her that he had seen her.
LATER
"You ok?" Alli asked her friend as they made their way to the cafeteria. Clare turned to her friend and sighed
"Eli saw Jake and I kiss yesterday and now he thinks me and Jake are together." Clare said. Alli smiled but stopped when she saw Clare's guilt ridden expression and she stopped walking
"Why do you feel bad?" Alli asked her friend, confused that her friend felt bad about kissing someone else. Clare bit her bottom lip. "I mean it's not like you still love him right?" Alli asked, Clare in turn blushed, and Alli sighed frustrated and confused that her friend could still be in love with someone who hurt her.
"Come on Clare you need to stop those feelings for him." Alli said, Clare shrugged
"It's not like I want to still love him I just do." Clare said. Alli sighed and slumped her shoulders
"This is exactly why I think Jake will be so good for you." Alli said, Alli looked at her friend "I'm sorry if I sound mean but I'm just looking out for you." Alli said, Clare gave Alli a half hearted smile
"Don't worry about it. I'm going to go find Jake." Clare said before darting off. Alli smiled and walked to the cafeteria.
Earlier that day in the theatre
Jake worked on one of the backgrounds for the play. All he could think about was kissing Clare again. He never did serious relationships but maybe he could with Clare. He heard someone clear their throat behind him. He turned and saw Eli standing there
"Eli." Jake said nodding hello, Eli had this dark look in his eyes that gave Jake this uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach.
"Jake, are you and Clare together?" Eli asked shoving his hands into the pockets of his khaki pants. Jake smirked, he didn't really like Eli. Clare had told him about how their relationship ended, about the clinginess, the uneasy feeling Clare would get when Eli would get the look he had when he was looking at Jake right now. Jake knew it was wrong to judge someone based on what someone else has said but with Eli he just knew he wouldn't like him.
"What's it to you, she dumped you." Jake said thinking about the kiss he shared with Clare yesterday. Eli flinched at Jake's words
"Answer the question please." Eli said trying to mask his anger.
"Yes." Jake said and Eli nodded and walked away, Jake watched him walk away and thought he saw Eli wipe away some tears.
Present time in the theatre
Clare entered the theatre and saw Jake standing where he was yesterday afternoon. Clare took a deep breath wondering what his reaction will be.
"Hi Jake." She said once she reached him. The boy turned around to face her and smiled when he saw her.
There you have it. Not sure what's going to happen in the next chapter, but ve shall see. I think I butchered Alli and Jake personalities. I'm writing Alli to be trying to make sure Clare doesn't get hurt because she really does want Clare to be happy. As for Jake, not so sure what type of character I want him to be yet. Off topic but the October 24th special, I personally think it would be really mean for Alli to hook up with Jake because I think it's wrong to date your best friend's ex. Thoughts? Review please? : )
