Author's Note: so I'm updating this one already cause I like to write for this kind of Eli. And I'd like to say that I really don't like Mrs. Torres. She's so mean. I guess she gets kind of nice at the end of 'My Body is a Cage' pt 2, but she seriously makes me SO ANGRY. I love Adam, I just wanna be his best friend. Well, here we gooooo. Review please :D and what are your thoughts on Eli's dark secret? I'm SO PUMPED
Chapter 3
Clare's POV
"Alli. You will never believe what just happened."
"Tell me tell me tell me!"
"Ms. Dawes paired me and Eli as English partners for the ENTIRE year."
"Eli's the new kid, right?"
"YES!"
"Oh my God! Did you talk to him?"
I did. I didn't say anything very witty or exciting, but I did talk to him.
"Yes!"
I was on cloud nine. I don't know why. It's just like; there are no guys like him at the school. He's so interesting. And cute. Actually, he's hot. So much hotter than K.C. or Declan, or any one in our school.
I wanted to get to know him. Why was he so dark? I've never been so intrigued by a boy.
And it seemed like he wanted to get to know me. Oh that smirk. I never saw him smile. He always had a straight face on. But after I talked to him, his face lit up. Like he enjoyed talking to me. I saw him talking to Jenna yesterday and he looked completely pissed off.
He didn't look like that when he talked to me. I guess he didn't really even smile…it was a sarcastic smirk. It was the hottest facial expression that I've ever seen, though.
Eli's POV
This was going to be an interesting school year.
I had something to look forward to; seeing Clare. Her name had a nice ring to it.
I'm not going to fall for her. Just find out if she's different, like me. I'd be spending a lot of time with her because we had to edit each other's work. I wonder when we'd see each other. It's like she knew I was wondering this because she came to my locker.
"Eli, want to go to the Dot after school to go over the English assignment?"
"Is that some kind of code or something?"
What the hell was 'the Dot'?
"Oh, no. The Dot is a café!"
"Right. Well, sounds good to me. Meet me by Morty after school and you can show me where it is." I was about to walk away when she stopped me.
"Wait, who's Morty…?"
Right. She didn't know that I named my car.
"Oh. The hearse. My car. Meet me there, it shouldn't be hard to find."
I walked away. I didn't need to look at her to know she was blushing. Did I make her blush? Or did she just blush all the time, regardless of who she talked to?
I'd like to think it was me who made her blush.
I shouldn't be so naïve though. She was just hanging out with me because we were English partners.
I don't even care if she likes me. If she doesn't want to be friends, that's cool. I don't really want to be friends either.
I'd rather be just English partners with her. If we become friends, she could find out what I'm really like, then hate me.
It's easier to not be friends than to lose a friend. I've lost enough friends in the past to know. I keep telling myself that maybe it'll be different with Clare. I can only hope.
I can honestly say though, I'm actually excited to eat with her at the Dot.
Author's Note: sooo, the story's still kind of week, but it's only chapter 3! Give it a little more time. I promise it'll get better.
