I hissed. It hurt. I felt a welt on my face. I turned around and scowled while hold my cheek.
"Oh m-my God!"
Oh my God is right that hurt! Mmmm…
"Ow. That really hurt ,Clare."
"I'm so sorry!" God she was cute when she was horrified.
"Hit me again." I say.
"E-excuse me?" she says confusedly.
Don't look at me like that. I said it hurt. I didn't say I didn't like it.
Clare's P.o.v
Whoa, ok what just happened?
1. Why in Earth did I hit this perfect piece of scrumptiousness?
2. Why does he want me to do it again?
The next part shocked me the most. I stared at him. He made me so angry. He made me want to hit him. And so I did.
For the second time I hesitantly slapped him in the face making sure he felt the cold metal of my purity ring hit him in the face. Hard.
This blow him made him groan. His face turned to the side. Then he grabbed his cheek and smiled.
I felt bad. I leaned up and kissed his cheek.
Then he grabbed my wrists and kissed my forehead.
I was surprised at the sensitivity and tenderness of the kiss. He smiled, got up and walked back to his seat.
As quick as detention started, it ended. I sighed as I walked home. I was deep in thought about the boy. The boy. Who was he? He seemed so enamored with me after only knowing me for two days. And the strange part was…was that I was enamored with him too.
I stopped dead in my tracks when a black car came out of the blue. It looked like one of those old cars. I forget what they're for….
A hearse! That's what it was. Well the black car stopped on the sidewalk near me. And as if on cue, the subject of my thoughts arose from the driver's seat.
"E-eli." I say.
"Look ,Clare about today, I'm sor-"
"No, don't be! I shouldn't have slapped you."
He chuckled.
"You know, I let you get away with that."Oh sure you did." I say sarcastically.
We laughed.
"So why don't we just put this junk behind us. Deal?"
"Deal."
We shake hands. And at that point. I feel sorrow. As if I had lost something.
Maybe I was being selfish. I had gained a friend, but lost- what? A sex buddy?
We go our separate ways for the evening. He drives off in that hearse. And I walk.
Eli's P.o.v
I drove off in Morty as I saw Clare, her curvy hips, those long legs, and those bouncy curls trot away.
I'm sure Clare is a great friend… but let's face it, I have no intention on just being her friend.
I like her to much.
I park Morty out front, and unlock the front door. My parents aren't home yet. Probably out party again. I hop in the shower and get dressed for bed.
I lay my head on the pillow and doze off…
"Oh ,Eli!", Clare giggles. "You're so funny!" She punches my arm playfully and rest her head against my shoulder. I kiss her forehead.
No not good enough.
I kiss her cheek.
Still no good. It just doesn't feel right to kiss her in a brotherly way.
I cup her face in my hands, and gently kiss her lips.
Ah, now that's better…
RIIIIIING!
I jolt up in bed, and groan as I hit my alarm clock.
"Right when we were getting to the good part."
I get dressed in my black skinny jeans with a grey and black v-neck T-shirt.
I walk down stairs noticing my parents passed out on the couch.
Sigh.
I walk back upstairs to fetch some blankets. I tuck my mother and father in and lock the door as I leave and climb in Morty.
"Alli, I got absolutely no sleep last night!"
"Well maybe if you'd stop having wet dreams about Eli-"
"Alli!"
"Kidding, Clare. Why are you so defensive? Maybe you do love him."
"I do not love Eli Goldsworthy!"
"That's exactly what a person who does love Eli would say."
"Alli!"
She giggles.
We continue to chat idly until I see a very handsome young man walk my way.
"Eli.." I breathed
I covered my mouth instantly.
Alli smiles and retreats in the building. Just like her to force me to face my fears.
"Clare!"
I jump. "Oh hey, Eli."
"Did you have a good night's sleep?"
"Uhm, you could say that. What about you?"
He blushed. Wait, he blushed?
"Oh um yeah you know…"
I smiled…you can't help but smile when you're around a cute guy like that.
He chats about something, but I don't listen.
Without warning I managed to ruin my own life in a matter of seconds.
I lean up and do the unspeakable.
I KISS HIM!
I don't know why I did that.
I pull back.
"Clare…" ,he whispers.
No, no I just can't. I can't even look at him.
I feel like an idiot. I turn around and run ito the school trying desperately to wipe the tears forming in my eyes.
Eli's .
I touch my lip and smirk.
As I said before, I have no intention on just being her friend, I like her too much.
And she likes me.
Or does she? Good luck Eli! You may just need it…
