-1"Chapter 3 - Time To Scare"

"Eli, wake up," Clare said shaking him gently. He opened his eyes. "Huh?" he asked in a daze. He looked at her smiling face as she sat beside him. She leaned over and kissed him on the lips. "I've been looking for you," she told him.

He blinked away his daze. "What about Alli?" he asked. Clare nodded her head to the left to signal Eli that Alli was in the row three bookshelves down laughing and giggling with Drew. It looked like they were getting back together.

Eli smiled at her. "What's up?" he asked. Clare smiled seductively in response. "I was thinking maybe I could come home with you tonight. Then, maybe we could have a little...fun." She twirled her fingers on his arm.

Eli felt..something stirring inside him. He was starting to get a little excited. He'd wanted to be that intimate with Clare two weeks after they'd officially dated. She'd wanted sex, but she'd wanted it for the wrong reasons. He didn't want to let her have her way then regret it for the rest of her life. He knew she would regret if they had sex right then, so he wanted to wait until she was ready.

Now, she looked pretty damn ready.

Eli leaned closer to her and kissed her gently on the lips. "Are you sure?" he asked. He didn't want to take any chances.

Clare nodded. "Never been more sure," she replied.

"What are they doing?" Bianca shouted. All eyes looked to the front door that could be seen through the glass. The rain was letting up a little and everyone could see Simpson locking the doors to the school. His raincoat covered his face and everyone could hear him yelling at someone over the rain. He was probably on one of those Blue Tooth head sets.

Ms. Oh ran out of the library and up to the door. Simpson had already turned away and started walking, still yelling at his Blue Tooth. She banged on the doors. "Simpson wait!" she shouted. He didn't hear her and kept walking. The rain and his shouting were too loud.

She continued banging on the door trying to get his attention.

The students that had been in the library ran up to Ms. Oh and started banging on the doors with her. Simpson had already gotten in his car and started it. There was no way he would hear them now.

Fiona sighed in annoyance. "Don't you have a key?" she asked Ms. Oh. Ms. Oh shook her head. "None of the teachers do," she answered. "Simpson had the bright idea to get the locks changed. The only problem was that he didn't think about ordering new keys for the locks before the locks were changed."

KC punched the glass on the doors. "This is bullshit!" he shouted. "Watch your language," Ms. Oh reprimanded.

"This is just great," Chantay complained. "Who knows how long we'll be stuck here."
