AFTER SCHOOL

So after school today instead of hanging out with Ali talking about how much we enjoyed the first day of school I went to meet up with Spinner at the Dot to talk. When I was walking outside to go I ran into Eli who was leaning again his car.

"So Edwards were are you going in such a rush?" He asked me

" Well I was suppose to go meet up with one of my old friends I haven't seen in a while because my older sister told him to come check on me to see if I'm okay and if I actually went to school today and didn't just skip it because I'm nervous." Clare told him

" Well do you want a ride to where ever you're going. Because if you do I would be happy to give you a lift there so you wont get hurt or in trouble." Eli said smiling

" Sure I would love a lift but I'm just going right there to the Dot though so I don't think you would want to just drop me off there." Clare said shyly smiling

" I wouldn't mind plus if something happened to you just from you walking there I would never be able to forgive myself." He said

" Well then lets go because I have to get there soon so he wont leave because I don't want to stand him up because I know he's been stood up before and he really doesn't like it." I said

" Okay so lets go before something bad happens." He said walking to open the door for me

AT THE DOT ( Clare's POV)

"Well thank you Eli for driving me here I don't know what I would have done if something happened to me and I wouldn't have you there to help me get here." Clare Said

" Don't worry it's my pleasure to do anything for a friend. Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow." He said

" Yea you will." Clare said walking into the Dot

So when Clare walked into the Dot she saw someone she never expected to see in a million years. Jane she thought. She must be going back out with Spinner if she's here too.

" Hey Jane. What are you doing here. I'm not trying to be rude I'm just curious I never thought you'd be here again." I said hugging her

" Well me and Spinner are still dating and your sister Darcy called him to check on you and make sure you are okay and to tell you that she should be back soon." Jane said

"Well that's good to hear. So where's Spinner he told me to meet him hear so we can talk because I was going to be late to my first class. " I said sitting down

" Oh Spinner just went to the bathroom so he should be back soon. So the important question is Who was that boy that dropped you off here? Do you like him? Does he like you?" Jane asked

" Okay and to answer your questions that was my friend Eli we have English Class together. Yes I do like him really bad. I don't know if he likes me but I really hope he does. And the only reason he dropped me off here was so that I didn't get hurt." I said

"Well if he went out of his way to make sure you don't get hurt then that means that he likes you and so all you have to do is make sure that nobody comes in between you but make sure to get to know him better before anything happens got that. Oh here comes Spinner don't talk about Eli in front of him because Spinner thinks of you as his little sister so he will end up hurting Eli." Jane said

"Hey Spinner what's up." I asked

"Nothing so I guess you were just talking to Jane about something as long as you weren't talking about liking anybody because you know I will hunt down that boy." He said

"Don't worry Spinner me and Clare weren't talking about boys we were talking about hanging out this weekend maybe going to the movies for a girls night out." Jane said

" Yea we were even thinking about inviting my best friend Ali. You remember her? She's Sav's little sister." I said looking at him

" Yea I remember her . So how was your first day of 10th grade I hope I didn't make you late to your class." Spinner said taking a seat next to me

"No I wasn't late don't worry . It was actually pretty good. I meet 3 new people. Their names are Eli Adam and Drew. Eli and Adam are best friends and Drew is Adams older brother who Ali has a HUGE crush on." I said laughing

"So how did you get here so fast usually it takes about 10 minutes to get here." Spinner asked

"Well my friend dropped me off so I didn't get hurt." I said

"Jane what friend of hers is she talking about because I know her and she wont tell me because she thinks I'm going to hurt them" Spinner said

" Spinner I'll only tell you if you don't freak out" She said

Right when Jane was about to tell Spinner who dropped me off the door to the Dot opened and the people who happened to walk in was Adam and Eli. Great Spinner better not do anything too risky to them.

"Hey Clare what's up." Adam asked me

"Umm talking to my old friends and what are you doing here with Eli?" I asked giving Eli the death glare

" Well Eli picked me up from Drew's practice and brought me here."

"So Clare you left this is my car when I dropped you off." He said handing me my Twilight book

"So Clare who is this fine young feller giving you your book." Spinner asked looking at Eli

" Well Spinner these are my friends Eli and Adam. Adam and Eli this is my friend Spinner and his amazing girlfriend Jane they use to go to Degrassi but the graduated 2 years ago." I said

" Its nice to meet you guys so I hope that you guys don't hurt my Clear-Bear." Spinner said

"Spinner I told you not to use my nickname in front of anybody mostly my friends." I said

" Sorry Clare I guess I'll just go and let you guys hang out. Come on Jane." Spinner said getting up

"Okay Spinner. I guess I'll see you this weekend Clare. Don't forget to call me." Jane said hugging me goodbye

" I wont and have fun you guys." I said watching Spinner and Jane leave

ADAM'S POV

"So Clare your friends seem really nice. How long have you known them?" I asked her

" Yea they are nice. I've know then since I was 5 years old." Clare said

"So Clare Why was that Spinner dude looking at me so evilly?" Eli asked

" Well to tell you the truth Eli , Spinner thinks of me as his little sister so he doesn't want anyone to hurt me so he keeps them away from me that last boyfriend I had cheated on me and Spinner came here just to have a little talk with him." I said

" So why didn't he say anything to me?" I asked her

" Spinner doesn't see you ever thinking of hurting me so he didn't feel the need to talk to you or give you the death stare." Clare told me

" So Spinner thinks that I'm going to hurt you somehow. So he's just trying to protect you. Did you tell him that I drove you here so you wouldn't get hurt. The only reason I drove you here was because I was going to tell you something but I didn't want to scare you when I told you." Eli told Clare

" Eli don't worry I know what you were going to tell me and I'm not scared because I feel the same way." Clare said smiling

" So can someone please tell me what's happening because I'm truly confused by you guys." I said looking at them

" Well what's going on is that we both told the other person that we like them." Clare said

"So what's going to happen now? Are you guys going to date or what. Because since Eli saw you Clare he couldn't stop talking about you." I said

" So Clare do you want to go out with me?" Eli asked Clare

" I would love to go out with you ." Clare said hugging Eli

ELI'S POV

Yes ! I asked Clare out and she actually said she would. I hope that she isn't just playing a joke on me because if she is that wouldn't be cool because I really like her.
