CLARE POV

After thinking everything through, I still sat there, lying on my rock, wishing that there was some decent person in this world who could take me, and make my life perfect. Not just like a little fling, but I need commitment, real commitment. But real commitment doesn't exist.

ELI POV

Clare was supposed to be here two hours ago, for the second picture, she still isn't here. Her parents have called her cell phone multiple times, and even then she didn't answer. I wonder what the hell is going on.

"I told you she doesn't care about this, you should just let me do the damn picture." I rolled my eyes; of course Darcy would want to.

CLARE POV

I look at my phone and see its 12 pm. Shit, I was late to the photo shoot, but frankly I don't care. I decided to go to my dorm to change.

When I got there, there were screaming girls running up to me, shit.

"Oh my god! How is working with thee Eli Goldsworthy?"

"It's a piece a cake!" I said rolling my eyes.

"Isn't he sooooo amazing?"

"The best," I said sarcastically. They all gave me dirty looks as I went to my room. I changed, and showered, than I finally made my way to the dot.

"Where the hell were you?" I rolled my eyes at Darcy.

"Where ever the hell I wanted to be, I told you I hate the fact that I'm doing this, so if I happen to be late, I really don't care." She huffed.

I walked outside, to see an angry mod, yelling.

"There she is! She hates Eli!" I smiled to myself, rolled my eyes, and walked back inside.

"Here's your next outfit Ms. Edwards."

"Thanks!" I said with faux enthusiasm. After I changed I finally realized what I was wearing.

"What the hell is this? Candy land?" I had on a skin tight pink mini skirt, with a purple and blue halter top, and lollipop designs on the breasts. She had stockings on, and little pink frilly slip-ons.

"Hell no."

Eli was wearing the same thing as yesterday, I finally realized what the picture represented, he was "corrupting my innocence." I laughed out loud.

"Who came up with the idea's for these pictures, I mean lets get real."

ELI POV

I chuckled at Clare's reaction to her outfit, it was funny. Her sister came up with these ideas, so I knew they were stupid.

"Is this the last picture finally?" I shook my head.

"When are you going to leave?" she looked generally pissed, with life as we know it. I couldn't help but notice, that Declan was never around, and she glared at this blonde girl, who worked at the dot, every so often.

"Clare, you stand here, yes, now guys put down the black backdrop." There was a black back drop with Clare standing in front of it, looking ridiculous, yet sexy at the same time. They then put a pink spot light on me, while I stood behind Clare, but far enough so that the pink brought out the black in my clothes.

Clare had on this "ima goody goody, which's life, is SUPER perfect all the time" face, and I had an evil grin spread across my face.

CLARE POV

I kept glaring at Tinsley, having no idea she was working here, but she was the girl Declan was sneaking around with. Once the pictures were done, I went to get a drink, and change clothes, but Tinsley was there, trying her hardest to get Elijah's attention. It sickened me. I pushed passed her to get to the soda machine, but I didn't touch her. I got my soda, and set it down on the table, to fix my hood. Then I felt cold liquid on my legs.

"Oops, didn't mean to spill it, sorry. Here you can clean it up with this." She was handing me my shirt." I was beyond livid.

"You bitch." She glared at me. I pulled my fist back, and let it sling forward to punch her.

"That'll teach you, Skank!" she fell on her ass, and glared at me, than jumped up.

"Your just mad, that Declan would rather have me than you!"

"If that was the case, then why wouldn't he break up with me?"

"Because you were just another screw!" I laughed, with fake humor.

"I never slept with Declan, so he must've actually liked me, while you just gave him open access to your vagina!"

"BITCH!"

"SKANK!" I punched her again, this time she got up, looked around, and walked away. I then looked around, realizing that all eyes were on me.

I looked around before running out of the door. I didn't listen to anyone I just ran. Not once did I lose my breath, I, simply ran.

I reached the spot on my rock, and thought about what Tinsley said.

"Your just mad Declan would rather have me than you."

"You were just another screw."

Jane had a boyfriend, so she would've been a fun game to play, the "catch." I soon realized Saint Clare, was just another catch, another game. To strip me of my innocence, literally.

I was just the chase…

ELI POV

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, Clare totally man handled this girl, Blondey. I was curious as to why they were fighting but soon I caught the gist of it. Declan cheated on Clare. Asshole, I mean why? Clare is perfect! I mean, sure she was a total bitch, and she was mean as hell to me, but that made me like her even more. She was different than all the other girls.

When Clare started running, I planned on catching up but this girl was like a track star, damn! She ran, and ran. I eventually saw her, lying on a rock, deep in thought, and a tear slid down her cheek. It hurt to see her hurt, even though all her intentions are against me.

GOAL: prove to Clare, I'm not who she thinks I am.

"So, Edwards, how comfy is this rock?"

"What the hell do you want?" she rapidly, wiped all traces of tears from her face.

"Calm down, Machismo, I just wanted to see if your okay is all." She smiled lightly, but than pure hatred filled her eyes.

"All of you players and assholes will be the death of me I swear. I'm SO stupid." I smiled.

"I'm not a player, and for the asshole comment, I'll let it slide."

"That's what a player would say. Also that's what an asshole would say too." She smiled at me… WAIT! She smiled at me. Not glared, or spat on, but smiled!

"Is that a smile?" she shook her head, just when I thought, "he might not be that big of a douche, you pull this shit."

I think we might get along after all…
