Chapter 4

01.29.13.

Clare had said little to nothing to Eli since that Saturday about 3 weeks ago, they only talked in class when they had to. Bianca, Becky and Clare sat at the dot working on homework they had got earlier today on this Monday that happened to be raining all day. Monday and rain, those Mondays are all ways the best….

"x plus 2xy over 3x squared divided by 2y plus 1 over 6x equals 2….wait...what how the hell do I answer this…" Bianca said very confused and she knew if she wasn't half asleep in that class she would be better off right now, but she was glad Clare was in her class so she could help her.

"Here, you-…." All the girls' phones went off at the same time. Clare pulled her phone out; she got a text message from KC.

"PARTY! At Jenna Middleton's house this Friday at 8 and ends when the last person leaves." Bianca read "we have to go!" she added.

"Uh... I don't know B." Clare said putting her phone in her pocket of her skinny jeans

"Oh, come on Clare bear, it'll be fun." Becky said.

"Yeah, says the girl who is against underage drinking. And we all know that will be going on there." Clare stated.

"Eli will probably be there you know." Bianca pointed out. That's when Clare started packing up her things, she wasn't just about to stay here and get bugged about loving Eli. She put her jacket on and took out her car keys –finally fixed from the mechanic a month later- and grabbed her books from the table.

"Have fun with you're math." Clare said.

"You're mad?" Bianca asked. Clare wasn't mad she was just sick and tried of being bugged about loving eli or bugged about him in any other way, Bianca and Alli –when she was still alive- have been bugging Clare about liking him since the first day of high school when the had French with him, she just wished Bianca would just stop. And at this moment every time they brought him up it made her remember the Saturday with him and how much fun she had hanging out with him.

"No, just annoyed… see you guys at school." Then Clare left. She had 3 pages of math homework to get through, she had to read for English and finish an essay about the same story by tomorrow and honestly didn't have time to be at the dot anyway when she had all that to do, to night was defiantly a coffee night.

It was Friday now and every day Bianca bugged Clare about going to the party, Clare had to even shut her phone off so she wouldn't hear her phone go off every time Bianca would text her about it or call. She also would ask Clare about 10 times a day and Clare was honestly getting tired of it. Clare walked to her locker; end of the ready to go home and not to the party. She always said her combination in her head as she put it in.

01.29.13.

She was putting her books in when Bianca came up and opened her locker fully. Clare jumped, she wasn't paying attention.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack." Clare said holding her hand over her chest.

"Please come." B said, Clare rolled her eyes and grabbed her leather jacket ignoring Bianca.

"Please, please, please, please, please, please. Come on you'll have fun." Bianca begged as Clare put her bag over her shoulder and shut her locker.

"No, I won't." she said and started walked to the doors.

"Please, please, please, please, please, please, please." Bianca kept going and going until they got to the parking lot.

"If I say yes. Will you stop talking ?" Clare asked unlocking her car, Bianca nodded.

Clare sighed. "…fine, I'll go. But I won't be happy, and! Don't you dare ditch me there." Clare said getting in, Bianca smiled a huge grin.

"Great, I'll call Becky, we'll be over at 5ish!" she said walking away.

Clare shut her door say "wonderful…" and started it put it in drive and drove home.

Her mom's car wasn't in the drive way and Clare wondered why as she got out. She headed inside. No one was here, lights out. Quiet. Clare sat her bag on the couch and noticed a note on the table with a 50 laying there. She picked it up and read it out loud.

"Grandma called and wanted me with her for a week; here's 50 for whatever you need while I'm gone love you lots, mom…okay, that's…cool." Clare put the money in her pocket and went up to her room then put it in her wallet. She didn't want to go to this party but she wanted to look decent, she headed to her dresser and dug through them.

She knew Bianca was just gonna make her change once she got here so she layed the outfit on her bed, dark blue skinny jeans with rips on the front with a nice floral top and she thought she would wear her jacket with it. Then went to have a long shower before the girls came over. Clare got out about 40 minute's later and dried her and reapplied her makeup and got redressed in her clothes from before.

Right when Clare thought that they should be here already she heard the door open downstairs.

"Clare?" Becky shouted coming in the house with Bianca.

"Up here!" Clare said from her room seconds later they came in carrying their overnight bags because Clare guessed they planed to stay the night after the party. Bianca dropped her bag and went to the bed and looked at the outfit right away.

"You, miss. Edwards are not wearing that." She stated.

"Yeah, I knew you were gonna say that, that's why I didn't put it on." Clare said. Pushing her bangs out of her eyes.

"Can I take a shower?" Becky asked Clare nodded and Becky left. B went over to Clare's dressers and started digging through making a much bigger mess then Clare had made before. She finished with a lace dress blue high hells and a couple nice bracelets and rings; she also said Clare could wear her leather jacket over it.

"You, miss. Edwards can wear this." She said passing everything to me. Clare sighed, she still didn't want to go but she was only going to make Bianca happy. When they heard Becky singing, B decided it was time to talk to Clare about what happened at the dot and why it made Clare so upset that she had to leave.

"So….uh, why did you storm out of the dot like that on Monday for…?" she asked Clare looked over at her.

"I'd tell you but then you would just have another reason for bugging me about Eli." Clare said simply.

"Clare I won't I promise."

"okay…on that Saturday when me and eli worked on the project….we hung out more instead of work, and he was nothing like I thought we was like an he said that we wanted to hang out more and to call him I wanted to but I never called-"

"What...why?" Bianca cut Clare off

"Will you let me finish?" Bianca nodded "I never called because I'm not willing to let him hurt me more then he has. I felt happy around him but I remembered everything he said to me." Clare finished

"so…you like…him…or being around him…?"

Clare shook her head "I…I like being around him, but-"

"No buts' Clare, you like being around him. Try being his friend." B said

Clare shook her head again "it's not that easy B, you try being picked on and teased by this boy and then after one day you want to be his friend but you remembered everything he did and said to you."

"Well maybe he's sorry-"

"If he was sorry, he would have said it that day, but he never did."

"You won't know unless you try being his friend."

Clare sighed "you don't get it Bianca…, I'm going to change." Then she picked her stuff up and went to the half bathroom down stairs leaving Bianca tapping her foot and looking around the room until one of them came back.
