Clare's POV
I was walking to English eagerly, when an arm pulled me back. I turned around.
"KC, what the hell...?"
"I need to talk to you."
He had an intense grip on my arm. I was afraid of the circulation being cut off.
I turned around to see Eli looking at us, he looked worried and angry.
I mouthed "It's OK."
Unwillingly he turned around in his seat.
"Fine, but make it quick."
"I want you back."
I couldn't believe it. He wanted me back?
"You what?"
"I still love and want to be with you."
I wasn't sure if I did have someone else to be with, but either way that was my excuse.
"KC, I found someone else."
"Who, the emo kid?"
"Maybe."
"But... he could never love you like I do."
I couldn't believe him.
"You had your chance. You gave it up. You have no one but yourself to blame."
"I regret it so much, Jenna wasn't worth it."
"Well, you thought she was, if you would excuse me, I need to get to class."
I walked away as the late bell rang, and KC just stood there and glared at Eli, Eli glared back, with one of his smirks. I loved those smirks.
Eli's POV
I saw Clare arguing with whom I assumed to be her ex. He glared at me... I don't know why, but as a reflex I glared straight back. She quietly stalked into the room. And people thought I was dark.
"Clare, are you OK?"
"Yeah, completely fine."
"You sure?"
"Um, yeah."
I could always tell when she was lying, I could read her like a book.
I turned around and class began.
After class, we walked in the halls and talked, but I brought up the dude she was talking to again.
"Clare, who was that?"
"Oh, just someone I know."
"Clare..."
"Fine! My ex-boyfriend."
"What did he have to say?"
"He wanted me back."
"What did you say?"
"I said no... obviously, that would be wrong on soo many levels."
"How did you let him down?" I said in my sarcastic tone, and put on a smirk.
"I told him I was seeing someone else."
"Ooh, who's the lucky fella?"
"Aah, no one, I lied to get him off my back."
"Nice, sounds like something I would do. I think I'm a bad influence on you, Edwards."
"You are not." She replied blushing.
"So talk to you later tonight?"
"Definetly!"
Glad to be of service to her.
KC's POV
I saw them walking down the hall.
She seemed very engrossed in what he had to say.
I never had that effect on her. I never made her blush. I was never her best friend. We went from just plain old friends to a couple.
I'm glad she's happy.
I just don't want her happy with HIM.
Something about Dr. Doom felt off. Never right.
I will always love Clare Edwards. But she has moved on.
But I can't LET her move on, not with him, I've got to stop this.
