Song: The Only Exception by Paramore

---

Elijah Goldsworthy was the only exception.

Clare had sworn off guys after KC cheated on her and then dumped her for that bimbo Jenna.

She had felt strong feelings for Eli when she first met him. Their hands had slightly brushed when she was getting her glasses from him.

He was mysterious; someone she would have never fell for before her makeover. Alli had given her a boost of confidence too, saying that she was one of the "hotter" nerds at this school.

But after she met him, she felt love for him.

That's the reason that Elijah was her only exception. In love… and everything else.

But darlin',

You, are, the only exception

But, you, are, the only exception

But, you, are, the only exception

You, are, the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere

Deep in my soul

That love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways

To make it alone

Or keep a straight face
