I'm happy with the reviews and alerts. :D Here's the next chapter!
"Dude," Eli said walking up to me, "do you know what's wrong with Clare? She's been avoiding me all day."
Well crap. This is just how I wanted to start out a new day. Finding out that, because of my lie, Clare is avoiding Eli. "I have no clue why she's avoiding you." I didn't sound convincing.
"Really?" he said. He's suspicious, I can tell by the way he's squinting his eyes. And his tone of voice.
"Umm…" I need to think of a lie! "Well…"
"Umm, well, what?" I think he was about ready to strangle me.
"Well… I kind of let it slip that you like her. And…" great, just pull yourself down further Adam.
"And, what?" Now he just sounded nervous.
"Well… She said…" Should I really go through with this? I'd be a horrible friend if I did. But I've already been a horrible friend, so, what the heck? "That she already knew that and she didn't feel the same. She also said she's going to transfer out of your English class. She said it would be too awkward." That part wasn't a lie.
"Oh." He sounded heartbroken. I thought Clare's voice was bad. Eli's was ten times worse. I don't know how I sleep at night. I am a cruel heartless person. Although, if I don't have a heart, could I still be in love with Eli? "I.. I uh, I gotta go." And with that he ran out the door. He was probably going to go to the park and cry. Why must this be so hard? Why can't I be the one he loves? Why does it have to be Clare? I know what I have to do, and I don't like it one bit.
Eli's P.O.V
Did I do something to make her think I didn't like her? I flirt with her all the time. I'm pretty sure she flirts back. So what's the problem? I really thought we had something. And then to hear from Adam… wait a minute. I didn't hear this directly from Clare. I heard it through Adam. But Adam wouldn't have a reason to lie about that. Would he? I decided I wasn't going to wait around to find out. I drove back to the school.
Sorry about how short it is. I'll probably be updating soon though! :D I have plans for the next chapter. Again, thanks to the people that reviewed and added me to alerts. You guys rock! Read and Review!
