Omg. I dont even know what to say right now, other than YOU GUYS ARE UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING! Seriously, you guys are totally awesome! I only asked for another five reviews and I now have twenty seven! How awesome is that? I love you guys! Thanks for all the support, especially all of the alerts and reviews! They make my day! No lie. So, a few of you asked about making the chapters longer, and I agree, the others were quite short. So I tried to make this one longer. Tell me what you think! I hope you like it, I'd hate to find out that I disapointed you. Can we try to make it to over thirty reviews? That would be great! Thank you all again!

Clare's POV

I cannot believe I just said that, I thought to myself as I plopped down on my bed, completely mortified. I couldn't help it, it just slipped out. It's official. I can never step foot outside of my house again, in fear of seeing him. I just got here and I've already made a complete fool out of myself. Right then, Max jumped up on my bed. I pet him for a few minutes as I thought about the green eyed boy. "Ugh, what am I gonna do Max?" Max then jumped off my bed and ran out my bedroom door. "Thanks for the support Max!" I hollered to him, as if he understood an ounce of what I was saying.

"I know, I'll call Sarah, she always makes me feel better." I sat up on my bed, propped up against the headboard, and pulled my cell phone from my pocket. I quickly dialed her number and waited for a response. No answer. No biggie, sometimes she doesn't pick up the first time. I'll just try again. I dialed her number again. It rang three times before she finally picked up. I heard a muffled "Hello?" "Sarah?" "Clare? Hey just a sec." "Okay" "Shh, shh, be quiet" I heard her say to someone in the background, giggling. "Okay Clare, whats up?" "Ugh, Sarah, you are never going to believe this, I made a com- "Baby, who is it?" I heard a familiar male voice say in the background. "Sarah, who is that?" "Huh?, who? What do you mean?" "Sarah, I heard someone in the background, and it sounded an aweful lot like Matt." "That's ridiculous Clare, you know I can't stand Matt." "It doesn't seem that way right now baby". I heard the familiar voice say again. "That is Matt! Sarah what are two doing?" "Uh, Nothing" "It doesn't sound like nothing to me" I said angrily. "Listen Clare, I didn't want you to find out because I knew you'd be mad" "Mad? Mad? Oh, I am beyond mad Sarah! I'm hurt. All this time, you told me you hated Matt, and you just hung around with him to make me happy! It was all a lie! You just tried to make me think you hated each other so you could sneak around behind my back! You even made me think Matt liked me! Tell me why Sarah? Actually you know what, I dont want to hear it. All this time I thought you guys were my friends! Why did you act like you were my friend for so long, when you clearly weren't? Can you answer me that Sarah?" "Clare, I am your frie-" "No. No!, don't even say it! Just spare me. You know what, if this is your idea of friendship, then I dont want to be any part of it. This friendship is over Sarah, have a nice life."

I hung up the phone, and the unshed tears that had formed in my eyes while I was talking to Sarah, all came crashing down. I was heartbroken. I had lost the only friends I had. But then again, I suppose it was no great loss, considering they weren't really my friends to begin with. Great, who the heck am I suppose to talk to now? It's the middle of summer, it's not like I can exactly make a bunch of new friends, like I'd be able to at school. I dont know, maybe a good nap would do for now. Just to get my mind off of things.

"CLARE, HONEY, COULD YOU COME DOWN HERE?" I woke up hearing my mom yell from downstairs. I slowly rubbed my eyes, and checked the clock. It was 5:30 pm, man I slept for quite a while. I guess I really did need to catch up on my sleep. "YEAH, COMING MOM!" I quickly replied. I walked down stairs, and found my mom in the living room reading a book. "Hey mom, how long have you guys been home?" I asked her. "Oh, hey sweety, a few hours. When we got home I went up to your room to check on you but you were asleep, so I just let you be. I figured you were still tired out from the move. I know it's been a couple of days, but I realize its been stressful for you. I know you didn't want to move honey, but your father and I appreciate how much you have cooperated with us, and how great of a sport you've been through this all, I know it's tough, but I really do hope that you will come to find that you like it here. Who knows, maybe this place will hold something you love someday." Pff, I doubt that, I thought to myself. "Yeah, maybe. So, how come you called me down?" "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Your father has been in the garage for quite a while working on my car. One of the neighbors were walking by earlier, and saw him, and was generous enough to ask if he wanted some help. Since it's been so hot out, I figured you could bring them each a fresh glass of lemonade." "Yeah, sure. Hey do you think dad will let me take his car? I just want to go out and get some ice cream." "Im sure he wont have a problem with it honey, just ask on your way out to make sure." "Okay, I'll see you later." "Bye, sweety."

After pouring two glasses of lemonade, I made my way out to the garage. I could see four feet sticking out from underneath moms car, and heard the clanging of metal. "Hey dad, I brought you out some lemonade." "Well good morning sleeping beauty. I thought you'd never wake up." I heard my dad say from under the car. "Haha" I fake laughed back. I heard my dad chuckle and he told me that they would be up in a second. They were just putting some last finishing touches on.

Finally, my dad rolled his way out from underneath the car and stood up. "Here, fresh lemonade." "Mmm" He said after tasting it. "Thats good. Hey Eli, why dont you get up here and have some of this lemonade my daughter brought out for us." "Alright Mr. Edwards." As soon as the boy rolled out from under the car and stood up, my heart dropped. It was the green eyed boy from earlier. The very one I was going to try to avoid at all costs. My face turned bright pink again, and I tried to head back into the house, until my father stopped me. "Clare wait. Aren't you going to give Eli his lemonade?" "U-uh r-right." I slowly made my way over to him, and his smirking face, and shakily handed him his glass. "Thanks Barbie" I heard him whisper before I walked back to where I was. Thats it, who does this kid think he is? He cant just keep calling me Barbie and get away with it. I turned around towards him, regaining my composure, as I was slightly irritated, and was no longer worried about how embarrased I was, and glared at him. And you know what he did? He just stood there and smirked at me! The nerve of this kid. Someone should really put him in his place.

I tried to ignore him, and focused on my dad. "Hey dad, is it okay if I take your car? I wanted to go get some icecream." "Thats fine Clare, just drive safe honey." He threw me the keys and I started to head to his car, when I heard him speak. "Hey, mind if I tag along? I really have nothing better to do." " Thats a great idea, it's been hot out here, and you've really helped me out alot, I appreciate it." My jaw just about hit the ground. I couldn't believe my father just agreed to this crap. "It was no problem Mr. Edwards" Eli said to my fathers whilst shaking his hand. "Now you two have fun. But no funny business. I've gotten to know you pretty well today Eli, and you seem like a decent kid, so respect my daughter, I'm trusting you." "I will sir dont worry." With that, I rolled my eyes and stompped my feet, the whole way to the drivers side of my dads car, mumbling unruly profanities to myself. I was probably overreacting, but this kid had called me Barbie! Not once, but twice!
