Clare's POV

As I was walking to my locker the next day, I felt… excited. I couldn't wait to put me and Eli's plan into action. I got to my locker, and started to put in my combination. I opened my locker, and I saw Eli walking down the hallway, towards me.

Once he reached me, Eli leaned on the locker next to mine. "Hey, you." I said.

"Hey, Blue Eyes." He said. I smiled. I love his nickname for me. It's so much better than Saint Clare or ugh, Clarebear.

"So," I said, "What're we gonna do about our little plan?"

Eli thought for a moment, "Well, if Plan Turn the Tables is going into action, we need to figure out the details."

"Like what?" I asked.

"Well," Eli said, "For starters we need to start arguing. Even about the little stuff."

"Okay," I said, "When do we start?"

Eli looked past me. "How about now?" He said. I turned around and sure enough, Adam and Drew were walking down the hallway. I flashed Eli a smile, and then got my 'angry face' on. I stared in my locker, which was open the whole time we were talking, and started shoving books in there angrily.

"Why can't you just listen to me?" Eli started, getting Adam and Drew's attention.

"Because you're not making any sense!" I shouted back.

We didn't even know what we were 'fighting' over, until Eli thought of a topic on the top of his head, "You got rid of two paragraphs in my essay! I'm not that wordy!" He said, loudly.

I finished my book shoving, and slammed my locker shut. "Yes, Eli, yes you are. Just face the facts, Mrs. Dawes said herself that your work was a little wordy! Believe me, that was the understatement of the year." I said.

"God, Clare! You're so-" He started, but I interrupted him.

"I don't want to talk about this anymore, Eli! Just leave it alone!" I yelled, and stormed off, while Eli scoffed and shook his head. Right before I turned the corner, I quickly winked at Eli, and he flashed me a smirk. He smirked so quickly, that you would've missed it if you weren't looking. With that, I walked around the corner and headed off to my class.

Eli's POV

I slid down the lockers and watched Clare walk away. "That couldn't have gone better," I thought.

Just as I sat down, I saw Adam and Drew walk towards me with confused and worried faces.

"Perfect," I thought, "Come on, Eli. Look angry and annoyed." I leaned my head back against the lockers and sighed. Then, I ran my hand through my hair, just as the Torres brothers were coming up.

"Hey," Drew said, "Are you okay, man?" He asked.

"No, I'm not 'okay'!" I snapped back. Drew held his hands up in defense, and backed up a bit. Did I really look that scary? Probably.

"Dude, what happened?"Adam said, cautiously.

"I don't want to talk about it, okay?" I said, harshly. Adam nodded his head slowly, and him and Drew said goodbye. Once they were out of sight, I smiled, "Phase one, complete."

Adam's POV

"Wow," I said, to my brother.

"Yeah," Drew said. We walked into school, talking about random stuff, when we saw Eli and Clare yelling at each other in the hallway. I mean, they were full-on yelling. They must've been really mad... When we reached them, Clare had stormed off, and Eli slid down the lockers. We both tried to talk to him, but he was too steamed to say anything besides, 'I don't want to talk about it.'

"I've never really seen them fight before." Drew said.

"That's because they haven't." I pointed out, "I think this was their first real fight."

Drew nodded his head, and we stopped walking when we came to Alli's locker.

Alli's POV

Darn it! I lost the bet. My bet was that they would get together yesterday, and they didn't! I knew I should've bet longer... Oh well, since I didn't win, I might as well root for someone else. As I was thinking, I saw Drew and Adam, walk up to me.

"Hey guys," I said.

"Hey, Alli." Adam said, while Drew just greeted me with a kiss.

When we broke apart, Drew said, "Did you see what happened with Eli and Clare?"

Something in his voice told me, it wasn't good news, "What happened?" I asked.

Adam spoke up, "When Drew and I were walking down the hall, we saw them full-on yelling at each other about something. They were fighting and Clare walked away, while Eli just sat there, steaming mad." He said.

My eyebrows rose, "Wow," I said, "I've never really seen them fight before."

"That's what I said!" Drew piped in.

I smiled at him, and Adam cleared his throat, "Yeah," He said, "I think this was their first real fight." I nodded.

After a small silence, Drew spoke. "This'll do tons of damage on our bets." He said. Me and Adam glared at him. "What?" He said. I sighed, and Adam shook his head. Oh, Drew...


Alli lost the bet! But, who will she root for? Who will win the bet in the end? Will anyone win? Will Clare and Eli's plan work? Who will Eli and Clare pretend to flirt with? Will there be jealousy in the air? Am I confusing you? Am I getting on your nerves? Am I asking to many questions? Why yes! I am asking too many questions! Review (Hit that button!)
