A/N: I am SOOOOOO sorry guys =( it's been way to long since I last updated. I feel so bad I hope you guys can forgive me? =/ and I hope this chapter makes up for the long wait.
So without further ado here's the severely delayed 11th chapter of Sociopath…
"Whoa dude I'm sorry"
"It's alright Adam you didn't know. You wanna know something?'
"Hmm"
"I – I still love her man. I just wanna be with her" Eli said a small frown on his face.
"But weren't you guys just at each other's throats? I mean you called her a fake bitch."
"I didn't mean it Adam" Eli shook his head "I only said that because she called me an asshole and a user she made me mad… She really hates me and I don't blame her."
"Maybe she'll come around "
"No she won't which is why I can't keep doing this to myself"
"What are you gonna do?"
"Avoid her as much as I can problem solved" Eli said taking one of Adams fries.
Clare came out of the bathroom stall wiping her eyes. How dare him she wasn't fake and she certainly wasn't a bitch.
She washed her face and looked at herself in the mirror. "How can I love such a mean person" She said quietly.
She walked out of the bathroom and down the hall running her hand across the lockers before sliding down against them.
She buried her face in her knees and sighed. Alli was right she wasn't ok. The thought of leaving Degrassi crossed her mind and as much as she wanted to the other half of her told her that she loved this school and that she shouldn't leave.
"Be brave Clare there's a simple solution to this problem just avoid him at all costs" She told herself.
What the two teenagers forgot about was to never underestimate the power of Mrs. Dawes.
"Alright gentle people" Mrs. Dawes began 'Welcome back to another exciting year of English. Now I don't really need to go over all the polices and what's to be expected of you all in my class because most of you already know what is like. Something similar that we had last year that we will have again this year will be writing partners." Mrs. Dawes said as she picked up a clipboard off her desk. 'When I call your names if your not near your partner please go sit by them."
Mrs. Dawes began calling name as Eli sat in his seat coloring his nails. When Mrs. Dawes said there were gonna be partners again this year he grew slightly nervous. But she wouldn't make him and Clare partners again right? She had to have seen the tension between them everyone else seemed to and plus they were on total opposite sides of the room.
Eli turned his head slightly and glanced over at Clare. She was doodling on her note book her mind elsewhere until she felt his eyes on her. She looked up and locked eyes with him for a brief second until he quickly looked away and back at his nails.
Yeah Mrs. Dawes wouldn't be that stupid- "Elijah Goldsworthy and Clare Edwards"
Eli's eyes widened and he heard Clare gasp on the other side of the room.
"What?" they both shouted.
"Is there a problem?" Mrs. Dawes asked looking at them slightly confused.
Yes" Clare spoke up "Mrs. Dawes can you please give us different partners?"
"Why dear? You guys were my best partnership last year."
Clare remained Silent and Eli grew frustrated.
Why does she have to be so fucking nosey its none of her business!
"It's none of your business why can you just assign us to different people!" Eli snapped and Mrs. Dawes narrowed her eyes at him.
"Mr. Goldsworthy watches your tone" she said in a warning voice.
Eli rolled his eyes and looked down at his desk.
Mrs. Dawes than looked over Clare "I'm sorry miss Edwards the partnership stays now please go sit with Mr. Goldsworthy.
Clare sighed and grabbed her things to move behind him as Eli mumbled profanities at Mrs. Dawes.
"This is gonna be a long year" Clare mumbled
You got that right he thought
The first few weeks of the semester were surprisingly pleasant to Clare's surprise. Mrs. Dawes had assigned easy assignments and the only time her and Eli saw each other or spoke was when they were editing each other's papers.
Other than that her and Adam had become good friends and hung out when Eli wasn't around to avoid conflict.
2 months later Clare finally thought things were gonna be ok and she could finally get over Eli and the past. That was until Mrs. Dawes decided to assign a big project that required you and your partner to spend at least 2 weeks together after school.
As soon as the bell signaled the end of class Clare simply stood up and told him "Dot after school"
Eli just nodded and grabbed his things leaving the room.
At the dot Eli shook his leg furiously and bit his lip as he waited for Clare. Was Mrs. Dawes trying to make him suffer? He hated her! Making him partners with Clare was bad enough but then the bitch had to go and make them spend time together after school.
The dot door chimed signaling someone was here. He heard footsteps approach him but didn't turn around. He knew it was her and he was right when he saw her sit down across from him.
She didn't speak as she unpacked her things and Eli didn't either he just watched her from underneath his eyelashes as he concentrated on his notebook.
Only when she cleared her throat awkwardly did he look up at her. "So what did you think of the book?" she asked uncomfortably.
"I thought it was a load of bullshit" he said simply leaning back in his chair making it rock.
Clare scoffed "How can you say that it was a sweet, romantic, story with a happy ending"
"Exactly a load of bullshit it was unrealistic no one gets a happy ending like that anymore" He said seriously
Clare scrunched her brows for a sec before nodding slightly "I guess your… right" she said locking eyes with him.
They discussed the book for about 30 minutes and wrote for about 2 hours in silence.
After Eli finished his last sentence he put his pen down and leaned back in his chair stretching as he watched Clare chew on her pen while she thought.
He smiled to himself and stretched farther back but didn't realize he was rocking his chair. The next thing he knew he was flying backwards the chair making a loud crash as he fell to the floor.
The whole café went silent as everyone stared at Eli. He turned beat red and yelled "What The hell are you looking at? Mind your own business!
He then looked over and noticed Clare smiling slightly as she let out a giggle.
He smirked "You think this is funny?"
"Hysterical" She said as she held her hand out to him.
He looked at her hand for a moment then gently took it as she helped him up.
He brushed himself off and then muttered a thank you as he looked down at Clare.
"Your welcome" She said as she looked down. Eli had tried to step closer to her but she backed away quickly and looked at her watch.
"Wow I really have to go" she said leaning over the table and packing up her stuff "I'll meet you here tomorrow" and with that she left the dot leaving Eli to his thoughts and he had an idea.
Later that night after Clare had finished her shower and came back into her room she noticed she had a missed call on her phone.
She checked it and the name made her stomach do backflips
1 missed call November 3 2010
7:33 pm
Eli
She heisted for a few minutes before calling him back.
One week later
Clare smiled as she hung up the phone with Eli. She plopped down on her bed and stared at the celling. She and Eli had been talking every night ever since that night when he called. At first it was about the assignment but after the first 2 long conversations it was long forgotten When they talked he was sweet, funny, and when they saw each other to work on their project he was just as perfect.
She was really starting to feel things for him again. And then that's when it hit her like a freight train. What the hell was she thinking? What are you doing Clare? Her mind screamed at her.
This guy only wanted to manipulate and hurt you. He smashed you heart into a million tiny pieces and after only playing a week of Mr. nice guy your letting him back in so he can do it again.
Clare frowned what was the matter with her? How could she just let him back into life? She was so stupid she was listening to her feelings and heart when she should have been listening to her head.
That's it tomorrow she's gonna act the way she should have been all along. She thought about it until she drifted off to sleep.
The next day Clare completely ignored Eli at school and when they met up at the dot she still acted cold.
"What's wrong with you?" Eli asked
"Nothing" she replied
He closed his book and placed his pen on top of it.
"Stop lying Clare why are you being like this?"
"Like what Eli?" She snapped
"Cold!" he snapped right back.
Clare crossed her arms in front of her "I just realized something that's all"
"Well do tell" he said sarcastically
"I realized how stupid I was being by trusting you again, you just wanna manipulate me and finish what you started and here I was getting ready to give it to you on a silver platter, giving you a way back in because you tried to play with me again!"
Eli scoffed "Why you just fucking can let the past go already! I told you the truth that day I could have gone through with it but I didn't because I cared about you! It's not my fault you don't believe me.
"Yeah right you never cared! You're a cold heartless sick person who doesn't care about anything or anyone just about getting what you want."
Eli's eyes narrowed "Oh yeah well you were the stupid one who was just gonna give it up to this heartless sick person so fuck you Clare!" he said standing up and leaving the dot.
"Clare gasp as anger filled her "How dare you say that?"
"Leave it the fuck alone Clare" Eli says as he headed towards the alley behind the dot.
"How could you do something like that? And have no remorse or anything." She said following him
"Leave me alone!" he yelled at her
"No!" she screamed back as tears started to form in her eyes. "I hate you you asshole!"
Eli crossed his arms "Yeah? Well I hate you too you bitch!"
Clare gasp and then all that was heard was a slap, a growl and a body being slammed into the wall.
Clare winced slightly as her body connected with the wall behind her but then looked up and glared at Eli as he towered above her pinning her to the wall. His cheek was red and his green eyes had darkened. Both of them were breathing heavy and dark green eyes met dark blue ones.
"I fucking hate you so much!" Eli said in a low tone.
"I fucking hate you more!" Clare said back.
Eli growled and then grabbed Clare's hips tightly and lent down capturing her lips roughly.
He pushed her tighter against the wall making her gasp and he then took the opportunity to plunge his tongue into her mouth as her hands tangled in his hair and pulled hard.
Eli hissed and wrapped his hands around Clare's thighs and hoisted her up against the wall so her legs wrapped around his waist.
The kiss became more urgent and passionate as they both poured all of the emotions feelings they were having the past few months made his
Into it.
Eli broke the kiss started making his way down her jawline and to her neck where he sucked and licked.
Clare's skirt was ridding up a bit and Eli ran a hand up her smooth thigh and bit her neck hard as he pressed himself into her.
Clare made a noise and grabbed Eli's shoulders tightly as he lent his head back up and kissed her roughly setting her back on the ground.
Clare broke the kiss and they were breathe was uneven and rapid. Eli moved his hands to Clare's waist and he spoke.
"Clare" he whispered
She looked up at him
"I – I love you …. I love you so much"
Clare's eyes started to water slightly as she spoke "I… love you too Eli even though I shouldn't."
Eli leaned in to kiss her again but she pushed him away "And that's why I can't do this with you"
"What?" He asked confused
"I love you Eli but we can't be"
"I know I've fucked up majorly with you Clare it was the stupidest thing I've ever done but please I've never needed anyone like I need you." He said trying to stroke her cheek.
Clare pulled away as a tear streamed down her face "I'm sorry Eli" and with that she ran down the alley leaving a hurt Eli to watch her.
