HEY GUYS THIS CHAPTER ISN'T SO GREAT BUT, STILL GOOD AND A CLIFFHANGER
PROM-10 MONTHS LATER
CLARE'S PROSPECTIVE
Senior year went by as quick as I remember the first day walking into this school. Eli and I's relationship had grown with no problems. Fitz had left us alone, surprisingly. And, I was either studying with Ali or being with Eli. Eli was the one person in my life who I would never want to lose. It would be like having a best friend move away. But, prom was coming up and Eli and I were willing to put the bad stuff behind us and move on.
Ali and I were going dress shopping today in the mall. "So, what color Clare?" Ali asked me as she ran around with ten dresses in her hands. "I like lavender or black and white?" I smiled as she grabbed two dresses out of the rack so quickly. "Wow! Ok, let's try these on." I said walking towards the fitting rooms. Eli and Adam went tux shopping; I wish I was there to laugh at them. They said they would drop by, but I hope not when I try on the dress. I tried on the black and white dress first. It fell to my feet, but didn't drag. I like it. I looked in the mirror and spun. "Wow, Clare you look amazing. Eli will love it." Ali said smiling. I turned and looked at my backside in the mirror, "Are you sure?" I asked making sure. "What are you afraid of? It's a dress it's supposed to show some skin." I laughed as glanced towards the door and guess who was standing there… "Eli! You aren't supposed to see her in the dress!" Ali said. Eli laughed and covered his eyes, "Well if I can't see the dress, how about the face?" Ali said, "It's fine just don't look at the dress!" I walked towards Eli and kissed him on the lips. "Well, I think all I needed was your face…" Eli said. I removed his hand from his face. "I don't think this is the dress anyway." I said looking up and down at the mirror. "Clare you look hot in that dress!" Ali said twirling in front of the mirror. Eli didn't stop looking at me. "What do you think Eli?" He looked spaced out. "Eli!" I said as I snapped my fingers. He shook his head, "Beautiful…Take the dress. Trust me and Ali you look amazing." I smiled and I put the dress back on the hanger and bought it. It was a nice dress, just wasn't sure. But, if Eli loved it than that's the only person I needed an opinion from.
Ali met up with Drew and went around the mall to shop. Eli and I walked hand in hand as we talked about our day. We are rarely ever separated from each other, kind of like twins. We sat down in Nathans. "Eli, why do you make me come in here? I am just going to get fat," I told Eli smirking at him. He smirked back at me with one eyebrow raised, "Clare, you don't get fat. You could sit here for fifty years and eat chilly fries and not gain pound. You are like a freak of nature." I smiled and said, "Oh really? If that's the way you feel about me…" I started to stand when Eli jumped up and kissed me and said, "Can we not play games and just eat. I am starving!" I walked with him to the stand and we ate hotdogs. "You know…why did you have to get a hotdog?" Eli asked me. "Because we are at Nathans and I am hungry…" He said smirking, "Do you know how weird it is to watch you eat a hotdog?" I put my hotdog down as I lost my appetite. "Do you know how weird it is to watch you eat a hotdog?" I asked smiling. "You have a point, but since I am not gay I can eat a hotdog." He told me as he took a huge bite of his hotdog. "Well, since I am not gay, I lost my appetite thank you Eli once again." He got up and said, "I will make you something when we get home, I promise." I nodded and smiled as he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. "I love you…" I heard him whisper in my ear.
I walked into school with Adam because Eli was running late because he didn't want to wake up. "So, rumor has it that you and Eli are going to be names cutest couple at prom?" Adam told me as he grinned. I said, "Really? Now, who told you this?" I asked as I wasn't paying attention and rammed right into someone. I dropped all my books as he bent down to grab them. I was on the floor picking all my books up as I looked up and our eyes met. "KC?" I asked cautiously. It was the first time I looked or even spoke to KC since our breakup or when he broke up with me for a fat hoe on the cheerleading team. He looked at me and smirked, "its ok here's your books. Listen, after school can I talk to you? Like, alone." I saw Eli and wasn't paying attention. "Without him…" He continued gesturing towards Eli. "Sure…Whatever, fine ok." I told him walking towards Eli. I didn't want to tell Eli about KC. "What did baby daddy want?" Eli asked looking nervous. "I just knocked into him and dropped all my books…" Eli folded back the curl of hair near my ear and smiled, "Ok, Mrs. Klutz let's get you to class grandma, don't fall now." He put his two hands on my hips and slowly walked with me. "Eli!" I smiled at him.
I told Eli I had to stay late with Ali to tutor her. I made Adam swear he wouldn't tell him about KC. I walked slowly up to KC who was sitting outside on the steps. No one was left on school grounds, just us. "What do you want KC, I don't have all day and my head is killing me." I told him tapping my foot. "I want you back Clare." Here he goes again.
WILL KC BE THE SOLUTION TO CLARE'S PROBLEMS? OR WILL HE JUST ADD TO THE EQUATION? FIND OUT TOMORROW! PLEASE…PLEASE REVIEW!
