Author's Note: so I've got another chapter already :D this idea was zeldaskeeper's so I'm using it and switiching it up a little to fit it into my story. I hope you guys like it! Its kind of dramaish. So. I think you're all really awesome, and LOL, the review about "he's a freaking ninja". I have a thing for ninjas. :D theyre so awesome. So I wanted Eli to be a ninja. This might be the last chapter for a few hours or maybe even till late tonight because of babysitting and such. But its my 5th today I think already, so don't complain :D I will have at least one more chapter up today though, hopefully more!

Chapter 24

Clare's POV

After 2 days, my mom was able to move her left arm too. This gave the doctors hope that she might be able to move her legs too. She's coming home in 3 days. When she come's home I know that Eli has to leave, sadly. He knows it too. But I'll still see him a ton, just not as much.

My mom is getting to be more like herself and healing pretty fast and I'm glad. Eli's also been doing a good job of distracting me from thinking about it too much. I love him so much.

Lately, I haven't been paying attention in most classes because I'm either thinking about my mom or Eli. Yesterday, though, Ms. Dawes said that she had an interesting assignment to tell us the next day.

And now it was Wednesday, so she was going to tell us what the project was. I hope it's a group project! So of course, I paid attention today.

"Alright students, you are going to pick a partner and be 'married' for a week. You act as if you are married and have to spend time outside of school together. Then you will write an essay about what you learned. Since there are more boys than girls in the class, there will be one 'untraditional' male-male couple."

The class giggled at that. Who wouldn't though? I'm going to pick Eli to be my partner, of course. Things wouldn't change that much though because we were dating.

"I'm going to randomly pick a student, then they will pick their partner. Alright, first will be….Fitz."

Fitz's POV

I hate projects, but I got to pick my wife first. Perfect time to mess with Eli again. And Clare was smart, so she would probably do all of the work. AND, she was hot. So everybody wins. Except Eli.

"I choose Clare." Eli looked disgusted. It was awesome. I knew he'd make some sort of face, but I didn't think he would actually say something. He said very loudly,

"WHAT?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Goldsworthy, is there a problem?"

"No, Ms. Dawes. There isn't…" His fist was clenched. I'm so amazing.

Eli's POV

I thought he agreed to leave us alone. I stopped bothering him so he was supposed to stop bothering me. He almost killed me! Wasn't that enough?

Clare looked just as shocked as I was. I could only imagine what was going through her mind.

Clare's POV

GROSS. DISGUSTING. THAT SCUM. HOW COULD HE? So many words were running through my mind and not all of them were nice. Well, none of them were nice, but some were worse than the others. I was going to have to be MARRIED to FITZ for a whole WEEK?

I don't think I'd be able to do that.

After class, Fitz walked up to me.

"Clare, since we're married, I need your number. We're gonna have to work on the project outside of school." He looked pretty proud of himself.

No matter how much I didn't want to give him my number, I knew I had to. School was still important to me and I wasn't about to let Fitz change that. I wrote my number on his hand.

"Text or call or whatever so we can figure this out later. Bye."

"Aw honey, that's no way to treat your new hubby." This might be fun for him, but not for me. This week was going to be hell.

The only good thing about this project is that Eli was one of the male-male couple. I didn't have to worry about some girl trying to steal him away from me. He got some nerdy kid who looked like he needed a friend. I don't think he was too happy about being paired with Eli, he looked scared.

Eli does kind of come off a little bit scary though, if you don't know him.

Fitz's POV

I know that I beat up Eli so he would stop bothering me. Not that I was afraid of him, he was just annoying and I was getting bored of it. Since I had the chance to spend time with Clare, I took it. He'd get mad and I could show her I'm not that bad.

Well actually, I am that bad. All of the rumors are true. But I'm a very good actor, so Clare doesn't need to know I'm bad. I can change her mind and make her fall for me.

And crush Eli.

I hate him.

Clare's POV

I was really going to have to spend time with Fitz, wasn't I? Well, he's not like super gross ugly on the outside, so I guess it won't be that bad looking at him. But his personality is disgusting.

It will be horror having to hold a conversation with him.

If he's even capable of that.

Author's Note: So I don't know if any of you follow the tumblrs dedicated to munro/eli, but I do. Well not really cause I don't have a tumblr, but I always check them for new pictures. And there's a picture of Eli and the back of Clare that looks like it might be from the dance in 'All Falls Down'. And he's wearing RED. It's so hot. Just so you know. So I think you should go look it up. Well, did you like the chapter? More Fitz! Woooo. And I have a twist up my sleeve for what will happen in the next chapter, and I don't plan on telling anyone till the chapter's up. It's going to be AWESOME. Kind of. Well, hopefully I'll update before I have to babysit, but if not, there won't be a new chapter for like 6-7 hours. Sorry guys :( I'll try my best though! Review please? :D
