Ok typing from my new home, my dorm room. It's freezing in here! Its huge, but its distracting. I am getting my first chance now to write. So here you go!
Shout out to vampirelover333 for being my 100th reviewer!
The night after Clare and Janie met, the two of us go out to dinner and to see a movie. By now her cast has accumulated several signature, not one of them mine. We eat dinner at a cute restaurant called Paradise. They serve tropical and island foods with an overly obvious theme of island life. We enjoy a peaceful and clam dinner.
"When we get home, I am finally signing that thing." I say joking with her. She smiles at me and I return my attention to the road and drive to the movie theater.
"Finally," she mocks. I shoot her a glance making her giggle uncontrollably. I park in the closest spot that I can find and we go inside the air conditioned cinema.
"Two tickets to Vampires Suck, please," I say to the man behind the glass window. I slide a twenty under the window and he pushes the tickets to my side. As the movie goes on, I find it hilarious while Clare seems to get angry about it. She laughs but seems pissed at it.
"Its just a movie," I say putting a hand on her right leg. She puts her hand on top of mine and intertwines our fingers. She starts to lighten up about the movie and it ends up being a great date night for us. We go back to my house after and it's a little after eleven, she decides to shower I open my closet and see my abandoned guitar sitting in the back inside its case. Its been just over a week since its been used. I get changed into sleepwear and position myself on my bed, half sitting up and half laying, the water turns off and she comes out a few minutes later. I see a new side of Clare, she is wearing shorts showing more skin than normal, and a tight fitting t-shirt.
"I didn't wash my other clothes yet," she says tugging at the black t-shirt. I smirk at her making her blush.
"You look fine, now come and lay down with me," I say moving myself from the center of the bed just over a little to the left. I wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her neck, pulling her close to me. She cranes her neck to look at me, giving me full access to her lips, which I take full advantage of immediately. She smiles into our connection and deepens it a little more.
She pulls away gasping for air and I breathe heavily, loving the feeling she always gave me in the pit of my stomach. I kiss her softly on the lips and turn the TV on. The news is on and a picture of K.C. is shown. Clare sits up and leans forward to hear what they are saying.
"Degrassi teen has the cops called on him for holding another student at knifepoint," A picture of Fitz pops up, I smile to myself shaking my head, but erase the smile before Clare can see. "Allegedly the victim verbally attacked the student with the knife and was soon shocked to find he was carrying a knife on him. Both teens are fine, but Mark Fitzgerald is in holding for the time being." Clare looks at me in shock.
"Mark," she whispers. I feel jealousy spike up in me again, but wonder what K.C. was attacking him about. I take sometime to thing about it until Clare starts talking.
"K.C. says 'That Mark kid was 'creeping' up on me in the hall the other day, trying to hold my hand. He says he knows what kind of guy Mark is and that I should steer clear of him.'" she says to me.
"The day he signed your cast," I realize.
"Right, but why would K.C. care about Mark, I am dating you after all, why hasn't he said anything to you. Guilt hits me hard in the pit of my stomach. I debate telling her that he has twice now. Once last school year when we had just started dating and just on Friday between first and second periods.
"I don't know," I lie to her, feeling even worse. "I'm kind of tired, can we just go to sleep now?" I ask trying to avoid the subject of her jealous threatening ex boyfriend. We lay down and she falls asleep fast, while I lay awake thinking about what happened the other day with K.C.
"Hey, creep," K.C. yells to me from several feet behind me. I ignore him and keep walking, but he is persistent. "Don't you walk away from me," he says through clenched teeth.
"Yeah, and why not?" I say, knowing about how he cheated on her, broke her heart for the first time, she looked so broken when she told me.
"She's using you, you know that?" he asks me as if he actually believes his story. I let a laugh out.
"No you know, you are really pathetic. I mean what, you get one girl pregnant and move onto the next, asshole." I say smiling at him, getting deeper and deeper under his skin. I can tell its working because he clenches his hands into tight fists. "You actually thing she us using me to get to you, ha." I laugh at him and Mr. Simpson rounds the corner.
"Problem here, gentlemen?" he asks us as he passes by, slowly.
"Of course not," I say shaking my head. After he walks away I turn my attention to K.C. "So what you are going to try and fight me, I don't fight back because I don't want to hurt her, and then what?" I ask.
"You're dead, death boy." he says trying to get up in my face but I step to the side.
"'Death boy'?" I ask like I'm talking to an idiot, which I apparently am. "Ouch," I mock and grasp my chest dramatically before turning into the chemistry classroom.
I shake it off and get out of bed to get some water. I try not to move the bed too much, so I don't wake her. I get into the kitchen and see my dad watching TV. I get a glass of water. I'm not really tired, so I call Adam.
"Hey," he answers quickly.
"I didn't wake you, right?" I ask realizing it is sort of late to be calling him, then I remember it's a Saturday night and he's a teenage boy with an Xbox.
"No, I was up. What's up?" he asks me, I sip at my water slowly.
"Did you see the news? K.C. 'verbally' attacked Fitz." I say making the word '"verbally" sound sarcastic. "That's what K.C. is saying to the cops. Apparently Fitz had a knife and decided to try and teach him a lesson."
"Whoa really? That's crazy, man." he say as shocked as I was when I saw it on TV.
"Yeah, Clare asked K.C. what it was about and he said because Fitz was 'creeping' up on Clare in the hall the other day. I mean, I don't by any means like the kid, but he was signing her cast." I say honestly.
"That's crazy did she ask Fitz?" Adam asks me and I don't think she did.
"Hey, don't hand up I'm going to grab her phone, ok?" I ask he agrees and I set the phone down on my kitchen table. I slip into my room and to the table on her side of my bed, I grab her phone and go back to my kitchen table.
"Alright, I'm back, I'm going to text Fitz." I say, unlocking her phone, I type in her password and it opens. I smirk at her password, "Elijah". I find Fitz's contact and push text.
Mark, what happened today? I saw the news.
"I just asked him what happened, but if they are holding him he probably won't have his phone.' I say. I am proven wrong when her phone lights up saying "One New Text Message from Mark."
"I guess he has his it, I just got a text back," I say to Adam.
"What's it say?" he asks excitedly. I open it and read it to Adam.
"'That kid attacked me, I didn't have a knife, he did. I took it from his hand so I didn't get stabbed and that is when the cops decided to show up.'" I read it even more shocked, "Call me crazy but I believe him, K.C. is insane." I say.
"What are you going to say back?" he asks me. "Didn't K.C. try and start something with out last year too?" he asks me.
"Yeah, and Friday in the hall between first and second period." I tell Adam, we haven't really talked much since Wednesday. "I just texted him back asking if he was ok, and if he was in trouble."
"Wait really, what happened with that?" he questions me. "Why would you care if Fitz's is ok or not?"
"I don't know he came up to my in the hall and started telling me how Clare is using me, personally I was entertained." I say laughing. "This is Clare's phone, she'd ask."
"You're right she would, so nothing really big happened with K.C. in the hall? He didn't try to fight you or anything?" he asks.
"No, I told him I wouldn't fight him and hurt Clare like that. After that I went to chemistry." I inform him calmly. "Fitz's texted back. He says he might have to go to court to work things out, and K.C. and him might both be sent to counseling, and he's ok." I laugh.
"What's so funny?" Adam asks.
"He says thanks for the concern. It sounded girly." I laugh a little more and finish my water. "Hey, I should probably go back to bed," I say realizing it's almost one.
"Alright I'll talk to you tomorrow.' Adam hangs up and I walk back to my room and crawl into bed, snaking my arm over her middle.
So I didn't edit this really well, I don't have a lot of quiet time on my own and my neighbor is here kind of creepin' so yeah. There it is! J
