ELI'S PROSPECTIVE

I went through two months of pure hell with Adam. I saw a whole different side of him. Clare was starting school tomorrow and I was planning on dropping her off right in front of the building and picking her up straight after. I was nervous, and I knew that someone is going to be looking for Clare. I told Adam not to worry that she has her phone. Turns out, that Adam and I are in all of our classes together, yay. I looked down at Clare as her eyes started to fade. She lay on my chest and I feel her heart pound. "I love you Clare." I told her as she smiled and looked at me with her blue eyes. I got lost inside her eyes. "Eli…we have to go to sleep. We have to wake up early…" She told me turning around and I immediately wrapped my arm around her waist. "Love you too…" I said. She laughed and said, "I love you Eli…" She told me this as I faded into a dream world…

CLARE'S PROSPECTIVE

First day of college, wow am I old. But, I was all grown up. I got dressed and curled my hair. I thought about my first day of high school. It felt like it was yesterday. Eli and Adam had been really shallow to me the past two months. I knew they were hiding something, like they were covering something up. I didn't let it bother me today, because today is my day. I am starting college all by myself without a friend. My job was to make friends today. I woke Eli up and he drove me to school. I felt like he was my father dropping his daughter off at the first day of kindergarten. We pulled up in front of the college.

Eli looked into my eyes with all seriousness, "Clare, when I text you I want you to immediately answer. I love you ok?" He told me leaning into kiss me. I pulled away and walked out of the car. Why is Eli being so paranoid? I am not going to let anything happen today. I anxiously walked inside my first class.

Why was I so excited for this? It was so boring. College is just as boring as high school. I thought it would be different. I sat there listening to a boring teacher. I went from class to class, no one talked; no one did anything but listen. I was going here for free, so I had to make the best of it. I sat on a bench eating my sandwich, when my phone vibrated I went to grab it and I dropped my books and sandwich on the floor. "Crap…" I said bending down for it. I saw someone else's hand picking up my books. I got up and looked at him. He was tall, and had blue eyes, and brown hair. He handed me my books and I said, "Thank you I am so sorry." I excused myself. "It's no problem…is the whole bench taken?" He asked gesturing towards the empty seat. "No…no you can sit," I told him. He held out his hand and said, "I am Jake by the way, Jake Anderson." I held out my hand, "I'm Clare, Clare Edwards." I laughed at him as I threw out my sandwich and looked for my phone. "Have you seen my phone? I think I remember dropping it…" Jake looked around and said, "No, I can't find it. I don't think you had it." That was strange. "Can I borrow your phone?" I asked Jake as he looked at me. "Sure…" He handed me the phone as I dialed my number. It rang and then I heard it, under the bench.

I handed Jake his phone and bent over to get my phone. I grabbed it and saw five missed calls from Eli. "So, have any friends here?" Jake asked me. I nodded my head back and forth, "Only you so far." He smiled and looked at me, "You have pretty eyes…" That was the first thing Eli told me. "Thank you…but I am sorry I have to go." I grabbed my books and he said, "Why don't I walk with you across the campus. I didn't mean to scare you off, and besides let me buy you a sandwich." I smiled and said, "Ok…but I have to call someone." I flipped open my phone and dialed Eli, with the first ring he picked up. "Clare! Are you ok?" He screamed at me nervously. "I am fine Eli; I dropped my phone that's all. I will see you in an hour, ok." Eli said, "I love you Clare…just answer me when I call you." I sighed and said, "Ok, I love you too."

Jake looked at me and said, "Boyfriend troubles?" I said, "Don't you think that is kind of personal? We just met…" Jake nodded and looked around, "Your right. So, who are you Clare Edwards?" I didn't know the answer to his question. "I guess you will have to wait and find out…" Was I flirting with Jake? I can't give him the wrong idea. We sat down across from each other in the booth. He brought me a sandwich. He was flirting with me. "Listen, Jake, I need to tell you something. I don't want to give you the wrong idea. I am in a relationship; I am not looking for a guy." Jake looked at me shocked, "I wasn't trying to flirt with you Clare, you were flirting with me." I opened my mouth and said, "No…don't you remember. Oh, you have pretty eyes? Does that ring a bell?" His eyebrows tightened and said, "I have to go, I will see you tomorrow, blue eyes?" I said, "Sure…why not. I'll meet you here same time?" Jake looked down at me and smiled. He ran out looking nervously around, and he ran into an alley way…Who really was Jake Anderson?
