I do not own anything.

"Just you and me." I mumbled as Eli and I took off in the direction of my house. I decided to take him there since no one is home and I personally would like to relax a bit for the day.

"So…" Eli said in a desperate attempt to get my attention. I was a little lost in thought, but quickly regained posture and said,

"So, is Julia really your first and only girl friend?" Eli blushed a little and said,

"Yes, I met her when we were little and well it was just nature for us to just take a chance and date. I'm sorry we did though." I heard a sad tone emerge from his voice and I linked arms with him and said,

"Who needs her? you have me now and honestly I am probably a better person, not that I am self-absorbed or anything." Eli chuckled a little and said,

"You are a little strange, and from what I know so far, I like you." I didn't quite know what he meant by that, but I decided to just leave it and drag him into my house.

"Wow, you have a nice home." Eli said to me as I brought him upstairs to my pretty big room. My room was locked with a pad-lock and had chains bolted along the frame.

"Thanks." I said before I put in the code to my lock and let Eli in. He smiled and walked into my room. I turned on the light and walked over to the bed. Eli just stood there a little dumbstruck as to where to sit. I patted the spot next to me and he blushed but came over nonetheless.

"So, Clare, it seems like you live closer to Bardell, why don't you go to school there?" I scoffed a little but said,

"I did go there." Eli looked at me and said,

"What?" I sighed and said,

"I went there my freshman year, I got expelled." Eli gasped and said,

"What did you do?" God I hated answering this question.

"I got into drugs and was caught with some in my purse and I got kicked out along with my two best friends." Eli gasped a little louder and said,

"We've met before." I looked at him, now dumfounded myself and said,

"What? No we haven't." Eli turned to look at me and said,

"Yes we have, do you know a transgender boy, Adam?" I stood silently shocked and nodded. Eli laughed and said,

"He is my best friend. And I know he is your cousin." Oh my God!

Eli and chatted for another hour and Eli said he had to go before his school let out. I nodded and showed him out. Before he left he leaned into me and hugged me and said,

"It was nice to get to know you better, Clare. I hope we can do this again sometime." I smiled and nodded and was about to say something more until someone came tromping up the driveway and yelled,

"You're dead!"

A/N: Short, I know. But if the chapters are shorter I will update more often. Okay, let me know what you think. R&R? Much love!
