Chapter 2: face to face
Clare's point of view:
Me and Alli finally made it to the office. I was suprised when she didn't get side tracked by all the cute boys. As we were standing in line at the office I felt like someone was watching me. I turned around and there he was. The mystery boy. But this time he was by him self "reading" the book To Kill a Mockingbird. He probably thought I didn't see him quickly go back to "reading" when I turned around. For some reason I wanted to be face to face and learn about him. find out what makes him happy and what makes him absolutely tick. After we got our schedules I was slightly disappointed when he wasn't there. But I put a smile on my face anyway. As Alli and I were walking towards our dorm I bumped in to someone. "I'm so sorry. I didn't see you there." I said kind of embarrassed. I looked up and it was him. the boy that was clad all in black, with the piercing green eyes. Then I saw a smirk appear on his pale face.
"No worries" he said coolly. "Are you new this year?" he asked.
"Y-y-yes?" it sounded more like a question than a statement.
"Well than let me introduce myself. I'm Elijah Goldsworthy. But you can call me Eli."he said.
"My name is Clare Edwards." I said as I stuck out my hand and he placed a kiss on my knuckles.
"Clare would you like to grab some coffee sometime?" he asked before I could finish some trampy looking blonde skank ran up to him.
"Eli baby. I missed you. You just got up and left." She said while batting her eyelashes. Oh so he was a player was he. I then turned my attention back to him.
"Yeah I'll have to pass on the coffee." I said.
"Why" he asked confused.
"Oh you know why Elijah." I said nodding my head towards the blonde. I then grabbed Alli and we were on a quest to find our dorm.
Eli's point of view:
I was snapped back to reality when I heard Drew call my name.
"Yo Eli what or who you staring at?" he asked.
I pointed towards the girl that was walking away linking arms with her best friend.
"I wouldn't mind getting to know her." Fitz said
"Me neither" kc agreed.
"Well I call dibs on her." I said.
"what you always get the hotties." Drew whined
"Well duty calls." I said smugly walking towards the office.
"Get Some!" I heard fitz yell and I let out a chuckle. I positioned myself a few feet away from the office so I could see her. I put a book on my lap and turned to a random page so if she turned around she would think I was reading. She turned around and I quickly put my face in my book. Hopefully she didn't think I was a creeper for staring at her. She was next in line so I moved into the hallway so I could bump into her on "Accident". Her and her friend were walking by my direction so I took my plan into action. I then bumped into her.
"I'm so sorry I didn't see you there" she said. I liked that I was making her nervous.
"No worries." I said. "Are you new this year?" I asked.
"Y-y-yes?" she said as more of a question than a statement. Wow she was cute when she was nervous.
"Well than let me introduce myself. My name is Elijah Goldsworthy but you can call me Eli." I purred.
"I'm clare Edwards." She said while sticking her hand out. I took it and placed a chaste kiss on her knuckles.
"Clare would you like to grab a coffee sometime?" I asked hopeful. Before she could answer the same broad from before was prancing up to me. 'Dear god' I thought.
"Eli baby! I missed you. You just got up and left." She said in a high pitched voice while flipping her blonde hair back and batting her eyelashes. I saw the look in Clare's eyes and it was anything but pleased. Quite frankly she was pissed if anything.
"Yeah I'll have to pass on the coffee." She said.
"Why?" I asked. She then gave me a look that said 'Seriously?'
"You know why Elijah." She said nodding her head towards. What's her name. Terry? Tiffany? Oh yeah her name was Trish. Then she was down the hall dragging her friend behind her. I just stood there stunned I just got rejected? And I bet it wouldn't have happened if Kc did his job and kept Trish on a leash. I mentally laughed at that and turned to her.
"Now that she's gone wanna go somewhere more private?" she asked rubbing my chest. Normally I would have said yes. But not in this case. I got rejected because of her.
"No Trish. We had a one night thing." I said trying to keep the venom in my words to a minimum.
"But Eli I really thought we had a connection Friday night." She said pleading.
"Well I'm sorry but things weren't working out."
"FINE!" she said yelling . People started to watch as she made a scene. She then slapped me and stormed off somewhere with tears running down her cheeks. I'm glad I let her go she was a stage 5 clinger any way.
