Chapter 17: Oh Boy!

Author's note: I have got some reviews saying that they want some more KC. I promise that I will try to incorporate him in this chapter with some drama. With further a due I give you Chapter 17: oh boy!.

Clare's point of view:

Me and Eli were walking together hand in hand on the way to Mrs. Dawes's class when I told Eli I had to use the bath room. He said okay and that he would just see me in English. I left his grip and fast walked to the nearest rest room. I grabbed a stall and did my business. When I was done I looked in the mirror at my reflection. I looked atrocious. Well in my opinion. My once perfect curls were now frizzy and everywhere, my lip gloss was smeared, my eyeliner and mascara were smudged, and my mineral powder had worn off. I looked like I just woke up. And let me tell you, I don't look pretty when I just wake up. After making my self look presentable for the world again I walked out. I felt like I was on top of the world. I literally skipped to class. Nothing could ruin my day. I admit it I am smitten with Elijah Collin Goldsworthy. Wow that's a mouthful. Just try to say his name 5 times fast. I'd fail if I tried. I walked into English a minute before the bell rang. I sat down and Mrs. Dawes started her lecture.

"Now for today Class I want you all to write a paper on your biggest fear. It is due on Friday…which is tomorrow. You may get with your partners and discuss." She dismissed us and I turned towards Eli. He had a look of concentration on his handsome face. He then turned and looked me in the eyes.

"What is your biggest fear Clare?" what was my biggest fear? Love. Love is my biggest fear.

"Love is my biggest fear."

"Why?" he asked softly.

"It's a two way street. People can make you believe that they love you, but a some sick joke they rip your heart out and smash it with a hammer. You see, it's not easy for me to just automatically open up and let people in. the only people who really know me is you and Alli. Love is also very difficult. For me that is. I'm just scared of what they will think if I do let them in. Will they judge, pity me, think less of me, or understand? That's why love is my biggest fear." Then it occurred that I just spilled my heart out to him.

"I can see where you're coming from but why be afraid of it? Love is a beautiful thing. And everyone is in your mind frame some time in their life. Love can also be magical. And when you said it's hard to let people in, it's part of the process. As you learn to love you learn to trust and let people in. And everybody has somebody it's just a matter of time on if they find them before they die." What he said was beautiful. I now saw him in a different light. A bright shiny one.

"What's your biggest fear?" I asked him.

"Death is my biggest fear." He said. That's kind of ironic considering what he wears and what he drives.

"Why?" I asked.

"I'm scared of death for many reasons. When death comes to you you're alone. Covered in black and encased in blackness. You don't have a say if you're to die…you just do. A lot of times without a warning or sign. A lot of times death comes to the youth…the good youth. Death is also merciless and spares no one." Again with the beautiful speeches. He was on a roll.

"That was…beautiful Eli."

"Thanks" I saw a light pink color rise up his neck to his cheeks. He was blushing?

"No problem and who do you think you got for the play?" I asked.

"Not to sound cocky but I think I got Seymour." He said with a smirk.

"Yeah…and not to sound self centered but I think I got the part of Audrey" I said with my own smirk. The bell rang and I headed out of the class room with Eli. I said I see Eli in science since we both had to go to our lockers. I got my book out, shut my locker and turned around. When I turned around I was met with a hard chest. I looked up and saw KC.

"Hey clare." He smiled.

"Hey…Kc" I said.

"So I was wondering if you would go to the dance with me?" the dance! How could I forget that the Candyland dance was on Saturday? How could I politely say no?

"Uhhh…" I said still stunned. I looked behind Kc and saw a pissed off looking Eli 10 feet away. I'm guessing he just heard him ask me out. Oh boy! Eli walked up and put his arm around my shoulders.

"Hey Clare" he said pulling me closer in a protective manner.

"KC" he said sounding not interested.

"So Clare what do you think? How about the dance?" He said ignoring Eli and his death grip on me.

"She can't" Eli quickly interjected.

"Why can't she?" the other male asked.

"Because she all ready has a date."

"Who?" Kc asked clearly interested.

"me" Eli said smirking but his eyes stated that he wanted KC's ass planted above his fireplace. KC laughed a cold hearted laugh.

"You aren't serious?" he asked.

"I am VERY serious" Eli replied.

"Clare just think about it okay?" Kc said before stalking away.

"Since when were we going to the dance together?" I asked facing the green eyed boy.

"Since now. I was gonna ask you after school but he showed up" he said 'he' with a look of disgust on his face.

"Does this mean we're dating?" I asked anxiously awaiting his answer.

"Do you want us to be?" he whispered seductively in my ear and I blushed.

"Y-y-yes" I stuttered.

"In that case we are dating and I can do this." He then smashed his lips over mine with a bruising force. He swept his tongue along my bottom lip and I opened up my mouth to him. his tongue beckoned mine to play with his. Our tongues wove together as he backed me up against my locker. I slowly moved my hands up to his silky smooth locks and intertwined my fingers. He pulled away and my breath was rigid. Eli moved his lips from my mouth down to my neck and began to nip and suck on it.

"Is this going to be a regular thing?" I asked curious.

He stopped looked up at me and smirked.

"What do you mean?" he asked all ready knowing what I meant.

"I mean making out in the hallway?"

"Pretty much." He answered nonchalantly.

"Well I'm not that kind of girl so we won't do this every day. Got it?"

"Yes ma'am and bossy much?"

'I run a tight ship" I laughed. We arrived to Chemistry 20 minutes late that day.

End of chapter 17. Well what do you think? Review and I'll give you a brownie. I would like 7 reviews at least before I add a new chapter.
