Eli's POV

I have been at this fucking place for a week and all I have done is talk to Adam about comics and shit and go to some required therapy sessions to see if we know why we are here and what we are expected to do. Whatever! I have to admit that some of the girls are pretty hot… I'd bang 'em but I'm not the kind of guy that hits and ditch When I have sex with a girl, she has to be my girlfriend or at least an acquaintance for a while… Shocked? Yeah me too, but I have always been that way even though I have only had sex with one girl the entire 17 years of my life. Besides all of the girls here seem like sluts to the extreme I mean I swear they don't even know me and they have already made the offer to me. I maybe a guy but that's just gross? However, there is one girl to this exception, the girl I saw at the bus station. I have yet to see her again. Maybe when they evaluated her they discovered she wasn't supposed to be here with the rest of us. Who knows? I'm eating lunch when I see Adam and a girl, with some serious tight jeans, showing off one amazing ass, white flats, and a jean jacket, I would assume she has a shirt under that, but with the girls here you never know. After checking out her body, I finally notice her hair, I would never forget the short auburn curls, but there is no way in hell that is her. I notice Adam sees me and nods his head and my direction I guess telling the girl he was coming over here. She shrugs and turns around walking with Adam, that's when my suspicions are confirmed it is her. Holy Damn!

"Yo, Eli" Adam says when he finally approaches the table.

"Hey, Adam, Who's this" I point the girl.

"C-" "I'm Clare" She interrupts Adam.

"Eli"

"I figured as much seeing as Adam said "yo, Eli"" Fiesty? Who knew.. well then again who knew little miss sundress would wear such a provocative outfit either.

"Well, excuse me I was just trying to be nice, but I won't anymore if you don't want me to be" I smirk.

"Whatever." She rolls her eyes.

"Well, Clare if you don't mind me asking how do you and Adam know each other."

"Me and Clare are in the same group therapy." Adam answers.

"Adam, is your name Clare" Clare rolls her eyes again and says" Adam and I are in the same group therapy smart ass."

"what was that you like my ass" I smirk again.

"Adam is he always like this"

"Pretty much" I respond

"Excuse me Eli is your name Adam"

"No, my name is Eli, but thanks for asking." Now me Clare are just giving each other a stare down until Adam speaks up. "ok guys can't we all just get along"

"She started it""He started it" Clare and I say at the same time. "Me" "yes you" we both continued to say at the same time.

"aww you guys that's so cute" Adam responds

"Adam, Shut up" we say together again.

"again really that's so adorable"

"Adam, Shut the fuck up" the fuck we say it again. By now Adam is literally holding his side from laughing so much.

"you know what Adam since you find this so cute and adorable I'll leave you two to yourselves" Clare says as she gets up and walks away. She is definitely one of those girls who you hate to see go, but love to watch leave.

Once Clare is out of my view I notice Adam is still trying to control his laughter.

"Adam, what the hell was that about… and I don't really find it all that funny"

"Well Eli, if you must know that was me introducing you to my friend Clare…. And by the way you look at her I can tell you want her to be your new "friend" too.

I roll my eyes. "whatever Adam I already told you, that I don't fall in love and I already have you as a friend therefore I don't need another one." I noticed Adam was looking at my funny.

"What the hell dude."

"Do you realize what you just said" huh?

"That I don't need another friend seeing as how I got you."

"No, dude you just said "You don't fall in love" I never said anything about you dating, or loving her, just being a friend, face it dude you like her" Shit! I do like her wait no I don't

"Whatever dude, she has a hot body, I'm a guy sue me for looking" technically I'm not lying just not admitting that I like her because this Eli the Eli I have become and have been for a year does not date, does not like anyone, and will not be with anyone.

"Keep tellin' yourself that Goldsworthy, but I have a feeling that you and little miss Edwards will be in love and dating by the end of the year."

"Whatever, TORRES… say what you will but it is not going to happen."

"Say what you will Eli, but it WILL happen"
