Eli's POV
When I got to the MI Lab I could not wipe the smile off my face.
I walked in casually and took my seat like I would on any other day.
Ms. Oh turned around and gave me one of those "what's your excuse?" looks.
I couldn't help but find that even more hilarious.
"Mr. Goldsworthy, I'm sure you have a good reason for being late for class this morning. Care to share?" Ms. Oh questioned, obviously annoyed.
"Actually, I was kissing my girlfriend goodbye after I walked her to class." I announced proudly.
Low whispers and giggles erupted from the whole class.
Ms. Oh looked at me, rolled her eyes, and then I could have sworn I saw her smile a little bit.
"Okay class, pay attention up here." Amazing. I didn't even get so much as a warning.
The rest of the day pretty much flew by.
Clare and I spent lunch together. Her eccentric friend Alli wasn't there today. Apparently she was eating lunch with some guy named Drew and all of his football buddies.
We also spent the whole 51 minutes in English passing notes. It was silent reading today, so hence passing the notes.
When the bell finally rang, I was glad that school was over.
I was happier than usual when school got out because that meant I got to spend some alone time with my girlfriend.
I was already out of class waiting by the door. As Clare walked out, I surprised her by grabbing her by the waist and pulling her close to me.
"Miss me?" I questioned with a smirk while I let my head rest on her shoulder.
"Why would I?" Clare asked with a sarcastic tone of voice.
"Ouch, that was heartless, Blue Eyes." I said pretending to be hurt.
Clare turned around and pulled my face to hers. Damn. Clare's a hell of a kisser but that one in particular sent sparks of electricity up my arms. Had to be the best one all day.
"Does that answer your question?" she whispered after our lips parted.
"Mhmm." Was all I said so I could pull her into another kiss.
Before I could do that, we heard the sound of something being slammed against a locker; hard.
We went to check it out only to see Fitz about to nail Adam in the face.
I ran over there, grabbed his fist and threw it back.
"What the hell is your problem?" I yelled angrily.
"That freak deserves what's coming to him! And if you don't step aside, so will you!" Fitz threatened.
I could see the hate and pleasure in his eyes. Hatred towards Adam for God knows what. And pleasure in knowing he's hurting him; inside and out.
"I'm trembling with fear." I say sarcastically.
"You better watch yourself Doctor Doom." Fitz warned.
He pushed past me with his shoulder and then began walking in the opposite direction, while wearing his sadistic smile all too well.
Adam got up and turned to me.
"Thanks dude." He said still shaken up.
"No problem. Assholes like Fitz will get what's coming to them." I said mocking part of what Fitz had said to threaten me.
"It'd be a miracle if that ever happened." Adam grimaced.
Clare came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Hey, thanks again man. I'd better go." Wow. Fitz really knows how to scare the living shit out of someone. I watched with sad eyes as Adam walked out the doors to Degrassi.
"Poor Adam." Clare said.
"What could Adam have ever done to deserve that?" I questioned in disbelief.
I didn't give Clare time to answer, 'cause by then I was already speaking again.
"Fitz needs to pay for that." I declared, still extremely angry.
"No! Even if you do something to get Fitz back, it'll go back and forth and things will get worse for Adam." Clare protested.
I hate to say it, but she's right. Making things worse for Adam is the last thing I want to do. Who knows what Fitz will try next? And who knows how bad it could get? I don't want to sit around and watch him bully Adam or anyone else but I know I'd make things worse.
"You're right." I told her.
She turned me around and looked me straight in the eyes.
"Eli. Promise me you won't do anything stupid?" There was worry and fear in her eyes.
"I promise." I said defeated.
Clare grabbed my hand and smiled at me.
Her smile is contagious because soon I found myself smiling too. She didn't even have to say anything to get a smile out of me. That's one of the many things I love about Clare.
"I already know you'd love to, but wanna give me a ride home?" She teased.
"Why would I?" I teased back, quoting what Clare said earlier.
She playfully pushed me and then I put my arm around her.
We walked out of the school and Clare suddenly stopped.
She was looking at something and then frowned.
"Looks like I won't be needing that ride."
I gave her a confused look and then saw an unfamiliar car parked in front of the school.
"That's my dad's car." Clare said blankly. "I guess he's here to pick me up."
"Why would your dad be here to pick you up?" I was confused.
"I'll explain later… I love you." She replied.
"I love you too, Blue Eyes." I gave her a long hug and a quick peck on the lips in case her dad was watching.
Clare got in the car and it drove in the direction of her house.
So much for alone time, I thought as I walked towards Morty.
I'm so evil! Sorry for the cliff hanger. xD I've been sort of busy lately so I'm sorry that my chapters are falling short. I'll update ASAP and try to make it as long as I possibly can. xD Thank you all for your reviews. They encourage me to keep writing.
