Chapter 10: Rumor Has It

It's the tenth chapter and it isn't over yet! I just want to thank everyone for reading this; whether you were reading from my very first post or just started I love you all so much. So the Anti-grapevine has been mentioned already correct? Well it's going to come into play very soon. Please comment and send me your thoughts!

…..

By the end of the week Clare felt like it had been months since break. She sat on her couch on Friday night filling out her science homework. She sighed trying to remember when she didn't have to spend her nights working. She heard her phone buzzing and saw Adam's name flash across the screen.

Adam: Have you seen the Anti-Grapevine? It doesn't look good.

Clare stared at her phone for a minute. She quickly replied,

Clare: No I haven't. Let me get my computer.

Clare ran up to her room and flipped her laptop open. Her phone beeped again.

Adam: Hurry!

Clare quickly typed in the URL for the anti-grapevine, . When the page loaded she saw a large picture of her and Jake at the Dot. Clare began to read the page.

What certain Blue eyed sophomore was seen with a new man over break? We'll never tell, however we can say that the new man was a new student this year. The Woodsy newcomer was meeting Blue Eyes for coffee at the Dot, but was this a date? Blue Eyes had recently gotten back together with her Emo Ex just days before. We don't count on that relationship lasting very long, especially if Blue Eyes is already cheating on Emo Boy. Place your bets now folks, knowing Emo boys temper, he won't take this news lightly.

Clare's eyes widened. She put her palm on her face in frustration. Had someone been watching her? She sent a text to Adam.

Clare: Oh my god! This is all lies!

Adam: I believe you Clare but I'm not so sure about Eli

Clare: Oh no! He will not like this, do you think he saw it?

Adam: you will know when he does

Clare: Should I talk to him about it?

Adam: I think so, if you're up front about it he might not be as mad.

Clare: Maybe I should invite him over to talk about it…?

Adam: Good idea

Clare: Can you come help me?

Adam: sorry but you're on your own for this one

Clare: :P

Adam: ;)

Clare sighed. This was not going to be easy. When Eli hears something he doesn't like, it isn't easy to reason with him. She just hoped he didn't see it before she had a chance to explain. She picked up her phone and texted him.

Clare: Hey … have you seen the Anti-Grapevine?

Eli: No I don't like to read that unless it's good, who's it about this time?

Clare: oh... It's ah nothing

Eli: Spit it out Edwards

Clare: Ok it's about me, but it's not true at all.

Eli got Clare's Text and was instantly curious. He logged on and began reading the page. He clenched his fist as he scanned the end of the page. Eli stared at his screen in shock.

Eli: What is this?

Clare: I can explain

Eli: Well?

Clare: Come over I'll tell you the truth about what happened.

Eli: Fine I'll be right over

Eli grabbed his crutches and made his way out the door. He didn't tell Cece where he was going he just walked out of the house. He kept going until he found himself right outside of Clare's house.

Ok. Sorry for so much texting. Feel free to tell me it bugs you, I won't do it as much if it does. Please give me a review and tell me what you think! I would love to hear predictions too!
