Okay Chapter Two of the In Crowd. I wanted to ask you guys if any of you wanted to do a collab story with me! Anyways let me know what you think! Review?

Eli's POV

The day went by rather slow to my dismay, but when practice crept around I actually knocked someone down running to the boy's locker room. After changed into my jersey I got outside. I was number 1.

When I got out to the fields I saw all of the cheerleaders including Clare. She was dressed in her cute blue sparkly tank top with the yellow D on the front. She had the skirt that was yellow with a thick sparkly stripe of blue. I didn't know if it was just me or was her clothing much tighter and shorter than the others. Huh, well she is captain.

I got ran out onto the field after waving to Clare while she smiled; too pompom preoccupied. I scored a bunch of shots and had an amazing practice. The cheerleading practice extended ten minutes longer than football, so we all decided to watch.

Clare was teaching them to do a thigh stand and a flyer. Clare showed them how. "Okay! My bases get into a lunge position with you're feet overlapping!" Clare yelled. "Now our flyer is gonna place their feet on the base thighs and then the base rests her hand on the flyers foot and under her leg, second base follow the first." Clare said.

"Flyer steps into a high v position and dismount!" She yelled. This was like cheer army. Clare yelled this to them and two bases got her and flew her in the air. Clare landed in their arms and then did two round offs and five backhand springs.

Clare blew in a whistle signaling practice was over "Good job girls, there's a game on Friday, let's all be there!" she yelled. She smiled and walked over to me slinging a big duffle bag over her shoulder. "Uhhh! So glad practice is over!" She yelled playfully before giggling. "Yes so now we can be alone!" I whispered in her ear wrapping my arm over her shoulder while she laughed.

We walked to my car after talking to Ali and B asking, to drive Clare's convertible home for her. Once we arrived at my house we got out and walked in on my mom making diner in the kitchen. The house smelled like rubber and vegetables. "Oh, hi there baby boy! How was practice?" She yelled, and I blushed from the nickname while Clare just giggled.

"Good. Mom, good. Well were going to go upstairs and work on and English paper." I said dragging Clare to the stairs. "Whoa whoa! Who's this?" My mom asked wiping her hands on a dish towel. Clare smiled "I'm Clare." She said. "Well, it's very nice to meet you darling, are you Eli's gi-""English Partner." Clare said. My mom giggled and said well are you going to be joining us for diner tonight?"

"Oh, thank you but tonight I have to cook diner for my family. You know, being the second oldest having nine siblings, parents that travel ALL the time, I have that job sometimes. I would love to but, I can't thank you though Mrs. Goldsworthy." Clare said sweetly. Awww, Clare how cute.

"Please baby girl call me Cece." My mom said taking Clare's hands and shaking them gently before dropping them on the banister and smiling to herself. "Well, mom we REALLY need to get started on that paper. So see you at diner." I said pulling a giggling and waving Clare up the stairs hearing my mother shout "Don't forget Veronica's ballet recital tomorrow night!"

I brought her into my room closing the door behind us. "I love you're mom she is so sweet." Clare said while sitting on my bed. I smirked and walked over to my desk. "Yeah, sometimes she talks too much." I said. Clare giggled. I loved her giggled.

We worked on the assignment for about two hours talking about everything that's been going on in our lives. She told me about her family and showed me pictures on her phone. She told me how she wishes how much she could just get away and do anything she wanted. She really needed some time to herself. I mean nine siblings! I have two and already feel as if I could die.

About her dad's new job and about how tired she got of all the drama. She even told me it was her sixteenth birthday next Wednesdays. I knew exactly what I was gonna do. Until her phone rang. "Hello? Oh hey mom, yeah, I'm at home. Tyler… oh Tyler's sleeping. Yeah. He finally took a break from his amp and guitar, make sure to thank dad for me. Alright bye mom, love you." Nice work Edwards.

"So, you lie often?" I said. She looked over at me still clad in her uniform. "Uhm, well my parents aren't strict but considering that our nurse is home alone with all eight of my crazy siblings and Tyler? Yeah, I have to sometimes. Anyways, I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow. Walk me out?" She asked.

I smirked and nodded getting up from my position following her down stairs. "Good bye Cece. It was really nice meeting you." Clare called into the kitchen. My mom rushed over and scooped the little girl into a hug. "Thank you for stopping bye, it was wonderful to meet you too! Come back soon!" My mom said.

Clare agreed and looked at me. "I'll see you to-" I cut her off. "I drove you here. You think I'm gonna let you walk all the way home?" I asked. Clare just smiled and said "Oh Eli you don't have to, I can walk really." I just shook my head refusing.

"Clare it's probably gonna rain. What happens then? You get sick and then don't come tomorrow. That would be bad for both of us. I wouldn't get to see you. I'll get my coat. GO wait in the car." I said. She was blushing but I just demanded. She finally hugged my mom and left.

"Baby boy. I haven't seen you so head over heels in your life." My mom said shaking her head. I turned to her about to reject but I just nodded and said "I know. Hey mom you seem to LOVE Clare, would you totally love it if she came to the recital tomorrow?" I asked hoping for a yes.

"Oh baby boy that sounds wonderful! I'll head there tomorrow with Veronica early so she can get some practice while you run out to fetch Clare! It'll be a blast! Veronica and Thomas should meet you're future girl friend." She huffed out. I smirked. "Mom, give it some time. I'll see you when I get home." I said kissing her cheek and grabbing my leather jacket, slinging it on and running out to the car.

When we got to a gate Clare said her house was at she leaned over me and pressed in a code. "I'll tell you what it is. It's 3435." Clare said. "Why would you tell me?" I asked her. "Because I trust you she said smiling and giggling while looking up at the black fluffy clouds hanging in sky.

I drove into the court yard and saw her house. Well her mansion. It was huge holy cow, she lives here? "Wait you're parents are Randal and Karen the of the CEO?" I asked. "Yeah, parents of the always missing tribe." She giggled out. "Thanks Eli. For driving me home." She took her hand and placed it on my neck and kissed my cheek. She pulled back and smiled.

She placed her hand on the door to get out but I stopped her. "Clare, will you come with me to a ballet recital. I mean it's my sister Veronica's thing at her school. My mom wanted me to ask y-"She cut me off. "I'd love to go Eli." She said kissing my cheek again; grasping the door letting herself out.

Did she just kiss me? Holy Shit. I sped out of her court yard and all the way home. "Mom!" I yelled. "What do you think of Clare?" I asked her. "She is lovely. Very well mannered. Tiny little thing, gorgeous too. Why are you asking?" She said. "I think I found my date to the dance."

Clare's POV

it was raining super hard now and I was scared. When I was younger I got locked outside in a thunder storm four one whole hour without anyone knowing. Ever since that I've hated thunder storms. To me they were like millions of tiny gun bullets hitting everything.

It was freezing cold in my house so I took a hot shower and got dressed in P'j's. I pulled on pink black and white flannel shorts with black and white lace camisole. I pulled on black mabil slippers and went to cook diner.

As I reached the kitchen I found Tyler strumming away, it's not like I didn't hear him I just forgot he was here. I cooked him Mac and Cheese and got him to bed. I checked on Skie who was dancing in her tutu around her room we called the castle. I got Kalyn and brought her upstairs with me. I rocked her to sleep and heard my phone go off.

I checked and saw Eli. "Hello?" I answered still scared of outside. I hated thunder. "Hi Clare. I know you hate thunder. You doing okay?" He asked. "Not really. My house is huge and you can hear the rain coming down pretty hard. Not to mention my room is upstairs on the last floor so it's kind of….really loud. Could you uhmm, could you come over? I mean I know you just dropped me off but I really am scared." I said quietly.

Eli's POV

I smirked. "Sure thing Clare. Hope you don't mind me in P'j's." I said smugly. She giggled. "As long as you don't mind mine. Wanna watch a movie?" She asked. "Sure. I'll bring one." I said "See you soon" I hung up and snuck out the window in my room. My mom loved Clare I could tell but since it was already ten o'clock I figured she'd say no.

I got to Clare's and went through the gate. I rang the doorbell standing in gray cuff sweats and a black v-neck with my jock jacket. I heard the door swing open and saw Clare standing there with straight hair cute sleep shorts house slippers, and a sexy cami.

"Hey Clare. Cute jammies." I smirked. She smiled and said "Uhh, come one in Eli. I'm gonna go get us pillows from the hall closet." Clare said inviting me in. I came in and looked around. Wow, this little girl had a nice house.

I walked to her living room and sat on her white velvet couch. She walked in with two big white pillows and plopped down next to me. "So! What are we gonna watch?" She asked bringing her legs onto the couch Indian style. I smirked at her giddiness. "Well, I was thinking maybe….Insidious?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows waving the movie in her face.

"Eli! That movie scares me!" She said hiding her face in a pillow. "Clare, if you get scared, all you have to do is cover your face with my chest." I said smirking. "Fine. But I'm not putting it in. Your movie your turn." I said. I smirked and got up to put it in.

About ten minutes into the movie Clare screeched and jumped into my lap. I was shocked she was sitting in my lap; head buried in my chest breathing hard arms latched around my neck. "Clare?" I asked. "What?" She screamed before looking up with sorry eyes "What?" she corrected herself after clearing her throat.

"Ha, you're uh, sitting on my lap." I said. She looked down slowly and said "Oh, uh sorry." I laughed and said "You know its only a movie Clare?" I said. "Yes. I know that." She said sitting back down next to me. "Clare?" I asked. "Yes?" She said.

"Can you do me a favor?" I said. "Sure, Eli anything." She said. "Sit in my lap." I smirked.

"What? No."

"Why not, you said anything."

"Well…"

"Clare?"

"Okay." She said smiling.

She climbed into my lap and rested her head on my shoulder with closed eyes. Just when I thought things were perfect, I heard a loud "What are you guys doing?" I turned my head and saw a little girl in lime green converse with a pink starched tutu and a bright yellow long sleeve shirt with bows strapping down every blond curl into pigtails.

"Skie, what are you doing up? I thought you fell asleep two hours ago. Kalyn did!" Clare said getting up standing in front of the blond cutie. "I'm not tired. I want to stay up, with you guys Clare." Skie said flopping next to me. She turned her head abruptly making her pigtails flounce.

"Skie, this is an R rated movie. It's also midnight. There is no way in the world im letting you be with us right now." Clare said crossing her arms staring at Skie. Skie frowned and got up primping her skirt. "Clare, just let me watch the movie. Bella the ballerina wants to see it too." Skie dragged out her last words raising her voice a bit.

"Okay, fine." Clare said sitting next to me flipping the button to play. Bella the ballerina. How cute. I heard a screeching scream come from the T.V followed by a stream of blood. I watched as Skie slapped her right hand over her eyes and her left in the air, assuming it was her ballerina's eyes.

"Nevamind!" Skie said getting up and turning to Clare. Clare just smiled half of her teeth showing. She bent over me her breasts almost actually falling in my face as she propped Skie onto the side of her waist. "I'm gonna go get her to bed. Clare said abruptly turning and kissing the scared little girls cheek.

Clare came back ten minutes later and plopped back onto my lap pressing play, to start the movie... "It's magic what dancing in a tutu can do to a little girl."

She soon fell asleep so I brought her up to her room. I had to look for it, so I pretty much carried her around her whole house. I left her laying in her bed as I pulled up the comforters. Her room was so cute. Creamy porcelain tile and light pink walls. Her bed was in the far corner of her room while her dresser was in the other. Fabrics and glittering lights draped across the ceiling and room.

There were porcelain dolls lined up on shelves with pictures of friends and a couple pictures of all twelve family members. There were posters of Justin Bieber and Taylor lautner half naked on her Cape Cod style ceilings.

I smirked at how cute and child like it was. I headed home to my mom and dad sitting cross armed on the couch. "Well, hello son." My dad said. "H-Hi mom. Dad." I said. "Well, where have you been?" My mom said standing up getting to the point. Ohh Fudge.

"Uhhm, I was out. With Clare." I gulped.

"Clare! What trouble did you get that poor girl into?" My mother shouted. "What? I didn't get her into any trouble! I was at her house watching movies with her!" I screamed holding up my hands in defense.

"Oh. Well, then off to bed. See you in the morning son." My mom said kissing my forehead. I sat there with my dad who was grinning amused. "What?" I asked. "So, uh who's this Clare girl?" My dad asked. "She's just some girl." I said trying to sound uninterested, where really I had been waiting to explain to someone about how much I liked her.

"Really? Just some girl? Why was your mother so excited to hear her name?" He asked. I sighed defeated. "Okay." I sat down next to him on the couch. "She is amazing. She has big bright blue eyes and auburn curly hair. She has an amazing body and she is super smart. She is the most popular girl in school. She is extremely witty and adventurous. She is a grade younger than me and is on the cheer leading squad."

My dad sat there laughing. "What's….what's so funny?" I said, my dad just chuckled and said. "Son, I have seen you talk about girls before. You've never said ANYTHING like that before. I know you boy. You like this girl. A lot." I just sat there, and eventually smiled.

"Yeah. Yeah I guess I do." I said. "Well, good night buddy. Get some rest for Clare tomorrow." My dad left the room after patting my back and chuckling. I sat there. Wow, I really like this girl….Wait a minute I really like this girl! I like her. Not this is cute or hot or is just another one of those popular girls.

She's….different. In a way she is unlike any other human being with her curiosity and smarts, but in another way…she is like any other popular girl. There was some sort of difference to Clare Edwards. Some sort of difference that made her….sexy.
