(Clare's POV)
"Big test tomorrow," Mr. Richard announced.
"Oh crap." I heard KC mutter.
"What?"
"I lost my notes." He exclaimed, digging through his backpack.
"Oh, I have mine. Wanna borrow them?" I said as we were walking out of the classroom.
"I'm kinda rusty on this chapter. Can u help me? Like, tutor me; later at the Dot?" he said.
"Sure."
"Cool." KC said with a big grin.
I awkwardly smiled back.
As we walked down the hallway (perhaps a little too close) we brushed hands, but in that one moment I thought I felt something, electricity? No, I must've been imagining things.
The closer we got to my locker, I noticed Eli standing there. He face was stern and body tense. I wonder what was wrong.
"So….see you at 7," KC asked.
"Yeah," I smiled. KC turned around and walked back down the hallway towards his locker. Why had he walked me all this way if he was just going to turn around and head back?
"Hey, what's up?" I asked Eli.
"Not much, Adam and I are just gonna catch a movie tonight, cool?"
"Yeah, that's perfect because I have a big test to study for. I'm gonna be over at the Dot…if you wanna come by after the movie." I said, trying to imply that I wanted Eli to be there.
"Hey guys! What's up?" Adam said walking up to Eli and me. With the arrival of his friend, Eli brightened.
Adam turned to Eli, "We still on for the movies tonight, dude?"
"Hell yeah, can't wait for Zombie Mayhem 3!" He said with a smirk.
"Booyah!" Adam and Eli said in unison, slapping their hands in a high-five.
I laughed, "You two are such nerds."
"We prefer Zombie enthusiasts." Adam exclaimed with a smile.
