(Eli's POV)
The roaring engine of my car quieted in front of the Dot. I walked up the steps. I really hoped Clare was still here. I wanted to spend time alone with her. KC had been making me so angry.
I opened the door listening to the little bell ring. I scanned the room for Clare but when I found her I froze. What I saw made my heart break; my stomach lurch. Sitting in a tucked away corner of the Dot was Clare…and KC. They were kissing deeply.
I couldn't bring myself to leave. It was like I was stuck watching my worst nightmare come true.
I should have seen this coming. The signs were there. But I blocked it out. I bet KC had been planning this ever since that day we met in the halls. God, how could I be so stupid?
Clare's back was to me but I could see KC's face. He opened his eyes. When he noticed me, a smug expression appeared on his face. It was as if he was saying I win.
And I believed he had won. I turned back to the front door, looking at my shoes. How could Clare do this to me? My feelings were twisted; I was so heart-broken. I had to get out of here.

(Clare's POV)
"What are we doing?" I exclaimed, pushing KC away. "I have a boyfriend! This is crazy!"
"Don't worry its fine." He said, taking my face in his hands and leaning in to kiss me again.
"I'm leaving." I said standing, piling my books messily into my backpack.
"Wait," KC said, grabbing my arm. "Don't go. I care about you; I want to be with you."
"You had your chance."
"What about the test tomorrow?"
"I could care less. Have fun failing."
I hurried out of the Dot angrily.
At least Eli was having a better time than me.
