(Clare's POV)
The last bell of the day had just rung and, strangely, I hadn't seen KC all day. I really needed to tell him that I couldn't go out with him again. Eli walked me to the front steps, kissed my forehead, and headed off to his car.
With a silly grin on my face I walked over to where my bike was parked, but when I got there my smile disappeared. Standing next to my bike was KC. I took a deep breath and walked up to him. "KC," I breathed, "We need to talk." I gestured towards a nearby bench.
We sat down and an awkward silence fell over us. KC's body was tense. Was this the right time to tell him this? I decided that I had to get it over with sometime. "I'm really sorry…" I began, "but I picked Eli."
KC looked straight ahead of him, "I know."
Something in his voice scared me a bit, but I kept going, "It's just that…we can't be together. We had our chance last year and it just didn't work out. I think we should stay away from each-," Something hard suddenly hit me in the cheek. It was KC's hand. I held my own hand to my stinging cheek and looked up at KC. He was facing me now, his face full of disgust.
Tears filled in my eyes and poured down my face. I ran to my bike and quickly pedaled away. Looking over my shoulder, I could see KC still sitting on the bench, his hand still in the air.

(KC's POV)
I hit Clare. I couldn't believe it. I hit Clare, and it felt good.
After she ran away crying, I sat there thinking about my next move, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw Eli's hearse still parked in the parking lot; which meant he was still here.
I skulked over to the front of the Hearse with a smirk on my face. Eli was in the front seat reading a book. After a good five minutes, I picked up a hand sized rock and hurled it at the windshield.
Eli looked up just as the rock made contact with the glass. He covered his face with his arms as the windshield shattered into a million pieces and fell on top of him. A few small pieces of glass had scratched his arm, but otherwise he was fine; Damnit.
The car door whipped open as Eli jumped out of it. "Dude what the hell!" Eli shouted, running towards me. Before I knew it, he was all up in my face. "What's your problem!" he yelled, shoving me.
My grin faltered. "Lay off!"
"You shudda' thought of that before wrecking my car, asshole!" he said, shoving me again.
"If you touch me one more time…. I'm…I'm-" I was too angry to find the words.
"You're what?" Eli challenged.
"I'm gonna kill you." I growled.
Eli stopped, shocked. Good let him be shocked, I smiled.
"And let me tell you this once: this isn't over. Clare will be mine, and I will stop at nothing to get her back."
At that, I walked towards my bike and rode away.
