Hey y'all :D sorry it has taken me awhil to update. This chapter is really short and I personally don't really like it, but I needed to set up the telling of Clare's past 0.o okay, im going to shut up now.
P.S. review they make me smile :D
P.P.S. I have started a second story thingy. It's just songfic oneshots, but check it out :D
The day had passed by a little too quickly for Clare's taste. The lunch bell had just rung snapping her out of her daydream. Now Clare was never one to notice when boys stared or flirted with her. She was to innocent to realize that every boy in school had checked her out at least once. Most of them didn't give her a second glance after noticing the silver band on her left hand. "True heats wait" Clare had lived by this motto her whole life. That little scrap of metal was the only thing that kept her feeling safe. It reminded her that she still had her innocence, even if she had to fight for it.
Her locker slowly came into view through the sea of teens that filled the hall. She was too busy remembering the past to even notice Eli standing by her. He stood there timing on his watch how long it would take Clare to notice him. It had been a good three minutes of him watching her mumble things under her breathe before he spoke up.
"Blue eyes...helloooo? Are you going to talk to me, or do you prefer the air?" Clare jumped, and turned her head toward Eli. Amusement played through his eyes as Clare just stood there. She didn't know why she kept getting so flustered around him. The only other time this happened was with K.C., but there was no way she was going through that again.
"Hm. Sorry just thinking." Eli knew there was way more to the story, but he didn't question it.
"Whatever floats your boat blue eyes. So, how has your first day been so far?"
"Okay, nothing very exciting, unless you count introducing yourself five million times as fun." She shrugged and pushed through the double doors leading to the cafeteria. Ali spotted them, and waved her arms wildly causing Eli to bust up laughing.
"What?" Ali's high pitched voice whined making Clare start laughing as well.
"It's just...you...looked...stupid" that was all Eli was able to get out due to his laughter. Ali huffed, grabbed Clare's arms, and walked away leaving Eli to go find Adam. Clare saw Carly sitting under a tree, and called her over to the table that Ali had dragged her to. Carly took one look at Ali's scowl, and started chuckling.
"Either she just got rejected, or she talked to Eli"
"That little..."
"Eli", both Clare and Carly muttered at the same time.
"Speaking of the wonderful mystery that is Eli, what's going on between you guys?" Carly questioned while nudging Clare's shoulder.
" I have no idea what you are talking about" Clare blushed while saying this, giving it away that she lied.
"Mhhmmm well something is, I mean I see the way you look at him, and look over there," Clare turned around only to see Adam and Eli quickly look away "they have been looking over here and talking for the past ten minutes." Carly looked over once again, but the two boys had walked away when they realized that Carly knew about what they were doing.
"I don't know. I like Eli, but I have never been one to read signs, so I have no clue if he likes me back. Plus I have only known him for a day, you can't just have a relationship after only one day."
"Whatever gets you to sleep at night honey. We will defiantly find out soon, especially if he told Adam. I swear that kid can't keep a secret to save his life." The two girls kept talking until Ali interrupted them, honestly Clare had completely forgotten that she was there.
"Why did you move here Clare?" Ali unknowingly struck a chord in Clare. She couldn't bring herself to answer, so she just got up and ran off while tears fell down her porcelain face. Ali and Carly were left sitting at the table wondering why Clare kept running off.
