Chapter 6

Clare's P.O.V.

I was taking deep rigid breaths as I moved closer and closer to the school. It's time, I thought, Time to tell Eli how I feel.

When I saw him sitting at a bench, Adam sprawled across the top, reading a comic, I smiled. Well, at least he wasn't nervous like me. I walked up to them. Adam was so engrossed in his comic that he didn't even notice me, but those intense green eyes seemed to be aware of my presence even when I were a mile away.

" Hey, Clare." He said.

Adam looked up to find me and smiled. " What's up Clare?"

I smiled back. " Hey, Adam. Do you mind if I take Eli for a bit? I need to talk to him."

He shrugged and began to read again. I looked over at Eli and he did the exact same thing but he placed his book down and stood up. I lead him over to where we were out of ear shot.

" What's up, Blue Eyes?" he asked playfully.

I was completely serious. " Listen, Eli, I've been meaning to tell you that, when I first-"

" Clare!" I groaned and turned to see KC. He was smiling, but it was slightly off.

" Hi," I said coldly.

He glanced over at Eli and his smile disappeared. " What's going on?"

I frowned. I guess I'll have to deal with KC first. I sighed. " Look, KC, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but...you are really starting to agitate me right now. SO if you don't mind, I would like for you to go."

He stared at me for a moment then laughed harshly. " Are you serious? I'm agitating you?" He laughed again then once he sobered, he glared at me, anger in his eyes. " You're the one agitating me, Clare! You're wasting your time with some freak of nature when you can have this? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Eli was about to move forward but I stopped him. KC had just made me angry. " First of all, Eli is not a freak of nature! He is kind and caring and sweet and smart and cute and sarcastic and everything that you could never be!" I said my eyes narrowing in on him like a target," And second of all, Why would I want that? You're a self centered jock who's totally lost his marbles! SO next time you want to bash someone, go look in the mirror. Cause that's the only freak I see." Then I took Eli by the arm and took him back over to the bench, leaving KC standing there, stunned.

Adam was staring at me. " What?" I asked.

He broke into a huge grin. " Clare, you're sort of my hero."

Author's note: sorry to interrupt, but I just wanted to point out that that was what he said to Sav which I found hilarious xD Adam, you suck up :) But he's the bestest friend anyone could have, I'm sure :D Okay, you may resume;)

The realization of what just happened finally caught up to me. My cheeks were burning up. " O-oh. I don't know what came over me, I just-"

" Said that I was cute," Eli interrupted with a smirk," I know."

I blushed even more, my eyes on my hands.

" O-kay!" Adam said," I see that this is a third wheel moment so I'm just gonna...yeah." He walked away laughing.

I put my head on my arm, burring my face as I rested against the table.

Eli laughed. " If you thought I was cute, Clare, all you had to do was say so."

I sighed and lifted my head, not meeting his eyes. I stared straight ahead as I spoke. " You're more than cute Eli, you're gorgeous and cool and awesome. And I'm just so-"

" Beautiful and sweet and awesomer."

I turned to meet his gaze. He wasn't smirking. He was smiling. A true, genuine Eli smile. I smiled slowly. " Really? Y-you think so?"

He frowned. " What, you don't believe me?"

I rolled my eyes. " Nope."

He grinned. " Fine, I'll prove it." He began to climb on top of the wooden table.

" What are you doing?" I hissed," Eli! Get down!"

he cleared his throat and yelled at the top of his lungs, " CLARE EDWARDS IS THE BEAUTIFULLEST, SWEETEST, AND AWESOMEST PERSON ALIVE!" He smiled down at me. Then he whispered, so that only I could hear, " And I want her to be mine."

I was at a lost for words. Was this really happening? Well, God? Was it?

" So," Eli said as he got down from the table," will you be mine?"

I gulped. " Y-yeah! Sure. Okay!"

He grinned then cupped my face between his hands. The kiss was hard, yet it felt so soft. It was filled with more passion than I thought I had in me. I kissed him back just as feverishly. I wanted this. This is exactly what I wanted. What I needed. Who would I be without it?

"Ahem," Someone cleared their voice.

We turned to see Alli. " Um, yeah, Clare? Is that you? Wow, never thought you'd be one to show full on PDA on school grounds." He grinned.

I looked at Eli. He smirked. I blushed. " S-sorry."

She smiled, " Yeah, well, we'll all be sorry if we miss that bell again, so could you guys take a break from playing tonsil hockey to get to class?"

We stood up. " Sure, yeah. Lets go."

Eli held me close to him, making sure to show off our intertwined hands by swinging them back and forth. He had a huge grin on his face that said ' Mission Accomplished '. I smiled. Yeah, mission accomplished.

When I got to biology, we stopped at the door. I stared up at him in wonder. " So," I said, " You're not gonna go AWOL on me later right?"

He leaned down and kissed me feircly again. " Does that answer your question?"

" Miss Edwards! Mr. Goldsworthy! No public displays of affection on school grounds, " the teacher said seeing as she had seen us from in the class room. I blushed and Eli laughed.

" See you later, Blue Eyes." He kissed me on the cheek then walked off, not even caring that he'd be late to his own class. I Walked slowly into the class, everyone's eyes were on me. I took my seat.

Some girl leaned over to me, I think her name was Caitlin. " Hey, Clare, right?"

I nodded. " Yeah."

She looked to see if the teacher was looking then continued to talk. " So, like, what, is Eli your boyfriend?"

I smiled slowly, liking that someone other than Alli called him my boyfriend. " yeah, he is."

She pursed her lips. " Damn. Lucky." Then she leaned back into her seat.

Yes, I was lucky to have someone like Eli. He was the half to my whole.
