Chapter 13

Clare' P.O.V., the next day

" So, what, you're gonna keep it a secret?" I asked Adam. Him, Eli, and I were sitting at a picnic table near the school before the bell rings.

He nodded. " Yeah. I don't want to be beat up like I was at my old school. It got pretty bad."

I frowned. Eli shrugged. " You're choice. But what if someone finds out? What then?"

Adam thought for a moment. "Then I'll just have to take the beating."

Eli and I exchanged glances letting each other know that we would never let that happen. The bell rang then and I stood up and gathered my things.

" I can't be late today, so I'll see you guys in English?" I asked.

Eli smiled. " Yeah, see ya."

I walked away and frowned as I saw who was standing on the other side of the school doors. He ought to be lucky that Eli didn't see him.

I walked briskly past Fitz. He caught up to me. " Hey, Clare."

I shivered. I didn't like the way he said my name. It felt...wrong. " Um, h-hi."

He put his arm around me. " Come on, don't be so cold."

I moved away from under his arm and glared at him. " Listen, I'm not interested, if that's what you're getting at."

He smiled. " Really? Are you sure? Because I could make it worth your while."

I wrinkled my nose in disgust. "I'm not interested in those type of things."

He moved closer. " What about friends with benefiets." His arm snaked up my shirt and I squeeled.

He laughed. " Skittish?" He pulled me close, his hand reaching my bra.

I smacked at him and moved away. " Don't touch me!" I ran away from him, not even bothering to stop at my locker. When I saw my biology classroom, I stopped and ran in. I looked behind me and let out a sigh of relief. I really hoped I wouldn't see him after class.

Eli's P.O.V.

When Adam and I finished up with our conversation, I walked into the building. I cringed at the sight of Fitz. He was laughing with his buddies.

" Yeah, man. I got under her top," he boasted to his friends.

I began to walk slower, tuning into their conversation. Who would ever let Fitz go under their shirt?

" Wait, are we talking about the same girl here?" the other guy said. I think his name was Owen.

" Hell yeah. Clare Edwards."

I froze. Then I could feel my face twist in anger. I'll kill him. I'll KILL HIM! I turned around went over to Fitz. " What did you just say?"

He looked surprised to see me then he smiled. ' oh, so you're an eavesdropper, huh, Goldsworthy?"

I got into his face. " You didn't touch her."

He grinned. " Yes, I did. Right in the hallway, too. I felt her up. She lets out the cutest moans."

That sent me over the edge. I slammed Fitz to the ground, pounding him with blows that he didn't even see coming. Then I felt strong arms grab me from behind, trying to pry me off of Fitz.

" Calm down, boy." It was Coach Armstrong. I let him move me away from Fitz. " What's the meaning of this?"

" He just attacked me!" Fitz said, wiping his mouth which was flowing with blood.

" You know what you did, you son of a bitch!"

" Woah, now, " Coach Armstrong said, " We don't need to use profanity. Both of you, go to the principal's office."

I walked down the hall, trying to keep my distance from Fitz. He smirked at me.

" She ain't your girl, Eli. Not for long."

I tuned him out as we entered the principal's office. He wasn't going to get away with this. Not now, not ever.

Clare's P.O.V.

" He did WHAT?" I whispered to Adam making sure that Ms. Dawes didn't hear us.

He nodded. " Yeah, him and Fitz went at it in the hall this morning. They got suspended."

I shook my head in disbelief. " No way. What was it about?"

He shrugged. " I don't know, but whatever it was, it must have really pissed Eli off."

I frowned. " Ugh! How could he do this. I told him not to do anything."

He smiled reasuringly. " He's stubborn."

I nodded. " Yeah, I know." I have to visit him today. He's got a LOT of explaining to do.

I walked up onto Eli's porch and knocked. He answered right away.

He must have seen how angry I was because his expression went from happy to worried. " Uh, listen, Clare-"

I held up my hand. Then I looked to see if he were hurt. His cheeks was cut. I carressed it with my thumb. He leaned into my hand. I sighed. " Eli, what happened?"

He opened the door wider so that I could come in. When I was fully in, he closed the door. " Fitz said some...stuff. About you. And I didn't like it," He said.

I frowned. " Eli, you can't let him get to you like that. He's an as- a donkey."

He raised an eyesbrow. " An asshole indeed." He smirked.

I pursed my lips. " I didn't say that."

" But you were going to."

" Shut up."

" Okay." He was quiet. And then minutes ticked by.

I sighed, exasperated. " PLEASE, say something!"

He smirked. " Okay. Hi, Clare, how was your day today? Mine was terrible. Wanna know why? Of course you don't, because you already know."

I took that chance to wrap my arms around him. " It'll get better. How long's your suspension?"

He grimaced. " A week."

I stared at him. " For a fight? Really?"

" Mr. Simpson went discipline gangsta on me."

I giggled. " Well, I'll keep you posted on what goes on."

He smiled. " Does that mean you'll come over every day?"

I smiled. " Of course. How can I resist."

" I am irresistable." We laughed.

I stared into his green irises. " I think I want to start callin' you green eyes," I said.

" That's my thing, Blue Eyes."

I smiled. " Yeah, well, I like it, Green Eyes."

He smiled and buried his face into my coller. I took in a sharp breath. " I love you, Clare."

I froze. " What?"

He rose his head up, his face flushed. " What?"

" You just said-"

" No I didn't."

I smiled. " Yes you did."

He shook his head. " I have no idea what you're talking about."

" Well then, I guess I shouldn't say that I love you, too."

" You do?"

I kissed him softly on the lips and pressed my forehead against his. " Yes, I do."

He smiled and kissed me fiercer on the lips.

" Eli!" We turned to find Anna Grace charging towards us. She then grabbed Eli by the ear and began to drag him away. " You, Mister are in big trouble. OHHH, when Aunt Carol hears about this, she's gonna kick you in your ass!"

I laughed and looked at him with pity as she took him away. Then she stopped and turned to me with a smile. " Sorry, Clare, but Eli's gonna be grounded."

" Ha!" he snorted," You're not my mother."

Anna Grace had this funny look on her face. " Yeah, well ya momma's gonna be home tomorrow ready to woop some butt, I thought maybe you should get a head start."

He nodded quickly. " Okay." Then he turned to me. " Call me."

I giggled and Anna Grace rolled her eyes and yanked on his ear. " Let's go, Romeo. Bye, Clare."

" Will you let go of my ear?"

" Nope."

I laughed and began to leave. I'd call him later. If Anna Grace hadn't already killed him.
