Eli's P.O.V
When I got to school I went straight to Clare's locker hoping she would be there. Of course she wasn't. Where would she be right now? With my luck today, she's home sick. But I have to find her. Crap, this is not going to be easy.
Adam's P.O.V
"Hey!" I yelled to Eli. He seems like he's looking for something. "What are you looking for?"
"Huh?" was his smart reply.
"You look like you're looking for something? What is it?"
"Oh, I'm looking for Clare."
Uh oh. "Why?" This isn't good. If they talk then they'll know I lied to both of them.
"I want to try and convince her to come back to English. Even if things are awkward between us."
"Yea." I said. I have to stop them from interacting. But, how? Then it hit me. "I could talk to her for you. If you want."
"Nah, that's ok. I want to try to smooth things out between us." That's not good. For a second there, it sounded like….. he didn't trust me. I'm just being paranoid though, Eli trusts me.
"Oh, ok." This is not ok. If he wants to smooth things out between them, then that means he wants to talk to her about how they feel. Then they'll realize they feel the same way and I was lying to them. I could come clean now, and save myself the embarrassment.
"Do you know where Clare is?" he suddenly asked.
Yes. "Nope, sorry dude." I need to keep them away as long as I can.
"Oh, do you think she might be in yearbook?"
"Uh," that's exactly where she is, "I think she said they didn't have yearbook today."
"I think I'll check anyway." Crap.
"Ok, but can you take me to the nurse's office? I'm not feeling very well."
"Ummm… I can't. I gotta go."
"But…" Then I fell to the ground with my eyes closed. Everyone thought I passed out, but I didn't. I needed a distraction so I took the all time worst distraction from all those movies where the drama queen girl pretends to faint so no decent guy would leave her there. Damn, I've become such a girl!
"Um, Adam, are you ok?" Eli sounds kind of panicked. I don't respond. "Shit, well I guess I kinda have to take you to the nurse now. Hey! Drew, come help me take Adam to the nurse!" Great, now the whole school knows I "passed out", but I guess it's ok since it bought me some time.
A/N. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. And that this is so short. But… I gots a new story bout to be out. If I have my way, it'll be out tonight. An Eclare story! Which is so much easier to write than this one. So read it if you want to!
