Chapter 2

(I think some of the things Imogen says in this chapter are pretty rare. But a lot is strictly Imogen-talk.) This chapter is going to be very short. Enjoy! xoxo

As Clare was walking out of Biology, she bumped into Imogen. "Why hello, Clare Edwards." Imogen said, immediately making Clare want to hit her. "Imogen, I have to get to my locker." Clare replied, trying to sound as rude as she could but it wasn't very easy.

"I'd like to talk to you for a minute, just the two of us." Imogen said, pushing a lock of her dark brown hair behind her ears.

What the hell is wrong with her? Couldn't she see that I can't stand to even look at her? Clare thought to herself. She checked her watch. 11:20. She had 10 minutes until she had to meet with Jake. "Sure. But I can't stay long." Clare told her.

They sat on one of the benches in the hallway. Imogen spoke first.

"I see the way you look at Eli," She started. Clare was just about to protest, but Imogen wasn't finished. "I'd like for you to know that Eli moved on from you a long time ago. I'm a part of him now, and he's welcomed me into all of the things that are important to him," She looked around, checking to see if anyone was listening.

"He's welcomed me into his thoughts, his dreams, his bed," She said, and saw Clare's facial expression change completely. She thought she could handle this, without getting mad, but she wasn't sure anymore.

"I'm also in love with him. Unlike you, who dropped him at the first signs of his illness. You never really loved him, did you?" With that last sentence, Imogen had managed to change her tone of voice, so she would sound kind.

Clare was sick of this. She was sick of seeing Imogen flaunt Eli in front of her like she owned him, she was sick of Imogen and her physcho plan, she was sick of being told she never loved Eli, when the truth was, she hasn't stopped. This was it. Clare wasn't going to be a saint anymore, she couldn't handle this sudden pressure.

"Just shut up Imogen! You shouldn't even know half the stuff you do know about Eli and me. You're sick! You flaunt Eli around like he's some prize. Well I'm sorry I apparently didn't treat him right. All I did was fall in love with him just to be scared out of my mind. How dare you walk up to me like your some angel, and tell me all this shit about you and Eli and how your sleeping with him, and you love him and I never did! You know I love Eli more than anything, or is that just something you didn't listen in on when you were stalking us? I'm sick of this! I'm not going to sit around while you slowly kill him and make him hate me! I know he still loves me! I just know it!"

She was screaming now. Everyone was staring. It didn't matter to Clare. Eli had walked into the hallway during the commotion and heard all of it. Clare didn't see him, she was so hurt. She pushed right by him and headed straight outside.

Eli walked over to Imogen, who was smirking; pretty much laughing. He's never seen Clare that upset. He was going to yell at Imogen, but then she sat him down.

"I'm sorry that you had to see that. I'm guessing she isn't over you yet. But you don't love her, right? She's just trying to get attention. She doesn't really love you, she just doesn't want me with you." Imogen said.

Eli was confused. He didn't know what to do, what to say. Hell, he didn't even know what to think anymore. "I gotta go, I'll see you later." And he ran off.

He was going to go outside and talk to Clare, but when he walked to the door, he couldn't see her. Then he realized. Imogen is the least of Clare's problems right now. I've got to find her.

Imogen was still smirking. She's letting the crazy get to her. She's right where I want her.

Hope you liked this one! I told you it was going to be long! I hope you liked how I used one of Imogen's creepy lines in the end. That's all that came to mind. Hope this is what you guys were hoping for, and I already have an idea for the 3rd chapter, if you'd like me to post. Thanks, bye! 3
