Situations Chapter 5
Sorry for not updating this weekend. I went out of town this weekend and I wasn't near a computer so I couldn't update. But now I am sick, which is not good for me, but good for you, because now I can stay home and write! Yay! *starts coughing like I'm about to die* But seriously, I will be writing a lot. I have a lot in mind and I can't wait to write it.
So, most of you guys said that I would be brining Jake into this story. Well… I thought about it, but honestly, I didn't feel comfortable with writing a character that I have NO IDEA how he acts. Sorry to disappoint. Plus, I already put Jake in before except with Alli. Oh well… tehehe.
Summary: Eli and Clare are far from friends; they hate each other. But when hormones are added to that, could the anger and frustration towards each other become pleasure? Will it stay casual or will it lead to something more?

"A certain girl, she took my hand and ran it up her thigh"
Clare's POV
The week was going by a lot faster than I expected.
Monday nothing really happened. Eli and I went back to our separate lives, Alli and Adam didn't suspect a thing; although they did confront me about the whole pool incident. Apparently Owen and KC just had to brag about how they through me into a pool. I told Alli and Adam I was fine, but when Alli and I got to our room, she saw my bruise. I was lying on my stomach on my bed, texting, and I winced, so Alli checked my back before I could tell her not to, she saw the bruise and went on a rampage. Let's just say there's a lot of anger in that tiny body of hers.
Tuesday was similar; except this time Eli started insulting me again, but I didn't expect anything less. It wasn't a huge insult so it didn't really faze me. Owen and KC approached me at one point but surprisingly Alli decided to play the 'If you don't get the fuck away from her imma beat your ass till your mom feels it' card. She literally said that and Owen and KC ran faster than you could say purple monkey dishwasher.
Now, it was Wednesday and things began to change, and I'm not sure if it was for the good or the bad.
I was on my way to class when Eli walked by, smirking as he bumped my shoulder, causing all of my books to fall to the floor. I turned and shot him a death glare but he just shrugged, the smirk still playing at his lips. I groaned as I got down and began to pick up my books.
"Oh look, Clare's on her knees. Desperate much?" Eli said loud enough for everyone to hear.
I glared at him as everyone pointed and laughed. Well, the girls pointed and laughed while some guys began to line up. I rolled my eyes and picked up my books, turning to glare at Eli.
"You're just jealous because I'm not on my knees for you." I spat.
He scoffed and rolled his eyes. The bell rung and everyone departed, except for Eli. I wasn't in the mood for one of his little games so I decided to head to class. I turned around and was instantly knocked to the ground after I hit a hard chest.
"Oh my god, I'm sorry, I didn't see you." I heard an unfamiliar voice say.
I looked up and was instantly looking into hazel eyes. I had never seen this boy before. He was wearing dark wash jeans that were a little baggy on the top and a maroon V-neck. He had dark brown hair with little blond highlights. I took in his whole look and I couldn't help but stare. This man was unbelievably sexy. If I could jump him right here, right now, I would.
"Are you okay?" I heard him asked.
I shook my head and snapped back into reality.
"Huh? Oh yeah, sorry."
"Why are you sorry? I'm the one who knocked you to the ground." He chuckled, extending his hand. "Sorry about that by the way." He smiled.
Oh my… his smile was captivating.
I smiled back and reached up, placing my hand in his as he lifted me up from the ground. After I was back on my feet he bent down and picked up my books for me. I smiled at him as he handed them to me.
"I'm Tyler by the way," he smiled and extended his hand.
"Clare," I smiled and shook his hand.
For a moment we just stood there, shaking hands rapidly, smiling at each other as we gazed into one another's eyes. For some reason, I suddenly wanted to get to know this boy. He just gave me this vibe and I couldn't turn away. He was just so-
"So Clare, I'll see you around?" Tyler asked, breaking me from my thoughts.
I smiled, "Definitely."
He nodded and made his way around me, walking down the hall before turning the corner. I turned around, smiling like an idiot, but my smile soon fell when I noticed Eli leaning against the wall staring at me.
"What?" I snapped, glaring at him.
He seemed to snap back into reality and looked around like he had no idea what was going on. He turned back to me and got up from the wall before opening and closing his mouth. He cleared his throat and then pointed down the hallway before going in the direction of where he pointed.
I pinned my eyebrows together and watched him walk down the hallway, running his hand through his hair and turning the corner.
What the hell just happened?
"Oh my god, have you met the new guy?"
"He is so dreamy."
"Did you see the way he walks? I just want to jump him."
"Oh no way, he is mine!"
"Like hell he is!"
Those were the sounds of hormonal girls who will throw themselves at any new comer for attention.
As I walked through the halls of Degrassi and out the front doors, this is all that was heard. Alli and I were on our way to the Dot, going to eat lunch before our last class of the day. I would just roll my eyes at the girls who were gushing over… Tyler. Just the mention of his name makes my cheeks heat up and a smile to form on my lips. Oh my… I just met the boy and he already has this effect on me?
"What are you so happy about?" Alli asked as we entered the Dot, breaking me from my thoughts.
"Uh, no reason." If it was possible, I would have blush a deeper red.
Alli nodded slowly while giving me the 'I know you're lying' look, telling me she wouldn't push further but she still didn't believe me. We sat down at a table and waited for the waiter to approach us. A girl came up and asked what we wanted to drink; I ordered a glass of lemonade and Alli ordered an iced tea.
Once the waitress walked away, Alli and I began talking about anything and everything. Well, not everything, since I wouldn't budge about Tyler.
"Did something happen between you and 'Mystery Man'?" She asked, wiggling her perfectly shaped eyebrows.
I pinned my eyebrows together, confused by her words then suddenly remembered about Eli. My face relaxed and I replied, "No, it's not that."
"Then what's got you so happy like this?" She asked.
I looked down and the blush reappeared. "I met the new guy, Tyler."
"Tyler? That's a hot name." Alli said smiling.
I stared at her in disbelief. "That's it? That's all you're going to say?"
She giggled, "No, so how did you meet?"
"I ran into him earlier today, like literally ran into him," I blushed.
"Did you feel his chest?" she asked.
"Alli!" I shrieked as I playfully slapped her. "No, I was too busy falling to the ground."
She rolled her eyes, "Well you better talk to him again. You haven't gotten any action in a while." She stated. Oh boy was she wrong.
I nodded, just for the sake of the argument. Don't get me wrong, I want to tell Alli about Eli, but I couldn't. She'd kill me, bring me back to life to make me clean up the mess and then kill me again.
Alli and I began talking about her and Jake and how they were doing, even though I wasn't really paying attention. Suddenly, Alli stopped her rambling and stared at the front door.
"Damn, now he is FINE!" Alli said, putting extra emphases on 'fine'.
I turned around and my eyes widened as Tyler walked in the door, glancing around before his eyes landed on mine. He smiled a small smile and walked over to me as I returned it.
"Hey, Clare." He smiled.
"Hey," I responded.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Alli, who was just staring at me, confused.
"You two know each other?" Alli asked.
"Yeah, Alli this is Tyler, Tyler this is Alli." I said, gesturing to each of them.
"Hey," Tyler said.
"Hey," Alli replied just as the waitress came and gave us our drinks. As she left she gave a flirty smile to Tyler, who just ignored it, making me smile. "Well I'll just be going… over… there." Alli said, smiling at me as she grabbed her drink and left.
I nodded and looked over at Tyler who looked nervous.
"You want to sit down?" I asked, gesturing to the seat in front of me.
He nodded and sat down, smiling softly. I couldn't help the butterflies form in my stomach as I noticed our proximity. I didn't really know where to start.
"So uh, where are you from?" I asked. Wow that was lame.
"Edmonton, Alberta." He stated.
I raised my eyebrows, "Wow, what brought you here?" I asked.
"My dad's job. He got a promotion and… here we are." He said, motioning his hands to the surroundings.
I nodded, not quite sure of what to say.
"So, tell me about yourself." Tyler said, smiling slightly as he leaned his elbows on the table.
"There's not much to tell." I said.
"Oh come on, there must be something interesting about you." He smirked and for some reason, I was disappointed. His smirk was not the one I wanted to see.
"Nope, I'm pretty boring." I laughed slightly.
"I doubt that." He said sweetly.
I looked up into his eyes and smiled. This could be a new start. Tyler wasn't here when Eli was making rumours up about me so maybe he will get to know the real me. And maybe this could grow into something bigger than friendship.
I glanced over to the side and noticed a skateboard sitting next to some random guys chair. I looked back up to Tyler as he sat there staring at the table.
"I don't know how to skateboard."
"What?" he asked glancing up at me.
"You wanted to know something interesting about me." I said.
He started chuckling. "I can't believe you don't know how to skateboard."
"Hey, it's not my fault no one bothered to teach me." I argued.
"Well I guess I can." He shrugged.
"Deal, but don't laugh if I fall on my ass, which knowing me will most likely happen." We both shared a chuckle.
I turned my head slightly and noticed Eli walking inside the door. I turned back to Tyler, hoping Eli wouldn't see me, but somehow I knew that wasn't going to work. From the corner of my eye I noticed Eli was walking towards me.
Leave me alone. Leave me alone. Leave me al-
"Clare."
Dammit!
I turned my head and said, "Eli."
"Can I talk to you?" Eli asked looking at Tyler, giving him a death glare, but I knew he was talking to me.
"Uh, right now?" I asked and Eli nodded.
"It's okay, I have to go anyways." Tyler said. He smiled at me before getting up and walking out of the Dot.
I frowned as I watched Tyler leave out of the Dot. I turned back and noticed Eli sitting in the chair Tyler was recently sitting in. I glanced around the Dot, making sure there wasn't anyone who knew either of us; because if someone saw us sitting at the same table, they would know something is off.
To my surprise, there wasn't many people here, and I noticed Alli had left, most likely to go meet Jake.
I turned back to Eli who was sitting with his hands laced together as they lay on the table. He was looking at his hands, barely even blinking, which kind of scared me.
I leaned back in my chair and waited for him to say something. He said he wanted to talk, so why is he just sitting here?
"Ahem." I cleared my throat, making him look up at me. "You wanted to talk?"
He sat up and brought his hands to his lap. "Yeah, uh… could you come over tonight?" I raised my eyebrows and he continued, "English notes, I meant could you come over and bring you're… English notes." He said nervously.
I smirked and leaned over the table, placing my hands under my chin as my elbows rested on the table. "Are you sure that's why you want me to come over?"
He leaned in and mimicked me, propping his elbows on the table and resting his chin on his hands. "Maybe, maybe not. I guess you'll just have to come over and find out." He smirked.
We sat there, staring at each other, not even blinking. I stared into his eyes as he stared into mine, the smirk never leaving either of our faces. I suddenly forgot about Tyler; it was like he was just another stranger.
"Okay." I responded finally.
His smirk grew bigger and he nodded. "But seriously, bring your notes, I wasn't paying attention at all last class." He chuckled slightly.
"Yeah, I know. You were too busy texting me dirty things." I giggled.
He scoffed, "Don't pretend you didn't like them."
I rolled my eyes and smiled a little at him. He smiled a small smiled back and said, "Come over around 11. That's when Drew leaves and he won't be back until 1 I think."
I nodded and he got up and left. I gathered my things, placed a few bills on the table and left the Dot.
I wonder if he plans on studying or something else.
Oh lord, this should be interesting.
Okay, I know there was A LOT of dialog in this but trust me, next chapter will totally make up for it! ;)
Reviews? They make my day. Plus, the more I get, the more I write:) just keep that in mind. :)
