Situations Chapter 18
Thank you so much for your reviews! I loved them. I also loved your reaction to the Whip Cream fight. Haha. I love Whip Cream :)
P.s. I'm done with having part of the song lyrics at the top. It's getting annoying because I keep forgetting it. Anyways, hope you enjoy this.
LilithSky: Haha, I'll be looking forward to hearing that music. But it better be upbeat, otherwise it won't work with my dance. Lol. And there will be a few more chapters before the whole public scandal thing will happen, but I have a great idea on how it's going to go down, :)
ilovetaylorswift13: I'm glad you liked the last chapter! :) I also wanted to say thank you for reviewing like every chapter! Haha. It means a lot and each chapter I look forward to your reviews :) I love to hear- er, read- what you have to say lol.
Alaskan Panda: Haha, that sounds like fun! Minus the getting grounded part and having your bff's banned from your house. Lol.
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?

Clare's POV
…
One month later
…
"So, Clare, what are you doing for the long weekend?" Alli asked as we sat on the grass in front of the school.
I shrugged, "I don't know, you?"
I closed my eyes and tilted my head back, letting the sun shine on my face. I loved the feeling of the warmth on my skin; it was peaceful.
"Sav and I are going to visit mom and dad. They called and said we needed to visit, so instead of staying here and partying with my best friend, I will be stuck at home, having my parents watch me like a hawk." I could hear the annoyance in her voice.
"Unless," she began, making me open my eyes and look at her. She had a huge smile on her face as she stared at me, batting her eyelashes. My eyes widened at what she was implying.
"No, no, no way." I said, sitting up more.
"Please, I will love you forever." She pleaded.
"Still not worth it." I said, half joking.
I would love to see her parents, but I could not handle being in that house for three days. I love Alli and her family, but they are the strictest people I have ever met. I think I would go insane if I had to stay at her house for more than one night.
"Please? You said you don't have any plans, so what's stopping you?"
Just as Alli asked me this, I noticed Adam walking by us. He smiled at me and then began walking away again, but not before I could reach up and grab his arm, pulling him down next to me.
"I just remembered, I have plans with Adam." I told Alli, smiling apologetically.
"We do?" Adam asked, earning a jab in the side from my elbow. He cleared his throat, "I mean we do."
Alli frowned, looking at me with her puppy dog face. I shook my head and she sighed, finally giving up.
"Okay, well, I'll see you later… Clare." Adam said, playing along.
I nodded and mouthed 'thank you' to him when Alli wasn't looking. He nodded and began walking away to meet up with Katie.
…
Later
…
Adam and I were in his dorm room, playing Black Ops while sitting on the floor. Adam was the one who got me into video games. When I would come over to hang out, he would always suggest playing video games, and one day, I gave in.
"Yes! I win!" I yelled, doing a happy dance. Well, the best happy dance I could do while I was sitting down.
"You cheated." Adam said, glaring at me playfully.
"You just can't take the fact that a girl beat your ass." I stuck my tongue out at him.
He rolled his eyes and turned the game off. I rolled over and lay on my back, facing the ceiling. Adam chuckled at me and came and lay down next to me, his head beside mine as his body was opposite to mine.
"Thanks for covering for me with Alli." I said.
"No problem, what was that about anyways?"
"Alli invited me to spend the weekend with her and her family." I explained.
"Ah, I understand." He chuckled.
Adam knows how Alli's family is. When Alli's parents came to visit one weekend, Adam met them once and dodged them for the rest of the weekend. He told me that they scare him, which I don't blame him. They can be pretty scary and judgmental.
"So, did you talk to Eli today?" Adam asked, breaking me from my thoughts.
"No," I pinned my eyebrows together, "Why?"
"Uh… nothing, never mind." He said.
"Tell me." I pleaded.
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Come on, please?"
"No. Eli will be here soon any ways, so he can tell you." Adam said, getting up and sitting on his bed.
I frowned and lay there, on the floor. What was Adam talking about? Why did he make it seem like it was a big secret? What did Adam know that I didn't?
This past month has been good between Eli and I, and I would hate to think that he might be ending it. We were still dating secretly, but it was working. No one really suspected anything and we are happy. When Drew and Alli stayed in, we would sometimes go to Adam's room to meet up. Adam said he doesn't mind as long as we don't do it on his bed. His words, not mine.
"Why are you on the floor?" I heard a familiar voice ask, breaking me from my thoughts.
I looked over and saw Eli standing there, looking at me oddly.
"I wanted the bed to myself so I pushed her off." Adam said, stretching across the bed and smiling smugly.
I rolled my eyes and watched as Eli walked over to Adam and sat on the edge of the bed. He lifted his hand and pushed Adam off the bed, smirking as he did so. As Adam lay face down on the floor, Eli moved up and spread himself across the bed.
"Not so funny when it's you being pushed off, now is it?" Eli joked.
Adam lifted his head and glared at Eli.
"Eli, he didn't actually push me off the bed." I said, giggling at Adam.
"Oh well." Eli shrugged.
"Alright, I'm out." Adam said, getting up and walking to the door. "Clean the sheet's when you're done." He said, walking out the door.
I rolled my eyes and stayed on the floor after Adam shut the door. Eli looked over at me and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. I laughed and got up, walking over to him. He smirked as I climbed on top of him, resting my head on his chest as my legs rested between his. He wrapped his arms around me as we laid there.
"Adam said you wanted to talk to me?" I spoke first.
"Did he tell you what about?" he asked.
I lifted my head and rested my chin on his chest as we looked at each other.
"No,"
He didn't say anything, he just stared at me. I watched as his eyes analyzed my face, looking intensely at me.
"Before we have this conversation, can I ask one thing?" he whispered, making me a little scared. "Kiss me."
Oh, well then.
"Depends, is this conversation bad or good?" I asked, drawing invisible circles on his chest, over his shirt.
"Depends on how you respond to it." He answered, looking into my eyes.
I blinked and moved my legs so I was straddling him; our faces millimeters away from each other. I leaned in the slightest bit and softly pressed my lips to his for about a second before he pressed his harder to mine. One of his hands reached up and cupped my cheek as the other rested on my waist. I opened my mouth and his tongue darted inside, massaging my tongue with his. I don't know how long we were kissing but I didn't want it to end, yet I wanted to know what Eli had to say.
I pulled away for air, resting my forehead against his.
"Now, start talking." I demanded, causing him to chuckle.
"Well, you know how the long weekend is coming up?" he asked, running his fingertips over my sides. I nodded and he continued, "I'm going out of town… and I was wondering if you would want to come with me."
He was looking down as he asked this. I raised my eyebrows and couldn't stop the smile that appeared on my lips. The idea of being with Eli for the whole weekend made my heart beat faster.
"Where would we go?" I asked.
He looked up, probably shocked that I even considered it.
"Uh, well, uh… that part is a surprise, if you say yes that is." He stuttered.
His eyes went back and forth into my own, waiting for an answer. I really wanted to know where he was planning on going, but I guess a surprise would be fun. I can't believe I was worried about this. Adam made it sound like it was something important, like something was wrong. I made a mental note to smack him next time I see him.
I cracked a smile and nodded, leaning closer to him. "Yes," I whispered against his lips.
His face immediately lit up as he crashed his lips to mine, flipping us over faster than I could blink. I tore my lips from his as I laughed; Eli chuckled as he nuzzled his head into my neck.
"You seem happy," I laughed.
He lifted his head and stared into my eyes, causing my laughter to subside. He moved some hair from my face, tucking it behind my ear.
"I really like you, Clare, more than I planned, and it's a weird feeling." Eli explained, making my heart beat faster. Why did this make me so happy?
I watched as Eli raised an eyebrow as he placed his hand over my heart.
"I like you, too." I breathed, leaning up and crashing my lips to his.
…
Later
…
"So let me get this straight, you said you had no plans, and then you said you had plans with Adam, and now you say you're going out of town?" Alli asked. "Make up your mind woman!"
Alli and I were walking around town, coffee in hand as we talked about the weekend. I accidently mentioned that I was going out of town. I didn't mention that it was with Eli; that would be the only good thing. But I still have to lie to my best friend.
"Adam and I do have plans. We are going out of town… to do those plans." I lied, mentally smacking myself for not making it sound convincing.
"And what might be these plans?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Uh… we were just going to go drive around, see where it takes us. You know, like a road trip." I said, sipping my coffee.
Alli eyed me, not completely believing what I just said, but she left it alone anyways.
I then thought of something, so I pulled my phone out and sent a quick text.
How exactly are we supposed to leave together without being seen? -Clare
"Who you texting?" Alli asked, trying to look at my phone but I put it away before she could see anything.
"Adam; just making sure everything's in order for the trip." I said, feeling guilty that I was lying to her.
She nodded and my phone vibrated.
Would you mind me picking you up from the park across town? -Eli
I mentally cursed at this.
The things I do for you… -Clare
Alli and I began to talk about anything and everything. We talked about gossip that happened to always be going around. I loved hanging out with Alli; she always kept the conversation alive. I don't even know what we were laughing about but it must've been funny because I was almost crying.
I wiped my eyes and looked at my phone when it vibrated and read the text I received.
Trust me, it will be worth it. –Eli
Yeah, sorry this is so short. But it's just a filler.. I guess. It's leading up to when they leave town. Anyways… hope you liked it :)
Review please! :)
