Hey! I wasn't supposed to be updating until next week. But, here I am today!

In this chapter, Clare's past comes back in to the picture.

Eli's POV

"I don't stalk. I lure." She declared. The way words rolled off her tongue and how her lips moved with every syllable drove me insane.

"Damn. That girl has balls." Adam told me while gazing at Clare. There's something about her that's a mystery. Her mouth says one thing, but her eyes say another. It's like her mind is there but her heart is somewhere else. I started following her down the hallway. I needed to talk to her.

"Clare!" I called while catching up to her.

"Eli! Why are you following me?" She asked.

"Um- it's just that, uh, Y-You're just—so, so alluring." I babbled while she rolled her eyes.

"I could say the same. Now, isn't your class that way?" She said icily.

"Yeah, but—uhm," I came to her with nothing to say. I don't understand why I went to her, but I needed to find out what attracted me to her.

"I want to know you, Clare." I blurted. She stared at me speechless.

"I have to go." She whispered as she fought back any emotion. I left to my classes. The look in her eyes as I told her that I wanted to know her was indescribable. I spent Math, Chemistry, and World Civics thinking about that look. It was different than the first day we met, different when she smiled at me in class. This was the girl I wanted to uncover.

Clare's POV

He wants to know me. Me. I don't even think I know myself. I went home to an empty home. I find a note on the kitchen counter.

Hey, sweetie. I'm out for groceries. This was left in the mail for you. Don't have too much fun while I'm gone!

-Mom

Next to the note was an envelope. In fancy calligraphy read-

To the Edwards Family

137 Degrassi Street

Toronto, Canada

Inside the envelope was an invitation. The paper was embroidered with pink flowers. As I ran my fingers down the invite and began to read tears ran down my cheeks.

I get that sharp pain in my stomach that reminds me that I'm the reason she died.

Oh I love doing that. I'm really getting the hang of this cliffhanger thing! Don't you just hate me right now? Until next time my friends!
