Chapter 3 – Not Good Enough for Truth or Cliché
"Open wide."
"Oh come on Clare."
"Come on Eli, just once." Clare whined. Eli sighed, rolled his eyes, and opened his mouth. Clare smiled wide and she placed the plastic white spoon in Eli's mouth and he closed his lips around it; Clare pulled the spoon out and Eli swallowed the strawberry yogurt. Clare licked her lips and she did it again. Eli narrowed his eyes at her. He stated, "You said once." Clare pouted and Eli sighed again. He opened his mouth and Clare fed him the yogurt.
She reached up and wiped the small amount that dribbled down his chin with her finger. Eli grabbed her finger and sucked the yogurt off, watching her adorable face turn pink. Eli smirked and Clare put the small yogurt cup on the picnic table. She leaned her body against the table and said, "So what time are we going to the Mall?" Eli took a sip of his chocolate milk and said, "What time do you want to leave?"
"Well, I say we go early to hang out for a little bit, and then you know… we can see a late showing."
"Are you sure your parents will late you stay out that long?"
"Why wouldn't they?' Clare asked, cocking her head to the side, curiously. Eli glanced up at her and took her hands in his. He said, "Well, you know I don't want your parents getting angry with me for keeping you out so late."
"Well, I guess we'll have to ask this time then." Clare smiled. Eli flashed a genuine smile, a smile that Clare only gets to see, and he leaned forward and kissed her chastely.
They pulled away.
"Are these seats taken?" Clare and Eli looked up to a slightly blushing Adam. Clare said, "Of course not, take a seat." Adam smiled and sat down in front of them. He said, "Thanks. All the other seats are 'taken'." Clare laughed a little nervously and Eli wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to him. Adam awkwardly glanced at the two love-birds giggling and whispering sweet nothings to each other. Adam cleared his throat and the two broke away from their little moment.
"Sorry." They both said in unison.
"It's okay; I sort of expected it to happen." Adam shrugged his shoulders slightly.
"You sort of expected it?" Eli questioned.
"Yeah, this 'odd couple' warned me not to sit next to you guys, something about you guys flirting out in the open." Adam took a sip of his drink and Eli and Clare glanced at each other the n Clare asked, "Who told you this?" Adam pointed to the left and Clare and Eli looked. They frowned.
"Of course they would say that." Eli muttered. Clare nodded in agreement.
.

"I think that weird kid told Clare and Eli what we said." Julia said as she pushed her tray away from her. KC blinked a few times and asked, "Why do you say that?" Julia laughed a little and stated, "Well they kind of just glanced over here, and gave us the rudest look ever." KC turned around and looked back at Clare and Eli, who were too busy talking to Adam. KC turned back to face Julia and asked, "Does it really matter?"
Julia shrugged.
"Let's go inside. I'm done eating."
KC got up and he followed Julia inside the school; he glanced back at Clare and frowned, watching her kiss Eli. He turned around and walked through the doors. KC and Julia sat down against the lockers and she leaned her head on his shoulder, reaching down to lace her fingers with his. She said, "I can't wait for tonight. It's going to be so much fun."
"Yeah." KC muttered.
Julia kissed his cheek, then reached up and turned his face to hers. She kissed him hard, and KC slightly flinched, but soon kissed her back. Julia smiled in the kiss and KC pulled away before it went "too far" Julia frowned and she leaned to him, KC pulled back. She asked, "What the hell is up with you?" KC shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "I don't want to get caught with PDA again." Julia's eyebrow arched.
"Jeez, it never stopped you before." She crossed her arms across her chest and muttered something incoherent under her breath. KC rolled his eyes and he leaned over, cupped her face, and crushed his lips over hers. Julia whimpered and soon kissed him back. KC pulled away and Julia smiled.

"The last class of the day… this class needs to hurry up." Eli muttered, staring at the clock. Clare laughed behind him and whispered in his ear, "We've only been in this classroom for five minutes, and you're already complaining?" Her breath ticked the hairs on the back of his neck and Eli shuddered. He turned around to face her and said, "Well, I'm just so anxious to have you all to myself this afternoon." Clare blushed and she bowed her head, hiding the adorable blush on her face.
Eli smirked and he turned around, facing the front of the classroom. Slowly, the classroom began to fill up, and in walked their newest friend Adam, he sat down next to Clare. She flashed him her cute smile and he smiled in return. Clare turned her attention back to the back of Eli's head. She reached up and traced her fingers through his unbelievably soft hair.
Eli smiled and he gently tilted his head back, wanting to feel her fingers run through his hair. As if she read his mind, Clare's fingers moved through his hair, massaging his scalp. Eli sighed and closed his eyes. Clare smiled and turned her head to the side, resting it on her own shoulder. She smirked mentally, and clenched her fingers in his hair. Eli hissed and turned around after pushing her hand away.
"Don't do that Clare-bear; we wouldn't want an incident to happen like last time." Eli purred causing Clare to bow her head, and place it down on the desk. Eli chuckled and turned back around yet again. Ms. Dawes walked in and she announced, "Today we will be watching a short film, Tale of Two Hearts by Edgar Allen Poe. After we finish the film, I want you to write your own interpretation on it, the paper is due Wednesday."
Ms. Dawes popped the DVD into the DVD player after she pulled the T.V set to the middle of the classroom.
Eli cheered in his mind. He leaned back in his seat and Clare leaned forward. She whispered, "Finally huh?" Eli turned to glance at her and he said, "Of course. Edgar Allen Poe is probably the greatest writer ever. I love all his movies." Clare smiled and responded, "I know Elijah."
She leaned back and the class soon died down in their conversation as the movie started. Clare glanced over at Adam and couldn't help but laugh at how drawn to the T.V screen he was. She turned her attention back to the front, and sighed softly. To try and kill some time, Clare reached and started to play with Eli's hair again. Her fingers massaged his scalp, and she rubbed the back of his neck.
Eli wasn't really ignoring the feeling, but he wasn't paying attention seeing as he was too engrossed into the movie.
Clare tapped her foot on the leg of Eli's desk and she chewed on the inside of her bottom lip. This was going to take forever, seeing as she was a little bit too excited about this afternoon to be trying to pay attention to the mystery genre movie playing.
She pulled her fingers from Eli's hair, and reached into her large bag, pulling out a thick hard cover novel. Clare flipped to her marked page, and started to read her vampire novel. It was only a matter of minutes before the bell had rung. The lights were turned on, and the movie was stopped. The class gathered their things, Eli turned around and pinned his eyebrows together, watching Clare read her novel. She looked around and then up at Eli. She smiled sheepishly and placed her bookmark on the spot.
"Let's get out of here." Eli said.
"Gladly." Clare smiled. She turned to Adam and said, "Don't forget to call me if you have questions about the science assignment." Adam nodded and he waved Eli and Clare off. Eli and Clare walked out of the classroom, and headed to their lockers. Eli tossed his books inside as did Clare. She turned to him and smiled big.
"Do you want to come over, or are you going to go home and get ready first?" Clare asked, tracing the zipper of Eli's black hoody. Eli said, "Well I don't want to go in these clothes tonight, so I'm going to drop you off so you can get ready, and then I'll go home, get some money for the both of us, take a shower, and all that other stuff." Eli draped his arm over her shoulders as they walked out of the school. Clare nodded.
"Okay."
Eli opened the door for Clare and she climbed into the passenger's side. He closed the door and walked around and climbed into the driver's side of Morty. He turned the ignition on and drove out of the parking lot, heading towards Clare's house. Clare scooted closer to Eli and placed her head on his shoulder, and laced their fingers together. As much as she didn't want this moment to end, it did. Eli pulled up next to Clare's house and she kissed him hard before climbing out of Morty.
Eli waited for her to walk into the door, and he winked at her.
Clare waved him off and entered the house. She ran up the stairs and bolted through the door of her rom. Clare walked to her closet and grabbed her black floral dress that came up a little bit above the knee, her sea foam green cardigan, and her black flats. She placed her clothes on the bed, and made her way to the dresser where she grabbed some underwear and a bra. Clare pealed her clothes off and walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower.
After washing her hair and rinsing the soap off her body, Clare turned the shower off, and stepped out of the bathroom with a towel around her body, and one wrapped in her hair. She sat down in front of her mirror, and applied a small amount of make-up. Clare rimmed her eyes with a soft green eye shadow, then a thin layer of black eyeliner. Clare pulled the towel from her hair, and applied a small amount of strawberry scented gel into her hair, and ruffled her curly hair.
Clare quickly got dressed and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled and for a finishing touch, she applied some lip-gloss and rubbed her lips together, making sure she got enough coated on her lips.
.
.
Eli stumbled out of the shower, a towel wrapped around his waist. He shook the excess water out of his hair and grabbed his black Dead Hand t-shirt and slipped it on. Eli dropped the towel from his waist and slipped on his boxers and black skinny jeans next. Eli grabbed his "Welcome to the Black Parade, My Chemical Romance" styled jacket and slipped it on, then his black boots. Eli walked to this dresser, and took the silver guitar pick necklace and slipped on around his neck.
After checking himself out, making sure he looked sexy and decent, Eli walked out of his room and headed into the kitchen. He checked the time, and realized that he had just enough time to hang out with Clare before the left for the mall. Eli reached on the top of the fridge and grasped the jar full of cash. He grabbed enough to pay for two tickets, snacks, and drinks. Eli placed the jar back on top of the fridge and placed the cash into his wallet.
Eli grabbed his car keys and headed to the front door. When he opened the door, Eli practically stumbled back.
"Eli, can we talk?"
"Julia what the hell are you doing here?"
"We have to talk, please." Julia said. Eli shook his head, stepped out and locked the door. He walked around her and headed to Morty. Julia chased after him and stood in front of the door on the driver's side. She glared at him and said, "I won't let you leave until you hear me out." Eli frowned and rolled his eyes, he rubbed his temples in frustration.
"I don't have time for this Julia." Eli stated honestly. Julia bowed her head and moved away from the car. Eli opened the door and climbed inside. He turned the ignition on and glanced over at Julia, watching the fake tears stream down her face. He looked back and pulled out of the driveway. Eli shifted the gear to drive, and headed to Clare's house.
On the front steps, Clare stood, walking back and forth. She glanced up and smiled when Eli pulled up. He stepped out and walked to her. Clare walked to him and stood in front of him.
Eli wrapped his arms around her waist and she said, "My parents want us to wait for them until we go, so we have the house to ourselves for a little while." Clare drew fake hearts on Eli's chest with the tip of her finger. Eli smirked and whispered huskily, "I know where this is going."
He took her hand and led her inside the house. Clare smiled softly and she shut the door behind them once they were inside. Eli grabbed Clare's hips and he leaned down, placing his lips over hers. Clare reached up and gently wrapped her tiny hands around his neck, one moved through his hair, threading it between her fingers. Eli's tongue moved across her bottom lip, demanding entry to her mouth.
Clare's lips parted and she whimpered softly feeling his tongue thrust quickly into her mouth. Eli moved his hands to the small of her back and he pressed himself closer to her. Clare whimpered yet again and she kissed him harder, crushing his lips over hers. Eli moaned and pulled his mouth away, starting deep into her blue eyes.
Eli grabbed her hand and led her to the couch. She plopped down next to him and Eli moved his arm around her shoulders. He dipped down and captured her lips in his, kissing her much more frantic than before. Clare moaned and her hand found its place on the back of his head where she pulled softly on his hair. Eli pulled his lips away from hers, and trailed kisses down her long ivory neck. Clare tilted her head to the side and breathed heavily as Eli's lips worked their magic against her neck. Eli licked up and down the jugular vein before he sucked softly on her skin.
"Eli." Clare whimpered. He open mouth kissed her neck, his hand moved from her thigh, up her waist, over her breast and he cupped her neck. Clare moaned and chewed hard on her bottom lip. Eli pulled his lips away from her neck and dark, dilated blue eyes gazed into his lustful green orbs. A small smile tugged her lips up and she leaned forward and kissed his lips softly.
"Clare! We're home!"
Eli pulled away from her and sat upright, Clare fixed herself. Her mother walked into the living room and asked, "Okay so what is it that you guys are going to be doing?" Helen's question was directed towards Eli.
"Um, we're going to hang out at the mall for a few hours and see a movie afterwards." Eli said, scratching the back of his head.
"Afterwards as in late night?" Helen asked.
"Yes Mrs. Edwards." Eli responded.
"…how late exactly?" Randal asked as he stepped into the living room, placing his keys on the coffee table. Eli shrugged his shoulders and said, "Probably around eleven the latest she'll be home."
An awkward silence befell the room and Randal said, "I want Clare home at eleven-thirty sharp." Eli nodded and he got up, followed by Clare. She waved her parents off and followed Eli out the front door. He said, "We're going to continue what we started later." Clare squeaked when Eli softly slapped her butt. She shoved his shoulder and he laughed. Eli opened the door for her and she stepped in. He walked around, climbed into the driver's side, turned the ignition on and drove towards the mall.
"Crap, I forgot my money." Clare muttered. Eli glanced over at her, taking his eyes off the road for a few seconds. He said, "Clare I'm paying for tonight, you have nothing to worry about. I got us covered." Eli grasped her hand and laced their fingers together. Clare smiled and she scooted closer to him. She kissed his cheek and said, "You're amazing you know that?"
"Are you realizing this now?" Eli asked.
"Could you be any smugger?" Clare asked with a small cute laugh.
"Absolutely." Eli responded with his smirk playing at his lips.
.

"What exactly were you doing at Eli's house?" KC asked curiously as he watched Julia apply heavy eyeliner. She looked at him through the mirror, and muttered, "I just wanted to talk to him… I kind of miss him." Julia chewed on her red lip and dropped her pencil eyeliner on the dresser. KC got up and he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He whispered, "You need to forget about him… you have me now." Julia smiled and turned around to face him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss. KC raked his fingers through her long hair and kissed her back. Julia pulled away and said, "We should get going, I want to see the late showing tonight for Let Me In, it will be more exciting that way."
"…why leave early then?" KC asked.
"Well, I want us to hang out first before we go." Julia said, as her fingers twisted his soft hair between her fingers. KC shrugged and nodded. He walked out of Julia's room, followed by her. They exited the house and both climbed into KC's car. He turned the ignition on and drove towards the mall. Julia turned the radio on, and pressed a few buttons, trying to find a decent station to listen to.
KC rolled his eyes and he pressed the CD button, playing mix music of rock, alternative rock, and heavy metal. Julia smiled and she leaned back in her seat. The ride was silent, awkwardly silent. Julia sighed and glanced out the window.
KC leaned his head on his hand and drove with the other. He looked over at Julia, and Clare popped into his head, and he smiled softly, remembering how Clare would turn to him and smile wide. KC turned his attention back to the road. Julia glanced over at her boyfriend and Eli popped into her head. She shook her head and rubbed her eyes.
"Stupid thoughts." She muttered.
.
.
"So, what do you want to do first?" Clare asked. Eli said, "I think we should buy the tickets first, and then you know… we can prance around if you want." Clare laughed and interlaced her arm with Eli's as they made their way to the cinema part of the mall. Eli and Clare walked up to the counter and the lady behind the glass smiled at them.
"Hello." She said.
"Hi um, can I get two tickets to the nine o'clock showing for Let Me In." Eli said as he pulled his wallet out from his back pocket. He handed her a twenty and grabbed the tickets from her and said, "Thank you." She smiled at him and Clare snatched a ticket from his hands. Eli frowned and Clare stuck her tongue out at him. Eli snatched it back and Clare began to protest.
"Hey!" She whined.
"Where are you going to hold it?" Eli asked. Clare closed her mouth and Eli smirked saying, "That's what I thought." He stuffed the tickets into his wallet and Eli and Clare started walking away from the cinema. Clare said, "I think we should go to—
"Victoria's Secret?" Eli smirked.
Clare lifted an eyebrow and Eli shifted his eyes to the store next to them. Clare sighed and she walked inside and Eli trailed behind her. Clare gasped and said sarcastically, "You're the first guy to ever come into this store without hesitation." Eli arched his eyebrow and said, "Why would I be the first? This is guy heaven."
Clare rolled her eyes and walked around the hot pink lighted store. Eli would occasionally show her a cute lingerie set, which caused Clare to blush, knowing all too well what Eli was thinking. Eli walked to Clare and pulled her into an embrace. She blushed and said, "E-Eli, not here." He nuzzled her neck and said, "Let's go in the dressing room then."
"O-or, we can just… you know go do s-something else." Clare stammered. Eli moved his lips to her ear and whispered, "Or we can go into the dressing room." He sucked tenderly on her earlobe and was rewarded with a small gasp. Eli pulled away and Clare surprised him by sneaking him into the lady's dressing room. She locked them inside the largest one. Eli softly pushed her up against the wall, and crushed his lips over hers.
Clare moaned softly in her throat and opened her mouth, inviting Eli's tongue inside to play. Eli accepted the invitation and thrust his tongue passed her lips. As their kiss continued, Eli's hands started to wander. Clare felt her heart race behind her chest as he softly grabbed her bottom through the skirt of her dress. Eli pressed his hips against hers.
Clare gasped and tore her mouth away from his. Eli leaned down and licked her neck, then her jawline. Clare breathed heavily and clenched her jaw when Eli squeezed and groped her butt while he thrust his hips forward.
Eli heard Clare whimper and she started to shift around. Eli moved his lips to her ear and whispered, "Are you okay? Do you want me to stop?" Clare swallowed hard and she said, "I'm um… kind of hungry." Eli's head fell to her shoulder and he laughed softly. Before Eli pulled away from Clare he gave her the ten second frencher, leaving her breathless. He muttered a "hn" and both snuck out of the dressing room, and bolted out of the store. Clare said, "I want some pizza."
"Okay." Eli responded. Clare walked to take a seat at a table while Eli went to order two slices of pizza. Clare tapped her fingers on the table and glanced up. She did a double take and sighed heavily. Clare walked to take a seat at a table while Eli went to order two slices of pizza. Clare tapped her fingers on the table and glanced up. She did a double take and sighed heavily. Clare got up and she walked to Eli, placing her chin on his shoulder as he ordered.
"Hello there." He said.
"Julia and KC are here." Clare whispered. Eli turned around and watched as Julia and KC made their way to Clare and his direction. Eli muttered incoherent words under his breath and bowed his head—
"Hey guys."
"…" Clare and Eli ignored them. KC swallowed hard and he said, "Why are you guys here?" Eli paid the man and grabbed the long tray with the two slices of pizza and the drinks on it. Clare turned and followed Eli to the table. Julia growled and when they sat down she slammed her hands on the table screaming, "Why can't you guys talk to us? We're trying to apologize, trying to show you guys that we're sorry!" Eli opened his mouth to speak, but Clare beat him to it.
She got and shouted, "You guys are sorry! What nerve do you have to even pull that shit with us! You're not sorry! You're just jealous that I have the man that you lost because of your stupid slut actions! So, instead of continuing to embarrass yourself, why don't you just use your fake apology and say to someone who actually cares, because we don't!" Eli, Julia and KC's mouth dropped. Clare flipped her hair and sat down at the table. She grabbed her pizza and took a bite out of it. Julia opened and closed her mouth, trying to figure out if that just happened. She turned around and walked away, KC slowly followed her. Eli glanced at Clare, and she looked up at him.
"What?" She asked.
"Did you just say that?" Eli asked.
"Yeah I did, I felt a little weird because I said the "s" word, but… it felt kind of good, like a lot of stress just fell off my shoulders." Clare took a sip of her soda and Eli laughed. He said, "You are one fascinating girl Blue Eyes."
"And you're one amazing guy Elijah." Clare smiled at him. Eli took her hand in his and said, "Not as amazing as you." He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. Clare smiled and bowed her head.
.
.
"I-I can't believe she said that to me." Julia said for the tenth time. KC sighed, "Julia I get it, Clare just cussed you out. Big deal."
"Big deal? BIG DEAL! KC you didn't even do anything." Julia said, standing up from the ground. KC blinked a few times and asked, "What the hell would you want me to do? Beat her up because she cussed you out?" Julia crossed her arms across her chest and looked away. KC sighed and got up. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was just as shocked as you were."
Julia wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head in his chest.
"God, I really didn't expect that to happen." She murmured.
"Me either…" KC responded. He soon started laughing, and Julia joined in after. After their small little laugh moment, Julia pulled away and said, "I'm going to get her back though… nobody yells at Julia and gets away with it."
KC arched and eyebrow and mentally shrugged it off. He said, "Let's go back inside. I saw you eyeing that black and red lingerie piece at Victoria's Secret."
"Are you going to buy it for me?" Julia traced her finger over KC's chest and flashed a cute smirk (1). KC smiled in return saying, "Depends, do you want it?"
"Of course!" Julia grabbed KC's hand and yanked him to the door of the mall, which automatically opened, and she ran inside with him taking large steps behind her.
End of Chapter 3
