Tonight, I Love You

Chapter 8

For the Love of Friendship

(Eli POV)

"Eli Baby, let's go to the mall after school." Anya said rubbing her hands through my hair.

It's been three months since Anya had given me her number and asked me out. I decided that our project needed to get done, so I decided to take her up on her offer and go out with her. The way we got together was so unexpected that it even through me off. One minute Clare was the only one on my mind, and now I am with Anya. Anya is fun to be around when it's just us two. She's the attention grabber, the opposite of who I am, but we make it work.

"Anya, I have detention remember, for skipping Science. We can't go tonight." I said closing my locker.

"But baby, Drew's celebration party is tomorrow night. We need to look our best."

"I was just going to wear black. That's not hard to find in my closet." Anya rolled her eyes and started walking away. I stood at my locker, waiting for her to turn back around and come back. I leaned back on my locker when Anya turned around and walked back my way.

"Black isn't the only color Eli." She said slightly turning her nose up.

"Black is the color I prefer; sometimes gray can execute." She started to poke her lips out slightly, and I knew it was time for her to start whining. "If you be ready after my detention . . ."

"Thanks Eli, I will be ready. Just pick me up at home. See you later baby." She kissed my lips slightly and walked out the door.

I shook my head and started down the hallway for detention. I wouldn't be in detention if Anya didn't convince me to skip Science to make out in the Boiler Room. I shook the thought out of my head. I was use to being in detention at my old school for skipping. One week detention for skipping one day wasn't really necessary. Lucky for me, this is my last day.

As I walking down the hallway I noticed Clare walking out of the Library. She looked determined. I started feeling bad for not talking to her much and hanging with Anya all the time, but she had told me she was okay with Adam. As she walked out her book bag had fallen and all her papers fell out of her bag. She started mumbling under her breath. I smiled at the sight. I walked over to give her a hand.

"You know its okay to zip the book bag so your stuff won't fall out." I laughed, bending down to help her. She looked up as if I startled her, then her facial expression changed. That's weird.

"I got it Eli" She said picking up the papers more quickly now. I stood up with some of her papers in my hand. She stood up and looked at me. I noticed she had a small scar under her right eye.

"What happened to your eye?" I asked reaching up to touch it. She grabbed her papers and quickly walked away. I ran to catch up with her. I still had fifteen minutes before detention officially started so I was okay. I ran out in front of her. "Clare what's wrong?"

"Nothing you need to worry yourself over." She tried to walk around me, but I blocked her way.

"We are still friends Clare."

"Are we Eli, are we really friends?"

"Yes Clare we are."

"Well some friend you have been."

"What does that mean?" She gave me an incredulous look.

"Eli, I have to leave." She tried to walk around me again but I wasn't giving up.

"Clare, come on, don't be like this"

"Don't be like what Eli?"

"Don't ignore me."

"Don't ignore you? Are you serious right now, or am I being pranked?" She looked around to see if anyone in the hallway.

"Clare, no one else is in the hallway. Now tell me what happened." She folded her arms.

"Nothing"

"Are you okay, is everything okay at home?"

"Yes"

"How did you get the scar?"

"No reason"

My frustration was rising. Clare was being unfair. I thought we were still friends.

"Clare, why won't you talk to me? I'm trying to be a good friend to you and all you are not helping." Clare started laughing as if what I said was a joke. Then her face became serious, so serious it was frightening.

"You are the last person on earth I would consider a good friend. When I needed you to be there for me you blew me off every time. So why would you want to be here for me now? This act you are trying to pull is not fooling me. You might got Adam fooled, but I'm a lot harder. You only talk to Adam when you need something, or you are bored because Anya has better things to do!"

"That's not true, Clare, and you know it."

"I know what Eli? You know it's true. When Anya is not using you to get what she wants, she dumps you on Adam. And Adam, being the great friend he is, still has your back."

"I do things for Anya because I really like her" Clare rolled her eyes, "and besides Adam understands that I have a girlfriend now. So why are you worried about it?"

"Oh Elijah, don't flatter yourself. I have bigger worries than you and your girlfriend."

"Is that it Clare? Are you jealous?" Clare laughed again. She was really making my blood boil.

"Jealous?" She said catching her breath. Then suddenly the laughing stopped. "Why would I be jealous over that joke of a relationship?"

"Says someone who can't keep a boyfriend" Clare's face dropped. I didn't mean to say that but she had made me mad. Right then I finally saw the hurt in her eyes she's been holding back. She collected her face, and the expression was emotionless.

"Clare" I started to apologize but she held her hand up.

"You know what Elijah. I hope you and Anya are happy with each other. She is a wannabe and you are an asshole." I stood there with a stupid look on my face.

Just as I was about to respond I hear Adam's name calling for Clare. She looks around me to see Adam walking into sight. He looked at me, then back at Clare. His face became curious.

"Are you okay Clare?" She looked back at me. Then back at him.

"Yeah I was just handling a problem, but problem solved."

"Are you ready to go?" He looked back at me confused this time. Why haven't he said anything to me yet.

"Yeah, I've been ready." She walked past me, and turned around. "I hope she loves you." She said before walking off. She walked u to Adam and slightly nudged him to start walking. He looked back at me before walking off behind Clare. I just stood there in the hallway with a foolish look on my face. 'What just happened?'

As I walked into detention my mind was on Clare. All I could think about was what she meant by 'when I needed you, you blew me off'.

I sat down at in a desk, still searching. Then it hit me. We don't talk in English, we don't IM on Skype, and we haven't hung out since Anya came along. Of course she's mad at me. I blew her off.

Clare walked up to me in the cafeteria, where I was waiting for Anya and her friends to come out of the bathroom. She tapped my shoulder. I turned around to see what she wanted.

"Eli, why didn't you answer the phone last night?"

"I was busy with Anya."

"You could've answered and told me that."

"Anya kept me busy." I said with a smirk.

"Gross Eli" She didn't understand.

"Is that it Clare."

"You don't even want to know what I needed."

"Sure, what was it." I said looking at the door getting impatient.

"I needed a ride home from visiting Darcy because it started raining, and I was getting soaked. So I ran inside the DOT to call you from my cell, but instead I ran into the Black Veil Brides who were in Canada on tour, how cool and they were eating and drinking coffee"

"That's good Clare but Anya and Holly J is back and this is sort of their table"

"Oh well can I at least finished?"

"No you can't nerd." Anya said sitting next to me.

"Anya"

"Sorry baby" She said kissing me aggressively on my lips in front of Clare.

"Okay detention is over early today you can go home." Simpson said standing up from his desk.

I got up and walked outside to Morty. I unlocked the door and got in. I can't believe I blew Clare off like that, and that wasn't the first time. It couldn't have been because that was the last day she talked to me.

My mind wondered back three months ago, two weeks after Anya and I started dating. The last time Clare and I was sitting in Morty.

"You have a girlfriend Eli, you are gonna forget about Adam and I now."

"No I won't Clare."

"Sure you won't"

"Trust me Clare I won't blow you and Adam off for some girl." I gave her a real smile.

"Okay Eli, I believe you."
