WARNING: food stuffing Jenna, baggy jackets, accused cheating && someone says "I love you!" O.O
Chapter Sixteen: Twisted Words (Clare's POV)
It was starting to feel warmer in the air. I couldn't believe it was already March. Eli and I have been dating for three months. Jenna's eight months pregnant and looking bigger everyday.. And eating Eli's food everyday. Fiona had became a regular at our table and was getting along great with all of us, we consider her a close friend, occasionally Holly J and Sav would join, but would be uncomfortable, Holly J would quietly talk to Fiona and Sav could have a short conversation with Eli or Adam. Eli and Adam.. I still couldn't believe that those two had been refusing to talk to one another. Eli would confide to me that he wanted Adam to be his best friend again, but Adam was taking things out of proportion, while Adam had confided in me that Eli was being a jerk, but missed him as well. It still boggles my mind and I hate seeing them ignore each other at lunch or English. On the bright side, I could see the chemistry between Adam and Fiona, but I had no clue if Fiona had any feelings for Adam, she was quiet person and only confided in Holly J. Sometimes at the table, I would stare at the empty seat beside me, wishing that Alli was there. I talked to her a couple times a week, as did Jenna. Alli absolutely hated her new private school, they restricted more than Degrassi is. I felt for her, suddenly remembering the Christian school I attended. My mind was pulled from the heavy thoughts when Eli shook me slightly. "Clare? I asked you something? You there?" I snapped my eyes open and stared into his emerald eyes. I nodded my head. "Yeah. What was it?" Eli chuckled and held his Degrassi jacket out. "I was asking if you wanted to wear my jacket. You said you left yours at home and its chilly outside." Eli said. I smiled brightly and nodded, Eli put the jacket on me and it was baggy compared to my smaller one at home. I wrapped my arms around myself. "Thanks Eli. That's sweet." I said. Eli smirked, the longing to kiss his lips was growing fiercer. Eli smiled down at me and kissed his fingertips and pressed his rough fingers to my lips. "That's got to satisfy you." Eli said. I smiled and we walked into the lunch room, after grabbing our trays and getting our food, we sat with Fiona, Adam and Jenna. "Eli can I-" Jenna began to ask, Eli had already tore half the pizza off and gave it to Jenna. Jenna grinned. "Thanks Eli." Fiona and Adam seemed to be deep into conversation. I smiled. I was happy that Adam could find someone to date.. That's if Fiona likes him. I grabbed Eli's hand under the table like everyday and like everyday he smiles down at me and my heart thuds rapidly in my chest. Our moment was ruined when the sound of clicking heels approached us. I looked behind us to see Bianca standing there. "Aww. Ron Ron. Look at this. Aren't they cute?" Bianca asked the guy behind her with wild curly hair, he nodded his head. I winced, remembering Fitz using the same line on me and Eli at the dance. "What do you want Bianca?" Eli asked annoyed, by this time Fiona and Adam stopped talking and Jenna even stopped eating. "Just wanting to know when your getting another detention soon, it's lonely in there." Bianca said with fake sympathy. I looked at Bianca oddly and then at Eli, Eli's face fell and I pulled my hand away from Eli's. "What are you getting at Bianca?" I scowled. I never liked Bianca, Especially ever since she hooked up with Drew in the boiler room, that broke Alli's heart. Bianca smirked. "Oh Eli? You didn't tell girlfriend how you touched me everyday at detention. You were just all over me. Can't really blame you there.." I gasped and looked at Eli. Bianca smiled. "Have fun guy liner." Bianca whispered in Eli's ear. Hurt, I immediately felt the tears threaten to fall down my face, to rid myself of the embarrassment I stormed out of the lunch room. There was shuffling and mumbles as I left, but at the moment I didn't care. It felt as if my heart had been stabbed a million times by Eli, like he just tore it from my chest and stomped on it with his combat boots. I continued to run down the halls, I heard someone chase after me. "Just go!" I yelled, desperately trying to wipe the falling tears, it was no use since the tears would just return. "Clare! Just stop!" Eli's voice yelled down the halls. I continued to run, until I felt a strong hand on my shoulder that turned me around. "Clare! Calm down! Just listen to me!" Eli pleaded. I shook my head furiously. "Why should I? YOU CHEATED ON ME!" I shouted. Eli cursed, "Dammit Clare! Just hear me out! I did nothing!" I stood still and stared into his beautiful emeralds. "How can I believe that? Drew said the same to Alli! You could be lying to me!" I argued. Eli ran a free hand through his messy hair. "I'm not Drew! I'll never be Drew! I never cheated on you with that tramp." Eli sneered. I sniffled and wiped my tears on the sleeve of Eli's jacket. "You have thirty seconds to tell me what happened." I demanded. "I walked into detention and took the only open seat next to Bianca, Bianca started to flirt with me and I ignored her, that was until she started to feel me up. I told her to back off, which is what she did. See? I didn't cheat on you Clare. I would never." Eli interjected with a gasp. I rubbed the bridge of my nose and sighed. "What makes you think that I'd believe you?" I said, looking into his emeralds yet again. "Because I love you!" Eli shouted. Eli immediately looked at me shocked that he'd say that. My eyes widen and I started to whimper. "Don't lie to me." I sneered and with that I ran into the girl washroom and locked myself into the nearest stall. He couldn't love me. He was just saying that to persuade me to forgive him. He couldn't love me like I love him. The door opened and I heard the clicking heels and munching. "Clare? Clare its' Fiona and Jenna. Are you in here?" Fiona called. I let out a gasp that sounded like a choking sound. Fiona than started to pound on the door. "Clare? Clare open the door. Me and Jenna need to see you." Fiona called. I took a shaky breath and un locked the stall door, staring at Fiona and Jenna's concerned faces. Fiona said nothing as she pulled me into her arms, Jenna threw her food away to gather into the hug. "We're sorry Clare." With that we all broke out into tears about the boys who hurt us emotionally and physically.
Cliffhanger! Well sort of! Bianca De Sousa, told you she would return! Don't worry Eli and Clare aren't broken up, they just had a huge argument which involved Eli yelling he loves Clare O.O Holy crap on toast.. Next chapter up soon!
