Hey guys,

So my story has been very intense lately,

So here is a comic relief for you guys.

I hope it makes you laugh.

Thanks Alexa for helping me try and find a good idea for this chapter. Oh, and Dani for helping me get an idea too. You guys are awesome! XD

Well here you go.


Clare's POV

I stopped cutting myself but the scares were still there. I decided that I just needed to shake these few things off and enjoy the rest of my sophomore year while I can, and deal with reality later.

I prance over to Adam who is standing at his locker putting away his books. "Good morning, Adam." I say sounding a bit too happy.

He gives me a weird look. "It's a good morning?" Adam says. "Since when have you been so sunshine and rainbows?" He asks me and then shuts his locker.

I shrug. "I've just been in a good mood today." I say. "Also, I'm avoiding the intense stuff today."

He nods. "Good." He says and then we both slide down the locker and sit against them while we have about ten minutes until class starts. "So are you talking to Eli?" I give him a look. "What?" He asks.

"You had to bring up Eli?" I say. I look up and notice Eli walking this way. Speak of the devil. "Listen, why don't you come with me to my locker?"

"Uh," Adam starts. I stand up, grab his arm. "Ok." He says as if he had no other choice.

"Adam!" We hear behind us.

Adam turns around "Oh," He starts. "There's Eli."

He starts to walk towards Eli until I grab the back of his collar and pull him back. "No," I say trying to basically 'claim' him. "I thought you were coming with me to my locker." He stops and it looks like he's thinking.

"Adam!" Eli says again. "Get your ass over here!"

"No!" I yell at him myself. "C'mon Adam." I say and start to pull him my way.

Eli walks this way and whispers something to Adam. I cross my arms and stand there waiting for them to stop. As Eli whispers, he makes glances towards me. Adam looks at me and shrugs. "Sorry Clare," He says.

"That's not fair!" I yell at Adam but directing to Eli. "You were coming with me first."
"Uh," Eli starts. "We were friends first."

"Are you guys seriously fighting over me?" Adam yells.

"No!" Eli and I yell in unison.

"There's no fighting because," I say and pull on his arm. "He was coming with me first."

"Dude," Eli says. "Do you want that comic or not?"

"Bribes," I start. "Really, Eli?"
"Really," He says. "Adam lets go."

Adam looks over my shoulder. "Oh, look." He says and points. I turn around and notice Alli. "There's Alli," He says. I look back at him in disbelief.

"What is up with guys and comics?" I ask him. Eli wipes a smug look on his face. I shake my head as Adam and Eli walk away. I hate boys.

"What was that about?" Alli asks me.

"It's just Eli being Eli." I tell her.

"I'm guessing that you told him." She says in a questionable tone.

"Yes," I say. "And he didn't take it well."

She pats my back. "I'm sorry." She says sounding to comfort me.

I shake my head thinking I've had enough. "You know what," I say. "I'm sick of playing his games."

"So what are you going to do?" She asks me.

I started to have the perfect plan. "Now he's going to be playing my games."

"How?"

I look at her and shrug sarcastically. "I don't know."


Eli's POV

I walk into the school library and sit at a table to work on my English assignment. I take out a piece of paper to take notes for it, but I couldn't think of a good thing to write about. I thought of writing about a bad experience, but then that would get personal. I look down at my paper and start to write a few notes down like "Favorite book? Something that has taken my interest?"

I hear someone sit down at the table by me which made me look up out of curiosity.

It was Clare.

She doesn't look up and just looks down at her book. I couldn't help but feel anxious to talk to her.

I try to make noise to get her to notice me like shuffle my papers, tap my pencil and other things of that nature but she still didn't bother to notice me. I mischievously move my chair a bit closer so she would at least try to notice that I'm there. No surprise here; she didn't move…Of course.

Why am I wasting my time? I broke up with her.

I shake my head and look back down at my paper and start to think of more notes.

"Oh," I hear someone whisper by me without even missing a beat. "Hi, Eli." Clare says and then looks back down at her paper.

She would do that…

I look up at her and see her face buried in her book. I roll my eyes and look back down at my notes.

Clare's POV

I giggle quietly in my book. This plan might actually work. I sneak a look at Eli who looked incredibly pissed off, and I noticed my face began to look incredibly smug.

I burry my face back into my book and not pay attention to anything around me.


I stalk down to my locker and swing open the door of it and set my book in it. Down the hallway, I saw Eli open his locker too. I started to feel bad about doing this to Eli, but I couldn't just go over there and apologize for being pregnant because I've already apologized, and I didn't want to do it again.

I shut my locker and turn around while Fitz trudges down the hall with his posse behind him. Ah, timing. You never fail me.

"Uh," I say quickly. "Fitz!" I yell down the hall. He turns his head and I signal for him to come to me.

Just then I saw Eli's head perk up and shoot his eyes to me as Fitz walks towards me. "What do you need, Edwards?" Fitz asks me.

I smile nervously and keep glancing back at Eli who was examining what was going on around here. "I just wanted to say hi," I start. My perfect plan was about to be put into action as my voice turns a bit more seductive. "How are you, Fitzy?" I ask him and twirl his pull string on his sweatshirt in my small index finger.

He smirked that reminded me of Eli, but Eli's was a whole lot more charming. Speaking of Eli, I had the thought to glance at him, so I did, and he did not look happy.

"What's this about Edwards?" He asks me with a grin on his face.

I scuff. "What?" I ask him sarcastically. "Not happy to see me?" My finger slides out of the twirled string in my hand and up to his shoulder, and then down his muscled arm.

"Do I recall yesterday you hated me?"

I laughed flirtatiously at his remark and glance back over to Eli who was whispering something to Adam. He's supposed to be paying attention. My smile faded and so did Fitz's. I quickly smack the smile back on my face before seeing Adam walking over to me.

He grabs my arm and pulls on it. "Clare," Adam says. "Come with me?"

"Not now Adam," I snap through my teeth.

His grip grabs a hold of me and pulls me away from Fitz. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He asks me coldly.

I look at him sarcastically. "Whatever do you mean?"

He rolls his eyes. "You don't really like Fitz do you?"

I laugh. "No, stupid!" I yell at him.

He looks at me questionably. "Sarcasm?"

"No!"

"Then why were you flirting with him!" He yells.

I pat him on the shoulder and laugh. "Sometimes I question you, Adam." I tell him and then walk a different way to class: The way where Eli was standing which was no where near my class. I walk down the hall and he stands there with disbelief in his eyes. I walk past him and lift up my hand and twiddle my fingers back and forth in a wave gesture and then walk by him while he stands there looking either pissed, or just not believing what he saw.

I was incredibly satisfied.
