Snowballs Chance in Hell

Ch.7: Family Feud

Elliot's Pov

I sat on the couch looking at Eli. I knew what he was about to say "blah blah, stay away from Clare, blah blah." Man he has become so whiney. I guess all that emo music has gone straight to his head. I sat there for a few more minutes pretending to listen to whatever he was saying. Of course I really didn't care what he was barking about, I had made up my mind; I was going to steal Clare away from Eli if it was the last thing I do. I realized it's kind of evil to steal your twin brothers so called "girlfriend" but like that one dude said "alls fair in love and war".

"Your not even listening to me are you!" Eli asked

"Nope" I said with a smirk as I got up and grabbed my coat.

"Where are you going, I'm not done saying what I have to say" Eli protested

"Um...yes you are" I shouted as I headed up the stairs and out the front door.

I really didn't know where I was going especially since I wasn't used to this neighborhood so I just kept walking straight. I knew that walking out on Eli's little speech pissed him off and knowing that made me smile. I rounded the corner and saw The Dot. I remembered it from last night. I decided to grab a cup of Joe and see what pans out from sitting there for a while. As I approached the front door I noticed Clare sitting there alone with her head in a book. This is going to be too easy I thought to myself. I walked in and swiped the book from here hands.

"Hey" she shouted

"Hey yourself" I said with a smirk

"Elliot?" she stated but it came out as more of a question. I nodded. "Can I have my book back" she asked sounding a little irritated. I handed it back.

"Thank you" she huffed.

. I took a seat across from her and watched as she read. I could tell she was getting annoyed by it because she kept peering up at me from her book.

"Are you here to meet someone?" she asked not looking up from her book this time.

"No just you" I replied coolly

"Oh, did we have plans? I must have forgot" she said blushing

"Well you can make it up to me" I stated

She raised her eyebrows "how" she replied nervously.

"Let me buy you a cup of coffee" I said as I signaled for the server to come to our table.

"Yes?" the blonde server asked as he approached the table

"Two cups of coffee…pronto" I said. The waiter rolled his eyes at me as he turned around.

"Thanks Peter" Clare shouted toward the server.

"So" Clare said to me "I'm actually glad you're here there is something I need to talk to you about" she stated

"Ok shoot" I stated.

"Well um…" she began.

"Here are your two cups of pronto coffee" Pete or Paul or whatever his name was said as he set the two cups of Joe in front of us.

"Thanks" Clare said smiling up at him and he gave her a wink as he walked off. My blood started boiling.

"Who was that" I asked in a harsh tone.

"Oh that's Peter, my sister's ex boyfriend. Im hoping that once she gets back from Kenya they start dating again, they were so good for each other." She said with a smile.

"Oh" is all I could say.

"So anyways what I wanted to talk to you about. This little sibling rivalry you and Eli have going on has got to stop."

"Well" I began "I will do my part and stop trying to one up Eli on one condition" I said

"And what condition would that be?" she asked

"A kiss" I stated boldly

"You want me to kiss you!" she exclaimed

"Yes, but it has to be in public and in front of Eli" I stated.

"So if I kiss you then you and Eli will stop this madness" She asked

"Yup, one quick simple kiss and you and Eli can go back to being love birds and I wont get in the way. BUT like I said it has to be in public and in front of him so lets say Monday in the school cafeteria." I said with an evil smirk

"Fine" she said getting up and leaving the Dot.

It looked like she was going to cry but I really didn't care. It's not like I cared about her or wanted her to be with me. I just didn't want Eli to have her… if im not allowed being happy then neither is he I thought to myself.

"Monday is going to be quite interesting" I said to myself as I was walking home.

Eli's POV:

I decided that after Elliot walked out on me yesterday that I was going to avoid him at all costs. Tomorrow school would start back up and everything would go back to normal, or at least I hoped it would. I hadn't talked to Clare since yesterday morning either. I called her numerous times to apologize for my outburst but she must have been screening my calls. I attempted to text her but everything I typed sounded cheesy and lame. I decided I would just have to apologize face to face tomorrow at school. I spent the rest of the afternoon finishing up homework that my teachers had assigned over the break. I fell asleep early that night praying that the morning would come fast.

The next morning I was up and dressed earlier then I had ever been. I rushed to Morty without even asking Elliot if he wanted a ride… he can find his own way I thought to myself. Once I reached Degrassi I camped out in front of Clare's locker hoping to see her. I noticed it was five minutes til first period and I hadn't seen Clare yet.

"Dude, have you seen Clare?" I asked Adam as he walked up to me.

"Yeah, she's already in her first period class" he said looking at me with a confused expression on his face.

"I think she's ignoring me" I stated looking at the ground.

"Dude, just give her some space she will eventually come around. Trust me!" he said. I nodded my head and we headed for class.

The day seemed to drag on I had yet to see Clare, I was starting to get bummed out when I realized lunch was my next period and I would defiantly see Clare then. I waited impatiently for the bell to ring, and as soon as it did I was out of the door and down the hall toward the caf.

"Clare" I shouted as I pushed through a sea of bodies to get to her. I was out of breath when I reached her.

"Clare, I need to apologize to you, I was an ass yesterday and it was uncalled for. Can you forgive me?" I asked. She looked like she hadn't slept at all the night before. I also noticed Elliot headed our way with an evil grin plastered to his face.

" I forgive you" she said to me "I hope you can forgive me" she stated as she started to walk toward Elliot.

"Forgive you for what?" I shouted at her. She turned and looked at me, this time she had tears running down her face. I was confused until I saw what came next. She walked up to Elliot and kissed him on the lips in front of the entire school!

Hope you all are enjoying this so far!

Much love Kj
