Hey guys! I'm so sorry that I haven't been updating. I started high school like 3 weeks ago ( Yup I'm a freshie!) and my biology teacher has loaded me with homework I'll try to upload and write as often as I can. I'm sorry that last chapter was really short. I just wanted to upload what I had written. No worries this time it's longer. I really hope to have another chapter uploaded today if not then hopefully this weekend. Please review and favorite this story!

P.S. I'm thinking of writing a new story. Any ideas?

Finding A New You

Chapter Three

Elli went outside sitting down at table by a tree. He tried to think of something besides Claire but he couldn't all that came to his mind was her. "All I have is English and P.E. next I can afford to ditch today" he muttered to himself. He really didn't want to miss English considering Claire was in that class but he needed to get away and just breathe. Claire was making him go crazy. He grabbed his backpack as he left the school.

Claire noticed Elli was gone and wasn't at the table anymore. Maybe he went to the bathroom or something Claire thought. Claire became worried and disappointed when he didn't show up to English. She was sad he wasn't there she loved when they talked.

Finally the school day was over and Claire headed to the football field with the rest of the Varsity cheerleaders. Claire put on her best smile as she glanced over to the stands in hopes of seeing Elli. "Where is he? He promised he would come" She thought.

Just as the game was about to start there he was just arriving. She shook her head of course he would come at last minute just to get her worried and to mess with her.

"F-I-G-H-T! FIGHT FOR VICTORY!" Claire chanted with the rest of the cheerleaders. Elli gave her a smile and Claire grinned huge. "You like him." Manny one of the cheerleaders said. Claire blushed, "No I don't." Manny gave her a look "Well if you don't like him he likes you. I can see it by the way you two look at each other." She said. Claire looked back to Elli smiling.

"Annddd touchdown! Apollo High wins!" the announcer shouted through out the stadium. The band played the victory song as the cheerleaders did flips and cartwheels. "Woo!" Claire yelled as she threw her pom poms in the air.

As the football players were leaving to the locker rooms one named Johnny stopped at Claire. He took off his helmet turning his head to get his hair out of his face. "Hi" he said. Claire smiled as he ran off the field.

Sure Johnny was cute but Claire liked Elli. She looked up to him one last time. "Let's go Claire. Are you coming?" Manny asked her. "Yea sure let's go" she said running to catch up to her.

Elli watched as Claire ran off with the other cheerleaders. The whole game he had been watching her and he had become a little jealous when that stupid football player talked to her.

He didn't know what he said to Claire but she smiled at him. He sighed as he got up and walked towards the entrance of the school. If Claire wanted to be with that guy then he would have to let her. That guy looked like exactly what Claire should be with. He was attractive, popular and a football player. It would make more sense for Claire to date him then to be with him.

He waited a good 20 minutes before he saw he come out. "Hey" he said. She looked up at him "hey so what do you say we got eat? I'm starving" she laughs as she takes his hand. He looks down at their hands smiling. "Uh sorry." She mumbled embarrassed pulling her hand away. "It's ok" he said.

He stared at her admiring her beauty. Her nose was slightly crooked but it was cute. Her lips were perfect. He imagined how it would it feel to actually kiss her. He imagined her lips would be soft and tender.

They had been talking and laughing while eating when Claire decided it was time to tell him. They had known each other for a month it was only fair. "So I need to tell you something" she said.

"Shoot" he said taking a sip of his water.

She bit her lip nervously. "My dad is the principal of the school."

He choked on his water coughing. Did he hear correctly that the girl he likes her father is the principal? The same principal who is never pleased to see him in his office.

"Your dad. Principal?" he asked.

She nodded. "Yup."

"Then how come you went to Greenland last year. Wouldn't been easier to have you come to Apollo last year." He said.

"Well my parents are divorced. So my mom lives over by Greenland and all my friends go there. So last year I lived with my mom but this year they both decided for me to live with my dad and so I had to come to Apollo for some reasons" She stated.

"And the reasons are?" he said wanting her to continue.

"Long story." She said.

He sat there crossing his arms. "I've got time."

She smiled. "Ok well my dad walked in on my boyfriend and me making out in my room with my boyfriend's shirt off. And then I got detention for refusing to dress out for P.E. because they messed up my schedule because I was supposed to have cheerleading but it was fixed. Then I snuck out like a million times. Next I missed curfew by a couple of hours. Oh and my dad had to go on a search to find me because I snuck out to go to a party and he dragged me home. Then I got into a fight with a girl at a football game." She said.

"Damn" he said.

"So that's how I ended up here at Apollo" she said.

"Well I think your dad and I have already grown to know each other really well." He joked.

"Oh really how" she asked.

"I visit him pretty much every week. He loves our conversations" he said wiggling his eyebrows.

She laughed. "Listen I have to ask you something?" she asks.

"What?" he asks.

"Was this a date or something" she asks as she bit her lip.

"Uhh I don't know I mean I like you a lot. I hope this but it's okay if you don't think so um but" he rambled on.

She giggled. "I like you too" she says bumping her knee with his.

He grinned. "So does this mean we're like together?"

She smiled. "If you want to be"

"Then Claire Edwards seems you have yourself a boyfriend"

"And Mr. Williams you have a girlfriend" she giggled.

She couldn't wait for school tomorrow and she could tell everyone that Elli Williams is hers and she's his.
