Author's Note: Hey guys! I am so so so sorry for the wait! I'm sure most of you know that summer is over and school has started once again. I've been so busy. I've already had to do 3 large assignments and 2 slideshows for school. Not to mention volleyball and tennis practice. Everything's been so hectic lately and I apologize. I'll definitely TRY to update at least once every two days or so. Please don't be disappointed if I don't! Anyways, I'll stop my ranting and let you read Chapter 2! Enjoy! :) Btw, this whole chapter is in Clare's POV.

I stomped my way into my English class. By the time I was seated I hadn't noticed the green-eyed boy enter the room, taking the seat infront of me. Suddenly, I heard a voice speak.

"Hey, long time no see. Did you miss me?" I shot my head up from looking down at my clenched fists, and was surprised to see Eli staring at me, smirking.

I glared at him then replied with a cold simple, No.

His smile fell, "Whoa, hold up, did I do something wrong?" He asked, worry in his eyes.

"No, you did nothing at all." I said, with the same cold tone in my voice.

"Okay then, I'm just gonna… go." He stood up to walk away but I grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down before he could. He looked at me, confusion written all over his face. I felt bad, I mean it's not his fault he doesn't like me, or that he attracts girls like Jenna.

"I'm sorry; I've been having a bad day. I shouldn't have taken it out on you," Suddenly, an idea popped into my head, "But uh, why don't I make it up to you. You should sit with me at lunch, so we could get to know each other a little bit better…as friends?" Please say yes, please say yes! I chanted in my head.

"Oh, uh…today? I can't. I kind of already promised a girl named Jenna I would sit with her. But if that offer is still available tomorrow I would love too." His voice was sincere, but that didn't matter, I felt stupid and embarrassed. Of course he would rather sit with Jenna. I'm so pathetic.

"Okay…sure." I put on a fake smile, to make him believe I wasn't disappointed, even though on the inside I was dying.

I couldn't focus during any my classes; I was too busy thinking about Eli. So I was glad when the bell rang signaling it was time for lunch. I walked into the cafeteria, looking around. I saw Alli sitting with some tan boy with spiked black hair. I guess I won't be sitting with her today. I thought to myself.

I kept looking around. Then I saw Eli, and just like he said, he was sitting with none other than Jenna Middleton. I could already tell she was flirting with him by the way she was batting her eyelashes and playfully hitting his arm. That should be me, I moped.

I decided to sit by myself at in empty table at the corner of the cafeteria. Tap, tap, tap.

What the—? I turned around.

"K.C.?" I asked, surprised he was the one tapping my shoulder. What did he want?

"Oh, uh hey Clare…can I sit here?" He pointed to the seat across from me.

"Oh um, sure K.C., but if you don't mind me asking, why do you want to sit with me a not your super popular cheerleader girlfriend?" I admit, the way I spoke to him wasn't at all very nice, but what would you except? He did after all cheat on me with my best—I mean ex-bestfriend.

I looked up and saw he wasn't paying attention to me. Instead he was staring at something off in the distance. I followed his gaze. He was staring at Jenna, flirtatiously talking to Eli. No surprise there, I thought.

"I can't," He finally spoke. "She's sitting over there with that goth boy. When I tried talking to her she ignored me and said she would 'catch up with me later.'" I wasn't positive, but it looked like he was hurt. I felt kind of bad. Why am I sitting here all depressed just because I can't sit with a boy I just met today, when K.C.'s the one that can't even sit with his own girlfriend because she's too busy flirting with other guys.

I snapped out of my trance once I noticed I hadn't said anything.

"Oh, I'm sorry K.C." I said, because in all honesty, I was.

"I just wish there was someway to could get back at her, you know? Show her what it feels like to be ignored for someone else." He finally tore his gaze away from Jenna and Eli. When he finally looked at me, an evil grin was spread across his face. Uh-oh, this can't be good.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

"Well Clare I was just wondering… you would do anything for your friends, right?"

"Uh…yeah?" I said cautiously, not sure where this was heading..

"Then please, please, please help me get back at Jenna!" He pleaded, sounding like a five year old.

"K.C., haven't you ever heard the saying 'an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind'?"

"Please Clare, just this once! I'm sorry for everything I did to you in the past. I know I screwed up but before any of that drama happened we were good friends and I want to go back to that. So please, help a friend out?" He started pouting and gave me his best puppy dog eyes. I guess I did miss being K.C.'s friend. How could I say no?

"Fine." I said grumpily.

"Yes!" He jumped up and gave me a big bear-hug, which I awkwardly returned.

"What's the plan?" I asked once his little cheer was over. I swear if he was always that enthusiastic he could be on the power squad.

"You'll see. Just meet me at my locker after school. I have the perfect scheme in mind." I noticed the evil grin back on his face as he started getting up and walking away. Before I knew it, he was gone.
