CLARE'S P.O.V.

By the time I got home, it was dinner. And after dinner, it was family-Jeopardy time, something that regardless of our current situations, with my parents' marriage falling apart, and Darcy gone, we still did, every Tuesday. And after Jeopardy, I had a boat load of homework I had to complete, along with the extra work I was supposed to do for our churches youth assembly. So after all this, it was 9:15, and I lied down in bed, glad to finally get a second to breathe, and to process everything that had happened today.

Had Eli said I was better the Julia? I don't exactly know what that means, even if he had said it. But I was elated, none the less. And that kiss had obviously meant something too. Regardless of the fact that me and Eli were a couple, that kiss had meant something more, something deeper. But, I sighed- I was known for being overdramatic when it came to situations such as these. And without the help of Alli, who always helped me decode dramas such as these, I was at a complete and utter loss.

So, I signed on to chat, hoping that Alli would be on. But to no surprise, she wasn't- either out with Drew, or grounded. Either one was a completely safe bet. But, there was one name that did strike me as odd, as I hadn't seen him on in a while. Actually- I hadn't seen him around in a while at all.

Footballman14 : Clare? Can we talk?

KC.

I was at a loss for words. I hadn't spoken to him since we cheated together on the math final, and he, surprisingly had fessed up. And now, the whole drama with Jenna being pregnant, and him completely leaving, surprised me. But I was interested in seeing what he had to say to me, especially after all of our personal history, and all of this time.

ClareE55 : Um, sure KC.

Footballman14 : Nice. I just… hadn't talked to you in a really long time, that's all.

ClareE55 : Well, that's cool. So- how's life been?

Footballman14 : It was going well… But now… Now I'm a mess.

ClareE55 : Well, I'm sorry. I heard about Jenna, and your mom and all.

Footballman14 : Yeah, well my mom's good. But… Jenna? That's a whole other story.

ClareE55 : A story you're not likely to know much about, since you pretty much bailed out on her.

Okay, I was getting slightly annoyed. KC had a tendency to walk out on people sometimes, and I knew it from personal experience. But to walk out of someone that was pregnant? Now, that was just low.

Footballman14 : Yeah, well I know I'm a dick.

Whoa- not typical KC behavior! I was counting on him snapping at me, saying I simply didn't know anything. I planned to retort when I saw him typing-

Footballman14 : But, me and Jenna were ending anyways. And besides- I probably would have broken up with her, even if she didn't get pregnant.

I was about to point out that he had gotten her pregnant in the first place, but decided against it, and went for something a tad more neutral-

ClareE55 : Oh? Why?

Footballman14 : Cause I still have feelings for you. And I'd do anything to get you back.

WHAT? KC? Feelings? FOR ME?

My mind instantly flashed to Eli. Of course I still didn't have feelings for KC. He was a jerk, and a complete and udder, well- frankly, he wasn't a good person. And KC was obviously delusional if he thought that he could get me back. Besides, I thought- only a tad bit smugly, I had a boyfriend.

ClareE55 : KC- I have a boyfriend.

Footballman14 : I know. That goth-guy, right?

ClareE55 : Actually, his name's Eli.

Footballman14 : Well, I meant what I said Clare. I'd do anything to get you back.

ClareE55 : Well, that's nice KC, but I have a boyfriend.

Footballman14 : And I mean anything.
