Dave's POV

I answered Mr. Garcia's question rather bored. He sighed and went back to his type of board.

I looked across the room where Eli and Clare were kind of holding hands. Drew was obviously ignoring Alli.

I felt my heart spark up and I didn't know who I was mad at.

Maybe I was mad at Alli, for dating so many stupid thick-headed jerks before she finally realizes the one person that wants to give her his whole world?

Or it could be Clare and Eli, for being so attainable to each other and refusing to do anything about it even though they know they're perfect for each other.

Obviously, it could be Drew and Johnny for hurting Alli.

*Flashback*

"I am sick of all boys," Clare had said the very first day to Alli when I walked over to them.

"Oh, so is this a bad time?" I said.

"No, there is always time for Dave," Alli giggled and smiled at me.

"Good,"

Clare slammed her locker door. "Boys suck," she said. "This is why you had cooties when you were younger; it coated your brain with the uncanny ability to break girl's hearts and rolled it in stupidity and injected it with lies…" Clare hissed.

I leaned back in horror as Clare looked at me like she wanted to slap me.

"I'm sorry," I said.

She kicked a pole, growled, and headed for English.

Alli laughed and put an arm around me. "Poor Dave, don't worry, if it was Connor or Wesley, they'd be getting it too."

"Did she get a haircut?"

"Yeah, over the summer, she went on some retreat and got a haircut,"

"Looks good,"

Alli put on her pout face. "Don't I look good, Dave?" She turned in a circle.

I was thinking. 'HELL yes,' but teased her by saying:

"You're okay…"

She smacked my arm and I enjoyed the physical contact, the first one we had since she sorta kissed me at the Dot.

"I thought, I was the hottest girl at school?"

"Oh, you are..."

She bit her lip.

The bell rang. Damn it.

"Got to go, bye Dave," Alli hugged me.

"Bye Bhandari,"

She rolled her eyes and scampered off.

Wesley and Connor came up behind me.

"Dude, you got it bad," Connor informed me, like I already didn't know.

Wesley laughed and patted my shoulder.

I groaned. "Whatever," and kicked the pole.

But it hurt like hell. So I started jumping and Wesley and Connor laugh and in the corner of my eye I see Alli at the end of the hallway smiling and laughing.

*Flashback*

Now Alli wasn't smiling and the 1 thing I try to do most is to get her to be happy. But how do I do that.
