A/N: Mmmk, guys. Here's chapter 3! Please enjoy!

I stepped into Media Immersion and took my usual seat next to Alli.

"Hi, Alli." I said, while logging onto my computer. I tried to not sound like anything had just happened between me and Drew, but my voice rose about two octaves.

She didn't respond, and that was expected. I sighed, but continued speaking, "Listen, Alli. I know I have a lot of explaining to do but-"

She interjected me, "Clare." She took a breathe at my name. "Why are you with him?" She sounded calm, completely serene.

I stared at the computer screen in front of me, using it as my excuse for not replying. I began typing random words, scattering my brain for the right words.

"Well, after the situation with you and him, he started coming to me for advice." I spoke slowly, and shrugged my shoulders. "It just kinda….happened."

I stole a glance at Alli trying to read her expression. She was mindlessly looking at her computer, pretending to be absorbed into her work. Alli seemed normal on the outside, but you could only guess to what she was thinking on the inside.

"You realize what you've gotten yourself into, right?" She asked, a little more infuriated then before. She talked to me like I was becoming insane.

I turned to face her, only to see her facing the other way, not meeting my gaze.

"Alli, please." I pleaded, "We like each other. There's nothing you can do to stop it." I told her, with the same emotion she used. I don't know what I have to be mad about, though.

She huffed, "Why would you do this to me?" I opened my mouth to respond, but she beat me to the punch. "It's not something friends usually do." That stung a little, but I didn't let it break my composure.

"Alli, stop it. Now you're just acting childish." I told, annoyed and frustrated.

She scoffed, un-amused by my previous comment. She turned to face me, and crossed her arms around her chest. "What if you saw me and Eli sucking faces in the hall?" She stared me down, making me flinch.

I hesitated before answering, "Well," I swallowed. "That's different."
"How?" She asked hysterically. Her brows furrowed, and I knew she wasn't pleased with me.

I didn't respond. I tried challenging her in a staring contest, but her eyes pierced me. I couldn't hold my own, and looked away, defeated.

I heard her give a menacing giggle, "That's what I thought." She told me victoriously, as the bell rang. We both turned toward the front of the class, waiting for our instructions from Mrs. Oh.

Even though our conversation ended, I knew Alli well enough to know she was still thinking. Alli isn't one to settle over something like this, she needs, craves, revenge. I played the conversation over in my head, trying to decide if I should give her space, or if I was forgiven.

That's when it clicked.

Alli was going to use Eli to get back at me.

I could already hear the gears in her head turning. I still had to think positive, though. Maybe Alli would just turn the other cheek.

I hardly doubt that.

The final bell rang, and I waited by Drew's locker to inform him on me and Alli's confrontation. I was deep in thought when a finger tapped on my shoulder. I turned around to see two beautiful blue eyes staring at me.

"Hi, Drew." I said faintly, almost nervously.

"Do I even want to know?" He asked, referring the Media Immersion, and the look on my face.

"Well, I told her." I paused, trying to decide what to say, "And it went."

He raised his eyebrows, deciphering my words.

"Does that mean she's okay with it?" He questioned.

"I'm not exactly sure. But I am sure she's going to use Eli to get back at me." I looked down, and looked back up at him, afraid of his answer.

He smiled, and shook his head laughing.

"What?" I became a little annoyed.

"Well, that means she's jealous!" He yelled, happily. He raised his hand for a high-five. I rested most of my weight on one leg, and crossed my arms.

His expression fell, along with his hand.

"That's good, Clare." He paused, reading my facial expression. "Right?"

I sighed, this boy was making me sea-sick.

"No, she's going to use Eli, Drew. I actually like him." I spoke sarcastically.

"Oh." Is all he could say.

He turned to his locker, and twisted in his combination. He took books in and out of his locker while I waited patiently.

He slammed his locker shut, and held out his hand.

We intertwined our fingers, and began strolling down the hall.

I saw Eli and Alli talking to each other at the opposite end. Eli shot a glance at me, indicating they were speaking about me.

I sighed, and tried to pretend I didn't notice.

"We'll just have to fight fire with fire." Drew whispered in my ear. I peered up at him, and a smirk lay upon his face.

A/N: Okay, I haven't been getting a lot of reviews. But, I do get a lot of the 'Story Alert' subscription, so I think my story is still good.

Review?
