Author's Note: Good evening. It's 1:49 over hurrr and I'm just starting the next chapter because I may or may not have fallen asleep…(which means I fell asleep). And even though not many people read this yet and I don't think anyone would care, I promised that I'd update again tonight, so yah I am. xD here we go. Pardon if there are any stupid grammar mistakes for I will try my best not to make them. Xoxosteff
p.s. to ilovebadboys1234 – wonderous, then don't read. I understand when someone gives bad reviews like, "ohhai, fix your grammar bud." Or something like that. But just plain, "I don't like it" isn't very nice. But thanks anyway. So I'll edit the summary to say the characters will be OOC. And maybe you should watch the new promo because Clare DOES think Eli is clingy. (lol at my bitchiness) And saying "no offence" does not make it okay.
Clare's POV
I guess you could say I felt pretty terrible after breaking up with Eli. But it had to be done. Even so, it technically was still a "break" and what Fitz and I had was nothing official – yet. I wasn't even sure of my feelings for him.
All I know is that I was sort of sick of Eli, and maybe Fitz was the cure. A break from Eli would show me what I had to do. Which would be get back together with him, or stay with Fitz.
But who knows, maybe Fitz was just playing with my heart? He seemed so sincere, but he's been known for some bad stuff. How can I trust him?
Clare, just stop overanalyzing everything.
I had to let go of my usual "Saint Clare" way of thinking if I was going to solve this problem. I could look at it that way. Just a problem, like on an exam.
Fitz's POV
Clare was finally done with that emo kid. About damn time. She refused to cheat on him, yeah. But when we hang out, I can just tell. She likes me. But why wouldn't she?
I laughed at my own thoughts. Still so cocky, even after learning my lesson. If I really did want to be with Clare, I'd have to tone it down. She didn't go for that shit. So yeah, I kind of was changing just for her. Maybe.
If Owen or Bianca knew, man, they wouldn't stop busting my balls. That's why Clare has to be kept a secret from them. At least for a while. I sent her another text message, to see what was up with her today.
Fitz: Hey. Come over?
Clare: Can't. Family stuff. See you tomorrow at school? (:
I sighed. I'd have to wait a whole day to say those gorgeous auburn locks of hair. Wait, what the hell am I saying?
Fitz: K cool. Can't wait. (:
Clare's POV
Every text message from him made me feel like lightning shot through my body. But not real lightning, because that would hurt, but basically it just made me really happy. Like I used to feel when Eli texted me. Just as this thought ran through my mind, my phone went off yet again. This time, it wasn't from Fitz.
Eli: Hey, babe.
Babe? Really? Did he have no recollection of this morning? I mean, really, it couldn't have happened more than 3 hours ago.
Clare: Uh, hey.
Eli: Woah, Blue Eyes. What's wrong?
Clare: Eli, why are you doing this?
Eli: Doing what?
Eli's POV
Clare didn't seem like herself when we were texting. What could she be referring to? Not this morning. I didn't think she was actually serious.
Clare: Eli, don't pretend like you don't know. We kind of are on a break?
Eli: No, we're not. You were kidding, right?
She had to be kidding. This morning, she was just upset. She didn't understand what she was saying. Why else would she end it between us? There were no signs of her wanting to break up until this morning, so I took it as just a fight.
Clare: Eli, don't do this. I just need some space, okay? Talk to you in a few days.
I wasn't going to reply to that. Because Clare was crazy. In my book, we weren't broken up. Not in the slightest. We won't be until I say so. Because I'm not giving up on this relationship.
When she sees me in school tomorrow, she'll remember how much she loves me. Even though this morning, I didn't see any love in her deep blue eyes.
Clare's POV, the next morning
I rode up to Degrassi on my bike and locked it in front of the school. I was actually a little surprised that Eli wasn't waiting outside my house with Morty at 7:30am as usual. Not really because I missed him, but because he seemed so, obsessed yesterday evening.
"Hey, Clare!" And there he was. I somehow knew that Eli would find me today. I nodded in his direction, but I saw Fitz standing with his friends a few yards away, so before Eli could get to me, I turned around and walked to Fitz.
Fitz half smiled at me, but looked at his friends who were giving him weird looks. "Hi, uh, pretend we're talking? Eli won't leave me alone," I said through my teeth.
"Oh, yeah, sure, cool with us." Fitz said. He wasn't acting like his usual self, but it was early in the morning. Maybe he's tired?
I smiled and nodded as the guys talked, as if I really cared what they were talking about. Eli, on the other hand, didn't dare to come over and speak to us. Fitz didn't really give him an apology for Vegas Night, so Eli still thought he was bad. I did hear my phone beep, though.
Eli: Really, Judas? Why are you talking to Fitz.
Clare: He's my friend. Go to class, Eli.
He didn't reply, and I didn't really care. Now, I had to start getting harsh on this boy, unless he got it through his thick skull that we're over.
Author's Note: I'm not even gonna go back and reread/edit this because I'm so tired, like omg. I used to be able to stay up till 4am but not so much anymore xD I also read a not so nice review right before writing, so that plus tiredness kind of makes for a not so good chapter? Idk. I hope it's not too bad. Reviews please? They toast my bread to a nice golden brown. (lolwhut. xD) goodnight y'all. Xoxoxosteff.
