Chapter 5

Confessions

Eli jumped over the fence,falling over flat on his face in the grass. "shit!" Eli expressed,trying to get back up.. "or you could of waited for me to use the key..." She laughed,closing his car door. "I'm going to get you for that,Edwards" He muttered,brushing himself off.

Clare unlocked the gate,laughing,sticking her tongue out at him. "Psyche" She said,and ran for the door,as Eli chased after her. "more childhood memories..." Eli started. "Tag you're it!" Clare giggled as the two chased each other around the yard.

"You're it!" Clare said,playfully punching him. "Nice,Edwards. I'mma get you!" She smiled,as she raced to her front door,opening it,going inside and locking the door behind her. Eli ran up to the door,ringing it continuously.

"I can't believe you locked me out,such a childish thing to do." She bit her lip,as she noticed her patio door was unlocked. By that time, Eli already had run around the back of the house.

"ha ha I win,you lose" Eli teased,as he climbed in the kitchen through the sliding glass doors. "You know it's not safe to leave these unlocked." Clare rolled her eyes. "I forgot,okay?" Clare got denfensive,remembering how she snuck out last night,and forgot to lock them when she came in. He put his hands up. "okay,it's your safety."

He saw the couch and made himself comfortable,putting his feet up on the coffee table. "Hmm a pair of converse shoes on my coffee table." She swiftly pushed them off the table.

"wow you're a neat freak." Clare couldn't help,but smile around him. "guess so,so what movie do you want to watch first?" Eli pulled the bag of videos onto the couch. "hmm,lady and the tramp,Cinderella,Harold and Maude,the never ending story,a walk to remember? Really Edwards? Oh and the notebook! Of course you would get a horribly sad movie." Clare rolled her eyes. "It's a beautiful movie,we're watching that one first." Eli rolled his eyes.

"No,no you will make me want to kill myself,if your essays haven't already." He sneered,slipping the DVD from her. He chucked it out the window. "Where did the movie go?" Clare asked,looking around for it." Eli smirked.

"maybe your house is haunted..." "Do things go missing a lot in your house?" Clare looked at him. "yeah right,fine you pick the movie!" Clare gave up,and fell back on the sofa.

"I knew you'd see it my way." Clare hated how arrogant he was. "Okay,When a stranger calls." Eli laughed,slipping in the DVD. "I'm not watching a horror film!" Clare yelled,wrestling for the DVD remote. "Oh,yes you are. I'd love to see you scared shitless."

Clare playfully pounced on Eli. "Wow,I'm going to have to have movie study nights more often. "Eli,seriously I can't watch that. It has sexual content in it." beep beep beep beep

Eli opened his eyes. "yeah that's a sin or something,right?" Clare nodded. "You wouldn't want to disobey God now,would you?" Eli raised his eyebrows. "fine we'll watch lady in the tramp,because Lady has puppies through an immaculate conception." He said sarcastically. He laughed to himself,and slipped the DVD in.

The movie played,and Eli looked at his cell phone,playing super snake until it was over. "This is my favorite scene..." Clare cried. "They just loved each other so much,even though she was different and he was a mutt!" She cried out loud. Eli shot his eyes open. "Oh my god,look he's giving her the meatball!" Clare said with such cheer in her voice.

"Somebody kill me" Eli shut his eyes,imagining his happy place. "They kissed!" "yay!" Clare cheered. "okay enough of that." Eli turned the TV off. "for once,I want to finish my homework."

"What,no more movie night?"

"Well,sure next time we skip school I'll take you to the kiddie movie theater,because well you need someone 17 or older to get in there."

Clare threw a pillow at him. "I've met children,more rebellious than you" Clare rolled her eyes. "Well sorry" Eli smirked,thinking Damn this girl is goody goody.
"What's the most rebellious thing you've ever done?" Eli asked,shoving gummy bears in his mouth. Clare thought a minute...
" I stole a vibrator from my teachers house." Eli's eyes shot open,as he started choking.

"I was kidding,I was kidding,please don't die!" Clare yelled. "I'll go get you water." She ran to get a water bottle,and handed it to Eli.

Eli caught his breath. "Where is it now?" Clare hit him with the pillow. "oh yeah,just hit a choking person!" Eli yelled."So,where is it?"

"ew! Who's got a dirty mind,now?" Clare questioned.

"and for your information the principal

confiscated it,I don't know why. It wasn't his,but he lost his job shortly after...so..."

Eli burst out laughing. "it's not funny." Eli shook his head. "oh yes it is,Edwards." "Please! I didn't use it,I just took it to school...well Ally did,and then it went off in class,and ...you know what enough confessions for one night."

Eli nodded. "I got caught with my pants down once,and the guys football team thought I was screwing a tree." Eli mentally hit himself,thinking he just told someone that.

Clare held back laughter. "Wow,that's embarrassing... poor tree" He rolled his eyes,and hit her with a decorative pillow.

"alright,let's finish that English assignment." Eli changed the subject.

-the next day-

"Clare where we're you yesterday ?" Adam ran after Clare in the school hallway. Clare bit her lip,closing her locker. "I just went out for some air." "right,Clare you skipped school to get some air." Adam rolled his eyes.

"Who did you go with?" He asked,blocking her from going anywhere. Adam knew what Clare wasn't saying. "Eli,you skipped class with Eli?"

She smiled, a sort of happy I've got a crush smile.

"Wow! you two are not going to stay away from each other,are you? Does he know about your you know?" Clare shook her head.

"He doesn't need to know,because we're friends not lovers." Adam rolled his eyes. "This is going to be just like when you liked KC,you will deny it,say he is

nothing,and secretly be falling in love with him." Clare grabbed her books quickly.

"I do not love him!" Adam clicked his tongue against his palette. "Not yet,but you're certainty on the road to!" Ally walked up to them. "What's going on here?" She asked,looking at Clare's heavily flushed cheeks. "She's just in love with Eli." Clare dropped her mouth open. "Am not! We're English partners,just English partners." Clare smiled. "mm hum" Ally said.

"We're friends okay,just friends." Ally shook her head. "I'm going to start the countdown to your heart attack." Ally commented. Clare smirked. "He's not getting anywhere near my lips,so no need to break out the defibrillator." She teased.
