WHAT AN ASSHOLE-CHAPTER 2
CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE
My head popped up when I heard my alarm go off, and sighed knowing I had cried myself to sleep last night on the balcony.
I really didn't want to move from this spot, but the alarm was fucking annoying me. I got up, stomping over to my alarm clock slamming my hands down on the "stop" button.
"Honey, it's 7:20! You're going to be late!" My mom called out from downstairs.
I rummaged through my clothes, and honestly didn't care what I wore or looked like. I didn't even want to go to school.
Eli had officially ruined my life.
First, he tried.
Failed.
Second time up, he tried.
Failed.
Third times a charm, he tried.
And then, he succeeded.
Once my clothes were on, and my hair brushed, I glanced at myself in the mirror.
My eyes were red and puffy, my neck was strained from sleeping with my head down, and streams of mascara was stained on my face from crying so much.
I gulped, wiping the remains of the makeup off my cheek. I sighed, walking slowly down my steps.
"Hey honey, do you want me to drive you?" My mom asked me.
I shook my head, and just sat on the steps.
I couldn't feel my legs anymore. I didn't know what I was going to walk into at school.
What has Eli gotten me into, I didn't know. And, I was scared to know.
My mom glanced at me worriedly, and I bursted out into tears...
ELI'S PERSPECTIVE
I leaned my back against my locker, my heart racing, noticing Clare wasn't at school yet.
She was never late.
Ever.
My thoughts were interrupted by a slam of a locker next to me.
I grinned nervously, trying not to make eye contact with Adam.
"So, Clare's not here yet. Do you think that you had anything to do with her absence,Eli?" Adam asked me.
"Maybe she's sick," I added raising an eyebrow, quickly opening my locker, and placing unnecessary books into my bag.
Adam laughed pathetically, even I knew that was a really bad excuse.
"Oh Goldsworthy you are really pushing your luck now, she's probably scared to come to school! Who wouldn't, do you know how many rumors I've heard about her since the second I walked into school Eli?" He asked me.
Suddenly, my throat grew dry, and I shook my head.
"Tons Eli, tons. And you were the cause of it. You could have possibly ruined her social life," he told me continuing, "Nice job Eli."
I growled, slamming my locker, and hissed, "Is their anything else you have to blame me for?"
Adams grin tilted from side to side and said, "God Eli, it is your fault after all. The least you can do is feel guilty. Do you feel anything? I mean first you tell me you like her, then I turn my back and you're calling her an attention whore. You and me both know that you were the one who unhooked her bra in English Eli."
I sighed, not having anything to say.
"She had it coming," I told Adam smirking.
"Jesus Eli, you're sick. This girl, didn't do anything to you, and she's scared to walk into her own school because of you! It's your fault. Whatever happens to her, is your fault," Adam told me storming off.
Stupid Adam.
I didn't have any intention of hurting Clare.
All I wanted to do was get back at her.
Not make her cry, or have these rumors started.
My heart skipped a beat, as I saw Clare walking in through the doors, her head down, as people immediately averted their attention towards her, and started shouting cruel names out towards her...
CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE
I kept my head down, heading towards my locker, tears starting to form in my eyes at the names I was hearing.
"Hey," I heard a sincere voice as I spun my combination into my lock.
I ignored it.
As any sane person would.
I kept my head down, ignoring the voice and the person, knowing it was Eli.
"Clare," he said as I unlocked my locker and opened it seeing notes fall out of it.
My eyes analyzed each one that read, "Whore, Fuck me, Call me 718-543-7780 I could go for a good time (;" and several others piled up.
I placed my books in my locker, as Eli pulled on my arm trying to get my attention.
"Don't touch me," I hissed ripping out of his tight grip on my arm, slamming the locker and quickly running into the bathroom.
I locked myself in the first stall I could see, and dropped my bag, crying hysterically into my hands.
"Clare?" I heard a voice call out.
It wasn't him, it was Ali.
I heard her heels click slowly on the floor, trying to find the stall I was in.
When I saw her feet beneath the stall she said, "Clare come out."
I opened the lock slowly, and when I saw my best friend, I wrapped my arms around her crying hysterically in her arms.
"Everyone knows," I whimpered as she tried to create a sentence with my slurred words.
Ali rubbed my back, not knowing what to say, because it was too late to fix anything.
I gripped onto her tighter and she said, "Clare, I think you should go home. You can't stay in here crying all day."
"I know, but I can't go home. My mom is staying home from work, and If I came home she'd ask me what's wrong and I'd have to tell her the truth. Then, she'd call the school and then I can't, I just don't even want to think about dealing with this like that," I told her wheezing.
Ali pulled away from me as I turned around to grab my bag, and Ali said, "You can't leave yet."
"Why?" I asked wiping my tears getting ready to face my problems.
She smiled and frowned as she said, "Eli's waiting outside for you, and he wanted me to tell you he is going to wait until you come out."
I growled and said, "He ruined my life, the least he could do is leave me the fuck alone."
Ali said, "I'll guard you and keep him from getting to you as long as I can. But, he seems pretty determined."
"Thanks Ali," I told her lunging towards her as she wrapped her arms around me.
I took a deep breath, this is it.
ALI'S PERSPECTIVE
Eli's eyes averted towards me, hoping I was Clare and he stood up.
"Is she okay?" He asked.
I crossed my arms and asked, "Why would you care?"
Eli glared down at me and Clare rushed behind me, heading down the hall to math as I blocked Eli from going any further towards her.
"Ali, come on, I just want to talk to her," Eli told me begging.
I shook my head,"You want to talk to her, you have to go through me."
He laughed at me and said, "I just want to apologize to her."
"An apologize won't work this time Eli," I told him turning around swiftly quickly disappearing before he could catch up to me.
I don't care what Eli had to say because he still ruined Clare, and she's my best friend. I'll stick up for her, even if I know she's clearly wrong because that's what best friends do.
And, Clare is my best friend. I'll stay by her side through anything, and that includes this.
CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE
This day was a complete blur.
Through each class, I held my head low, avoiding any human contact.
I sighed, knowing I had to get through English next and then I could finally go home.
My heart raced, knowing Eli was in this class.
Tears formed in my eyes, and dripped down my face as I sat at my desk and held my head down.
I felt a light tap, and I ripped my arm quickly away assuming it was Eli.
"Relax, it's just me," Adam told me giving me a reassuring smile.
"Come on, I told Ms. Dawes you were upset and I need to talk to you, let's go in the hallway," Adam told me as I got up slowly making sure not to make any eye contact with Eli.
Once Adam and I got out in the hallway, I slid down the lockers and slowly onto the floor.
Adam kneeled across from me and said, "Clare, don't let these people get to you. I know Eli's an asshole, and you should never forgive him, but talking to him might help you."
"What? What are you insane? He did this to me, and the worst part is, it's just begun..." I whispered looking down.
Adam sighed and said, "I know it's hard, and you've been under Ali's protection all day, but she can't protect you from the world Clare. I know it's hard now, and everyone thinks this stuff that Eli said about you online. But, Clare, all that matters is what you know and you know that you didn't do that. You know that you didn't. People who spread rumors have no lives, and all that they can do is spread rumors about people that aren't true. Trust me Clare, their is worse out there than rumors."
I laughed and said, "You're just trying to make me feel better."
"Is it working?" Adam asked me grinning.
I wiping my tears and said, "A little."
Adam held out a hand, and said, "Come on Clare, don't let assholes bring you down."
When I stood up Adam said, "But no matter what, I'll be here to pick you back up again."
I smiled for the first time today, and wrapped my arms around Adam as he returned it in a tight embrace.
When we pulled away, I walked back into class, all eyes on me, including Eli's.
My facial expression turned from strong to weak in a matter of seconds seeing a post it on my desk from Eli.
"Clare,
Just want to talk. Give me a chance.
After Class. I just want to say...
something.
-Eli."
I laughed, noticeably loud, and turned around to smile at Eli.
Eli returned it in a smirk and I crumpled the post it in his face, throwing it on the ground, and crushing it beneath my foot.
I rolled my eyes turning back around to try and attempt to pay attention to Ms. Dawes.
I lifted my head, when the bull rung, and I rushed out ignoring cruel words, and rushed to my locker as Eli called my name out.
Before I could get to my locker, Eli sprinted ahead of me, and stood right in front of my locker.
"Excuse me," I whispered looking down knowing he wasn't going to move.
When Eli was about to say something, he was interupted my Reese screaming out,"Eh Eli's getting it in! Eh buddy! Let me give you a hand!" Reese said shoved me forcefully into Eli as his crowd laughed at me.
Eli tried to hold on to me, trying to comfort me, as tears dripped from eyes, and I pushed him away from me causing his back to slam against my locker.
I sighed, just screwing putting away my books and starting to walk down the hall and out of the school as Eli followed me.
"Clare, Jesus, please, I just want to apologize!" He pleaded out.
I looked up at him and laughed, "Apologize."
"Eli, it's way past apology now. You took it too far this time..." I whispered looking down at my feet.
His face remained apologetic and said, "I know Clare, I know, and I just want to know what I can do to make this better."
I looked up at him grinning and said, "I know exactly what you can do to make this all better Eli."
"What?" he asked me completely clueless.
"Die," I told him starting to walk away.
"Clare! Please! I just want this to stop," he begged.
I turned around and asked, "What has to stop? You're in great shape. No one slapped you in the ass today walking down the hall, no one called you a whore, no one cornered you asked them to suck their cock for money. Did they Eli?"
His face hung low, his bangs flowing in the wind and said, "That's what I thought."
I gulped, turning once again away from Eli as he said, "I'll take the status offline. I'll tell everyone what I said wasn't true. I just want everything to go back to normal. The times when we used to bicker."
"It's too late to go back. Even if you did take it offline, everyone still knows, or thinks. But you know what Eli, they can think what they want to think because...it's true. According to you..." I whimpered through my tears.
Eli shook his head, "You aren't a whore Clare."
"Then why'd you call me that all over the fucking internet Eli?" I screamed asking him attracting attention.
Eli opened his mouth to talk but Fitz and a couple of boys interrupted and asked, "Yeah Eli, why did you?"
The crowd of boys huddled around Eli and I and he gulped as tears fell from my eyes.
"Because...because it's true," Eli said smirking.
I threw my hands up in the air, and laughed, "Oh yeah Eli, you know how I can start to forgive you for lying. Start telling the fucking truth!"
When I tried to back up out of the circle, I was stuck due to the amount of guys surrounding me.
"Come on Eli, apologize," Reese whined mimicking me.
Eli sighed, glancing at me and I said, "Tell the truth Eli. Tell them everything you said is a lie. Please..."
