Adam's POV
I stand in front of my locker pulling out my books when Clare and Eli walk up.
"Morning Adam," Clare smiles. I look from her to Eli.
"Well I can't help but notice that you two are on speaking terms again. What happened yesterday," I smile. Clare looks at Eli and smiles.
"Nothing," She says looking back at me. Eli places his hand on my shoulder.
"I told her about Julia," He says. I sigh.
"Good. I didn't know how long I could keep that a secret," I say. Clare shoots me a look.
"Uh huh," She says raising an eyebrow. I take this as an excuse to leave. Frankly, Clare frightens me just a little.
I open the comic I had picked out of my locker and start to read. I know it's not good to read and walk, but I left off on a really good part.
Captain Red throws the villains into the alley as a giant eighteen-wheeler comes speeding down the street unable to stop. There is a small girl in the middle of the road. Should Captain Red save the little girl and let the villains escape or...
~SLAM~!
My comic goes flying across the hall and I fall flat on my back. I quickly jump to my feet to see a girl on the floor as well. I quickly run up to her.
"I am so sorry," I say helping her to her feet.
"No it's okay. I'm kind of out of it today. Should have been paying attention," the girl says standing up. She's beautiful. Dark wavy hair, porcelain skin. "I'm Fiona," She says extending a hand.
"Uh Adam right? I think you're in my French class."
"Yeah that's me. And yeah I am," I smile. She knows my name. She bends down to pick up my comic and she smiles at the cover. "Cute," She says handing it back to me. I blush a little embarrassed.
Holly J suddenly walks up behind me. "There you are Fi. I've been looking everywhere for you," She says walking to Fiona's side.
"Holly J, this is Adam. He's in our French class," She smiles looking from me to Holly J. Holly J smiles at me.
"Yeah, you're Sav's friend right," She asks.
"Uh yeah I guess you could say that," I smile back. Fiona's phone beeps. She quickly takes it out and looks at the screen.
"Holly J we're late for English," She says looking a little stressed.
"Okay. Let's go," Holly J says linking arms with her.
"Bye Adam. See you in French," Fiona yells walking away. "
Yeah bye," I yell back. I sigh.
I think I just met the girl of my dreams. Too bad she's way out of my league.
Eli's POV
After Adam had left me and Clare alone, she turns to me.
"So, I've been thinking," She says leaning against the lockers.
"Really? That's a first," I smirk. "Eli," She says hitting me playfully.
"Ow. I'm just kidding. Geez Clare lighten up," I smirk rubbing my arm. She gives me a look.
"Okay, okay. So you were thinking. Thinking about what...," I ask now curious.
"I'm going to give you some time," She smiles. I smile back.
"I like that idea," I smile. "Me too," She says looking into my eyes.
It's going to be hard to just be friends with Clare, but I'm still healing. Clare understands that. She's one of the most amazing people I've ever met.
I don't know what I would do if I lost her.
"Walk me to class," Clare asks looking at me.
"Yeah. Why not," I say putting my arm around her shoulder. We walk down the hall to her class.
