Chapter 3

Ever since the encounter with Eli I've been trying to ignore him. I can't believe I even thought he was cute. I can't be having these feelings, the only feelings I have are for K.C, even though he was a jerk. Oh how I miss him and his beautiful brown eyes. The way he laughed and his passion for music. He was, sort of, the reason why I started listening to rock music. K.C. even taught me how to play electric and acoustic guitar. Playing guitar helped me cope with my mother's death and now it helps me cope with K.C's death. However, I have….other ways to help me cope.

As I was opening my locker, a note fell. I picked up the note and it said…..

Dear Clare,

I know that you've only been here for a few days, but I think you're really cute. To show my affection, I've written a poem for you….

Roses are red, Violets are blue

I might not be your perfect match, but I'm a cute catch.

Love,

Your secret admirer

How cliché is this? This guy or…. girl really thinks that they have a chance with me? Well, I at least there is one clue from the note that helps me narrow it down of who can be my secret admirer. This person must be really cocky if they think that they are a "cute catch."

All of a sudden a body appeared next to me.

"Hey newbie." Eli said while smiling down at me.

"Awwww cute…nicknames." I said teasingly back at him while smiling, again no idea where that came from.

"Hey, you should be honored. I only give cuties nicknames." Eli said while smirking.

The bell, all of a sudden, rang.

"Well, I got to get to class." Eli said while leaving, however. Not before I –

"Wait….. I could really use a tour guide." I said shyly.

"Come on." Eli said

While Eli was taking me to my class, well our class since I found out we both had advanced English, I was mentally slapping myself because I was letting a jock talk to me. In addition, I slapped myself because I was talking to a jock and for acting weird around Eli. I, mean, come on I can't like Eli. But, I feel this strange attraction towards Eli that I never felt with K.C. and I am kind of scared of what is going to happen between me and Eli.

Thank you for reading and I would appreciate it if you left a review. Three or more reviews than I will post the next chapter.
