A/N: Jenna and KC are not dating in this fic ;) And the best review for last chapter: Emily-Danielle! :) This chapter is for you, hope you like it!
I walked in to the cafeteria and looked around. I saw Ali sitting at a table with Drew. Well, I'm not going to sit there. I looked around again and my eyes stopped on Jenna. She was sitting at a table with Adam and some other guy. I smiled as I walked towards them.
"Hey, Jenna" I smiled at her, even though I didn't really feel like smiling right now.
"Hi, Clare! Sit down" Jenna smiled wide at me and made space for me beside her.
"Thanks" I said as I started to eat my apple.
"This is Adam and KC" Jenna said introducing them "Guys, this is Clare, she's really sweet"
"Hi" I said
"Nice to meet you" this KC guy said.
"Nice to see you again" Adam said.
"You've met?" Jenna asked
"Yeah, we have English together" I said smiling.
"Oh, well that's great! Then KC is the only new one for you at the table"
"Yes" I said laughing. Jenna laughed too.
"What?" Adam asked
"Jenna's acting like this is formal dinner or something" KC said smiling.
"I'm just trying to make her feel welcome"
"You're doing a great job Jenna" I said. And I really meant it. I feel a lot better now, compared to a few minutes ago.
"Hey guys" I looked up and saw a smiling Ali.
"Hey, Ali, why aren't you sitting with Drew anymore?"
"Oh, I was just sitting with him since you weren't here yet. You didn't think I would spend my first lunch here without you?" Ali said in her mocking-threat voice.
"Well, in that case sit"
"If it's okay?" Ali asked the rest.
"Sure" Jenna said happy.
"I'm Adam, and this is KC"
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ali"
The rest of lunch went by fast as we had a great time. I was right, Adam was a great guy, and KC was cool too. I'd even forgotten about Eli until KC asked me something. We were the only ones left now, having later classes that the rest.
"Wanna grab a coffee sometime?" He smiled at me. This reminded me so much of Eli. Except Eli's a jerk, and KC sure isn't.
"Sure" I said smiling. KC was a nice guy, but I couldn't help feeling I only did this to piss Eli off.
"Great!" KC smiled. "Well I have to go, but I'll pick you up later?"
"Yeah, Bye" I waved at him. I got up from the table, leaving for my locker. As I walked out of the cafeteria someone grabbed my arm. Eli.
"What do you want?" I said jerking my arm out of his hold. Eli looked to the side, avoiding eye contact.
"Why did you say yes to KC?" What?
"First, how do you know that? And second, it's none of your business"
"I heard since I was going to talk to you, and yes it is my business"
"Why were you going to talk to me?"
"Because.. that's not the point here, why did you say yes?" He seemed a bit angry now. I smirked
"Because he seems like a great guy"
"You met him today"
"So?"
"I've known you longer, and you completely rejected me!"
"Hmm, why is that I wonder?" Eli seemed lost. "Maybe because you're a jerk that asks out one girl, then makes out with another the next minute" Eli's face fell.
"But, that's not me! I'm not like that" I gave him a 'are you kidding me look'
"Do you think I'm blind? Or stupid? You know I saw you earlier"
"Well, yeah, but I can explain that" He said really fast. I raised my eyebrows
"She did it! I didn't want to! I swear. She's always at me like that, against my will! Ask anybody" I laughed at him.
"Bye, Eli"
"Clare" He grabbed my arm.
"What? I have class, and I don't feel like wasting anymore time with you"
"Give me a chance to prove you're wrong?" I thought about it. It could be fun. Let him try. Make him believe he has a chance. And then, as Jenna suggested, reject him.
"Can I stop you?"
"No, but you can let me take you out?" I fake-laughed.
"No. It's not that easy" Eli put his hands in his pockets and looked down. I walked away. He was unbelievable. Getting mad at me for going for a coffee with KC, while he made out with some other chick!
Eli's POV:
I looked down as she walked away. That didn't go well. What was wrong with her? Why didn't she want to go out with me? Everybody wants to! I kicked a paper ball that, for some odd reason, was in front of me. But she's gonna want to. When I'm done working my charm on her, she'll be head over heels for me, and won't even remember KC's name. Nobody can resist me, and I can't resist a challenge. I smirked to myself, but it soon faded. Clare was going out with KC. I felt something weird, just the feeling I got earlier when I overheard their conversation. I shook it off. She wasn't going to meet KC, at least not alone. I might just show up, who knows?
A/N: This isn't my best chapter, but hope you guys liked it anyways! Remember to REVIEW! :)
