A/N: Thank you for all the reviews! I love them all! :)

I'm really sorry you guys had to wait for so long.. and this chapter is embarrassing short.. which I'm really sorry for :( I've had a lot to do, but I'll update the next chapter when I get 90 reviews, which is only 5 away, so it'll probably be tonight or tomorrow. Hope that makes it a little better :)

I looked at myself in the mirror. What have I done? I thought rejecting him would be fun, even satisfying, but no. I feel bad. Like really, really bad. He looked so cute and innocent. How could I say no? You know what the weirdest part is? I regret saying no, not because I may have hurt him, but because I wont be able to go out with him. I suddenly got this urge. I want him to ask me out again. If he does, I'll accept. No doubt. There can't be any doubt. I mean, all I can see is his beautiful face. I touched my lips slowly. I miss his lips.

"Clare!" I jumped away from the mirror, and turned around.

"Oh gosh, Alli! Are you trying to kill me?" She stood in the door frame, arms crossed.

"Where were you today?" She asked emotionless.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean Adam said you skipped last class. That's not like you"

"Eh, well.."

"Are you sick?" She looked concerned now.

"No, Alli I'm fine" I smiled at her.

"Then why skip?" She didn't look concerned anymore, just confused. Should I tell her? She'll freak out. But she's always the one that tells me to "live a little", and I could use some advice right now.

"I was with Eli...kinda" Her eyebrows went up, and a sneaky smile spread across her face.

"Oh, really?" I nodded at her, and as soon as I saw her face I rolled my eyes.

"What are you waiting for? Tell me!" She looked like a little kid on Christmas morning.

"We just stayed outside and talked"

"Talked?"

"Yeah"

"You sure that's the only thing you used your lips for?" She smiled big, and I looked away.

"No way!" I looked at her, and wish I hadn't. She had the hugest grin on her face.

"Alli, calm down"

"I will not calm down" She smiled "Was it good?" I rolled my eyes, but answered with a smile.

"Yeah.."

"I knew it" I chuckled.

"What?"

"Oh, come on Clare. I boy like him has to be a good kisser" I laughed at her.

"So, do you think you'll do it again?" She looked so hopeful. I swear when you talk to Alli about this stuff, she get's so excited you would think she's the one this is about.

"I want to, but-"

"No but. Why but?"

"Because he asked me out" Alli's eyes got big.

"That's awesome!"

"No Alli, it isn't" Confusion stroke her face.

"What? Don't you kinda like him?"

"I said no"

"Why?"

"Because that was the plan remember?"

"Ahh, I see. And you regret saying no. You regret saying no because all you can think of Eli's amazing lips, that you rejected. Meaning you kinda told him to use his perfect lips on someone else-"

"Alli" I said annoyed.

"I'm right, am I not?"

"Maybe..." I said slowly, and to my surprise she smiled.

"Why the heck are you smiling?"

"Well, nothing..just that my babygirl likes Eli" She said this in a sing-song-voice.

"Do, not"

"Do to"

"Do not"

"Then why do you want him to ask you out again just so you can say yes?"

"What? How do you know?"

"Aha, so it's true!"

"No, it's not! I didn't say that"

"You implied it" She smirked, and I did what I do best, rolled my eyes.

"It doesn't matter anyway. He probably won't ask me out again"

"Why not?"

"Because I've rejected him several times already. I wouldn't bother to ask me out again."

"Wait a few days, and if nothing happens, I'll make sure he asks you out again" She smiled at me.

"Aww"

"No emotional Clare, please"

"Haha, you know Jenna's gonna be pissed if I go out with him.."

"That's her problem, Clare"

"But she might be right"

"And might not. Clare she said Drew's a jerk to, and guess what? He's not." I raised an eyebrow at her. She continued.

"She may have had some problems with them some while ago, and wants revenge"

"This isn't a stupid teenage movie Alli" I laughed at her.

"Clare, sweet, sweet Clare" She put her arm around me "stupid teenage movies are based on real life" I smiled at her as we walked to our bedroom. We're still alone in our room, but only for one more week. I wonder what our roommate's gonna be like.
