A/N: Hey hey! :) So I realised something.. I'm probably not in the same timezone as you guys, so when I said I migh update later that night (yesterday) it wasn't really smart of me. You see, I got all the reviews I asked for (:D), but in the middle of the night. This was for you, in the evening :P So yeah.. if I upload at some weird time for you, it's probably because of the time difference ;)

Anyways, I love the reviews! Thank you :) Shall we try and get it to 100 reviews? That would be incredible awesome!

And no, I don't have a tumblr... :/

Now, enogh of my rambling.. enjoy the next chapter!

I tapped my pencil against my book. I looked at the clock again. 3 more minutes until class' supposed to start. Where is he? He is never late. This is English! He's favorite subject. I looked at the clock again. It hasn't moved. I looked at the door. No Eli. Seriously where is he? I bit my lover lip. I have no clue why I'm nervous. I mean, it's not my fault if he's late. It's crazy. After I talked to Alli last night, Eli's been the only thing on my mind. His perfect looks... and that voice.. and those eyes. Eyes that were supposed to be here now. I want him to be here. I don't want to sit all alone. I looked at the clock one more time. 1 minute left. Seconds passed feeling like hours, when a dark dressed boy entered. I felt relieved, no clue why, so don't ask. I smiled, but it soon faded. Eli went right pass me and sat down beside some blonde chick. She smiled hugely at him as she twirled her hair around her finger. Stupid bimbo. Wow, Clare, cool it. That's not your kind of language. Eli said something looking straight forward, ignoring the blonde. She didn't seem to notice, since she laughed. Or maybe he wasn't ignoring her. He turned towards her and smirked. He smirked at her! Smirked! He's not supposed to smirk at anybody else besides me! I mean I'm.. I am his.. well, friend. I guess. If he even consider me a friend now.. I turned my sight away from Eli as the teacher walked in.

3 more minutes. Deja Vu. Except this time, there's 3 minutes until class ends. It's so weird. I love English, and it usually goes by so fast. But today, it has gone by so slow, and I've wanted it to end faster. That's a first time! This class has been annoying. I mean the teacher hasn't done anything, she's still my favorite teacher, but Eli's been on my mind. I don't like thinking about him. I'm not supposed to think about him. But that doesn't mater. That chick over there.. who does she think she is? The bell rang, and I gathered my things quickly. I walked out of class, and waited by the door. I had to talk to Eli. Students came out of the class, but no Eli yet. I crossed my arms. What was taking him so long? After a few more moments the blonde girl came out smiling as she looked back. That's weird. Eli came soon after, a smirk on his face. I glared at him.

"Hi Eli" I said with a smile. No point in being angry now.

"Hi" He said walking smug away.

"Excuse me, I'm trying to talk to you"

"Talk then" He said still walking. I kept walking with him.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing"

"Are you mad at me or something?"

"Or something" He smirked at me, and I'm sure I got a confused expression. He continued "No worries Clare, I'm not mad"

"Then why are you acting weird?"

"Weird?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

"Yes. You're acting weird"

"How?"

"You're... well, you know" He chuckled

"No, I don't know. Enlighten me" He stopped to look at me.

"You ignored me during class"

"Clare, we sat on different sides of the class, and in case you don't know, it's kinda not allowed to scream across the room during lessons" I rolled my eyes at him

"The seat next to me was empty"

"I know" His expression was blank

"Then..." It was his time to roll his eyes.

"My world doesn't surround around you Clare. I can sit next to who I want to" He looked annoyed. I frowned.

"So you chose that stupid blonde girl?"

"She's not stupid, and it's not really any of your business"

"I bet she's as fake as she looks"

"She's not! She's realer than you" My eyes widened

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're so confusing. You hate me, tell me to stay away, then seem to like me. We even kiss, but you reject me for the millionth time. Then you just walk away. And the day after that you're mad at me for not sitting with you in class? Do you want an apology or something? Because you're not getting one. Stephanie, the 'stupid' girl is actually very nice" He's right.. What am I doing?

"Nothing to say Edwards?"

"What am I supposed to say?" I was annoyed. I can't believe this talk turned against me.

"You can say sorry"

"For what?"

"Calling her stupid and fake"

"I don't know her, so I'm not apologizing"

"Not to her, to me. I know her"

"And?"

"She's not fake or stupid" He looked annoyed to. When did it become his job to defend this girl?

"Fine. Sorry" He rolled his eyes.

"Now what?" I asked annoyed, glaring at him.

"Nothing"

"I have to go to class"

"Yeah, me too"

"Fine, bye" He didn't say anything. He just walked away. Stupid boy. What's wrong with him? Just because I'm giving him mixed signals, he doesn't have to act like this! I mean, yeah, I'm kinda using him, but he doesn't know that! And I don't want to use him anymore. I want to get to know him. But right now, it seems as Stephanie has a greater chance than me.

I looked around for Alli. She was supposed to meet me here for lunch. I've been waiting for 5 minutes now, and trust me, I'm not in the mood. Suddenly I heard a pair of heels, and a few seconds later Alli came from behind the corner. She smiled at me. I gave her a weak smile back.

"Hi Clare-Bear"

"Alli.."

"Sorry, but it's so cute" I rolled my eyes.

"Where were you, you're 5 minutes late"

"Sorry, mom" She chuckled "I met Drew in the hall, and it was hard getting away" Of course. Drew. Her dream boy. Also known as friend of Eli.

"What's wrong?" Alli asked.

"Let's get a table and some food in the cafeteria"

"Fine, but you're not getting away. You're going to talk"

We sat down at a table, and I had no choice but to talk. I told her about this morning. About Eli and Stephanie, and about our talk that didn't really turn out the way I wanted it to. After spilling to her I studied her face. She was thinking.

"Well?" I asked.

"Ehh..." She stared at me "I'm not sure what to say"

"I know right, confusing"

"Yeah, kinda, but not really" I raised my eyebrow. "I mean, it's kinda normal to not be the hugest fan of the girl that rejects you time after time"

"Yeah, maybe but.."

"Clare, you're a great girl, but he's not gonna keep trying forever" I looked down, then up at Alli again.

"I know that, but.. That stupid blonde girl-" Alli gave me a look "I mean, that blonde girl.." She smiled weakly at me.

"It's not to be mean, but that's kinda what trigged this problem"

"I know, I know. Anyways, that blonde girl. How can he just go on and flirt with her so soon"

"Clare, you were never together" She looked amused now. This is so confusing! She's right, I'm acting like I have something to say in this. I actually don't. I said no.

"Ehh, Clare, is that her?" She pointed behind me. I turned around to. At a table in the other end sat Eli and a blonde chick.

"Yep, that's her alright.."

"She's pretty" Alli said nonchalantly. I gave her a look.

"Sorry" I looked at them again. He was smiling. I frowned as I turned back to Alli. I sighted picking my nasty cafeteria food.

"We need to start to bring our own food" I said.

"Clare, don't worry. We'll fix this"

"So you'll make us sandwiches?"

"No, I mean, we'll fix this little bump in the ride with Eli" I rolled my eyes at her.

"Trust me" She smiled at me.
