A/N: To make up for my late update I've made this chapter REALLY long and with loads of different POV's :) Hope you like it!
Fiona's POV:
"Do you have any plans for today?" Alli asked me as she entered our bedroom. I was currently lying in bed reading a magazine. I lazily flipped the page.
"No, not really" I answered not even looking up from my magazine.
"So you're going to be here all day?" Alli asked. I looked up at her.
"I guess, why?" She smiled at me.
"I was just wondering. I have to help someone with math and wanted to make sure we won't disturb you?" She answered, even though it came out more as a question. I chuckled.
"Trust me, you won't disturb me"
"Great!" She said grinning.
"Who is it anyways?" I asked her before she could leave the room.
"Torres"
"Drew? That's a waste of time. No one can make him smart. He is born stupid" She said jokingly.
"Hey! He's actually kinda smart. Just not in math" Alli said laughing a bit. "But no, it's Adam"
"Oh" I said looking down at my magazine again. "I thought he was smart"
"He is, but not in math" Alli said.
"Well, he is Drew's brother. Maybe it runs in the family" I said smiling to myself.
"I'll let him know you said that" Alli said taking her phone
"No!" I said laughing at her. "Don't you dare!"
"Why?"
"Because I like it when people think I'm nice. And it's not nice calling a whole family stupid" I said amused. Alli pretended to think about it.
"Fine" She said after a few seconds. "I won't ruin Adams view on you" She said winking at me before exiting the room. I raised my eyebrows at her, even though she wasn't here anymore.
Alli's POV:
I looked through my contacts searching for 'Adam'. For some odd reason he wasn't there. I frowned looking through every one starting with 'A' again. Nope, no Adam. Maybe I saved him as 'Torres'?. I went to 'T' and started searching. No luck. I groaned as I sat down on a chair. Time to look through all my contacts. I know I have his number! After a few moments I saw a contact named 'The-sexy-and-smart-one-of-the-torres-brothers'. I laughed silently as I pressed call.
"Hello?" Said the voice at the other end.
"Adam?" I asked.
"Yeah" I heard Adam say.
"It's me, Alli"
"I know" He said chuckling.
"Why the hell did you save your number with that name? Do you have any idea how long it took me to find it?" I heard him laugh in response.
"I totally forgot about that! But you figured it was me, smart girl" He said smugly.
"What do you mean? There are only two Torres brothers" I said amused.
"And you knew I'm the sexy one" He said. I started laughing.
"No, actually I figured you were the smart one. Plus, Drew's number is saved as something else. I text him almost every day, so I would know" I said smugly. I could hear Adam sigh.
"Fine, whatever. Why'd you call?"
"To tell you we're going to do math together today" I could hear him groan on the other side of the line. "Fi is here, and she is not going anywhere" I said in a sing-song voice.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, I'm sure, I talked to her earlier"
"I'll be there in 5" He said before hanging up. I smiled at my phone. That boy is a weird one. But he's cute, in a funny way.
Adam's POV:
I quickly fixed my hair before I ran out of the house.
"Bye mom!" I screamed as I locked the door behind me. I started walking toward the school. People used to be jealous of me since I lived so close to school, but now I have to live at home instead of on campus. Personally, I would love to have roommates and be able to do what I want, when I want it. But on the other side, if I didn't live at home I would have to make food and clean my own clothes… just the thought of it makes me tired. Ha! I'm such a lazy but. Eli's right, I should work out more often. Maybe I should start joining him and Drew? Or maybe not. I can't be seen working out with those two, I'll look like a little girl besides them. I need to find someone who can make me look more macho.. like a girl. Or a very weak guy. Hm.. I'm going to have to figure that one out. Apparently I had been so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't even realize I was in front of the school. As I entered through the main doors I saw Clare.
"Clare!" I said. She turned around and smiled at me.
"Adam" She said smiling. "What's up?"
"I'm actually going to your dorm. And you?"
"I'm just going to go and get something to eat. Um, why are you going to my dorm?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"I'm getting math help from Alli" I said with a blank stare.
"Adam, you're great at math, did you forget?" She asked amused. Oh, right, she's in my class.
"Well.. umm… I.. I fell! And lost all my math knowledge, so Alli needs to help me restore it" I said fast. I felt like face-palming myself. That was the worst excuse ever. Clare looked at me amuzed.
"Uh-ha.. and the real reason you're going is?" She asked.
"I am going to do math. Seriously." Clare looked at me as if I had three heads.
"Why?"
"Because Fiona is there" I said smiling.
"Oh!" Clare said realizing what I meant. "Let me guess.. Alli's idea?"
"Yup"
"Well, have fun pretending you're dumb. I have to go, that little baguette store down the road is closing in ten minutes, and I really need some food" She said smiling.
"Have fun.. oh wait! Can you bring me one too?" I asked her with hope in my voice.
"Sure, what kind?"
"Number 7" I said fast. Just the thought of number 7 made my mouth melt. In case you didn't know, I love food. Especially sandwiches and baguettes.
"Ok" She said smiling. "See ya soon"
"Clare, one more thing!" I said, preventing her from leaving once again.
"Yeah?"
"Have you seen Eli?"
"Um, no, why? Does he need math help too?" She asked amused.
"Haha, very funny, no. Well, actually he could use some, but that's not the point.." Clare chuckled. "I need to ask him something, that's all"
"About what?"
"I'm thinking about joining the gym, and need to know how much it costs and stuff" I said as if it was nothing.
"Uuu, Adam want to build his body for Fifi" She said in a baby voice.
"Shut up!" I said and she stuck her tongue out at me. I gladly returned the favor before walking off towards her dorm.
Clare's POV:
"… And a number 7" I finished my order.
"To go?" The girl working asked.
"Yes" I smiled at her.
"It will take a minute to get your order, you can sit down at a table if you want, and I'll call you when it's ready" She said with a smile.
"Ok, thanks" I said as I sat down at a table. Just after I had sat down I heard a bell ring. You know, that bell that rings when someone enters a room? Yeah, that one. I turned around to see who would come now. I was pretty sure I would be their last costumer. As I turned around, my eyes met a boy in black. I smiled at him.
"Hey" I said.
"What are you doing here?" Eli asked amused.
"I'm hungry" I said shrugging. He smirked at me. I was about to ask him what he was doing here, but the girl interrupted me.
"Your order is ready" she put the two bags on the desk. Eli looked at me amused.
"Hungry you say? I would describe it at starving" he said smirking.
"It's not all mine!" I said defending myself.
"Oh really? 'Cause I can't see anyone else in here"
"One is for Adam, I'm bringing it to him"
"Sure, sure. Use Adam as an excuse" He said jokingly. I slapped his arm playfully.
"Shut up, it's true"
"Whatever you say princess" He said walking towards the front with me. I took the bags as I looked at Eli.
"Aren't you going to order?" I asked him. He looked at me confused for a second before his facial expression change. It was as if he just understood what I had asked him.
"Oh, no, I didn't come to eat" He said.
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I came to pick up something"
"Ok, what?" I asked.
"Um.. my sweater" He said rubbing his neck. I raised my eyebrows.
"Why is it here?" I asked a bit amused. Eli didn't seem amused though. He actually seemed a bit nervous.
"Well, I-" he started but got interrupted by the girl working here.
"Eli! I didn't see you. Just a minute, it's in the back" She said smiling before turning around to go get something, her long black ponytail swaying behind her.
"Do you know her?" I asked him.
"Yeah, we have French together" He said with a nervous smile. Ok, what's up with him?
"Cool. She seems nice" I said.
"So aren't you going? I bet Adam is starving" He said.
"No, that's fine. I can wait one more minute" I said smiling. Eli didn't answer. A few seconds later the girl came back with a black hoodie in her arms. She gave it to Eli, and my eyes widened.
"Here you go" She said with a smile.
"Thanks" he said smiling a bit.
"Um, Eli? Why did she have your hoodie?" I asked him.
"I forgot it" he said fast.
"Here?" I asked crossing my arms.
"No, at my place" The girl said as if we were talking about the weather. "Oh, by the way, my name is Carmen" She said smiling and holding her hand out towards me.
"Clare" I said, not bothering to shake her hand. She looked at me confused before taking her hand back.
"Anyways.. I have to go and I need to lock up here, so.." Carmen said looking at us. Well, mostly at Eli.
"Um, yeah, let's go" Eli said. We walked out and Eli and I waited outside as Carmen locked the door. I just wanted to go, but Eli was waiting for some reason, and I wanted to talk to him. Carmen finished and turned around. She looked at us, a bit nervous might I add.
"Um, ok, I'll see you tomorrow Eli" She said smiling. Then she turned towards me. "Nice meeting you Clare"
I just nodded at her.
"Bye" Eli said with a little smile. She smiled back, then turned around as she walked away.
"Who's that?" I asked as soon as Carmen walked around the corner.
"That's Carmen" He answered blankly.
"No, duh. I mean who is she? Like how do you know her, and why did you leave your hoodie at her place?" I asked my voice rising at the end. Eli bit his lip as he looked at me.
"Well, as I said, she's in my French class-" I didn't let him finish.
"And let me guess, you were at her place doing homework?" I asked sarcastically.
"No"
"Then what? You were visiting her roommates? Or maybe she lives at home with her parents. Oh! Maybe her parents were gone and-" This time Eli was the one interrupting me.
"Clare!"
"What?" I asked.
"Can you relax?"
"Not until you start talking!"
"Look, she doesn't live on campus, she has an apartment near the school"
"Oh, and apartment. Even better. No parents around. Ever" I said glaring at him. He rolled his eyes.
"Do you seriously think I would cheat?"
"We're not together Eli" I said coldly. His face fell.
"Then why the hell are you interrogating me?" He said, frustration clearly showing.
"Because! I would still get hurt if I knew you were screwing around with other girls!"
"I'm not!"
"Then why-" I was interrupted again.
"She had a party and I forgot my hoodie when I left" he said calmly. I looked at him suspiciously. "Come on Clare, you know I wouldn't do that" He said, referring to my thoughts. Could he read my mind?
"Whatever" I said starting to walk home.
"You do believe me right?" Eli asked walking after me.
"I want to, but, come on Eli! You're the schools player and she is really pretty AND hot, and she had your hoodie!"
"Clare, come on" He said pleading. "I know it looks like that, but trust me" He said stepping in front of me. He looked into my eyes. I could never get tired of looking into those green eyes.
"Fine" I said giving in. "For now" I added. Eli looked relieved, then smiled at me.
Eli's POV:
I picked up my phone. Adam.
"What?" I asked lazily putting the tv remote down. I was at home alone and bored as hell.
"Why did you lie to Clare?!" Adam asked with anger in his voice. I snapped up.
"What?" I asked confused.
"About Carmen" I closed my eyes.
"What did Clare say?"
"She asked me who Carmen was, and then told me what happened"
"I told her the truth"
"Not all of it"
"Dude! What did you want me to do? You would have done the same"
"It's not right Eli"
"But I can't tell her, she'll hate me. Again!"
"Eli.."
"No Adam. And don't tell her anything, I'll kill you"
"Fine. But she's not stupid. She's gonna figure it out sooner or later" He said before hanging up. Great.
