Matt walked in the living room with a soda and saw David in his chair concentrating on his phone. Normally, he wouldn't care but he was plagued by how much time Clara was spending with David. It bothered him.

They were always seen together at the library hovered over her tablet acting very secretive. All he knew was she was helping David with something on the computer but that didn't make sense Clara was terrible with computers so what was going on?

With his suspicions nagging him Matt plopped on the couch studying him wondering if he was texting her. David noticed Matt and looked at him strangely. "Um, why are you staring at me?" He shrugged opening his soda. "I'm not besides there's no law that says I can't look at a friend using their phone."

"Well, if it eases your mind I was using the calculator on it to balance my checkbook." David said sarcastically."Thanks for the ridicule, I appreciate it." He grumbled rolling his eyes.

David knew that sarcastic tone and set aside his checkbook and phone. "Okay, what's wrong?" David asked. "Why do you care?" Matt muttered.

He leaned forward looking at him concerned. "Because you've been acting weird lately so naturally I'm kind of worried."

Matt scoffed. "Oh, you're concerned about me, now? Gee thanks!" He looked at him funny. "What is your problem?" Matt just glanced down at the floor and said nothing. "Come on, what's going on?" He said.

Matt sighed folding his arms. "What does it matter? You'll make some sort of smart ass remark because you can't help yourself."

"That's not fair, give me a chance." David protested. He shrugged. "Fair enough. What do you think of Clara?"

David gave a shrug. "Well, she's nice, why?"

He shook his head wagging his finger. "No,no,no don't give me that innocent answer crap; she's a girl like Amy! I know you've noticed her!" Matt blurted out frustrated. He scoffed. "Okay, you're not making any sense." "Just answer me!" Matt snapped.

David sighed exasperated. "Look, the only thing I've noticed about her is she has two eyes, two ears, two legs and breathes, satisfied?" He groaned. "You see? I knew you were going to do that." He rubbed his eyes. "Enough with the damn riddles just tell me what the hell this is about!"

"Alright, do you think Clara's pretty?" He asked. "She's okay but I prefer Amy," David shook his head. "Why are you asking me this?"

Matt leaned back running his hand through his hair. "Clara has been acting strange," He sighed. "She's always busy and hardly ever has time for me and...I'm scared, alright?"

David bit the inside of his cheek. "And you think this has something to do with me?"

"I never said that." He replied. David stood from his chair. "Well, that's what you're implying and there isn't. Right now I'm trying to save my own relationship but whatever issues you're having with Clara you need to talk to her."

He looked at him. "I wasn't implying anything and I'm not responsible for this drama." David pressed his lips. "So this is my fault,right?" Matt didn't respond just looked down at the carpet but his silence gave David his answer. It stung but he didn't let it show.

He scoffed shoving his hands in his pockets. "You know, I've got so many people against me right now I don't think I care anymore so if you want to add yourself to that list knock yourself out," He turned and walked out of the room. "Good night." David muttered.

Matt sat there for a few minutes processing what was said. Maybe he was wrong, maybe he was paranoid deep down Matt wanted to be. He just hoped for the sake of their friendship he was.

The next evening Matt was at the library taking notes for a medical exam when Brittney walked towards him her finger nails tapping on the table. He groaned under his breath before looking up at her. "Can I help you?"

"Yeah, have you seen David? We're in the middle of my tutoring session and he's disappeared." She said annoyed. Of course he knew where David had gone, he also knew he wasn't coming back but he wasn't going to tell her that.

Matt shook his head. "No, sorry." She arched her eyebrow unconvinced. "You know I don't believe you, chinny."

He sighed. "First off don't call me that and second too bad cause' I haven't seen him." Brittney bit the inside of her cheek nodding. "Okay, thanks." She replied simply and left. Matt thought that was too easy but shrugged it off and kept writing.

At the same time Clara walked in looking for Matt. She knew had been busy with helping David and hadn't been spending much time with him. She was hoping it wasn't too late to make it up to him.

Clara found Matt and slowly approached the table. He recognized her charm bracelet and glanced at her briefly before returning to his writing. Clara sat in front of him tilting her head attempting to make eye contact. "Hi." She smiled. "Did you want something?" Matt asked plainly. Clara recognized that tone. This wasn't going to be easy.

"I just missed you." She replied. "Oh,really?" He scoffed. "Yeah." She said shyly. "You have a funny way of showing it." Matt grunted standing up to fetch another book. Clara sighed and followed him.

She leaned against the bookshelf. "You're mad at me, huh?" "Well, I'm not exactly happy." He rolled his eyes. Clara nodded. "I'm sorry, I know I've been busy but I'm not anymore," She lowered her eyes briefly before glancing up at him. "Is there a way I can make it up to you?" She asked softly. Matt wanted to stay mad but his heart was no match for those beautiful doe eyes and deep down he knew there was no way she hurt him.

He smiled taking her hand. "What did you have in mind?"

Clara smiled biting her lower lip. "Well, Amy and David are going out tomorrow night so how about we go out, too; just the two of us?" Matt grinned. "Really?" She nodded. "If you want." He smiled gently stroking her cheek. "I'd like that." Checking to make sure the librarian wasn't around he leaned forward giving her a tender kiss neither one noticing Brittney back at his table briefly glancing at his contacts list on his phone for David's number before putting it back and calmly walking away smirking.

A/N: Hi, sorry the update took so long. So what did Brittney want with David's number? What is her evil plan? Will it work? Do I know the answers? Yep, I do but you got to wait until the next chapter, sorry! :) (Feel free throw in the evil laughter if you want :D)
