Eli's POV

"This is priceless, you're hung up on the mystery girl" Adam said in a teasing tone taking a bite of his donut and shaking his head. Eli scoffed and pushed Adam with his free hand as he took a sip from his coffee as they walked to their class.

"I've already told you I'm not hung up on anyone. I don't get hung up on anyone especially some one night stand. You're obviously confusing me with your dumbass brother, you know the guy trying to turn a known whore in to a housewife" Eli said with chuckle.

"Ugh don't remind me" Adam said suddenly losing his appetite. "You should hear the constant recounting of how her hair moves and how her voice is like music to his ears. I swear every time I'm around those two, I feel like barfing" Adam said while rolling his eyes and tossing his donut away. "You would think since she's been such an absolute bitch to me since the moment we met that would make at least a little bit of a difference but of course not. In Drew's world, bitchiness is a turn on. I can't stand those two" Adam said slightly raising his voice.

Eli smiled a little, slightly amused at his friend's frustration and because he was glad that he was able to get Adam off his back. Truth was he was still thinking about the mystery girl. He couldn't stop himself. Every time he tried, something would remind him of her. This was a new feeling for him and he found it quite annoying. Not only was he constantly thinking about some girl whose name he didn't even know but Adam could now read his every emotion about her and use it against him. He didn't like not being in control of his emotions and feelings. He could barely hear Adam still talking as he collided with another body spilling his coffee all over himself.

"Oh damn it" he mumbled so softly no one could hear.

"Oh, oh I'm so so sorry. I'm such a klutz" as frantic voice rang. He looked down at the damage to his shirt and he chuckled.

"It's fine, I mean accidents happen" Eli said raising his head and making eye contact with the girl who's been plaguing his thoughts. He let out a gasp just as Adam exclaimed "mystery girl" while pointing at her. Eli turned to look at Adam and then back at the girl. He barely registered that the girl was wobbling and falling backwards. He didn't even realize he had tossed his cup on the ground and he had moved forward until he felt the weight of her in his arms.

"Oh shit, is she okay" Adam said walking backwards as Eli picked her up in his arms.

"Oh my god" a shrill voice yelled. Next, a short dark skinned girl came running up next to Eli and lightly shook her as Eli held her.

"Maybe we should take her to the nurse's office" Eli suggested backing away from the loud girl.

"Ye…yeah, let's do that" she said in a shaky voice. Eli looked Adam and softly nodded in the girl's direction. Adam mouthed 'oh" and moved closer to the girl putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sure she's fine okay? We'll go to nurse and find out we're worrying for nothing" Adam said soothingly. The girl looked at him and saw such sincerity that she was instantly comforted and she softly nodded. The three of them headed to Nurse's office while Adam continued talking to the nervous girl. "I'm Adam by the way and the knight in black nail polish is Eli" he said playfully earning a small from the girl.

"I'm Alli and she's-" she interrupted by a soft groan from the girl in Eli's arms.

Eli couldn't handle how both beautiful and fragile she looked in his arms. He had never felt such a strong to protect someone in his life. They made it to the nurse's office and Eli placed her down on the little couch in waiting room and sat on the edge. He pushed her out of her face as Alli explained the situation. The nurse went to a cabinet and came back with some packets. Eli moved out of the way and his spot on the couch was taken by the nurse. He backed up and stood next to Adam. She opened the packets and waved them under unconscious girl's nose. She inhaled sharply and sat up looking confused.

Clare's POV

"Where am I?" she asked softly rubbing her head.

"We brought you to the campus nurse after you fainted" Alli explained after running to her friend and giving her a tight hug. The nurse chuckled softly and stood up.

"Being a little disoriented is completely normal. I'll give you a few minutes" she said kindly as she walked away giving them privacy.

"We? Who's we" she asked Alli while trying to stand up.

"Adam and Eli" Alli said pointing to the two guys she failed to notice were in the room with her. She looked over the two as she slowly began to remember what happened before she passed out. The skinny guy wearing the beanie and the guy with the jet black hair. It was all too overwhelming. She needed to get out of there. She started to move towards the door but stumbled and was immediately caught by the guy with jet black hair.

"Hey now, take it easy there" he said in a smooth voice that gave her butterflies. More reason for her to get as far away from him as possible. She pushed herself away from him and held on to the door knob.

"Um, thank you…" she paused realizing she didn't know which one was Adam and who was Eli.

"Eli. I'm Eli and that's my bud Adam" he said with a smirk.

"Well Eli, thanks for your help but I'm fine" she said curtly. Eli was clearly taken aback by her tone and raised an eyebrow as she rushed out of the room. She walked as fast as she could but felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned and sighed in relief when she realized that it was only Alli.

"What the hell Clare? That is no way to treat someone who helped you"

"Alli, that was him" Clare said almost in a whisper.

"Him?" Alli repeated slowly in confusion. Clare narrowed her eyes at her and Alli's eyes widened in recognition.

"Really? Eli?" Alli exclaimed. Clare hit her arm and shushed her.

"Shhhh Alli" she whispered yelled while looking around.

"Look, I can't deal with this right now and I definitely can't take being near the guy I slept with but can't even remember . You were right, coming here today was a bad idea. I'm just gonna go home" her voice full of resignation.

Alli looked at her with understanding and nodded her head. Clare turned and started walking away.

"Wait!" Alli called to her and walked up to her. Clare looked at her and waited for her to continue. "What about Eli? I saw the way he looked at you. I think he's gonna wait some kind of explanation."

Clare sighed and crossed her arms over her chest.

"It is none of his business, Alli" she said in a strong voice. "I'm serious, do not tell him anything. He'll go on with his life and I'll go on with mine. I just want to forget I ever met him" she said in a harsh tone before turning and walking away again leaving Alli with a disappointed look and unaware of the green eyed boy who overheard everything.

*** So, I'm thinking since I'm not getting comments, good or bad, that this story really isn't interesting or just not good. So, I'm considering discontinuing it
