11th String - I Could Probably Do Better

It could be because of the simple fact that it was Clark singing, or it could mean something different, or nothing at all.

Let's learn to put the past behind us

Let love push through the door and find us

Just keep your heart wide open

So I can fix what's broken

Stay around maybe

I can be a better me

My mouth went agape slightly. I didn't want to overthink this song but it was so...perfect for our situation.

I don't know. I think it is, but I could only be thinking that. For all I know, it could mean absolutely nothing to Clark.

I don't want to assume but the way he's looking at me intensely while he sang made the butterflies in my stomach fly around uncontrollably and it makes me so confused.

Could Clark possibly feel something for me?

But that was impossible. Clark having feelings for me? Yeah right. Any other feelings he could possibly feel for me aside from annoyance are all in either a friendly or family way. That was just Clark. Most of time, he would treat me as of I were one of the boys. It's kind of insulting since I am an absolute girl. I just don't wear make up but that's it. That doesn't make me any less of a girl.

Clark drove me home after we ate at the village diner. I was really beat but heh, free food. So the second I see my bed, I jump on it and nuzzle my face into my soft pillows.

This day was very tiring. I don't have any other word to describe it. Or maybe my brain was just too tired to function properly.

One thing's for sure though, Clark drives me crazy. And it's nothing new.

I woke up the next morning in a very grouchy mood with no one to blame but myself. Clark had texted me last night with a really stupid joke and the conversation went on from there until we both realised that it was 2am. He had no problems because he could wake up any time he wanted when I had school. Damn.

The days passed by unusually fast. Clark had been working his arse off for his next album so it also meant that Jesse was busy which all resulted to none of them bugging me. I have to admit though, my days were kind of boring but it was fine. I didn't want to stress myself with handling them.

The annoying guy I bumped into and suddenly forced me on a date with him had made surprise appearances and he was persitant as hell.

I found out that he had recently transferred here and he only had one class with me -Thank God- and that he's on the football team and was practically very popular regardless of the fact that he was new.

I didn't care though. I wasn't a big fan of sports so it didn't matter to me. Half of the guys on the team are idiots. And I can't even remember his name.

It was Friday evening and I was on the sidewalk, walking-skipping home from work when a car stopped beside me.

Oh for the love of Audrye.

"Hey Jade. I was about to pick you up," Clark said after he rolled down the window of his Ferrari.

I raised an eyebrow at him, "Eh?"

Clark had a reason and I can already tell it isn't good. Well for me it probably isn't.

That's just how things work. Whenever Clark thought something was good, it was the opposite for me. That's one of the reasons why we always argue.
