In this fanfiction, there are just a few small tweaks. Clare can sing. And…I guess one small tweak is all. Enjoy!
Clare quickly wrote notes in her think notebook as her teacher explained the directions for the project they were being given. She was a very studious girl. Focused completely on getting perfect grades. Well, almost completely focused. Clare Edwards was a singer, but she never showed it to anyone. Anyone. The only time she sang was by herself in her bedroom, or when she was home alone. And her voice was beautiful. Perfect, even. She is a short girl, with curly, light brown hair and blue eyes.
Clare was shocked back into reality when her teacher called her name, and she looked up. "Excuse me, could you repeat that?" she asked meekly, a small smile on her face.
"Of course, Clare. I was handing out partners. Clare Edwards, and Eli Goldsworthy. In my opinion, it's the perfect match. The writer, and the director."
As the teacher walked away, Clare looked over at the male at the desk beside her. She knew Eli Goldsworthy. He was the atheist at the school, who always wore dark clothing and a lopsided smirk. He had run over her glasses with his hearse. She smiled faintly at him, and turned her attention back to class.
Scurrying out of the class as the bell rang, Clare slightly jumped when someone grabbed her shoulder. She turned to see Eli. "Oh. Hi, Eli. What do you need?"
He threw her that famous lopsided grin, hooking his thumbs into his belt-loops. "Would you like to come to the library with me? To work on the play," he said softly, watching her closely.
Clare thought for a moment, and knodded with a smile. "Of course. I would love to," she said, her voice a little bit dreary. Her parents were going through a divorce, and she had been a little down lately. Sitting in a chair in the library, Clare clicked her pen, and took out a brand new notebook from her bag, writing on the cover in sharpie "Clare Edwards". "What do you want to base our skit on?" she asked, waiting to write on the inside cover. She saw that smirk appear on his lips again…and he simply said:
"Romeo and Juliet."
