Just to let you know I don't own Degrassi in any shape or form
Clare's POV
Clare sat in front of her mirror gazing at herself. Noticing little things she had never seen before, like how naturally pink her cheeks were or how deeply blue her eyes were. Is it wrong to admire the color of your own eyes? She asked herself. If it was she didn't care. You've got to compliment yourself every once and a while or else you will never look pretty enough. There was a muffled buzzing noise coming from her bed. She stood from the chair she had been sitting on and jumped onto her bed. It was a text message.
Are you ready yet? I'm here.
It was Eli; we were going to the mall together. We had been friends for a while now and hung out constantly. I slipped into my black flats and carefully placed some bright pink lip gloss on my lips. I gave myself an once-over in the mirror and approved. I ran down the stairs and out the door. Eli stood outside the car awaiting my appearance.
"Wow Edwards, you clean up nice," His cheeks had a hint of pink while handing out the compliment.
"Thanks I guess…so are you ready to go?" he was staring at me a little funny.
"Oh right," he opened up my door for me as I slid into the hearse.
When we walked into the mall the scent of perfume and new clothes filled the air. We rode an escalator up to the second story and found a jewelry store. I begged to go in and look around. Eli didn't seem to care either way. He just kept giving me this funny, really happy look.
"Oh my goodness, look at these ear rings, their lovely," I gasped. They were little silver hoops with rhinestones along the outside.
"Your right Clare, they are pretty," he stated. Then his eyes became wide and then he had a smirk playing on his pretty pink lips. He had an idea, which couldn't be good. He picked up the little earrings and headed over to the small checkout counter. There sat an uninterested cashier.
"What are you doing?" I practically hissed into his ear.
"Buying you the earrings you like," he said so simply I wanted to smack him. I couldn't say another thing before he was paying.
"That will be $10.96," the cashier grabbed the money, gave us a small baggie with the earrings, and glared at us to leave.
"Here you go Clare, try them on," Eli said quietly handing me the tiny bag.
"You didn't have to do that you know. I don't have to have these," I couldn't look into his emerald eyes.
"I know I wanted to Edwards," he practically whispered. The next moment he had his hand in mine. I looked at our clasped hands and smiled. I looked back up into his eyes, his asking if this was alright, I gave a small nod and just kept gazing back into those gorgeous green eyes.
