Falling all over again
Clare's pov
The wind whipped my hair furiously as I sat on a picnic bench outside Degrassi with Eli. I leaned over Eli's new paper entitled
I think I'd gone through like two red pens editing it already, I now understood why Eli was in a class for sophomores even though he was a Junior. "There, I think I'm finally done editing this bloodbath essay" I said working on keeping the sarcasm intertwined with my words. " Hey, watch it Edwards, my "bloodbath" essay is better than your vampire, hippy rainbow one, what is this a script for a Dane cook show" he teased holding it up in the air just out of my arm's length. Finally figuring out that this wasn't going to get it from this I climbed up on top of the picnic bench and grabbed his arm trying to grab it from his death grip on it. The wind picked up to about 40 mph and being my normal, clumsy self picked that particular second to trip. With a surprised little gasping-scream I fell off the end of the tabletop of the picnic table, but instead of a sharp painful thud on the ground, I felt strong arms holding me. I looked down to see none other than Eli holding me by the waist to keep me from falling another two feet to the ground. He set me down then and said with amusement in every angle of his voice " Blue eyes, can't you stop being your normal blundering self long enough to tell me what is wrong with my "Bloodbath" essay." I stuck my tongue out at him " oh very mature today aren't me Clarebear." I smacked him on the shoulder as my cheeks already rose colored I was sure turned pink again. " Hey, ya know Clare most guys have to be married to suffer this kind of abuse." I grinned and he flashed my favorite and his signature grin as a put wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped mine around my hips. " Are you asking me to marry you?" I asked finding this whole thing amusing now, "no" he replied "I want to remember that day forever and you smack me all the time." I rolled my eyes at him and suddenly it was totally worth the detention for PDA, and he leaned in and kissed me and I kissed back, he licked my bottom lip, waiting for permission for entrance. I let him in and our tongues danced perfectly in sync, we broke apart finally when we were both gasping for breath. As if on cue the bell rang ending our lunch and we hurried to gather our books to head inside for math and french. " try not to discover a define number for infinity today" Eli teased and kissed my cheek quickly before heading to french class. I sighed the happiest sigh ever known and thought to myself " every second I spend with Eli, he keeps me falling all over again."
