Okay, so I was in the shower and then BAM, inspiration. Very weird how that works. Anyways, here's what you need to know:
Clare, Fiona and Ali are best friends. Clare is very OOC. She isn't a Christian but she is still smart. And she wears skinny's and listens to rock music. And she straightens her hair and it's not super short, it comes to her shoulders.
Clare and Eli don't know each other… yet.
Ali and Drew are together.
Adam and Fiona are together, and Adam is NOT transgender.
Adam, Drew and Eli are really good friends.
I'm going to start off with a glimpse into later chapters and then go to the day it all started.
Eli's POV
I walked into the room, looking for her so I could apologize. I didn't see her but I heard the water running in the bathroom. I went to the door and knocked.
"Clare?" no answer.
"Clare, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-
I stopped talking when I felt something soak through my socks. I glanced down and saw water coming from under the door crack. I suddenly felt really scared. I didn't bother in saying anything else, I just barged in. And I couldn't believe what I was looking at…
5 days earlier…
Clare's POV
It was the second last day of school before spring break. Normally you would expect all the girls to scream with excitement, well, not me. I really could care less about spring break, it's not like I have anything to do. Well my birthday is during it but I never celebrate it anymore.
It was after school and Ali and I were sitting at the picnic table just talking. Well actually she was talking and I was pretending to listen. She was going on and on about how her and Drew are going to have an amazing time together this spring break. I was just listening to my IPod without her knowing. All of a sudden we heard a squeal and we both looked over to see Fiona with a huge smile on her face as she ran to us.
"Guess what!" she squealed. Ali and I were about to answer but she cut us off.
"Never mind I'll tell you. We are all going to my cabin for spring break!" she squealed again and soon Ali joined her.
"Wait, can I invite Drew?" Ali asked.
"Of course, I'm bringing Adam" Fiona said. "Oh and no parents, so we get to do whatever we want" they then started squealing again.
"Uh, thanks Fi but no thanks" I told her.
"What? Clare you have to come. You're the life of the party. Plus, your birthday is during spring break so we can give you a party." I smiled and laughed a little. She was right; I am always the wild one. But my smile faded after she said the end of the sentence.
"You know I don't celebrate my birthday. Besides, you and Adam will be together at all times and same with Ali and Drew, so that makes me the fifth wheel; again." I told her.
"Not true. Adam is inviting someone. And Clare, please let us do something for you, you deserve it." Fiona said.
"Who?" I asked changing the subject.
"Uhh, I think he said his name was Eli" she shrugged.
"Wait, you mean that gothic kid?" Ali asked. Fiona nodded. "Oh he's hot. Oh don't tell Drew I said that" we just laughed and nodded.
"I didn't even know Adam knew him" I said.
"Yeah neither did I, but apparently they are really good friends." Fiona said.
"Speak of the devil's" I said looking behind them. Adam and that Eli guy were walking up to us, along with Drew. How did Drew know him?
"Hey" Adam said before kissing Fiona on the cheek. Drew did the same to Ali.
"Sup?" I asked.
"So did Fiona tell you guys about the cabin?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, but I'm not sure if I'm going"
"Come on Clare, it won't be as much fun without you there. Plus, your birthday is soon" Adam pleaded with his puppy dog eyes and then smiled as he ended the sentence.
"Adam, you know I don't celebrate my birthday."
"Please" he started giving me the puppy dog eyes. He knows I can't say no to them.
"Ugh, fine, but if you guys go against my wishes and throw me a party, I'll leave."
"Actually, the only way you'll get home is if you walk, and if you did, you might get eaten" Adam said. I stood up in front of him.
"I'll take my chances." Everyone laughed except for that Eli guy. I glanced over at him and back at Adam.
"Oh sorry, guys this is Eli, Eli this is Fiona, Ali and Clare" Adam said.
"Hey" everyone said at the same time.
"Hi" is all he said.
"Well see you guys tomorrow" Drew said before walking away with Ali.
"Yeah, we have to go too. Bye" Fiona said pulling Adam along.
"Text me" I yelled out to them. They both nodded.
"And then there were two" I heard Eli say.
"Oh, so he speaks" I smirked. He just looked up at me, and that's when I noticed his eyes. They were the most gorgeous green I have ever seen. I literally felt my knees got weak. I then moved my gaze to his lips and that sexy smirk of his. Did I just say sexy?
"You know staring is rude" I snapped back into reality.
"Oh sorry. I kind of zone out a lot." I tried making and excuse.
"Just admit it; you were staring at me because you think I'm irresistible." I gave him the 'are you freaking serious!' look. I walked up to him so our faces were only inches apart.
"In your dreams" I told him. He stepped closer to me.
"Indeed" my breathing hitched and my heart started pounding. What was going on, I just met this boy, and he was flirting with me. And I think I like it. Wait what! I just met him!
"Well, I got to go. See you tomorrow" he said. I nodded and he walked away. I sighed and started walking home. I put my ear phones in my ears and walked down the sidewalk. It started raining. Great, just what I need.
I put up my hood and started walking a little bit faster, until a hearse pulled up beside me. What the hell is a hearse doing driving up the road?
"Need a ride?" I heard someone asked. I glanced over and saw Eli with the window rolled down.
"Why would I get inside a hearse with a guy I just met 10 minutes ago?"
He shrugged. "Just take a risk"
I glanced up ahead of me. There was still a while before I got home. I looked back over at him and nodded before getting in. The ride was silent so I decided to break it.
"Why do you drive a hearse?" I asked looking at him.
"I like it. It's different" he glanced at me and smirked. There was an awkward silence.
"So, how do you know Adam and drew?" he glanced over at me and then back to the road.
"Adam is in my English class and he introduced Drew to me" I nodded.
"I didn't even know you guys knew each other at all."
"Well he talks about you all the time. He says you guys are really close"
"Yeah, we are" he just nodded as we pulled up to my house. I was about to get out but he grabbed onto my arm.
"Wait, it's my turn to ask questions." He smirked.
"Okay"
"I overheard your conversation with Adam, why don't you celebrate your birthday?" he asked. my heart just stopped.
"Uh… it's kind of personal."
"How personal?"
"If I tell you, do you promise not to bring it up again?"
"I promise"
I sighed and then began. "My sister died, and I figured, if she can't have a birthday, then why should I?" I whispered while looking at my lap. I got a small glance of him. I looked into his eyes and I saw confusion and sympathy.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know. I'm sorry I even brought it up."
"No it's okay. You didn't know. Thanks for the ride"
"No problem" he finally let go of my arm and I got out and walked in the house. After I closed the door I yelled out to my mom, who was probably drunk.
"Mom I'm home" I yelled. "not that you care" I whispered to myself. I didn't get an answer so I just walked upstairs to my room. I walked by my mom's room and I heard moaning of pleasure. I rolled my eyes. She brought home another guy.
I walked into my room and sat on my bed before pulling my phone out. I started dialling a number.
*ring*
"Hello?" I heard Fiona ask.
"Hey Fi, it's Clare. Do you mind if I spend the night at your house? My mom has… company"
"Sure Clare, I don't mind at all. I'll pick you up in 20?"
"Sure, thanks"
"No problem, bye"
"Bye."
I hung up my phone and went to my closet to grab some clothes. I didn't feel like going home tomorrow so I grabbed enough clothes so it would last me the week, since were going to the cabin for spring break. I grabbed about 7 pairs of skinny jeans and 10 shirts. Some t-shirts, some tank-tops and a few party outfits. I grabbed my straightener and my make-up case. I went to the bathroom and got my necessities, then went back into my room. I grabbed my laptop and my charger for it and my cell phone. I was looking for my IPod until I realized it was in my pocket. I then grabbed my duffel bag and shoved everything in it. I heard a honk and I knew it was Fiona. I went into the hallway and I noticed the moans had stopped.
"Mom, I'm spending the night at Fiona's and tomorrow were going to her cabin for spring break"
"Okay, have fun" she yelled out and then giggled. I'm guessing the guy she brought home started to pleasure her some more.
"See you next week" I yelled out. She didn't answer and I rolled my eyes before running downstairs and out the door.
I jumped into Fiona's car and we drove off.
"Enough clothes?" she asked.
"I didn't want to go home tomorrow so I just brought everything with me tonight." She just nodded. The rest of the ride we just had some girl talk. Once we got to her place I put my bags in her guest room. I then changed into something more comfortable. I put on some sweat pants and a sweater and pulled my hair back into a pony tail. I grabbed my laptop before I went into the living room with Fiona.
I sat down on the couch and turned my laptop on. As soon as it turned on I went onto Facebook. Fiona just sat there watching TV until she got a text. I glanced over and she had the biggest smile on her face.
"Adam?" I asked. She nodded and started texting furiously on her phone.
I moved my gaze back to my laptop and I signed in. I had 5 notifications from people commenting on pictures I was tagged in, 2 messages; one from Ali saying how were going to have a blast this spring break and 1 from Adam saying sorry about bringing my birthday up. I then noticed I had a friend request. I clicked on it and it said Elijah Goldsworthy. I didn't recognize the name so I clicked on it and I saw the picture. It was Eli. He wasn't looking at the camera; he was staring off somewhere else while he was leaning against a tree. I giggled a little and then accepted his friend request. About 5 minutes after I heard the little ding noise, saying I had an IM. It was Eli. I smiled without intending to.
Eli: hey
I quickly responded
Clare: hey
Eli: again I'm sorry about what I asked.
Eli: and not I'm even more sorry because I just brought it up right after I said I wouldn't… gahh, I'm so stupid
I couldn't help but laugh.
Clare: like I said before, it's okay. But just try not to bring it up again, or I'll go savage on your ass :P
Eli: savage eh? I wouldn't mind seeing that… ;)
My mouth dropped. Was he flirting with me again? Well, two can play at that game.
Clare: Who knows what can happen…
Eli: haha, wow…
I was confused now.
Clare: What?
Eli: we just met today and here we are acting like we go way back
He was right, we did just meet and now were… flirting? I don't really know, but I do know that I feel like we could actually be friends.
Clare: haha, that's cause I'm just that awesome, so you want to talk to me.
Eli: oh really?
Clare: yup, just admit it, you want to get to know me :P
It took him a little while to reply.
Eli: okay fine, I admit it…
My eyes widened. Did he just say what I think he just said? How am I supposed to answer to that?
Clare: well, lucky for you, were spending spring break together
Eli: we are?
Clare: well that is if your going to Fiona's cabin. She told me Adam invited you.
Eli: oh yeah, he did. I wasn't really planning on going but…
Was he going to finish? He didn't and I was getting impatient.
Clare: but what?
Eli: but if your going, I might change my mind
I started smiling without knowing. What is this boy doing to me?
"What are you so happy about?" Fiona asked. I was about to answer but she looked over my shoulder and read the conversation.
".god. you like him don't you?" she said nudging me.
"No… maybe… I don't know" I sighed.
"Well who knows, a lot can happen in a week, especially of your staying at a cabin with no parents" she smirked. I rolled my eyes. "Besides, I think he likes you"
I glanced at her and then back to the computer. Suddenly, something Eli told me just popped in my head. Just take a risk.
Clare: I'll go if you go
I hesitantly pressed send and waited for his answer. once I heard the ding I quickly read what he said.
Eli: See you there blue eyes :)
Blue eyes? did he just give me a nickname?
Clare: Guess you will :)
Elijah Goldsworthy has signed out
I sighed as I logged out and closed my laptop. I looked over at Fiona, who was just smiling at me. I'm guessing she read the rest of the message.
"He is so in to you" she smirked. I rolled my eyes and we began laughing. We then decide we should go to bed, it's going to be a long week.
So? What do you think of the first chapter? I personally love it :) haha I just had to say that. Anywyas, please tell me what you think in a review ! :)
