I got your picture
-
School had just started up again about two weeks ago, but that didn't mean that Eli wanted to be in class. He sighed when he opened his wallet to pull out a dollar for the vending machine he was standing in front of. A picture fell out and when he picked it up, he realized it was of Clare. He heard footsteps. 'Speak of the devil...,' he thought as he looked up to see she was making sure no one was around before she made a bee line for the doors. It was the middle of the day, and Clare was leaving?

"Clare, what are you doing?" Eli asked as he put the picture back in his wallet, snack forgotten. She looked at him and smirked uncharacteristically.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" she said, pushing the door open to the school and slipping outside. He looked around quickly before running after her into the early fall air.

"Clare!" he called. She turned around and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"What now?" she sighed.

"I'm coming with you." He looked her in the eye and she nodded.

"Fine, but stay out of my way." She turned back around to continue in the opposite direction of the Dot.

Clare pulled out a set of keys, stopping in front of her house. Eli raised an eyebrow.

"You skipped to go home?" he asked, skepticism in his voice. She shook her head and tilted her head toward a Moped parked in front of her house. "Since when do you have a scooter?"

"Since over the summer." A snarky Clare? Eli blinked at her. She lifted the seat and threw her pack in after pulling out two helmets. "Coming?" He took one of the helmets and placed his bag in the seat as she pulled her helmet on over she short hair and buckled the strap. She kicked the stand up, got on, keeping one foot on the sidewalk to keep it upright, and started her scooter. Eli slid in behind her and she tossed, "Hold on tight," over her shoulder. He gave her a funny look that she didn't see, but did as she said. She pulled into the street.

"So where are we going?" he asked after ten minutes had passed.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" she said again, evading his question yet again. He glared at the back of her head.

I'm coming with you
