Clare's POV:
Life sometimes takes you to crazy places. I am now living proof of that. It all started in high school, Degrassi. I met Elijah Goldsworthy, and fell head over heels in love. We always talked about forever, getting married, having babies. Currently, I haven't heard from him in three years, I don't even think he still lives in Canada. On the other hand, we have Alli. She couldn't stay on the same guy for more than 5 minutes, and now she is getting married to her high school sweetheart, Drew. Which leads us to wear I am now, standing alone in a casino in Las Vegas, at her wedding reception, drink in my hand, ready to hit up the poker tables. Aren't I a lucky girl? Ha, that's funny.
I sat down at a table, and glanced up at the dealer. I swear I heard my heart just hit the floor. There he was. Eli.
"Eli? Is that you?" I asked.
His eyes widened,"Clare Edwards? Where the hell have you been? Get over here" He walked around the table and gave me a huge hug. He still smelled just like he did in high school, comforting.
"Eli! How have you been?"I ask, smiling at him.
He gave me his famous smirk," I have been pretty good, living up the joys of being a card dealer" Still so sarcastic.
I giggled,"How did you of all people end up in Vegas?"
He clutched his chest, like I hurt him, "Ouch Blue eyes, is that a jab at my life style?" He called me blue eyes!
Once again, I giggled, "Yes, as a matter of fact, it was" And I stuck my tongue out at him.
"I really missed you Clare" Eli said, serious for once.
I gave him a warm smile, "I really missed you to, we should catch up. When do you get off?"
He checked his watch," About 15 minutes. Do you want to wait?"
"Absolutely" I say.
