ALL THAT IS GOLD IS RUSTED
As my last class of Degrassi High let out, I waited on the steps outside for Alli, Adam and Eli to get out their last period classes. After about 2 minutes, Adam and Eli walked out of the front doors, laughing about something. "What took you so long?" I asked them and Eli said, "English ran a little late." I looked around and Alli was still nowhere to be found.
"What's taking her so long?" Adam asked, resting his back on the railing.
"Maybe she's fixing her make-up." Eli joked and me and Adam laughed. Finally, after what felt like 10 minutes, Alli walked out of the school building, smiling like a small child on Christmas. "Alli, we've been waiting forever!" I yelled and we started walking to Eli's hearse.
"You'll never guess what happened!" She said, with the giddiest voice I've ever heard come from her. "Drew asked me out!" I smiled at Alli and said, "Finally, you can get your head off that jerk of a boyfriend Johnny DiMarco." Alli laughed and we reached Eli's hearse.
I sat in the front and Adam and Alli sat in the back. "Where do you want to go passengers?" Eli said, starting the car. "Take us to The Dot!" I said and Eli nodded.
We arrived at the Dot about ten minutes later and went inside. Me and Eli sat together and Adam and Alli sat on the other side. Holly J came up to our table and asked, "What would you like today?" We all looked around and Adam said, "A large fry for all of us and a Coca-Cola for me and Eli?" Eli nodded and smiled. Holly J said, "OK, it'll be out in a few minutes."
When our food came, we all started eating it. We didn't mind eating it even though other people's hands have touched them, we were like the four musketeers. I ate all the fries I wanted and sat back into the booth. Suddenly, Adam's ringtone rang out. "Sorry guys, it's Fiona." Adam and Fiona have been dating for about 7 months and are in complete love.
"Hey baby."
"Yea, I'm hanging the gang."
"No, I'm not busy later."
"Ok, see you later." and Adam hung up the phone and stuffed another fry down his mouth. I laughed and Alli said, "Guys, I've got to go home. My family says I need to be home before going back out after school." Alli waved goodbye and left.
After about 5 minutes of talking, Drew walked in and sat down next to Adam. "Your lucky." Adam told him, "Alli just left." Drew looked at Adam, "I'm with Bianca now, me and Alli are history." Eli scoffed and said, "What do you want?"
Drew tapped his chin and said, "Oh yeah, mom says someone was calling the house for you and she wanted you home." Adam sighed and got out of the booth with Drew and they left. Me and Eli asked Holly J for the bill. "I got the bill, Ms. Edwards." Eli said and grabbed the bill. It was $5.59 and Eli put the money on the table with a $2 tip. We left the Dot and Eli dropped me off at my house.
"See you tommorow, Edwards." Eli smiled and closed the door behind me. I walked up to the front porch and heard the same greeting screaming I always heard when I'm not around. I opened the door and saw my mom and dad yelling at eachother in the middle of the kitchen. The minute they saw me they stopped yelling at each other just to yell at me, "Clare Edwards! Where in the world have you been?" I looked at the clock and noticed it was 6:00, "Sorry dad, I was at the Dot with my-" My dad started yelling at me again, "Where there was an armed robbery? I do not want you hanging around there any more!"
I ignored him and went to my room. I picked up my phone and called Eli,
"Clare, how's it going?" He asked.
"My mom and dad are on my case, they found out the Dot got robbed like 2 years ago."
"Oh yeah, someone who went to our school got shot, I think."
"Yea, but the guy who did it was arrested, right?" I asked.
"Of course. The place was surronded with cops. He had to give up."
I heard my door open and my mom said, "Clare, honey. Time for dinner and get off the phone."
"Eli, I got to go eat dinner. See you tommorow." and I hung up.
I got off my bed and went downstairs to eat dinner with my destined to doom parents.
