You Make Me Better
Chapter One:
"I'm so excited to be visiting Darcy in Africa. Hopefully, it will help me get my mind off of things."
"Are you sure you want to spend your whole Spring Break there, Clare?"
"Yes, I am positive. I really need this right now, mom."
"Okay, well, make sure you call me as soon as you get there, and hug Darcy for me, okay? And I love you."
"Love you too, mom."
Clare gets on her flight and arrives at the airport in Africa.
"CLAREEEEEEE! I'M OVER HERE! OMG, you look so different, and you've changed so much."
"Ummm thanks... so how have you been? I missed you a lot. We have so much to catch up on."
"Yes, we do. Let's go to the cabin and get you settled in."
They head to the cabin and settle in.
"So, how have you been here? How's school coming along?"
"We're almost finished. We just have to decorate the inside, and it's ready to , you tell me about what's been going on with you. Mom told me you were friends with a guy… hmmmmm."
"Well, I hope you have a lot of time right now, because it's a longggg story…"
"Of course I do. I'm free the whole time you're here."
"Okay, well, remember while you were at Degrassi, and we were walking up the stairs to the school, and I tripped and dropped my books, and that guy helped me pick them up?"
"Ummmm, oh yeah, the cute one."
"Well, we dated for a few months, and then this new girl named Jenna came to our school and basically stole him from me."
"That bitch! And is there a recent boyfriend?"
"Let me finish. Well, after him comes this new guy named Eli, and we had a lil' bit of a problem getting together, because he wasn't over his dead ex-girlfriend. But then, when we finally got together, we were good for a few months. Then he started smothering me, so I had to break up with him."
"Awww… Wow, sounds like you're having bad luck with the boys."
"I guess you can say that, but at our Spring Dance he crashed his hearse, because I said he didn't like it, and when I went to the hospital to see him, he said he knew I would come. Knowing that, I told him I needed space, because he was trying to manipulate me."
"Wait, whoa, he drove a hearse? That's gross. And I assume he was the Goth type, right?"
"Yes, he is. But the crazy thing is, I still miss him and want to be with him, but I don't think he is over his dead ex-girlfriend."
"Well, of course not. It's not like they broke up. You just need to give him time."
"Well, that's where this break comes in at; I think it will be good for both of us."
"I guess. Wow, kid, you have drama like I used to in Degrassi. Hmmmm... those were the days. So, do you want to go get something to eat?"
"Yes, I'm starving."
They walk to a nearby McDonalds and grab a bite to eat.
"I just can't get enough of McDonalds fries… yummy."
"Yeah, I can tell. You do look like you've gained a few pounds."
"Really! You think so? I don't see it."
"That's because it went to your ass… hehehehe."
"Whatever! I'm fine, thank Clare, don't look, but there's some creepy weird guy checking you out."
"I don't see anyone looking at me."
"I told you not to look, and that's because he just put his newspaper up to cover his face."
"Well, how about I go over there and say hi?"
"Yeah, maybe he thinks your purrtttyyy… hehehe."
Clare walks over to say hi to the guy looking at her.
"Umm… hello. I couldn't help but noticing you loo… hold on a sec." Clare takes the newspaper from the guy.
"ELI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
