Clare strauted into the club with full confidence. Alomst enough to be called cocky. Before Eli died she would have never been able to do this, but after his fuale she changed. Tears pulled experimentally at Clare's eyes with the memory of Eli. No, Clare thought firmly, you're here to celebrat being 21 not to mourn your dead boyfriend. Clare could still remember exactly what Eli looked like.

"Yo, chica, lets hit the bar then go heat up the dance floor.." Oynx, one of Clare's wingmen, suggested. It was murmurs of agreement all around. Excitedly they raced to the crome bar.

"Four beers, dude." Scarlet, another friend, ordered. The bartender nodded and collected the drinks as Clare and Oynx caught up.

Eli lurked in the darkest coner of the shaky club. The doors screeched open and Eli gazed over at the newbies. Just some drunk girls. Only one of the girls seemed fimalar. Eli had to know who she was. Using only the wall he pushed off then started to follow the group of girls. He had to know, but there was no way his little mind could do it b only by a glance.

"That was 'If I had you' by Adam Lambert. Now lets get it started with some Usher." The DJ was trying to hard. Eli had to smile at his attempt. Suddenly the girls switched and headed toward the dance floor. They started to wanna-be club dance. But then the crowd started to pert and form a circle.

THANK GOD THE WEEK IS DONE

HANDS UP, SUDDENLY WE ALL HAVE OUR HANDS UP

As soon as the Usher song came on Clare ran to the dance floor, Scarlet and Onyx close behind. As soon as they started to dance the crowd parted. Scarlet leaned over and whipered something unlegible.

"What?" Clare asked.

"You have a fan!" Scarlet yelled. She pointed a finger at this Goth who couldn't take his eyes off of her. Clare rolled her eyes but still grabbed him onto the dance floor. He stumbled on and was really akward.

"Uh. I don't dance much." The vioce was monotone.
"Too bad. I do." Clare flirted

cause baby tonight the dJ got us fallling in love again

"What's your name?" the kid asked.

"Clare." she anwsered.

"What no last name.?" the Kid joked. Clre giggled a little.

" Edwards. Clare Edwards." She rolled her eyes at the suddenly stiff dude. but the persons sudden switch in mood frightened her alittle.

" What?" she asked. Suddenly the kid franticly searched himself. finally he found an old folded up picture. The kid nearly flung it at her. It was a picture of Her, Adam, and Eli all sitting around a nd laughing. It came out of the yearbook.

" How did you get this?" Clare demanded.

"Happy Birthday, Clare. My name is Elijah Goldsworthy."
