Party Time
Eli's POV
"Why can't the school day be over sooner? It is only 12." I said to my girlfriend Clare Edwards. "It will be over soon enough. Now let's go get some lunch." She said. As we walked to the cafeteria I noticed how dark it was. "Why is it so dark, Clare?" I asked curiously. "I'm not sure," she said back. "Oh come on Blue Eyes. You are a terrible liar-" I said before being cut off with a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELI!" coming from the lunch room. I swear to God, I almost had a heart attack.
Adam, Alli, Drew, and Fiona were sitting in their usual table waiting for the two of them to come over and sit with them. "Look what we have, Eli!" screamed Alli from across the room. Adam held up a chocolate cake with dark frosting letters on it. I couldn't read what it said from far away. "Come on, Eli!" Clare urged him to hurry up to the table. "Wow guys. This is awesome. Thank you!" I said with a huge smile plastered on my face. "And this is just the beginning. Tonight is going to be amazing!" said Drew. For my birthday Clare and I… ,or should I say, Clare planned an evening of "fun" for all of us. I'm not going to lie. I am excited.
"Oh my god. This cake it delicious!" said Clare. "It should be. It cost enough." Said Fiona. "It is great, but did you really need to write "Happy Birthday ELIJAH" on it? What's wrong with just saying Eli?" I explained. "I did THAT to bother you." Stated Adam. "Of course you did. But I do like the black frosting." I replied. "I knew you would," said Clare. "Wow. What a nutritious meal we are eating." Said Adam in a sarcastic tone. "Hey it's Eli's birthday. Who cares!" said Drew. "Okay, okay. Girls, we are all going shopping right after school for our dresses. After we can change at Clare's. Right?" said Alli. "Yeah. My parents aren't home anyway." Said Clare. "Ok, so then you guys can come pick us up there at 7ish? Then we can go to the restaurant." Alli added. "Sounds like a plan. Where are we eating anyway?" Eli asked. "A fancy restaurant called Le Plaza." Fiona said. "No. No. No. I am not eating there it cost like $200 for a dinner for two let alone 6!" Eli said. "Calm down Eli! The owners are family friends with mine. We are good." Fiona assured. "You got yourself a good one, Adam." Eli said. "Trust me. I know." Adam replied.
No POV
After lunch there was three periods, math, biology, and English. After school Fiona's car arrived to pick up the girls, while Eli's hearse, Morty, was the boys' transportation.
Fiona's POV
"Okay, here comes the car. Now, when we get to the mall we only have 1 and a half hours to get everything, so no dilly-dallying." I said. "Calm down, Fi. An hour and a half is enough time. More than we need." Said Clare. "Speak for yourself! I have to look perfect for Drew." Said Alli. "Yeah we get it. You're in love with Drew Torres." Said Clare. "Yeah, and you're in love with Elijah Goldsworthy." I said to Clare. "Again with the Elijah business?" Clare asked. "Whatever. Eli. Elijah. Same thing. Now, can we get shopping? Tick tock!" Alli said pointing to her watch.
Clare's POV
"I need to look perfect for Eli. Okay, think black." I thought to myself. "CLARE!" Screamed both Fi and Alli. "You HAVE to try this on!" said Alli holding up a black bubble dress with a thick hot pink ribbon around the waist. I thought it was cute, dark, but still had a touch of me with the pick ribbon. "Yeah! Oh look at the shoes!" Said Fiona pointing to a pair of hot pink flats. "They would work perfectly with that dress! And you won't break your ankle in flats!" "Yeah, I guess I could try them on." I said. "You don't seem so excited about this. Do you want to find a new dress?" Said Alli. "No. I love the dress, but what about Eli?" I said. "What? Eli's going to LOVE it!" Fi said. "Okay, but if he doesn't I am blaming you." I said.
(After shopping) Clare's POV
After we finally got out of the mall I ended up getting the dress and shoes, Alli got a short cut, sleeveless, pink dress with white high heels, and Fiona went with a white dress with big waves on the skirt part and red heels. Fiona did my make up while Alli did my hair and then I did Ally's and Fi's hair and makeup. I wonder how the boys are doing?
Adam's POV (Eli's house)
"What did you bring?" Eli asked me. "Umm… jeans, a blue button down, white tie, converse, and a grey jacket." I answered. "I brought the same except a white button down and a black tie." Drew added. "Well, I need something that's going to blow Clare away." Eli said. "Just wear what you usually would. She loves you already." I said making kissing noises. "Save that for Fiona." Eli said. Drew laughed. "Ok. Black button down, red tie, grey vest, and my normal black combat boots?" Eli asked. "Perfect. Don't forget to brush your teeth guys" Drew said. "Already on it!" Adam yelled from Eli' bathroom.
Eli's POV
"Get in the hearse." I said. The boys obeyed. "So, dinner and then what?" Drew asked. "Sleepover at my house." Eli answered. "Oolala." The Torres brothers said simultaneously. "You know I'm not going to do anything with Clare. Just fun sleepover stuff with all my friends." I said assuring them. Then we arrived at Clare's house. We walked up to the door and knocked. And knocked again. No answer. What is going on?
Alli's POV (in Clare's house)
"Clare, answer the door!" I screamed. "Why can't you?" She asked back. "I am in the bathroom!" I practically sang. "I'll get the freaking door!" screamed Fiona in a frustrated tone.
Eli's POV
"Hello!" I yelled waiting for someone to answer. "Hell-" I yelled until I got cut off by Fiona opening the door. Adam's jaw literally dropped. "Hey guys." Fiona said. "Hey." Drew and I said at the same time while Adam just stared. "Drew!" Alli hopped down the stairs. Now it was Drew's jaw that was open. "Hey Alli…" Drew said quietly. "Where's my Clare Bear!" I screamed like her was calling a puppy. Just then Clare walked into the doorway from the kitchen and I almost fainted. She looks gorgeous. "Wow, Clare." I said. "Oh no, you hate it!" She said with a sad look. "No I love it! You look great. Beautiful actually." I said. "Thanks…" she said shyly with a smile on here face. I just stood there and smirked. Suddenly I heard a faint scream. "Eli! Come on! I am hungry!" Said Drew. "Yeah stop drooling over Clare and let's go!" said Adam. I placed a small kiss on Clare's mouth and pulled her out to Morty. "Let's eat!" I said.
Alli's POV
"Oh my god!" I said as we walked into the restaurant. "What go you think, Eli?" said Clare who was attached to him tonight. "It is awesome! You guys are the best!" Eli said in return and kissed Clare on top of her head. God, I wish Drew would do that to me. Eli and Clare are so cute together. Even Fiona and Adam are holding hands, but tonight is about Eli. Plus, something is bound to happen with Drew and I at the sleepover…
Drew's POV
Alli looks amazing tonight. I hope I have the guts to tell her how I feel later tonight, though. Sleep over here we come!
No POV
The six teens sat down. Alli ordered steak and mashed potatoes. Clare ordered grilled chicken and vegetables and Eli got the same. Drew and Adam got hamburgers, while Fiona got lobster. They all saved dessert for Eli's house.
