Keep Hoping

Chapter One

"It's going to be so romantic Adam." I said walking down the hall.

"Sounds like it will be" He replied as we walked down the hall to our writing class. Today was the last day until spring break, and I was going to take Clare somewhere special for are 1 year anniversary. But that was going to be tomorrow, today I need her to pack her bags.

"Hi Eli, Adam." Clare greeted us as we walked into the room.

"Hey Clare." Adam said taking his seat across from Clare.

"Hello Blue Eyes" I said taking my seat in front of Clare. "You will need to pack your bags tonight. We are going somewhere tomorrow."

"And where would be we going?" She asked.

"I can't tell you. You will just have to wait and see." I said.

"Eli, can you come here please?" Miss Dawes. I looked at Clare and smiled, then got up and walk to Miss Dawes. Miss Dawes was telling me something about how I am to wordy when I write but I was not listen, I just overhearing Clare talking to Adam. Let's face it, Clare cannot whisper.

"Do you know what he is talking about?" Clare asked Adam.

"Sorry I promised not to tell." I heard Adam reply.

"Oh ok Miss Dawes. I will try next time." I said making it seem like I was listening, even though I don't know a word Miss Dawes just said. I walked back to my seat smiling at Clare's pleading face, I could tell she wanted to me to tell her what I has planed. I just shook my head, saying no and sat down. Then Miss Dawes went on to her lesson for the day.

I spent the entire day thinking about what Eli is planning for tomorrow. I know that is our one year anniversary, but what is he planning? I needed to find out, but there was no way Eli is going to tell me before tomorrow. But tomorrow could not come any slower! It's like time just slowed down.

Finally the final school bell rang, and I walked to my locker from my last period class. And who else do I see but Eli. "So I will need to know what to back for a trip tomorrow. I don't want to go unrepaired." I said walking to my locker.

"All you need is a few pairs of clothes and a bathing suit." He replied with a smirk on his face.

"A bathing suit?" I asked.

"Yes, no more questions you will just have to wait and see." He said closing his locker. By then I was all packed up and ready to go home. Eli and I walked to his car. And he drove me home.

We pulled up to my house and I was ready to leave, my hand was on the door handle ready to open the door and walk out when Eli grabbed my elbow. Then he pulled my in a kissed me. "See you tomorrow, bright and early." He said smirking.

I did not know what to say, I was speech less. "Y-ya, see y-you th-then" I finally managed to choke out. Then I walked out the door.

(Eli's Pov)

I still had the image of Clare's eyes, her beautiful blue eyes, stuck in my mind as I was driving home. Then I pulled up to my house. I could not wait for tomorrow, for when I take Clare to the Beach. She told me she has always wanted to go there. She said that she has not been to a beach ever since her sister Darcy left, and she really missed it. It was the perfect thing for our one year anniversary.

I'm sorry I know that this is a filter, but it's kinda important I have not gotten to the main party just yet. that should come next chapter.
