Watching his hearse drive down my street, I sigh at the thoughts I have about this boy. I hardly know him, and we are as opposite as black and white-literally. He wears all black, and I hardly wear anything dark colored. He's the bad boy type, and I'm a Christian with a purity ring. He drives a hearse; I get a ride to school from my mom.

Nevertheless, something about him keeps him in my thoughts all day and all night. I shake my head in disbelief. I promised I'd never like anyone after what happened with KC. I wasn't going to let a bad boy with an adorable smirk make me break my promise.

"Better go see how my parents' talk is going." I thought.

I walk in the door and right away, I hear screaming, "How could you do this? Are you trying to ruin our family?" My mother screams with tears in her eyes.

"Everybody makes mistakes! It was a one-time thing. Give me a break!" My dad says angrily.

"You were sneaking around with another woman for four months! How can you call that a one-time thing?"

I run upstairs as fast as I can, trying to hear as least of what they're saying as possible. I walk in my room and slam my door. Of course, they don't say anything about how I shouldn't slam my door—they haven't paid much attention to me for quite some time now. Ever since the fighting has been going on, it's like I've become their last priority.

I turn on my laptop and put my iTunes playlist on shuffle. I turn up the music all the way to drown out the fighting. Before I can even start to work on my English essay, a little IM window pops up on my screen.

eli-gold49: hi there, english partner

I sigh as soon as I see who it's from. Keep it cool, Clare. Don't make yourself sound like you've been waiting for him to message you.

clare-e23: hey

eli-gold49: what u up 2?

clare-e23: trying 2 work on my essay

Maybe that sounded a little harsh. I don't want him to think I don't want to talk to him, but I don't want him to think I want to, either. Ugh, how confusing!

eli-gold49: should i let u go?

Uh-oh. Now what do I say? I guess I could flirt a little bit…

clare-e23: no

eli-gold49: sounds like u want 2 tlk

clare-e23: guess ur rite

eli-gold49: about wat?

Uhm…

clare-e23: how about how b/c of u i have detention 2moro?

Of course, I was just kidding. There was nothing I wanted to do more, than spend an extra hour sitting next to Eli. Okay, who was I kidding? I so liked him.

eli-gold49: its not my fault! u decided to skip

clare-e23: u were the 1 who gave me the idea

eli-gold49: u didn't have 2 listen to me

clare-e23: but i did

eli-gold49: how is that my fault?

clare-e23: idk. it just is

eli-gold49: well that's not fair

clare-e23: life isn't fair

By then, I was getting a bit upset because my parents' screaming was still going on downstairs.

eli-gold49: something wrong?

clare-e23: no

eli-gold49: that's what they all say

clare-e23: who's they?

eli-gold49: the people who deny that something's wrong

What was I supposed to say? How the only thing completely right with my life right now was him? How he was the only one who seemed to pay any attention to me anymore?

clare-e23: …

eli-gold49: exactly. if u need 2 talk, I'm all ears

I know I really shouldn't tell him my problems. I'd hate to make him think of me as a baby. But for some reason, I felt safe with him. I figured he would be the best person I could talk to. He hardly knows me, but yet he understands me so well.

clare-e23: when u left, my parents were fighting again. i guess my dad had an affair :(

eli-gold49: im sorry

clare-e23: don't b sorry, its not ur fault

eli-gold49: i kno

Sometimes this boy made no sense.

clare-e23: wats that supposed 2 mean?

eli-gold49: that its not my fault ur parents are fighting. but that doesn't mean it isn't my fault u aren't happy

What was that supposed to mean?

clare-e23: huh?

eli-gold49: i could make u happy, clare

Awh!

clare-e23: how so?

eli-gold49: let's just say we both need somebody

Oh my gosh.

clare-e23: ur rite

I thought about how he was such a loner. He only had one close friend that I knew of. I felt kind of bad.

eli-gold49: well i better let u work on ur essay. can't wait to read it 2moro

Oh great, we have to write an essay about what we think true love is. Mrs. Dawes must just love planning ways to make me as embrarrassed as possible. Only this project will be one we have to do with our English partner. So basically tonight, I have to work on some ideas for our essay.

clare-e23: ya. im gonna brainstorm some ideas 4 the essay

eli-gold49: k i will 2. when r we going to work on it 2gether?

clare-e23: how about after detention 2moro we go to my place?

eli-gold49: sounds great. its a date ;-)

With that, he signs off leaving me speechless. Oh, how I cannot wait for tomorrow.
