Disclaimer: I don't Degrassi, Eclare or any references I refer to in this story. I also don't own Munro Chambers, which is definitely a shame (; lol.
Note: inspired by the song 'Ho Hey' by the Lumineers'
"1,2,3 I belong with you, you belong with me you're my sweetheart. I belong with you, you belong with me you're my sweetheart"
It was a typical Saturday afternoon. The Edwards-Martin house was silent. The adult figures were out running errands while the two teenagers wandered around doing their own things. It was a beautiful spring day but everyone was inside. Jake was munching on food downstairs while Clare locked herself in her bedroom.
Clare sat on her bed, her legs crossed beneath her, as she intently read her book. Her iPod sat her stereo and was playing music methodically while the door was only open enough to see a small sliver of her room. She hummed along to the familiar tune and tapped her fingers nails against the pages in her book to the beat. Clare's phone continuously buzzed next to her, informing her she had text messages but she felt determined to finish the last five pages of her book before leaving the house. As Clare read the novel, she unconsciously twirled her soft hair between her fingers as she drifted off into the fantasy land of her book.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on her bedroom door and manly voice from the hall.
"Mail's here." Jake exclaimed as his voice trailed off down the hall.
Clare smiled at the thought and, coincidentally, finished her novel just in time. She closed her book and hopped off her bed, sliding the small book back into her book shelf. She grabbed her phone, noticing a few texts from Alli and one or two from Eli. Clare placed the cellphone into her pocket then skipped down the hall and galloped down the steps, her brown curls bouncing on her shoulders.
Clare walked into the living room, examining the coffee table for the mail then frowned, in no attempt of finding any sign of it. She then peaked into the kitchen and grinned at the sight of multiple envelopes lying on the counter. Clare frantically searched through the pile, sorting junk from bills and Jake's mail from hers. She took her pile and walked over to the couch, lazily falling down on the sofa to sit the within the familiar brown cushion.
Clare opened a few letters from colleges and to no avail, got accepted into most of them. Her grades were marvelous and her record was clean so she knew she'd have a good assortment of colleges to choose from although, her main concern was NYU. Her boyfriend, Eli was accepted and ever since the fiasco at the Toronto Interpreter, she had no interest in working for them so she set her hopes on going to NYU with Eli. Clare figured that if she also got accepted to the college, Eli and Clare could remain a couple rather than struggling to maintain a long distance relationship.
After opening most of the envelopes with her name on it, she saved the NYU letter for last. Clare nibbled on her lower lip as her heart raced. She gently ripped open the envelope and pulled out the letter. She took a deep breath before unfolding it and reading what it had to say about her future.
What does it say guys? Ahhh! So, I think this may be a short story. Like a two-shot? Or a three-shot? I don't think there will be much to it unless I get good reviews… Then maybe I can make it longer..? (: Let me know what you guys think!
