A Look into the Future

Summary

This is just a story of what I think should happen when Clare and Eli finish college. It shouldn't be too long of a story… maybe 4 chapters… I'll post the first chapter and if I don't see that anybody likes it then I won't continue the story. Okay enjoy! =D

Clare POV

Did four years really go by that fast? Am I, Clare Dianne Edwards, really graduating college? It seems like just yesterday I was starting and now… wow I just can't believe it! After the graduation my parents are throwing some big party where I won't know half the people. Ever since the divorce… well let me explain… you see both my mom and my dad remarried. So not only will my immediate family be there but my step families will be there too. Darcy came back from Kenya last month. Oh I can't even begin to explain how much I've missed her. I had no one to talk to. About whom you may ask? Well, who do you think? Eli of course! Eli… oh I love that boy. Whenever he smirks I get that feeling inside my stomach and I blush. I can't help it that boy makes me feel wonderful inside. We've been dating since high school. He started college a year before me but we stayed strong even though we were 95 miles apart. He would come back every other weekend and during the holidays to visit. And occasionally I would go visit him… but that didn't happen very much because I didn't have a car. When I wasn't with Eli I was with Alli or Adam (in this story he is all guy... just wanted to point that out). Alli had Dave, Adam had Fiona, and I had Eli. When Drew cheated on Alli AGAIN, Dave was there to comfort Alli. I really think that Dave is good for Alli. Her parents finally accepted the fact that Alli really liked Dave and because he was Muslim they didn't mind as much. Fiona and Adam… well their relationship is kind of hard to explain. Fiona went off to college in New York and is currently some big shot fashion designer. .I probably wouldn't know that if Alli didn't tell me. After Adam graduates he's going to move to New York so he can be with her. Eli and I went to the same college he was just one year ahead of me… I still wear my purity ring if anyone was wondering and I plan on keeping it that way until I get married. OH MY GOSH I AM SO LATE! Where is Eli he was supposed to be here 15 minutes ago?

Eli where are you? I don't want to be late! :( – Clare

Chill Blue Eyes… I'll be there in 2 – Eli

I went outside to wait for Eli.

"Eli, come on we have to hurry. I can't be late!"

"Hi Clare, it's nice to see you" he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Eli I don't have time for your sarcasm right now. Let's go!" as I said this I hopped into Morty. I still can't believe Eli still has him but Eli refused to get another car.

As Eli climbs into Morty he says "What? No hello kiss?" Ugh why did he have to be so cute! I gave him a short peck on the cheek.

"That's better…but I would've preferred one on the lips."

"Later… please just drive or I'm going to be late to my own graduation!"

He started driving but then he asked me something and he almost seemed nervous.

"Hey Clare, I know you have your party but after your graduation but I want to take you out on a special… uhh umm date." Did he just say date? He hasn't used that word in awhile. Normally he would just say Clare let's go out to eat or let's go see a movie.

"Sure Eli. We just have to stay for an hour or so then we can go… if you don't mind me asking... what exactly will we be doing on this date?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out." he said with that smirk of his. I wanted to melt in my seat. I loved it when he became all mysterious. When we got I saw my parent and they made a big fuss over the graduation like I knew they would.

"Clare we have a surprise for you." my mom said and this made me curious.

"What kind of sur… DARCY!"

"Clare you didn't actually think I'd miss my own sister's graduation did you?"

"Well, actually… yes I did. When I was talking to you a couple nights ago you told me… oh just forget about it… I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE ACTUALLY HERE!"

"We'll talk later, but for now let's get to your graduation!"
