The Top Ten Things You Need To Know About Me.
Clare and Eli like each other, so what could possibly stop Clare from saying yes to a date? TWOXSHOT
"Thanks for the ride home Eli." Clare said. It late at night. Eli and Clare had stayed late at the Dot to work on their English assignment.
"No problem. Anytime." he smiled. Now you dummy, his mind told him, don't chicken out. "Yeah. Hey listen the drive in is still open. Well only until this weekend, maybe we could catch a movie." Eli suggested. Clare looked down "What is it?" he said "Your parents?"
"No." Clare said
"Then what?"
"I like you, ok" she turned to face him "I like you a lot."
"I like you to. Hence why I asked you out." Eli was confused
"I know we hang out all time, but I still don't know much about you. I mean what are your likes? Favorite movies? Pet peeves," Clare said "I already fell for a guy once who I didn't really know" Clare told him and Eli said
"KC?"
"Yes. And it blew up in face. I cant do that again." she said "I am sorry Eli." and she climbed out of his hearse. Eli just drove away.

Clare and Eli kinda avoided each other the next day. Adam noticed how down Eli was
"Ok, I know you aren't Mr. Smiles, but dude, what gives?" he asked
"I asked out Clare," he began
"Awesome dude" he went to high five Eli but Eli didn't respond "That is awesome right?" Adam didn't understand
"Yeah you'd think. But she said no. because she says she doesn't know me well enough."
"Then let her get to know you." Adam suggested
"Oh gee I never thought of that." Eli voice dripped with sarcasm.
"I mean tell everything she needs to know. The good the bad, and well you got the ugly part down." Adam teased
"Oh thanks man." Eli said
"I'm serious. Just trust me." Eli though about it
"Your right." Eli smiled. He knew how he was gonna get little Ms Edwards to get to know him.
