"Clare! Will you hurry up already, you look perfect!" Yes, Alli says I look "perfect" but if you compared me to her, you would see that she's sadly mistaken. She, with her long dark hair, her red pumps, and cute purple skirt, made all the guys want her, and all the girls want to look like her.
And then there was me. Saint Clare. Goody-too-shoes Christian girl that I always was, wearing my flower headband, and my new flower print dress. Even if I didn't look "sexy" I thought I looked pretty good.
We were going to Imogen's party tonight, since she got accepted to Toronto University. She was pretty excited about it. Correction, she ran through the halls of Degrassi screaming bloody murder at how excited she was.
I didn't really want to go, but Adam made me, saying something about how he wanted me to meet our new roommate, Elliot, Elijah, Elanor? Something like that.
Since were going to be livin together soon, I wanted to make sure this new kid wasn't some egotistical asshole, the kind of people Adam normally attracted, depiste him being the complete opposite.
I grabbed my phone off my dresser, took one last glance at the mirror, and we headed for the door.
*At the party*
It reeked. Like, extremely reeked. You could smell the alcohol from a mile away, bottles all over the floor, not to mention the couple having air sex on the dance floor, aka, Imogen's living room.
"Baby Edwards, never thought I'd see you here! You know, with all the partying and-"
"Wow, four years at Degrassi, and you still cant manage to call me Clare, nice, Fitz."
"Come on, you know it's a cute name..now why don't you come over here Saint Clare, and show Fitzy-boy how bad you can get."
"Or, I could just walk away while you have fun with yourself." "Come on Edwards, I don't have all day.." He grabbed my arm, and I tried to jerk away, but was powerless.
"You can definetly let her go, now, Fitz. She doesn't want you. Then again, I don't even think a rat would want you, so youre free to go." I couldn't help but stare at him. His glistening green eyes, an dark hair. All of the rings on his fingers, I wanted to touch him, to see if he was real.
Come on Clare, of course he's real, stop being stupid.
"Listen Goldsworthy, you may think your all that, but don't forget, I kicked you and Julia's ass pretty well back home, so watch your mouth, emo boy."
"Emo boy" stepped up to him, gave him a dirty look, stood his ground for a few seconds, then preceded to turn around, and walk away. I shot Fitz a dirty glare, and went after the green eyed stranger.
It didn't take long to find him, sitting outside on a log, staring into space.
"I..I wanted to thank you, for, you know, helping me out back there. I know how big of a problem Fitz is, and I just wanted to-"
"You can save it. I just wanted to help you out. You don't need to say thank you." He looked up at me, and I was lost. His eyes were so fascinating, like looking into a forest. He must have noticed I was staring, because his mouth turned sideways, and gave me a smirk.
"Well, thanks anyways. Ill..see you around?"
"Yeah. Guess you will." He smirked, and left me standing there dumbfounded.
I walked back into the living room to find Adam, and tell him to take me home, because I didn't want to be here any longer. I was already too lost in the clouds.
"Woahh, what happened to you, Clare? You look like you've fallen in love!" He smiled at me, and I laughed at how silly he was sometimes.
"Just take me home, I don't wanna be here anymore, come on, we can go, and watch Twilight over and over again!" I smiled and smacked his arm, knowing that Twilight was secretly his weakness.
"But what about my-"
"Correction, our"
"Yeah, our, new roommate, Eli? You still need to meet him!"
Oh, right. The new roommate, joy.
"He's standing, actually, right..over… there!" he pointed.
I looked over, only to clash eyes with gorgeous green ones, Eli's.
New roommate? Huh? Yeah. This should be interesting.
