Terrible Summary, i apologize. But basically Clare moves to the neighborhood, her and Eli start to hang out and what not I mean honestly its so hard for me to explain this. But they become like bestfriends and Eli falls for her and yeah, please read. Its better than it sounds. Just so you know for this story:
Clare is kind of OOC, but just a little, I mean I don't think she is but just warning you if you might think it
She's new to the neighborhood and has never had a bf before, so yea. ENJOY
"Clare, just go introduce yourself."
"Mom, no. I don't want to, that's awkward." She complained.
"Just give them the platter, say we're they're new neighbors and that's it."
"Why can't you do it?"
Helen sighed, "Clare, just go."
Clare was not one to meet new people and introduce herself. She wasn't shy, but just insecure. She simply felt things were easier if she didn't put an effort into interacting with people.
"Fine."
She slipped on some shorts, a dead hand shirt, ruffled her hair, grabbed the platter and made her way across the street.
She rang the door bell and impatiently waited. Soon a green eyed boy opened the door,
"Um hi, who are you?"
"Uh, new neighbor. My mom just wanted me to give you this." She handed him the platter, "So bye."
She turned away and began to walk across the street.
"Wait." He called out and she turned around.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Clare." She responded bluntly.
"I'm Eli." He responded.
She nodded, "That's great." And walked back to her house. Eli eyed her confused but went back in his own house. Clare made her way back up to her room.
"Did you meet the new neighbors?" Helen called from the living room.
"Only some guy like my age."
"I see something happening." Helen responded.
"Shut up Mom." She yelled playfully. Clare grabbed her laptop from under her bed and sat on it and signed into face range having nothing else to do with her day. She has a friend request from 'Eli Goldsworthy'. She wasn't sure who it was and check his profile picture and noticed it was her neighbor.
She accepted and she soon received an IM.
Eli-Hey
Clare-Stalking me much?
Eli-Not really
Clare- Then how did you find my account so fast?
Eli-I just have ways
Clare-Okay, well you're creeping me out
Eli-lol sorry about that. Uhm so why'd you move here?"
Clare-Mom's job moved, uhh why are you talking to me?
Eli-What do you mean?
Clare-I mean why are you talking to me when you could be doing something else ?
Eli-Well you're my neighbor
Clare-That doesn't really mean we have to talk
Eli-I was just trying to be friendly
Clare-Okay fine, well um what school do you go to?"
Eli-Degrassi
Clare-I'm gonna be going there in the summer
Eli-What grade?
Clare-10th, you?
Eli-11th
Clare- Cool, so I'm gonna go.
Eli-Talk to you later?
Clare-Possibly…
Clare signed off and walked downstairs, hopped on the couch to watch TV in the living room. She grabbed a bag of chips from the table and began stuffing her mouth.
"Clare…"
"Yea?" She questioned with a full mouth.
"Um tonight, the neighbors are going to come over.
"What? Like the neighbors directly across the streets."
Helen nodded, "Yea in about 3 hrs. I'm gonna go out and get rood. You get ready and put on some presentable clothes.
Great. More awkward talk with Eli
So I like this story a lot actually. It gets good, just wait. REVIEW. I'm not sure about Childhood Friend, I'm so lost, I'm going to try to keep going but it won't be long
