Hey guys (: This is my first story, so criticism is much appreciated :D Review and you'll get more chapters. Well enjoy, or not (;
BY THE WAY: This chapter and the TWO chapters after is when Clare is 13 and Eli is 14 (because he's a year older). The rest of the chapters will be their current age. The first three chapter titles tell you the point in summer they are at. Oh and Clare never had glasses.

*Clare POV*
Annoying laughter fills my ears as Darcy and all of her friends laugh at another one of their lame jokes. I don't see why I have to be dragged here, to the park, with her and her annoying friends.

Our mom has been making Darcy and me spend "sister time" together. We were supposed to be here alone but Darcy forgot she made plans with her friends. We have been fighting lately, but nothing THAT bad.

"Darcy, I'm going to take a walk." I say while her friend is in the middle of a joke. Darcy rolled her eyes. "Whatever Clare, just be back soon." She responded. I got up and started my walk.

I started wandering around the park just thinking. I was really bored, but then again, it was better than staying with Darcy and her friends. I must've been so lost in thought that I stopped paying attention to where I was walking because I tripped and fell. I hoped no one noticed, but just to my luck I heard loud chuckling.

I tuned to see a boy dressed in all black coming to help me up. "Are you alright?" He said sounding concerned, which I didn't expect coming from a guy that was just laughing at me.

As he helped me up, I looked into his eyes and my heart melted. "Yeah, just lost in thought and uh- I fell?" I replied unsurely.

"Ah, happens to me all the time." He said smirking. "Eli Goldsworthy, and you are?"

"Clare Edwards." I say while blushing and staring at the ground. "I-uh better get back to my sister." I said quickly

"Oh, I was hoping we could hang out." He said while turning a bright red. "You know, so I could see you trip some more."

I giggled. "That could be arranged," I say smiling and while pulling a pen out of my bag and writing my number on his hand. "Text when you want to hang out, Eli." I said emphasizing the Eli part.

"Will do." He said smirking

*Later that day*

Beep. Beep. I heard my phone receive a text message.

Hey Clare, how'd your sister bonding go today? –Ali ;)

Hey. Um, it went well, but not because we bonded… –Clare (:

Huh? Clare, what are you talking about? -Ali ;)

Well long story short, Darcy and I went to the park, but her friends came so I went on walk and I met someone... –Clare (:

OOH! Spill the details! –Ali ;)

His name is Eli. He's really cute. The most adorable emerald eyes ever!–Clare (:

Awe, Clare! Sorry but I got to now. Talk to you tomorrow, and good luck –Ali ;)

I stopped texting Ali, and couldn't stop wondering when Eli would text me.

That's the first chapter! I told you I suck at summaries! Should I Continue? Did I rush their feelings for each other? Review please :D
