*Eli's POV*
Today was the first day of the semester and I couldn't but be exhausted. This was my second year being a professor at U of T and I still couldn't get over the exhaustion that was slowly creeping up on me now that classes were over. I sighed heavily as I leaned back in my office chair; I hadn't realized that classes had been over for hours now. I slowly grabbed my tie and loosened it, closing my eyes and leaning back in my chair, trying to relax. I haven't rested since six this morning and it felt good to finally have a moment of peace and quiet. Just as I was finally relaxed, my phone began to ring. I heard the familiar Dead Hand song that I never stopped loving since high school, otherwise known as "Paisley Jacket". Adam, Clare and I use to blast this song in my old vintage hearse, Morty. I sighed, those were the days. Just being a carefree teenager with awesome friends. I couldn't help but wondered what Clare was doing with her life. We lost connections after my first semester of college. Luckily, I had kept in touch with Adam. But I couldn't help but feel awful that I hadn't kept in touch with Clare. Eli that was years ago, stop drowning in the past, I told myself. I slowly opened my eyes after hearing the familiar melody and digged through my pockets for my phone. I saw Adam was calling me. I couldn't help but smirk; he was my best friend after all.
"Hey Adam, what's up?"
"Eli! My main man, I have some awesome news. Remember Fiona Coyne?" I couldn't help but chuckle at Adam. "Of course Adam, how could I forget her? In High school she was all heard about from you." I knew Adam must be blushing right now. "I-I don't know what you're talking about, I talked about plenty of other things." He defended himself, stuttering a little bit along the way. I smirked and just let him off easy. "Anyways, what about her Adam?"
"Well you know, someone happened to run into her and may possibly have a little date with the gorgeous Fiona Coyne." He answered smugly. "Congrats Adam! When's the date?"
"She told me to call her whenever I was free to set it up. We still up for guy's night?" Adam questioned me; he probably wanted some advice on Fiona. "Of course dude, I'm going to stop by the store though and get some food. I've been in my office all day; do you want anything?" and of course Adam being Adam, he couldn't miss an opportunity to eat. He quickly said yes and we exchanged goodbyes. I put my phone away and got all my belongings together. Sadly, Morty broke down and was to broken to be fixed so I had to get a new car. Now I was equipped with a black urban Jeep; which was an awesome car but it wouldn't be Morty. I quickly got in my car and drove to the nearest grocery store.
Since it was eight at night, not many cars were on the road. I slowly walked into the store, completely exhausted from the first day of school. I grabbed a cart and began to wander my way through the store. After about twenty minutes of shopping I had finally found everything Adam and I needed for guys night. Just as I was about to go wait in line to pay for my groceries I heard someone struggling behind me. I looked and saw a short woman with auburn curls having a hard time reaching for something on the top shelf. I quickly made my way over to her. "Excuse me miss, do you need any help?" I politely asked her. She stopped struggling and looked to the ground, obviously embarrassed. "Uhm, if you don't mind. Thank you." She told me shyly. I reassured her it was no problem at all. I quickly grabbed the bag of sugar she had been trying to reach and when I turned around I was met with a familiar set of blue eyes. "Clare? Is that you?" I asked her. I couldn't help but notice how much she had changed, in a good way of course. Clare had always been very beautiful to me, though I never told her, but now… she was indescribable. Her curls had gotten a little bit longer and her eyes had never been blue-er. She definitely had curves, but they were beautiful and fit her perfectly. She was dressed in a blue dress that went a little above her knees and a navy blue blazer.
"Eli? Oh my gosh Eli! I haven't seen you in years." She quickly hugged me. I couldn't help but be intoxicated by her vanilla scent. I quickly got rid of those thoughts; I couldn't be attracted to Clare. I haven't seen her in years.
"The one and only. Clare, it's good to see you. How have you been?" I asked her with my signature smirk as we pulled away from our hug. She had a slight blush on her cheeks, which reminded me of high school. "I can see you are still smug." She teased giving me a shy smile. "But, I'm doing fine."
"That's good to hear Clare. Listen I wish we could catch up but I have to go. You know how Adam gets when hes hungry and doesn't have food." She giggled and nodded her head. I saw her take a napkin out of her purse, as well as a pen. I saw her scribble something onto it. She looked up at me smiling as she handed me the napkin. I raised my eyebrows and looked down. I realized she had given me her phone number. "Well give me a call when you want to get together, I really want to catch up Eli." I smirked at her, I was glad she hadn't changed much. "I do too, I'll call you and set up something soon, okay?" she nodded and we exchanged hugs one last time as she waved goodbye with a cute grin on her face. I paid for my food and then left, realizing it spent an hour at the grocery store. As I was driving to Adam's house I couldn't help but feel a tingly feeling in me. But the good kind and I couldn't be happier that it was there, and I knew it was from seeing Clare.
