Clare's POV
I was on my computer finishing my English assignment. It was extremely easy. All we had to do was write about something that really scared you but it had to be written as a letter. I was just about to type the last paragraph when all of a sudden my IM popped up.
49- Hey there! What are you up to?
I laughed at what he had typed.
23- That was a very unlike Eli greeting. I'm just finishing up that scared letter assignment for English. Which you should be doing!
49- I already did it.
What! He already did it! Is he joking? I don't understand. I always finish before him. My thoughts were interrupted when my computer made a ding sound saying that I had a new message.
49- I know you are surprised I finished before you but that doesn't give you an excuse to ignore me.
23- Why do you say I was thinking about that? I could have been thinking about something else.
49- No you weren't. So you want to hang out after school tomorrow with me and Adam? He is taking me to this park a little ways away and I want there to be a witness if he is going to kill me.
I laughed at the thought of Adam trying to kill Eli.
23- Hmm….. Sure! I would love to!
49- Great! I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow
23- Okay. I have one question first
49- Yes?
23- Did you really finish your letter?
49- Why would I lie to you?
Does that mean he wouldn't lie to me…ever? I wondered but decided not to question him about it.
23- Never mind, forget I asked. Goodnight!
23 is offline.
After I signed off my computer dinged again so I checked what the IM said.
49- Goodnight Clare! By the way, yes I did finish it and no I would never lie to you.
When I saw that, my heart skipped a beat. Wow! Eli Goldsworthy actually cares about me! I'll have to use that against him one day. The rest of the night I finished my assignment and went to bed. All I knew was that tomorrow at school would be a good day!
