A Birthday Surprise! Two shot
Chapter One: Surprise One
Clare's P.O.V
I have 6 more minutes left of class, and then I get to see Eli! Eli is my boyfriend of six months, and one of my best friends. I'm getting really tired of History, and just want to go to my favorite class English, which I have with Eli and Adam, my other best friend.
"If that bell doesn't strike 11, I will probably explode" I thought, as I let out a giant breath, I didn't know I was holding in
5, 4,3,2,1 BRRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGG!
"FINALLY!" I whispered to myself, as I quickly packed up my things and rushed out the door
Walking down the hall, I began to wonder if anyone would remember what tomorrow was… My 16th Birthday! I can't believe that today is my last full day of being 15 years old!
Before I knew it, I was at the doorway of Mrs. Dawes' English room. I walked in, and glanced around to see if Eli or Adam was there. I saw that they weren't, and sighed as I walked over to my usual place in the class room. I took out the book Eli lent me, "Juliet, Naked" and began reading, when I felt a pair of hands cover my eyes.
"Guess who" The mystery person asked
"Ummm…Adam?"
"No"
"Mrs. Dawes?" I asked giggling
"No!" He chuckled
"Oh, I know, its Eli" I smiled and turned around as the hands released from my eyes.
"Hey, Birthday girl!" Eli says smirking
"My birthday isn't until tomorrow Eli"
"I know, but the celebration begins today…with this" Eli says as he gently kisses me on the lips
I quickly pull away, "Eli! No PDA in school. Do you want to get in trouble?"
"No, but your worth the risk" he says, leaning down
"No" I say as I turn away, " I don't want to get in trouble…sorry" Eli began to pout, so I quickly kissed him on the cheek, after making sure no teachers were around, and he instantly smiled. Class began, and went by in a blur. The next thing I knew, school was over, and I was at my locker.
*At Clare's Locker*
"So, any big plans for your birthday?" Eli asked, hoping I would say no
"No, nothing planned, probably just spending time with my parents. Why?"
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to spend your birthday with your amazingly smart, super hot boyfriend."
"WOW! Your head is huge!" I joked laughing
Eli threw his hands over his heart, and sarcastically said "Ouch, Clare, I thought you were the nice one in this relationship?"
"Ha Ha, very fun-" I was cut off when my cell phone started ringing. It was my mom, so I answered it
"Hello?"
"Hi Clare" my mom said over the phone. She sounded really happy
"Oh, hi mom, what's up?"
"Well, I have a surprise for you at home, so get over here as soon as possible."
"Oh, well can it wait, I was going to study at the Dot with Eli?" I rolled my eyes
"Sweetie, this is a big surprise. Just bring Eli over, and you can study there."
"Okay, see you at home"
"I love you"
"I love you too mom, bye."
I hang up the phone, and look at Eli, who is smirking at me.
"That was my mom; she has a GIANT surprise for me at home. Want to come with me?"
Eli smiles "Sure sweetie, let's get out of here."
Eli wrapped his arm around my shoulders, as we make our way out to Morty.
*At Clare's House*
Eli parked Morty in my driveway, and runs over to open my door, as usual. Whoever said chivalry was dead was wrong.
"Thank you" I smile
He leans down to kiss me "You're welcome; alright let's go and see this big surprise your mom has for you."
*Inside Clare's House*
I open the door to my mom's house, and walk in to see my mom there smiling as she walks over.
"Hi sweetie" she says as she gives me a hug... "Hi Eli" he says giving him a hug also.
My mom is really starting to like Eli. At first, she was a bit hesitant because he wears all black, and drives a hearse, but he really grew on her, after seeing how sweet he was with me, and now he's like a son to her.
"Hi Mrs. Edwards" He says, smirking his infamous smirk.
"So, mom, what's my surprise?" I question
"You really want to know"
"Yes!" Why else would I be here, instead of "studying" with my amazing boyfriend.
"Okay, then close your eyes" then she points to Eli, "You too Eli." Eli and I close our eyes, waiting for my mom's approval to open them.
"Okay, you two, open your eyes." I open my eyes, and automatically scream, causing Eli to cover his ears. I run over to my surprise, which was my incredible older sister DARCY!
"DARCY!" I yelled, as I nearly attacked her
"CLARE, YOU LOOK AMAZING!" she yelled back at me
We embraced each other in a giant sisterly hug, causing my mom and Eli to smile.
"I can't believe this, you look so different. Short hair, no glasses, an adorable boyfriend…" Darcy glanced over at Eli "...But you are still wearing a uniform."
"This is not what I normally wear to school anymore, but Degrassi has uniforms now…" I trailed off
"Really? What happened?" She asked
"I'll tell you later, trust me, it's a long story." I roll my eyes, "anyway, Darcy…" I lead her over to my patient boyfriend… "This is my boyfriend Eli, Eli this is my amazing sister Darcy."
Eli reached his hand out, but Darcy ignored it, giving him a bone crushing hug. "It's nice to meet you Eli" Darcy says letting go of Eli, "I've heard a lot about you. You are Clare's favorite subject on the phone." I began to blush greatly as Eli says "It's nice to meet you too."
Eli looks at me and chuckles slightly, as I begin to blush even more.
Darcy, Eli and I make our way into the kitchen and begin talking about Degrassi, Kenya, and everything else in the world.
"So how long are you staying?" I ask hoping she would be staying long
"I leave next Sunday night."
I begin to smile, because she's going to be here for a full week! As we continue to talk, we begin to lose track of time.
*11 O'clock*
Eli looks down at his watch and notices how late it was, and has to get home. He had stayed for dinner, and now he has to go back to his house. Darcy and I walk him to the door.
"Bye, Darcy, it was nice meeting you." He says, as Darcy gives him another hug.
"Bye, Eli, it was nice meeting you too." She says with a smile.
"Bye, Blue eyes." He says giving me a quick peck on the lips, "I'll see you tomorrow Birthday girl."
"Bye, Eli" I wave back to him as he makes his way into Morty and drives away.
Darcy and I go upstairs and say goodnight to one another, before going to bed.
GOODBYE 15, HELLO 16!
*The next morning*
I was lying in my bed, sound asleep, dreaming about Eli, when I felt someone jumping on my bed. I slowly open my eyes to see Darcy, acting like a little kid on Christmas morning.
"WAKE UP CLARE, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY! YOU'RE 16!" Darcy yells, trying to get me up. She seems more excited than I do at the moment
I slowly get up, rubbing my eyes, and smile at my sister as I begin squealing.
"I can't believe I'm 16 years old! I'm soooo excited!"
"I know me too! Mom's downstairs cooking your birthday breakfast"
"Mmmm yummy, let's go!" I grab my sister's hand, and run downstairs in the kitchen
"Happy Birthday sweetie!" my mom says as he gives me a hug and kiss on the forehead. On the table were chocolate chip pancakes, maple syrup, bacon, strawberries and orange juice. YUM! I'm Hungry!
After breakfast was over, I get a call from Eli, so I quickly answer
"Hello"
"Hey, blue eyes, Happy Birthday!"
"Thank you, so what's up?"
"Well, I have the best plan for your birthday tonight… just you and me!"
"Awwww, what are we doing?"
"It's a surprise, but I'll pick you up at 6, okay?"
"Okay, just one question: What should I wear?"
"Whatever you want, you'll look beautiful in anything."
I blush when he says that, and stutter back into the phone, "T-Thanks, s-so I'll see you at 6?"
"Yup, bye Birthday girl"
"Bye!"
I hang up the phone and begin searching for the perfect outfit at 10:30 in the morning! I am so Excited!
