Thanks to the headphones I got at least some sleep.
I roll out of bed and start getting ready for school. It beats being here no matter how much I would have to listen to Alli's babbling.
I didn't want to face my parents so I skipped breakfast and went straight out the door and was prepared to walk to school like any other day.
I stare at my flats as I walk. Listening to the pitter-patter of my heels on the pavement. Trying to ignore everything else and focus only on that.
"Clare!" I heard someone shout behind me, snapping me out of my trance. I turn around only see Eli leaning against his hearse. I start walking towards him, my heart thumping faster, and louder with each step. "Thought you could use a ride.", he says smoothly "In your hearse?" I reply. "Come on, Morty's a sweet heart he wouldn't hurt a thing.", he persists. "You named your hearse Morty?", I ask amused, as I open the passenger door and hesitantly slide in. He nods as he gets in, starting the car with his signature smirk on his face. "How… appropriate", I say as a smirk of my own dances on my lips. He chuckles as he turns on the radio and speeds off to school. If he keeps driving like this, it wont be long until I'm in the back of Morty.
We get to school and I survived the first three periods. I go to my locker and exchange some books. I notice Eli walking over towards the front doors. I roll my eyes. Typical Eli, skipping English...again.
He notices my annoyed expression.
"Have something to say Edwards?", he says with a smirk, as he walks over to me and leans on the locker next to mine. The halls were near empty by now.
"Going somewhere? What is English class not your style either", I counter, a smile dancing on my lips.
"As a matter of fact, I am. And where I'm going can be considered...educational.Care to join?", a smirk dancing on his.
I really want to say yes. But skipping class isnt really my style.
"Yeah, No thanks. One detention was enough for me", I say, disappointing even myself.
"Come on, consider it a field trip.", he chuckles
Well, one hour wont hurt anyone, right?
"Well, you did say it was educational...", I say trying to convince myself, as I close my locker.
"That's the spirit!", he said, interlacing his fingers with mine. I feel myself blushing. I push my hair into my face, hoping he wont notice.
He notices. He reaches up to my face and delicately, pushes the hair away from my face, causing me to blush harder, if possible. He strokes my incredibly red cheeks with two fingers, and studies my face as I study his. His emerald eyes glistening, his full lips forming into a smirk, his hair falling onto his forehead and over his right eyelid. He starts leaning closer, and closer, and-
"Eli!", and just like that, our moment was interrupted by Adam, who was jogging down the hall, short of breath, towards us.
We snap out of it. Hands fall from my auburn hair, and my blushing cheeks. Our hands unlace, and I take a baby step away from him as Adam approaches.
