( A/N thank you so much for my first review, lovelikewoe13. for some reason i was sooo happy. i was literally running around. any ways i do not own degrassi if i did Eli and Clare would be together)
(Clare's pov)
I woke up to the obnoxious sounding alarm. I sighed mentally and rolled out of bed. I walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower. I hissed when the hot water hit my hand as i turned it on. I took a really fast shower, then i got out and brushed my teeth and combed my hair and all that boring morning hygiene stuff. I walked to my closet and pulled out grey skinny jeans and my white smurf shirt. I got dressed and went down stairs. I didn't really feel like eating so I went back up stairs and put on my black vans. I grabbed my purple jansport backpack and jogged downstairs. My mom never came home last night so I grabbed my keys and went outside. As I was locking my door, I noticed that our new neighbors had finally moved in. My parents and I have never gotten to meet them. We probably will when my parents come back.
I noticed a black vintage hearse parked outside their house. I smiled to myself. It was really cool. I heard foot steps behind me and I decided to start walking again.
"Hey," an unknown voice said behind me. I turned around and slightly smiled and gave a little nod.
" Um... are you my neighbor?" the boy said. His eyes were a VERY bright green. I think it was the only color on him, besides a grey and black striped shirt underneath his plain black t-shirt.
I nodded. He stuck out his hand and said " I'm Eli" i nodded and shook his head. "Uhhh... what's your name?" I pulled out a piece of paper and wrote:
I'm clare, nice to meet you
He looks at the paper confused, "Did you lose your voice or something?"
no, I'm a selective mute. so I don't talk... at all
"oh, what's a selective mute?"
I sighed and wrote: a selective mute is a person who chooses not to talk, usually after a tragic incident
"oh what happened to you that made you not want to talk," he asked. I bit my lip and wrote:
It's a long, story. I will tell you someday, maybe if we become friends?
When he read it he smirked, "Sure i would love to get to know you, and become friends,"
I smiled and wrote: great so do you want to walk to school, or is this AWESOME hearse yours?
He laughed and said,"yes this awesome hearse is mine. Do you want a ride?"
um... i don't usually ride in hearses with people, but yes i would love to... CAN I RIDE IN THE BACK?
He laughed again and said" wow i have never met someone that was so excited to ride in the back of a hearse"
Then I did something that i haven't did in two years, I laughed. I actually laughed. When i realized what I did, I stopped and looked up to the sky. 'I'm sorry darcy'
"Come on Clare, let's go," Eli said. I eagerly jumped in the back. He laughed, and I tried to ignore the bubbly feeling i got when he did. I just smiled in returned. As we were driving in comfortable silence, I took a good look at him. He was really cute. I just met this boy and i already know that he is going to change me...
