CLARE'S POV (sorry if I'm disappointing, it will be for a while until Elijah comes)
"Uh…" I said confusingly to she shadow.
It just chuckled at me and stepped a bit closer. I just stared into the green eyes. My mind told me to take a step back, to run away, but I did nothing but stare. The figure laughed again.
"Sorry if I scared you." It said to me slowly and I nodded. As it stepped closer towards me, I could now make out its face. I could now tell that it was a boy by the sound of his voice. He was of about 16, give or take a little. He had dirty blonde hair that was normal length and bright eyes. As he came closer into the glow of the streetlight I noticed that his eyes were in fact not green.
Well, not the green I was hoping them to be at least…
His eyes were a striking blue with tints of green towards the center. The boy also was very tan and about the same height as me. He seemed well built by the looks of him; his shirt was off. As I continued to examine the boy he smiled at me and said simply,
"It's not very polite to stare, especially at someone you just met."
I laughed at that and looked down at my feet. I then decided to be bold. I stuck my hand out.
"I'm Clare, Clare Edwards."
"Jamie." He said with another smile on his face, reaching out shaking my hand.
Jeez, this boy sure is peppy; I don't think he's stopped smiling yet.
"So, Clare Edwards, what are you doing out here on this fine evening all by yourself?"
I smiled, Oh he's a charmer, nice going Clare.
"Well, if you really need to know, I'm just walking around for a little while." I didn't want to mention Eli; I was trying NOT to think about him.
I quickly added, "Thinking, clearing my head, you know, the usual." I flashed a smile at him. He seemed to find this amusing and smirked.
Oh, why did you have to smirk? WHY? Isn't there anything else you can do with your mouth? Anything but smirking…
I pouted to myself as he answered,
"Well, I guess we have more in common than I figured."
Jamie looked at me with a grin on his face and grabbed my hand pulling me towards the sandy beach,
"C'mon, let's go take a walk by the ocean!"
I didn't reply I just went with him. He seemed like a decent guy, I don't think he would do anything to hurt me. And if he did, well I would pull a Fitz on him. I laughed thinking about Fitz's encounter with Eli after he broke off the skull on Morty. I also realized that I had my phone in my pocket in case there was an emergency.
I'll call Eli when I'm done walking around with Jamie. Oh, maybe I should stop thinking about Eli and just concentrate on the guy I'm sitting here talking to now, he seems like he could be a nice friend to see every year up here.
I then pushed all my random thoughts, especially the ones about Eli to the back of my head and concentrated on Jamie. I shivered as we got closer to the water and Jamie seemed to notice. He looked at me and put up his pointer finger, signaling for me to wait. I just stood there as he ran over to the lifeguard stand and grabbed a sweatshirt and handed it to me.
"Thanks, you didn't have to do that."
"I don't mind, plus I don't want a pretty girl like you to be leaving me anytime soon because of the cold." He looked at me winking.
I couldn't help but blush, I didn't want him to see though so I pretended I had never been more interested in the sand in my life.
Jamie and I walked down the beach and talked for hours, literally. He asked me about where I live, what school I go to, about my family, and basically all the questions to get to know someone. I told him everything, about Darcy, Alli, Adam, and KC. I even told him about my parents but there wasn't much to say about them anymore. They had stopped fighting altogether and acted like nothing had happened. The only thing I left out was Eli; I didn't want him to know anything. At first I just answered the questions to keep him happy and to keep Eli off of my mind. But as we talked more and more I began to really like him and enjoy his presence. I asked him mostly the same questions about himself and he answered them happily. He ended up living not too far from Degrassi, about 45 minutes, although he did go to Catholic school. He also had 2 sisters and a bunch of cousins that also stay up here, but only a couple of them were up here now.
"So where are you staying up here?" Jamie asked me, probably wanting to walk me back, or maybe visit I hoped to myself.
I looked up over he brush and saw the tan house I was looking for.
"See that tan house right there, with the brown roof?" I asked him pointing to it. He nodded.
"That's where I'm staying, for 2 weeks. Well the rest of the 2 weeks at least." There were only 16 days left we were staying up here.
"You're joking."
I glanced at him confusedly, "No?"
"I'm staying in the house right next door."
"Are you serious? That's awesome!" I cried excitedly. I was so glad he was near; I could finally have a friend to talk to up here. Alli only came up maybe once or twice, but she was always too bust scooping out hot guys.
"I KNOW! BOOYAH!" Jamie yelled. I laughed at his reaction and he calmed down slightly.
He reminds me so much of Adam, I bet they would get along.
"Shall I walk you back home Clare? It is getting late." He asked me, holding out his arm for me to lace mine into his.
"I believe you shall," I replied locking arms and giggling.
Well, that was a lot more fun than I was expecting it to be
Jamie looked over at me and smiled, again.
I felt my phone vibrate and got scared as I thought it might be my parents. It was already 11:5. I peeked it out of my pocked so only I could see what it said. It only vibrated once and I blew out the air I was holding in. I knew it wasn't my parents calling; maybe they weren't even back home yet. I saw it was a text from… Well, all I saw was an E. I didn't have time to look at the rest. But, I figured it was from Eli. I got butterflies in my stomach as I placed it back into my pocket. I didn't want to seem rude in from of Jamie. I then looked up and realized we were basically in front of my house.
"Well, it looks like you'll be having at least one visitor again tomorrow, Clare."
"Well, I guess I'll be here waiting." I said with a smile.
Jamie then reached for my phone in my pocket.
I panicked.
Oh no, did he see that Eli texted me? I don't want him to be mad or anything. But, Well I mean why would he be mad though, I just met him. Oh gosh what should I do!
He finally reached my pocket that held my phone, and my hand that was holding onto it. I quickly pressed the end button, getting rid of any evidence that I had gotten a text. Jamie didn't seem to notice and continued to take it. He placed it in his other hand and I leaned over to see what he was doing. He shook his head at me playfully and used his other hand to cover the screen. I groaned at him and waited until he was done. He gave it back to me and called,
"Goodnight, Clare. Sweet dreams!" with a wink and began walking down his driveway.
After he was out of sight I went up to my deck and peeked inside to see if my parents were back. Thank goodness they weren't. I went back outside onto the deck and sat down on the chair. I looked at my phone to see what he had done. I couldn't seem to find anything and I was about to give up. Then looked and saw that I had a draft. I always hated keeping drafts in my phone so I opened it so I could delete it. I was about to press erase but stopped to see that Jamie had written it.
'Check your contacts. Under J if you need another clue. (;'
That was what the draft said. I looked and sure enough Jamie had put in his number. I smiled and went back into the house. I got ready for bed and laid down in the living room watching TV. I didn't want to text or call Jamie right now, I just saw him. I remembered that I still had his sweatshirt and I would call him in the morning. I then realized that my parents were going to be home soon. I debated in my head to either call Eli or text him, but soon realized that I had a text from him already. I went to my inbox and opened up the text.
'Clare, It's Eli. Can we please talk? Call me.'
Silly boy, of course I knew it was him, as if I hadn't already memorized his phone number. I called him so much. But recently I had been thinking about Vegas Night and I hadn't talked to him since then. I felt bad for ignoring him, but I really didn't feel like talking to him right now. I responded to his text saying,
'I can't call you now, I'm too tired. I'll call you in the morning, Eli. Goodnight'
I felt bad, I knew Eli would be crushed but it was the truth. I really didn't want to think about him any more today. I closed my phone and could feel my heavy eyelids drooping as I heard my parents come inside talking and then bring their voices to a whisper. That was the last thing I remember before drifting off into a deep sleep, full of wonderful dreams.
