A/N: Hope y'all like this one. I thought it was funny. REVIEWS are appreciated. (:
"Hey, can we go to your house to study? My parents are both off work today. They're probably at it again." Clare said quietly. She didn't want to reveal her...surprise.
"Yeah, I guess." Eli said as he continued walking to his car. "My parents aren't home."
"Okay. Oh wait! I forgot something in my locker! Wait here." Clare ran towards the Degrassi double doors.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"No need. Just pull up and I'll be back before you get here." Clare said without turning back.
"Okay..?" Eli murmured under his breath. He wondered what she could have forgotten. Homework? Girl "stuff"?
Clare fast-walked to her locker. Number 1371. She quickly unlocked it and grabbed a neon pink tube. She grinned to herself.
Eli pulled up to the curb and Clare hopped in. "What did you forget?" Eli shot her a sideways glance.
"Oh, nothin. Just some trig homework. Boring stuff!" Clare hoped he bought it.
"Ah." Eli said as he pulled out of Degrassi.
Eli unlocked the front door to his seemingly normal home. They walked up the two flights of stairs to Eli's surprisingly normal room. Beige walls. Navy blue carpet. Only a few band posters.
"Gee, Eli. This isn't...you?" Clare said, puzzled.
"Ha. My parents wouldn't let me paint it black. I got grounded for the corner over there." Eli pointed to a corner, mostly hidden by his dresser. Sure enough, he tried to paint it black with out his parents knowledge. "Caught me in the act. 3 months house arrest." He laughed.
Clare and Eli sat on his matching black bean bags.
"Eli. I have to pee. Where's the bathroom?" Clare stood up and smoothed out her dress.
Without looking up, Eli said, "Down the hall. First door to the left."
Clare took her bag. She reached the bathroom, and locked the door. She grabbed the hot pink tube. She looked into the shower and pulled out a bottle of mens shampoo. She took out the tube and read the label out loud.
"Magic Dye. The Perfect Prank Dye." Clare studied the bottle. The tube itself was the neon-est pink their could ever be, but the liquid itself was clear. Probably to disguise it. She removed the regualr shampoo, and replaced it with the dye.
"Eli. That is the last time you ever mess with me!" Clare rolled her eyes at the prank he pulled the Sunday before. She walked out of the bathroom and back to Eli's room.
"Took ya long enough." Eli looked up at her.
"I had something to...take care of." Clare smiled.
"Oh...kay? No need for details." Eli gave her her english paper to study.
They studied for a few hours, then Clare decided it was time for the...surprise... to unfold. She left and Eli went to his kitchen. He pulled out a microwave dinner, and proceeded to eat it while watching Family Guy.
Eli walked to the bathroom, and grabbed a towel off of the back of the door. He turned on the shower and waited for the water to heat up. He stepped in and did all of the usual stuff. He then washed his hair. He got out and looked in the mirror. He thought he saw something in his hair, but the mirror was fogged up. He wiped it off and his jaw dropped.
"OH MY GOD." He yelled.
Clare was waiting on her bed, watching her phone. She smiled when it rang, and saw Incoming call: Eli. She answered.
"Hello?" Clare bit her lip.
"What in the hell did you do?" Eli was still screaming.
"Huh? Me no comprendo?" Clare giggled.
"You know just well what you did! How could you! Now I have to go hunt down a perfect shade of dye!" Eli was still...screaming.
"Unless you want your hair to turn orange, I wouldn't do that. Everyone knows that if you mix neon and dark it turns orange. Looks like you'll have to wait to let it fade. Sorry!" Clare hung up.
"Ugh!" Eli hung on the "uh" for a minute. He threw all of his bedding off of his bed and cursed at Clare. "I hate you Clare!"
Clare layed on her bed. "That so taught him to never mess with a girl." she giggled.
Eli sighed and ran a hand through his recently neon pink hair.
I'll just have to get her back. Someday, somehow.
