Chapter 2- Stay with me
Eli's pov
Clare was amazing, I couldn't believe she got detention just so we could be together for another hour. I was driving to her house after our detention was over with the radio on and blaring and with Clare frantically scanning over her Science lab Manuel looking for any idea at all for her end of the year science experiment that would count as half of the points on her final exam for the year. Other than the radio it had been rather quiet in here all the way from Degrassi so I said despritaly trying to lighten Clare's stress filled mood so she would start talking about something, anything really I hated not hearing talking, hers especially. " So tell me Clarebear did you purposefully get detention for PDA to spend another hour with me or so you didn't have to take the bus?" I asked her teasingly. She smacked my shoulder, finally looking up from her Science lab book thingy to try her best at sarcasm. " Well, I don't know Eli you tell me which do I love more, being with you or riding in Morty?" I answered her with what sh would describe as a sassy tone " Well I didn't know because I know just how much you love taking the smelly old bus, Blue eyes." By now Clare had turned her gaze back to her packet, but was paying enough attention to mutter " oh yes Eli, because riding the stupid old bitch filled bus is just my favorite activity of all time." she paused to curl a piece of her ginger colored hair behind one ear then continued " And what is it with you and all these pet names for me?" she added with a slight smile " I'm going to come up with you... hmm... let me think about this name I want it to be just perfect for you." I smirked to myself with that and said under my breath " I'm sure you will."
Clare's pov
I turned my focus back to my Science lab packet but my brain was now searching for the perfect pet name for Eli. I looked up as Eli sighed loudly and pulled my focus once again from finding the perfect science experiment to what he was saying " Fine, I've tried to be nice Clare, but not anymore." I met his eyes wondering what I'd done wrong " If you don't put away your stupid science book and talk to me about some random nonsense this instant I will throw it out the window." Eli finished and flashed my favorite, his signature smirk.
" oh yeah" I said playing along with his sexy cuteness, looked down at my science packet again, just to test him now. With no warning what soever he grabbed my book right off my lap and with one hand dangled it out the window. I practically jumped out of my seat and tried to get it away from him but his arms were longer than mine and it proved to be impossible.
So I unbuckled my seatbelt, in will only take a second to get it back told myself and jumped over into Eli's seat and basically sat on his lap while grabbing at his at his forearm that was out the window with his hand wrapped around my science book only a few inches farther out the window. I knew Eli was a man of his word and he would drop it out the window like he had said so I did the only thing I could think of doing, scratching. I always used to scratch Darcy if she would hold something above my head or try to get something away from me and I always got it when I scratched her.
So I raked my nails hard against Eli's forearm and watched as he gasped in pain and pulled his arm in the window carrying mine inside the car with it and rubbed it for just a few seconds with his other hand. "ELI!" I screamed as the car in front of us stopped suddenly and Eli stomped on the breaks but it was too late. Morty slammed head first into the car in front of us, the last thing I remember is glass flying everywhere and Eli yelling "stay with me!"
