ALL THAT IS GOLD IS RUSTED
I woke up on Saturday to my phone vibrating on my night table. I yawned and reached over and grabbed it. I opened it and I had one new text message from Adam:
'hey clare me and fiona are going on a date and we want you and eli to come along'
I sighed and texted him back saying, 'I guess, what time?' I waited a few minutes before Adam texted back and it said, '1:30 at the dot." I put my phone down and went to the bathroom. I took a shower and did my hair and waited until 1:15. I was leaving out until my parents stopped me, "Where are you going Clare?" my mom asked from the couch.
I hadn't remembered, my parents banned me from going to the Dot. Quick, Clare. Quick. "I-I'm meeting up with Alli at the Library." My dad smiled and said, "I like that Alli girl, have fun." I ran out of the house and started walking the Dot.
When I went to the Dot, Adam and Fiona were cuddling while Eli sat next to them, obviously feeling awkward since he didn't have a girlfriend. I went to the booth they sat at and sat across from Adam and next to Eli. "Hey Clare, I feel like we haven't talked in forever!" Fiona said, laughing. I smiled, I really liked Fiona. She was probably one of the nicest girl I've ever met. She was perfect for Adam and Adam was happy to have her.
Adam kissed her cheek and Fiona lit up, like an ornament on a Christmas tree. Me and Eli looked at each other, both of us noticing the awkwardness between our group. "So, when's the 8 months anniversary?" Eli asked, trying to cut down the awkward level. "Next weekend." Adam said, hugging Fiona tighter and she put her head on his head.
Spinner came to our table, "Hey Degrassi youngings, what are you going to have today?" Fiona ordered a soup for her and Adam to share, I ordered French Fries and Eli ordered French Fries too. Spencer came back a few minutes later with the food and we started eating.
"What're you guys doing for the aniversary?" Eli asked taking one of my fries from my plate and eating it before I could stop him. "I'm going to take him to this fancy diner Declan told me about and then we're going to go to his house to watch movies."
"Yea, movies." Adam smirked and Fiona laughed. Fiona asked, "Clare, are you still on your hunt for a boyfriend?" I nodded and said, "I am, but there's like no one out there."
"Of course there is! You'll find him someday Clare, he's out there." Fiona said, looking at Adam. I'm glad Fiona was around because she always encouraged me.
After the date, I went to the library with Eli. He wanted to get some books for inspiration for the story he was writing. "So, what kind of books would 'inspire' you?" I joked. Eli said, "Mysteries, Dramas, anything where someone gets murdered." First, we went to the mysteries section and Eli found 2 books he liked. I looked at the title of the books he got,"The Death of My Girlfriend and The Curious Cases?" I asked him. "Those books had the most interesting summaries." Eli said and we went to the dramas.
In the dramas, Eli said all the books there were silly, high school dramas that were nothing like real high school and made highschoolers seem like moody demons. It was true, I read one for English class and I regretted all the time I spent on it. I even had to write a report on what my 'favorite' part was. I just picked the part where the main character had a fight wih the Math teacher.
We went to the front desk and checked out the books. Eli went home and I walked to Alli's house. When I opened the door, Alli's brother, Sav, stood at the door. "Hey Clare, Alli's upstairs." I nodded and went to Alli's room and knocked on her door.
"Come in!" She yelled and I opened her door. Alli was in her room on her laptop, scrolling through some news page. "Hey Alli." I said, pulling out a chair and sitting next to her.
"Oh, hey Clare." Alli said, turning around and facing me.
"What did you do today?" I asked her.
"Just sat in my room all day. You?"
"Me and Eli went on a double date with Adam and Fiona."
Alli looked down, "Oh c-cool, that's nice."
"You OK?" I asked her, because she started looking sad.
"I'm alright, just bored." Alli said, suddenly cheering up.
"OK, so let's watch a movie!" I said, going to her infamous movie stack. I decided we should watch Mean Girls and I ended up spending the night.
