Eli's POV
There is one week left before we are out of school for the summer and I can't wait. Especially because I will be getting my driver's permit that week and then the following weekend there is going to be a DeadHand reunion concert and my dad was able to get me four backstage tickets to it so I'm taking Julia, Sav and his girlfriend Anya.
"Hey Eli, you remember Holly J right?" how could I forget her she was the reason why I couldn't spend much time with Julia. I nodded at her and she continued "Well her boyfriend Declan," I cut her off "the guy that produced that awful school play?" she giggled when I said this and nodded.
"Well anyway he is having a pool party on the last day of school it is supposed to be for Seniors and Juniors only but since I am one of the best baby sitter's Holly J has she invited me and a guest, so what do you say?" she looked at me with hopeful eyes.
I hated parties people were always trying to show off and no one ever acted like themselves. I guess Julia could tell that I was about to say no because she started pouting and batting her eyes. I'm a sucker for her so I had no choice but give in.
"Fine we can go to the pool party." I said with a smirk on my face she smiled at me and wrapped her arms around my neck. "You are the perfect boyfriend, did you know that?" she said kissing my cheek.
"I have been told that many times." I sarcastically said to her, Julia playfully hit me in my arm and rolled her eyes she took my hand and dragged me to our next class.
Clare's POV
I was in the MI lab when suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder I jumped and quickly turned around to see Declan standing behind me.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you, prop-master Clare." He gave me an apologetic smile I chuckled and closed the page I was working on.
"What's up Declan?" he sat next to me and handed me an envelope. "What's this?" I asked him eying the envelope in my hand.
"Well open it to find out" he told me.
I opened the envelope and took out the card inside of it, it was an invitation to a pool party at his house. I read the invite and looked up to smile at him.
"It's supposed to be for seniors and juniors only but you are my prop-master and my friend so I wanted to invite you, it's for you and one guest so bring that boyfriend of yours if you want." He stood up from the chair.
"Sounds like fun I will see you there." I smiled at him. He walked towards the door and I turned my attention back to my work.
"Oh before I forget you have to wear a bikini I don't want none of that one piece bathing suit there, ok?" I felt my cheeks begin to burn but I nodded at him anyway.
That evening I called Alli and Jenna over to my house I had to tell them about the party and I needed them to go shopping with me to find the perfect bikini.
"Shut up, you, little saint Clare are going to a pool party in a bikini!" Alli exclaimed when I told them about my invite.
"Ok who are you and what have you done with our friend?" Jenna joked back.
"It's not that hard to believe I am growing and changing, come on guys it's not that big of a deal" I shot back at them as I lay on my bed looking up at my ceiling.
"Not a big deal, are you kidding me?" Alli says pulling me up by arms so I am sitting down looking at her. "This is a senior and junior party and you and KC are going to be the only niners there, not to mention that your secret crush asked you to wear a bikini." Jenna nodded agreeing with the statement that Alli made.
I guess they were right it was sort of a big deal and that is why I called them so they could help me pick out a bathing suit.
"Fine, let's just go to the mall so I can buy a bathing suit." I got up from my bed and walked to my bedroom door Alli and Jenna followed close behind. I walked downstairs my parents were in the living room watching TV.
"Mom, Dad can one of you drive us to the mall?" I asked them, they turned to look at us we all had smiles on our face my dad nodded and put the control down.
"Do you want to come along Helen? We can walk around while the girls shop." My agreed so we all went to my dad's car.
When we got to the mall we went our separate ways Alli, Jenna and I headed to Bikini Village we figured this store would be the best bet to find the perfect bikini. We walked in the store and we all went our separate ways to try and cover more ground Alli picked three bikinis Jenna picked four and I picked two we met at the dressing rooms.
"Ok here you go try them on and come out and show us that way we can pick the best one." Alli squealed I walked into the dressing room and started trying them on, there were some that I just would never wear so I didn't even bother to show them I finally narrowed it down to three a pink one a blue one and a black and white one. After showing Alli and Jenna we all picked the black and white one it was different from anything else I would wear but that's kind of what I wanted to go for.
It bottom is black with a white belt and on the belt buckle it has a little skull and the top is also black but it has white skinny lines you buckle it on the front which I really like because that way you don't have to tie it around your neck and on the buckle there is another skull with little flowers around it.
I also got a white cover up dress and a pair of black flip flops. "Oh Clare you are going to look so good now if only we could get rid of your glasses." Alli stated I stuck my tongue out at her and she playfully slapped my shoulder.
Eli's POV
It was finally here the last day of school I walked to Julia's locker she was still cleaning it out I on the other hand had cleaned it out last week although I think it helped that I didn't have much in it other than my text books.
"Hey Julia you ready?" She turned to look at me and smiled.
"Yeah I just finished" she said throwing away one last piece of paper in the trashcan next to her locker and closing it for the last time.
"Good, let me take you home so you can get changed for this awesome pool party and I will be back to pick you up." I said in a sarcastic tone. I really didn't want to spend more time than I already had with this people. They didn't like me so I didn't like them but I would do anything to keep my Julia happy.
"Sounds good Elijah" Julia said walking towards the exit.
"Don't call me that please. It's just Eli" I shot at her it sounded meaner than I had intended it to but I really hate it when people call me Elijah. Julia just turned to look at me at with her big hazel eyes and gave me a weak smile.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound mean." I whispered taking her hand and kissing her cheek.
I dropped Julia off at her house and walked to mine the walk was not that long it only took me ten minutes to get there. I went upstairs to my room and changed into my black and red shorts with a skull on the side. I grabbed a black t-shirt and my towel and headed back out of the house.
When I got back to Julia's house she was already outside waiting for me her older brother was driving us to Declan's house so as soon as I got there Julia poked her head in the house and called out for him to let him know we were ready to go.
The drive took about fifteen minutes when we finally arrived there were cars and people all around already. We walked into the house which is huge the butler showed us to the back were the pool party was taking place.
Julia was the first to walk out I followed close behind Holly J was greeting a few people and when she saw Julia she walked over to us.
"Hey I'm glad that you guys could make it. So is this your boyfriend?" Holly J said looking at me up and down Julia nodded and introduced us.
"Well come over here I want you to meet Declan and a few of my friends." We followed Holly J towards the grill there were a few people around that I recognized from school, the drummer from Sav's band was also here.
Clare's POV
KC what is taking you so long we are going to be late? I was pacing back and forth in my bedroom KC was supposed to pick me up and his mom was supposed to drive us to the party but he still wasn't here.
Just as I was about to call him I hear a honk outside my house I look out the window and see KC's mom's car in our driveway. I run downstairs and as I am heading out the door I call out to my parents "KC is here I'll be back later." I ran out the door but I still heard my mom tell my dad "I don't like that this KC boy doesn't even have the courtesy to come to the front door and ask for Clare."
I tried to push that thought away but it did bother me that he honked to get me out here instead of going to my front door and greeting my parents.
"Hey Sweetie, how are you?" KC's mom asked me when I got in the car.
"I'm good thanks Mrs. Guthrie." KC's mom is a beautiful woman she has dark brown hair she is slender and has brown eyes she really is a sweet lady and she really likes me which is a plus.
"Oh don't call Mrs. Guthrie, call me Lisa." I smile at her and she winks at me through the rearview mirror.
We arrive at Declan's house I have been here before while we were getting stuff ready for the play. So when I rang the doorbell the butler knew right away who I was.
"Ms. Edwards welcome the party is in the back." He points to the back door and KC and I walk to the backyard as soon as I get there I spot Declan and Holly J they are by the grill with a group of people from school. Even Spinner is at the party which is great I haven't seen him in a long time.
"Prop-master Clare, get over here" Declan calls out to me KC and I walk up to him and Declan wraps his arms around me giving me a big hug. I smile and hug him back then he whisper in my ear "I hope that you are wearing a bikini under that dress." I begin to blush.
Eli's POV
"This is Spinner Jane's Boyfriend, Peter, Danny, Leia, Chantey, Peter, Sav, Anya, Fiona and Declan" She says pointing at her boyfriend they all look at us and smile.
"Prop-master Clare, get over here" Declan says to a cute girl, she has long curly hair and wears glasses she is wearing a white dress and black flip flops.
Declan pulls the girl into a hug and she begins to blush.
"I can't believe Declan would hug a girl in front of Holly J" Julia tells me in my ear I just roll my eyes at her comment and continue to talk to Sav.
