Eli's POV
It is now almost 11:30 PM and the only thing I've done since I've been home from school is sit on my ass, watch TV, and listen to Silverstein.
You'd think when your parents go on vacation that there's this perfect opportunity there to do whatever the hell you want. Too bad there's nothing to do here since of course I don't know a lot of people let alone what there is to do in this place.
Being the new kid in town sucks big time. But since I've got here only one specific person has had an effect on me. Clare Edwards. I don't know what it is about her. Her crazy beautiful blue eyes or the fact that she's not the type of girl I would usually chase after.
She has a certain innocence about her that I find strangely attractive. I don't even know her and yet I feel like I know all there is to know about her. This probably sounds crazy, but now I may believe in love at first sight.
So, this is what it feels like, huh?
I need to keep my mind off of Clare. Maybe I'll just go driving around for a bit. After all, wandering around is probably what I do best.
I grabbed the keys to my hearse and right as I opened the door, I saw a hesitant Clare.
She stepped back.
I started to speak. "Clare, what are you doing here?"
Clare grinned at me. "What? No hi Clare how's it going?" She asked sarcastically.
"Ahh I see my sarcasm's grown on you." I said with a smirk. "So you didn't come here to have me look over this week's English assignment?" I raised my eyebrow and chuckled.
"Nothing ever changes with you, does it?" Clare smiled that smile that I love and then gave me a playful push.
"Uh," Clare started, "Can I come in?" "No, I just thought I'd make you stand here all night." I teased. She stood there and gave me one of her looks so I gestured for her to come in. She was scoping out my place as I shut the door.
"Aw, Eli you look so adorable!" Clare joked as she pointed to a picture that was hanging on the wall. It was a picture of me when I was 5.
I smiled at her. "Alright Clare, I'm sure you didn't come here to look at old family photos of me. What's really going on?"
She stood silently for a moment as the smile faded from her face. "Here, why don't we go downstairs to my room?" I offered. She nodded and followed as I led her to my not so humble abode.
We sat down on my bed and she glanced down at the floor. Something is really bugging her. "Clare, is everything alright?" I questioned. A single tear rolled down her pale cheek. "It's complicated." Clare replied. "I'm sure I can follow." I replied back daring to crack a smile.
I was sure this could only be going in one direction…
Please review, favorite, go crazy! Tell me how I did. Feel free to share your ideas with me. (:
