Chapter 3
his French class.
Saturday came faster then Clare wanted it to. She didn't want to work on anything with Eli let alone that it was only going to be them in the house because her mom got an extra shift at work and now she won't be home until much, much later which meant working with Eli at her house alone and she didn't want that what if he did something to her that she didn't want him to do, what if the whole time he was over he picked on her, about her house, room, lack of a father, anything.
Clare had written her part of the assignment a couple nights prior to today and it was saved on her computer in her room. Clare had just finished drying her hair from the shower she had, she had yoga pants and a tee-shirt on, her typical weekend clothes when she's not doing anything special. Just as she unplugged it from the wall her phone went off in her room, she quickly put the hair dryer under the sink and went to get her phone. She had received a text message, from Eli.
I'm on my way
–Eli
You didn't have to text me that, you could have just came.
-Clare
Just trying to be considerate.
-Eli
Thanks then. Just come in when you get here.
-Clare
He never answered her after that so she went down stairs and grabbed a drink from the fridge and bit into an apple and nearly dropped it when the door opened a little. "Clare?" Eli asked trying to make sure this was the right house. Clare set her apple down and went over to the door.
"I'm right here." Clare said opening the door the rest of the way
"hi." He said stepping in the rest of the way.
"Hello…do you want something to drink before we start?" she asked trying to be polite but she didn't think she was doing very well.
"No thanks, I'm good." He said looking around.
"Come on then." Clare said she just wanted to get the project over with so Eli could leave and she can relax again. Eli followed her up the stairs
"You trying to hook up with me, Edwards?" Clare stopped and Eli nearly ran into her and she turned around and looked at him.
"Why would I ever want to do that?" She asked raising her eyebrows
"I was just kidding, Clare." he said in all seriousness, she started going up again and went to her room , when Eli stepped into her room it looked nothing like he thought it would dark red walls matching bed spreads pictures of family and friends – he guessed- were above her bed and taped to her mirror. It was nothing that he thought.
"Did you write you're part?" she asked him sitting in the chair that was tucked into the desk that had her laptop on it. He pulled out an usb from his pocket.
"Yup, it's all done." He pasted it to her "don't worry, I did do it." He finished. Clare took it and plugged it into her laptop it popped up and Clare saved the file to hers.
"Can I read yours?" Eli asked her she looked over at him.
"Uhh... if you want…" she said "just let me put them together first." She copied and pasted Eli's to her and fixed it a little so they flowed more into each other and saved it then got up so he could read it, they traded spots and Eli started reading it, Clare never wanted to say it out loud but Eli was good looking, the thing she liked the most was his green eyes and his crooked smile. But everybody thought that, so it was normal in her mind to think that but not say it out loud…ever.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." He said not even looking at her with a chuckle, snapping her out of her thoughts, she didn't even notice that she was staring at him , she looked down and twilled her thumbs, until Eli sat next to her on her bed saying,
"It's really good by the way."
"Thanks…but you don't have to say that."
"Yes I do, it's ten times better then mine, believe me." She looked at him and then back down at her hands. And let out a breath.
"Alright, if you say so." Clare could see him smile in the corner of her eye, he hasn't been mean to her once, and she was so confused about that. The project was done basically but he didn't leave, and Clare didn't tell him to leave either, they had started a conversation and both of them learned about each other a bit they were both laughing and joking around with each other and just enjoyed being around herself an before they knew it, it was about the time they would eat dinner and they were both hungry.
"I can hear you're stomach." Eli pointed out, Clare laughed.
"I didn't know it was that loud, shhh! Be quiet." She said to her stomach he laughed quietly he thought her talking to her stomach was cute, he thought her laugh was even cuter though.
"Call for pizza, I'll pay." He said
"okay." She reached over to her phone and looked through the numbers she had saved in it and called the pizza place. After she ordered a medium pizza with cheese and pepperoni on it she looked over at a chuckling Eli
"What?"
"Just the fact that you have a pizza place in your contacts." He answered
"Don't laugh! I need a quick way to get food when I hang out with Bianca, that girl eats more that she makes it seem." She defended herself. They went on about this for a while until Clare made him come down stairs with her to watch her favorite movie that was playing today the titanic
"Clare, come on, really? This?" he said as it started
"Yes, Eli really!" about 20 minutes into the movie the door bell ringed and Eli didn't hesitate to answer the door just to get away from the movie for five minutes, Eli paid the guy and brought the box over and set it on the coffee table, the two dug in Clare ate two and a half while Eli ate most of the rest of it, man, and Clare thought Bianca could eat.
It was around 10:30ish when Eli decided he needed to get home, Clare had fallen asleep laying on his shoulder he had to admit it not out loud but in his head that he can't hide the fact anymore by being mean to her that he likes her and has since the first time he saw her in ninth grade in his French class. But he's never had the guts to tell her an he knows he messed but the chances of her even liking him anyway and when he started hanging out with who he does now he had to hide it 20 times harder.
she looked adorable when she slept in his eyes, so when he got up, he got up ever so carefully and laid her down back on the couch and wrote on top of the pizza box when he left and that if she ever want to hang out again don't be afraid to call.
Clare woke up around one later on , the TV was on still and was blinding her just a little she sat up and rubbed her eyes not caring that she had makeup on and most likely just made the mess worse , she saw the note on the top of the box that Eli had left her , and a smile grew on her face as she read it , Eli was different then what she thought he was , not once was he mean to her tonight or do anything to her that she didn't want done or pick on her , bug her about her no show dad. Maybe she would call him, they could be friends, she felt herself happier around him, He acted like a person she's always wanted to meet, but then the smile slowly went away.
This is the same boy that has been horrible to her for the past four years how on earth could she even be thinking any of this , that she thought he was good looking, different then what she thought, this is the same Eli and maybe…she isn't going to call him. She isn't going to be hurt anymore by this boy.
those things are called usb's right? if not sorry! you got the just of what i meant.
review, suggestions to make it better for you? please?
