The rest of the day went by really slow. I wanted to get home and check my msn. then finally the bell rung and i was out of the school so fast i didnt even take time to talk to Eli. I knew he wouldn't tell me so i went for the sure thing.

I ran through my front door. Mother was preparing supper.

"hey honey, how was your day?" - i didn't stop to answer that question i just yelled "good" on my way up the stairs.

I bolted into my bedroom and practically bee lined it to my computer. Of course it was off and it took SO LONG to start up it felt like hours but in reality it was on 3 minutes. FINALLY! i clickes the MSN messanger icon about 20 times- bad idea because of course 10 windows popped up causeing me more time! i cant believe it why didn't he just tell me it would have been alot easier!

Then right when i signed in a window popped up- it was our conovosation. With my heart racing i read,

Eli-CLAIR! i am sooo sorry! My laptop died i signed back on as soon as i could! but you are already gone. but before all that happened i was going to say that you have it all wrong clair- which must be new for you ;)! I want you i have always wanted you ! sence the day i ran over your glasses! I feel all the things you do- the butterflies, oh how they drive me crazy! I Love you. im just afraid that your going to realize that you are way out of my league and break up with me! I would much rather us just be friends than risk that heart break in the future. I am sorry if i hurt your feelings in this computer misunderstanding. I just hope you can forgive me.

omg! he loves me? but he thinks i am going to break his heart! i am really confuzed like did he miss the part where i said i love him! Urg! i wrote out my response but he wasn't online so before i sent it i thought.. i have questions that need to be answered ! and they need to be answered now! so insted i called him.

It didn't even do a full ring before he picked up.

"I have been expecting a call"
" meet me at the park in 5."
i hung up then ran out the door. When i got to the park Eli was already there sitting on top of a picnic table. I walked over to him. i spoke first "Hey"
"hi, so you read the message?"
"yeah and i have some questions."
"go for it."
"what did you mean by 'you are out of my league'?"
"Clair, your beautiful, smart, independent and you notice things other people dont! your not like other girls!.You should be with some handsome jock or something not some goth boy with amazing hair." by now he was up and pacing a 5 foot line "Eli! dont talk about yourself that way! And you just said it yourself! i am not like other girls! I do notice things other people dont!- like the real you! The Eli on the inside- the one who is not so tough as he acts, the guy who loves to dance but would never show it. The Eli I Love." i stood up our faces just inches away. "So would you just get over this league stuff and kiss me!" and that moment our lips crashed together in the most passionate kiss. I felt as if sparks were fly as i dragged my fingers his beautiful hair. i felt his hands around my waist pulling me closer so every part of our bodies were touching. I stopped for a second to catch my breath, then it just slipped out.

"so, this means were back together right?"
he stopped from kissing my neck and broght his head up to mine we stared at eachother, then "if thats alright with you" he said it with a smirk.
I kissed him, and then when i had a chance i said, "of course!"
