She may not remember her best friend from preschool perfectly. But neither did he. Clare Edwards meets and old friend, at a new school. Will their old relationship turn into something more then they ever imagined?


October 20, 2000

"Ready to go, class?" Mrs. Anderson asked her class of eager preschoolers.

The school decided to go on a field trip, to the zoo. Everyone's favorite.

"Ready!" They said in unison, and lined up at the door to be lead out to the bus awaiting them.

Eli made sure to stand behind Clare, so he could hold her hand as expected by everyone so no one got lost.

Clare looked back at him and smiled softly, squeezing his hand a little.

He grinned, widely at her and they walked out of the class room and hopped on the bus. Mrs. Anderson had assigned them bus buddies so of course they sat together.

"Whats your favorite animal?" Eli asked Clare randomly, when everyone was situated and the bus was on its way.

"Um.. Tiger." she grinned and nodded towards him. "Whats yours?"

"Gorilla." he smirked a bit and looked out the window, watching the world go by.

"Eli?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yes. Just thinking about Halloween." he stated with a grin.

"Really? What are you going as?"

"Aladdin."

"Really? Can i go with you as Jasmine?" Clare asked excitedly.

Eli's face immediately lit up and he grinned widely.

"Yes."

"Yay! This will be soooo fun! I can ask my mommy to take us, unless your mommy would want too?" Clare rambled on and on until Eli gripped her shoulders and leaned his forehead against hers.

"Calm. Down." he grinned and let go, moving back to his original position looking out the window.

"Sorry. I just really love Halloween.." Clare sighed and looked around.

"Well class, we're here!" Mrs. Anderson stated, interrupting Clare and Eli's conversation, as soon as the bus came to a stop in a large, crowded parking lot.

30 Minutes Later

"Eli look at the gorillas!" Clare squealed. She was definitely an animal lover, and Eli loved this about her.

She was so gentle, even for a 5 year old, it was cute to him.

"I see them. Aren't they cool?"

"Yes! They look super big. Way bigger then me!"

"They are.. They are heavy too."

"Cool!" Clare grinned from ear to ear and they moved onto the next exhibit, the penguins, polar bears and seals.

"I want a pet seal someday!" Clare stated as she admired the animals.

"Really? What would you name it?"

"Morty!"

"Why Morty?"

"I don't know. I really like that name." she smiled and Eli grinned.

Morty... hm.


Chapter IV

Eli's POV

"Eeeli!" Adam mumbled, trying to get his friends attention. "ELI!" he finally shouted, snapping me out of my daze.

"What?" i snapped, my eyes following the curly haired, blue eyed beauty and her dark skinned friend until they were out of sight.

"You can stop drooling now..." Adam stated with a lopsided grin.

"Sorry.. But what.. who.. was that?"

Drew opened his mouth with something i was Not expecting to come out. "Clare Edwards. Freshman. Little sister to Darcy Edwards.. The junior who accused Principal Simpson of rape, then moved to Kenya."

The words came out so smooth and care free but i felt as if i had just been hit with a boulder.

My mouth was ajar, and Adam's eyebrow was quirked in disbelief.

"How would YOU know th-" i started but Drew cut me off.

"I've know Alli for less then a day and i know more about her and her friends then i even know about myself. The girl can TALK." he exclaimed, though his eyes still on his comic.

Adam snorted and mumbled "Sucks for you..."

But my mind was somewhere else.

Why did her stunning blue eyes look so familiar?

My eyes fell to where she had just been sitting, beside me on the roof of Morty.

Was this a dream? No.. No! It couldn't be!

...

"Eli are you sure your okay?" Adam glanced over at him.

They were playing video games in Eli's living room. So far Adam was winning but Eli was completely out of it.

"Eli?"

"I'm fine." i replied, almost coldly.

"You don't seem fine.." he murmured. "I am. I'm just thinking about the girl... She seems so.. familiar."

"Every girl is familiar once you get them to sit on the hood of Morty." Adam winked.

"Pssh." Eli rolled his eyes slightly but smirked mentally.

...

*Eli's Dream*

"Having fun class?"

"Yes, Mrs. Anderson.." they all mumbled along with Eli.

He glanced over at his best friend. Clare. Her gorgeous blue eyes were boring into him.

"Clare?"

"Yes Eli?"

"Whats your favorite color?"

"Green. Why?"

"Just wondering. Mines black." he grinned a little and went back to pouring globs of glue all over the table, then sprinkling sparkles on top.

Mrs. Anderson noticed his mess making, and started scolding him.

"Eli! We don't waste glue and glitter all over the table!"

Eli rolled his eyes and went back to staring at Clare.

She was.. my best friend.

...

I sat up. Stunned.

Who was this girl?

Was it the same gorgeous girl?

..Whoa..

Now i know why i like blue eyes so much.

End Of Chapter 4.
