Chapter 4
Later That Day with Eli
The bell rings and I jump up, grab my back pack and rush out of that horrible room I dreaded to be in. I take out my BlackBerry, and dialled in some numbers. There were a couple of rings and then the phone was picked up.
"Hey Babe, What's up?" The person spoke, with a raspy voice, sounding tired.
"Hey Jewels, Nothing much, just getting outta suspension." Eli Said, walking out the doors of the school and to his hearse, his phone still in hand.
"Oh baby, what happen?" Julia asked, her voice spoke with fake concern.
"This girl in the hall decided to ** me off, so she got what was coming to her and she told the teacher, then I broke her glasses, then I got suspension for a week." He spoke, opening his car door and sat inside, laying one hand on the steering wheel and the other on his phone.
"Oh Boy...That girl should know not to mess with my bad boy" She replied, giggling right after. Eli Chuckled, Putting the keys into the ignition, and starting the hearse. He backed out of the parking lot and drove down the road.
"Jewels, Wanna hang out today?" Eli replied driving down the road to his house.
"I'd love to!" She squeaked, giggling lots.
"Okay Babe, I'll pick you up at seven" Eli said chuckling then ended his call.
With Clare, at the Salon
We walk into the Salon and find a lady at the front desk filing her nails with a light pink nail file. Also I see some ladies doing people's hair off to the side where there were, mirrors, tables, scissors, combs, hair spray, bobby pins, and other hair products from many different countries.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The brunette haired chick asked them, looking really bored glancing at them.
"Hello my name is Mrs. Edwards, and we would like to make an appointment for right now if you guys aren't busy." Helen asked trying to be friendly.
The chick who's name tag read Jazmain looked at her schedule with a sigh, before turning back towards the two, and faked a smile.
"Wow, you guys got lucky" she said boringly.
Clare grinned big as she clapped her hands together, the chick sighed once more and tapped her fingers on the counter.
"Really?" Clare asked excitingly.
"Yeah, we have one more lady who could do your hair, she's in that room right there." She said, pointing to the room that was right next to the bathroom.
Clare nodded, as her mom told her that she would pay for it right now, and told her to make her way inside. Clare nodded once again, before making her way over to the room. As she walked in, a lady with long red hair who looked to be at least in her thirties, stood there and was reading a hair styling magazine.
"Hello…" Clare said nervously.
The lady looked up from her magazine and smiled sweetly at Clare. She made her way over to her and told her to sit in the chair. Clare nodded as she made her way over to the dark black chair that was in the corner.
"Well sweetie, what would you like for me to do today?" The lady asked Clare, as she was combing out her hair, and spraying it with a water bottle.
"I want a short hair cut, you know, up past my shoulder, a little bit below my jaw line." Clare said quietly.
"Alright sweetie, just hang on tight, I'll just made your hair wet, then start cutting, it won't take long."
Clare closed her eyes, and listened as her hair started to get cut, a couple minutes later she opened her eyes to look into the mirror, and gasped once she saw that her hair was mostly gone. The lady saw Clare's shocked expression and smiled.
"Don't be so shocked honey; you'll love it in the end."
Clare didn't say anything, just continued to be quiet. She was used to her hair being really long, ever since she was in grade eight, and only wore a school uniform. Twenty minutes later, she was finally done. When she looked in the mirror, she had reddest brown hair that was just below her jaw line. Gasping at the sight, she covered her mouth in amusement, and the first thing that came to her head was.
Will Eli like it? If he does will it stop making him bulling her?
She thanked the lady, and walked out to her mom's car, she got in and her mom squealed with excitement.
"Oh my gosh honey! That looks so good!" Helen said as she eyed Clare.
"Thanks mom." She said with a smile.
"Now we HAVE to go shopping!" Her mom giggled, making Clare groan.
"Really mom, do we have too?" She wined like a little kid.
"Yes, now come on, we don't have very long." Helen said, before starting the engine and driving to the mall.
At the Mall
As they got to the mall, they walked down the walkway and into the Lululemon clothing store, as the walked in they started walking towards the black stretchy pants with different colors on the top. Looking through the clothes, Clare finally picked out one that was light blue on the top, and the rest were black, Helen picked out the hoodie, it was Light blue to match the pants and it had the Lululemon logo on it, She nodded with satisfaction, and walked into the dressing room to try it on, it took her a few seconds to try it on, once she got out, her mom smiled at her.
"Well sweetie, do you like it?" She asked curiously, crossing her fingers with hope.
"I love it mom, thanks!" Clare grinned as she hugged her mom tightly.
"I'm going to find you another outfit, stay right here!"
Clare nodded, as her mom ran down to the other side of the store, looking for more outfits. Clare rocked her feet back and forth, with her hands behind her back.
With Jake
"Mommmm, do I really have to do this?" Jake wined to his mother, as they walked into the Lululemon store; it was his mom's all time favourite store.
"Yes, today is the day I told you for the last two weeks that we were going shopping as mother and son time!" Christine (Jake's mother) wined back.
"But mom, I have to practice with my band today!" Jake groaned, as he continued to walk into the store.
"So? I told you that we were going to have mother and son shopping time!" She said, as they argued.
"Whatever, let's just get this done and over with." Jake said as he stopped the fight, mostly because he hated fighting with his mom, because he knows he never wins.
"Thank you! Now stay right here while I go find an outfit for my interview with my boss tonight."
He couldn't even reply, because she has already left. Jake groaned and shoved his hands into his pockets, and looked around the store. His eyes widened once he saw a person standing with her back to him, he pinned his eyebrows together in confusion and walked closer to her, mostly because he thought that he knew her. As he got closer, he knows that he knew that person, it was Clare!
"Clare!" He exclaimed, she turned around and smiled once she saw it was him.
"Hey Jake, what are you doing here at Lululemon store? Knowing you, I would have known you would have shopped here." She said with a chuckle.
"Actually, I'm here because my mom dragged me here." He said, as he rubbed the back of his neck bashfully, looking easterly embarrassed.
Clare laughed, then they stood there not saying anything for the next couple of minutes, until Jake decided to make a conversation.
"Hey Clare…I was meaning to ask you something…" Jake replied nervously.
"Yeah?" Clare said with her cheery attitude.
He took out his cell phone, and smiled at her.
"Would you like to go on a date with me tonight, if you do, then can I have your number?"
Clare giggled at his nervousness, before nodding, and took a hold of his hand. She took her phone out of her pocket, and passed it to him while he passed her his phone.
"Here Jake, here's my number" Clare said, handing him back his phone.
"Yeah now I put mine in yours too, I'll pick you up around seven?" He asked, as he handed hers back.
"Okay, I'll see you tonight."
"Alright, now if you'll excuse me, I have to find my retarded mother."
They both shared a laugh, before Jake walked away. Right as he walked away, Helen came back, squealing and giggling.
"I heard the whole conversation! Your going on a date, so that means, We need to buy you a dress!"
"Mom, why can't I just wear the one we bought that year? I haven't even wore that yet! Your spoiling me!" Clare exclaimed.
"So? I like shopping!"
Clare groaned and crossed her arms across her chest.
"Fine…"
Helen smiled at her daughter, before dragging her to Sears. Once they got into the store, Helen made her way to the dress section and pulled out a bunch of dresses, most that Clare didn't approve of. After ten dresses later, she found a short pink dress with a pink belt around the middle under her breast line.
"How about this one?" Helen asked, holding up the dress so she could see.
"Gosh mom, I love it!" Clare squealed, as she took the dress her mom was holding and walked into the purple dressing room.
After a few minutes later, she came out with the pink dress and twirled around so her mom could see her back.
"Oh Clare, it looks wonderful!" Her mom said as she covered her mouth with her hands, with a gasp.
"Thanks, but do you think it's good enough for a date?"
"Oh yes, if the guy doesn't It, then he's weird." That comment made Clare laugh.
She walked back into the dressing room, and took off the dress, before walking back out, they walk over to the counter and bought the dress.
Later that night
Clare has already put on the dress, and was just about done her makeup. She put on shinny red lipstick, and black eye shadow. She smiled at herself in the mirror, before making her way down the stairs, as she did, her mom help up a box of contacts for her to wear so she wouldn't have to wear her glasses.
"Here you go sweetie, take care of those, okay?" Her mom warned as she handed her the contacts.
"Thanks mom."
She opened up the box, and put in two contacts. She laid her glasses on the table, and looked up at her mom.
"So, do I look pretty decent?"
"Yes, you look beautiful!" Helen exclaimed as she hugged her daughter.
She hugged back, before saying goodbye and texted Jake on her way out. She shut the door behind her, and leaned against it.
Clare: Hey Jake, where are you?
Jake: I'll be there in a minute.
Clare: Kk
She closed her phone, and put it in her pocket of the jacket she was wearing. It didn't take long for Jake to get there, but once he did, he looked stunning. He was wearing a black tux with a grey tie and grey vest with a white briefer underneath and black shinny shoes.
"Wow Jake…" Clare gasped
"Yeah, you look really good yourself Clare, wow…just…wow…" Jake said, stumbling, trying to find the best words to describe her.
"Thanks…are you ready to go?" Clare asked with a blush.
He nodded, the opened the door for her, she thanked him then got in. He got into his side of his car, and drove off.
At the restaurant
Once they got to the restaurant, Jake let Clare pick a table. She picked a table right next to a window. Once they got to the table, Clare laid her purse on the seat, and laid both of her hands on the table, waiting for the waiter or waitress.
"Soo…" Jake said, trying to make a conversation.
"Soo…" She mocked, teasingly.
He chuckled then took her hand, and rubbed his finger over her palm. Right as they started talking, the waiter came by and asked them what they wanted.
"Could I have a Salad with little pieces of ham, and cheese in it? And a water." Clare asked, looking up at the waiter.
He nodded and looked at Jake.
"A steak with mashed potatoes, and a Coke, please." Jake asked politely.
The waiter nodded at them once again, before taking off into the kitchen. After he left, Clare was about to say something, but they suddenly heard the door open, when they looked over, they saw Eli walk in with a very slutty looking girl standing next to him. Clare's eyes widened, who is this women? And why is she wearing such showy clothing? She was wearing a short black dress that had a shinny sliver pattern going around the waist up to around her breast, and it was strapless, and was frilled out at the bottom.
Jake seemed to have noticed what Clare was looking at, and his eyes went as wide as Clare's did, once he saw the girl. Eli has never said anything about a girl being his life, so they had not idea.
"Who's that girl?" Clare asked, pointing at the mystery girl.
"I don't know, Eli's never mentioned a girl." Jake said, glancing at Clare then back at Eli.
Clare then took her eyes off of the girl and moved to Eli, she couldn't help but admit that he did look really attractive right now, he was wearing a red tux with a black briefer and also a black vest, with a black tie, and lastly, black slacks. When she moved her eyes up and down his body, she finally got back up to his eyes, and saw that he was doing the same thing that she was doing, checking her out.
With Eli
Tonight was the night where I am going on a date with Julia, right now I was right outside her house, waiting for her to get ready. She finally walked out after ten minutes, and my jaw dropped at what she was wearing. She was wearing a short black dress with a shinny grey design in the middle right underneath her breast line. She looked so sexy, and so slutty.
She waved at me, before getting into my hearse.
"Hello baby." She said, as she pulled me into a quick kiss.
"Hey." I said, as we pulled away.
I turned on Morty and started driving to the restaurant, it took us a few minutes to get there, and once we did, we got out of Morty and walked in. As we walked in, the first thing I saw was Jake and Clare sitting at a table together. I couldn't help by drool at what Clare was wearing, and also think what the hell was going on. He locked eyes with her, as he moved his eyes up and down her body, checking her out.
But the next thing that happened next shocked him, Jake grabbed hold of her chin and pulled her close to him kissing her deeply, then he saw Clare's eyes go wide at what he was doing…
