Nobody reviews!
*breaks into fits of eyedrop induced tears*
haha. Okay well let's get on with it then shall we?
Eli's POV
Today was the day. Today was the day I was going to get back together with Clare. I mentally squealed with glee at the thought. I needed to look my best. I think I'm going to wear the shirt I wore on the first day of school. The shirt that I wore when I first met Clare, I had no idea how much she would change my life. I put on the shirt and then picked some acid wash jeans to go with it. I think I looked pretty good, maybe even swoon worthy. Get a hold of yourself Goldsworthy; the day hasn't even begun yet.
Clare's POV
I woke up happy. Today was the day! I was uber excited. I decided that I had to look amazing. I picked out 10 different things from my closet until I decided. A jean jacket paired with a snug pink button down shirt and jeans. I looked like the old me, well before the whole depression thing. I really wanted Eli to know that I was ready to get back together. Today had to go perfect. I just hope my nerves wouldn't get the best of me.
Alli's POV
I was at school early to meet Adam to go over our plan. It was so brilliant and Clare would love me for it, after.
"So, are you ready? So repeat your part."
"Okay so I have to lead Eli into the empty classroom by telling him that I need to tell him something. And after he gets in I close the door and lock it."
"Correct! And I'll do my part to lead Clare into the classroom, through the other door."
"Pretty easy I'd say. You're an evil genius Bhandari."
"I try." I smiled and went to my locker to get ready for class.
Eli's POV
I was practically skipping on my way to school; I knew that it was going to be perfect. I could feel it! I was late for my first class so I would have to talk to her later.
Class ended and I went to my locker, hoping to find her there. But I found Adam instead.
"Sup dude?"
"Nothing much, I have to tell you something though."
"Yeah sure what's up? Is it about this Alice girl?"
He looked sheepish and said,
"Yeah, but I can't tell you here, let's um, go to that classroom, the one near the cafeteria."
Well that was vague, but I said sure and followed.
"We're almost there, dude this girl is so awesome-"
I went inside the classroom and in a split second I found myself locked in.
"Dude what the hell?"
"You need to talk to Clare! Alli and I are making sure it will happen!"
"You dumbass! I was going to do that today anyway! Remember? I told you last night!" I didn't like being locked in a room.
"Oh well! The plan continues!"
I heard his footsteps lead away from the door and I couldn't believe he'd leave me here.
"Damn it Adam!" I kicked the door. Ouch.
I guess all there was left to do was to wait for Clare. Torture.
Clare's POV
I walked into school confident that I would have a great day. I walked around the corner and I saw Alli running towards me so fast I thought she would run into me.
"Ah! Alli what's wrong?"
"Oh my god you have to come with me. I have to show you something!"
She was determined to have me follow her, so I didn't protest. She practically dragged me along with her until she shoved me into a classroom.
"Alli what-"
"Sorry Clare!"
I heard her lock the door and I realized I was stuck in here.
"Alli Bhandari you are so dead!"
I tried fiddling with the lock but it wouldn't budge.
"Ahem."
I slowly turned around and noticed Eli standing there in all his glory. He smirked at me and brushed his hair out of his eyed. I immediately started to blush. Freakin A. Eli Looked completely and utterly phenomenal. Oh my god, was that the shirt that he wore the first day we met? I sighed at the fact that he remembered. I stared at him in awe as my throat closed up, preventing me from saying everything I needed to. Damn.
"Uh, hi Clare, I think we're stuck here."
"Y-yeah, I guess we are." I didn't usually stutter, but Eli affected my vocal chords, frequently.
"You're cute when you're nervous." He smiled and moved closer.
"Thanks, I guess we should talk."
"Yeah, I figured out why I was so quick to believe the rumors about you."
"Really? So have I. You go first."
"Well, I've never really had a true friend, they all used me for my money. I also never really had a girlfriend that was with me for me. Except for Julia. But I ruined that; I also never thought I was good enough for anyone after her. So I have to work on my trust, because I will not lose you to something as stupid as a rumor."
I could've jumped him right then and there. It was sad that he had such a lonely life, but I would make sure it was lonely no more.
"I won't lose you to a rumor either Eli. I believed the rumor because I thought it was just a matter of time before you hurt me. I've never been the girl that boys stare at, and KC broke my heart. I actually still don't know why you're with me, because I don't think I'm anything special, just normal. But if you want me, I won't leave."
After I finished my piece I immediately felt Eli's lips against mine. Our soft lips touched and his taste was intoxicating. I wanted more, my lips ached to keep kissing his, after not having tasted them for so long. Eli's hands cupped my face and my hands wrapped around his waist. His tongue begged for entrance and I let him in. His tongue roamed my mouth knowing what to do, what I liked. He bit my lip and left me wanting more. I pouted.
"Clare, you don't understand how special you are. All girls pale in comparison to you. You're unique in every wonderful way, and your presence makes me whole. When we're together I can't help but be close to you, it's magnetic. So you see Clare, I can't be without you. You are not normal, you are breathtaking. Smart, bold, quirky and caring, everything that makes you perfect. You will always and forever be my one and only."
As tears rolled down my cheeks, Eli kissed them away. I knew he was mine, and I was his.
I was so distracted when I wrote this, I hope it was good.
