CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE

Eli walked back into the house with a smirk on his face. Everyone was in the house already. "Hey, where were you?" I asked him sarcastically. "I just went out to…think." I tilted my head and smirked, "Are you ok?" I asked. He looked at me breathed in and smirked, "I am great." Eli had something up his sleeve, and he wasn't telling me. I decided to not let it bother me, and have a great time. Ali ran over to me and screamed, "Ah! You look gorgeous!" I smiled at her and said, "You look amazing!" Eli walked in between us and flipped his hair, "Obviously I look the best here!" We both laughed. Eli wrapped his arms around my waist and said, "I am just kidding…" He said as he kissed me and smirked. "Alright everyone outside we are going to take pictures!" Ali's mom screamed gathering us together. Eli stood with his arm around my waist with his hand resting on my stomach.

"Oh wait…" He said before taking the picture. He pulled out a corsage. "Aw." I said. He placed it on my wrist, "What is a beautiful girl without a beautiful flower?" He smirked and went back to his normal position. We took pictures of every movement we made, even going into the limo. We all thanked Ali's mom. I never knew Eli was the picture type. Every picture she took, he stood out.

When we got to prom everyone sort of went their own way. I went with Eli, Ali went with Drew, and Adam hung out and danced with some girls. About two hours into prom, my hair was messy, I was sweating, my head was pounding from all the music and my feet were killing me. I don't think we stopped dancing. I don't think I stopped smiling that whole night. I just felt as if we had no boundaries. I had Eli, and that's all I needed. I glanced at Ali ever so often and she looked like she was wrapped around Drew so tight. Then, Eli leaned near my ear, "Why don't we go in the hallway for the slow dance?" I said, "They aren't doing it yet." He smirked, "Does it matter?" I grabbed his hand as we walked into the hallway. I saw Fitz on my way out as he smirked at me. I looked away. I laughed as Eli placed his hands on my waist. "Come on, I thought you were a good dancer?" He asked. I smiled, "Maybe if I had a good partner…" "Oh you think you're so funny," He told me pulling me closer. I felt his hard chest through my dress. I stared into his eyes and I felt lost. I leaned on his shoulder, "You know Clare, I don't know what I would do without you." I pulled back from his chest and said, "Oh really?" He tightened his grip on my waist and said, "No…Clare I really don't know where I'd be without you." I smiled and kissed him on the neck. "Although, I wish I didn't have a tease as a girlfriend." I said, "Teasing is what comes in the package." He smirked and glanced down the hallway and looked back at my eyes, "What else comes in this package Edwards?" I thought about it and said, "A whole bunch of Clare." He smiled and said, "Thank god…" He leaned in and went for my lips but kissed my neck. "Lucky for you, I can be a tease too." I smiled as I spun out of his grip.

We danced in the hallway when we heard a loud bang. "What the hell was that?" Eli said. "Go back inside!" Eli told me. "You can't go alone…are you crazy?" It sounded like someone banging on lockers. "Eli!" I grabbed his arm. "Stop! Come back in the gym!" Eli said, "It could be Adam…Clare!" I said, "Should I get Simpson?" He said, "If I don't come back in five minutes, tell Simpson." I nodded.

I ran back into the gym looking for Ali. I found her dancing with Drew, I grabbed her. "Ali..Ali!" I breathed in and out. "What Clare what's wrong?" She asked anxiously. "We were dancing in the hallway and then there was a bang and Eli went alone. What if he gets hurt?" I glanced looking for Fitz and KC… There were no sign of them. Ali whispered something in Drew's ear. "He isn't ruining this night for you Clare…Owen!" Drew screamed for Owen who was on the conga line. "Stay with Clare." Drew told Ali kissing her on the cheek. They split for the door and started walking. "Ali…I can't. What if something happens to Eli?" Ali looked at me and said, "Its Drew, Owen, Eli, and Adam against Fitz and KC. Who do you think is going to win?" I felt a sigh of relief. "Your right…" We danced together as five minutes went by.

"We should tell Simpson…" I said. Then, I glanced at the door as Adam, Drew, Owen, and Eli pranced in the door all smiling. Eli slapped hands with Owen. Eli walked over to me, none of them were hurt. "What happened?" I asked Eli. He said, "We all shoved KC and Fitz in lockers. Oh, you should have been there Clare…" I couldn't help myself but laugh. "Are you happy now?" I asked as Eli wrapped his arms around my waist and he whispered, "I am flattered." Then, the music lowered and Sav grabbed the microphone. "Ok, so what you have all been waiting for King and Queen…" He grabbed the envelope. I whispered to Ali… "It's probably you and Drew," I smiled at her. "I don't know…you guys are too adorable to pass up." Ali winked at Eli. I looked up at him and he just, smirked. I hated when he did that.

Then, Sav opened the envelope, "Tonight's Queen is…Clare Edwards." I started clapping when, I noticed that was me... "What?" I said laughing as Eli pushed me onto the stage. "Ok…now every Queen needs her King. Tonight's King is Eli Goldsworthy." Eli walked up and simply smirked at everyone clapping at us. "Did you do this?" I asked looking at Eli. "No…I just think everyone loves me too much." He kissed me on the lips as everyone cheered. Then, the crowd went dead silent. There was a spot light on Eli and I. I saw Eli go into his pocket? What was he doing?

I looked at Eli and he pulled out a ring box. He got down on one knee, and he smirked up at me. He opened the box and there was a beautiful ring, it was huge. I didn't know what to think. My heart was pounding out of my chest. What was he doing? "Clare…I love you. I don't want to be with anyone else. You are the one, you make my world turn. Without you, I am no one. I want to hold on to you forever and never let you go. Clare, will you marry me?"
