Thanks for all of the reviews you guys. I hope you all enjoy this chapter as much as you all enjoyed my first one. Again, I DO NOT OWN DEGRASSI OR ITS CHARACTERS.
I woke up today thinking about his green eyes, smirk, dark clothes and the way he wore his hair. Am I obsessing over him? I can't be, I just met him yesterday. There's just something about him that makes me want to get to know him better. Maybe it's because he's so mysterious. Usually I can read people, but he's different. When I look at him, I can't figure out what he's thinking at all. That's definitely an upgrade from KC. KC wasn't mysterious at all, he was just a hot head that dumped me for a perky blonde cheerleader.
I got to school to find Eli leaning on my locker. I walked up to him and said "Excuse me, your on my locker. Can you please move?" He gave me a smirk before he said "Why don't you make me? I would love to have your hands on me." I shot him a quick smile before telling him " I bet you would." With that said he gave me a once over and headed to his first class. I really do not get him. Why would he be waiting for me at my locker? How did he even know where my locker was? I have all of these questions, but no answers.
After getting my Media Immersion book from my locker I met Alli at her locker.
Claire: "Hey Alli, guess who was at my locker this morning?" she exclaimed.
Alli: "I don't know. Was it your new boyfriend, Eli?" she said sarcastically.
Claire: "How did you know?" she said amazed.
Alli: "Claire, I was joking. Did he really show up at your locker?" she said curiously.
Claire: "Yeah and he wouldn't move. He told me to move him. He said "I would love to have your hands on me." she said with a smirk.
Alli: "Uh oh Claire, it sounds like Eli has an interest in you. Let's see what he does next." she said while closing her locker.
Claire: "Yeah right. He just met me and I'm not even his type." she said as her and Alli entered their Media Immersion class.
Alli: "Why do you always do that Claire? You're a very pretty girl. Lots of guys would love to go out with you , you just come off as standoffish most of the time. When guys see you like that, they don't know whether to approach you." she said quietly so the teacher wouldn't hear them talking.
Claire: "Your right. I don't give myself enough credit, I'm just not used to guys staring at me and complimenting me." she said while turning on her computer.
Alli: "Well get used to it because it looks like you'll get a lot of attention from Eli. You have a new attitude and a new look. It's time to meet new people and experience things Claire, good and bad.
Claire sat in class thinking about what Alli had just said. She thought about it and said to herself "I'm smart, but I'm pretty too. I'm smart, but I'm pretty too." Before she knew she said it loud enough for the whole class to hear. Everyone turned to her and looked at her like she was crazy. She simply responded "I didn't mean to say that." She was so embarrassed. Although her look had changed, she was still the same Claire. The same girl that said random things in Class, obsessed over getting any grade lower than an A and the same girl that was amazed when a guy would look at her.
Class ended and Claire headed to her English class where she would see Eli. She loved his name, of course she would never admit that to anyone. She took her seat, class began and there was still no Eli. Maybe he's just late or maybe he's sick. Why do I even care? It's not like we're dating, I just met him.
Mrs. Kwan gave us our assignment. We had to read a story, write a page long summary, and then paraphrase it. Since this was the first week of school, we didn't have much work. She made it clear that the real work would start next week, but I was prepared. I always am and besides English is my best subject. It's so easy for me. I started on the assignment only to stop after the second page. I couldn't concentrate with Eli on my mind. I kept wondering where he was and why he wasn't in class. I even started to think that he wasn't in class because of me. This is what I'm talking about, he's so unpredictable. One minute he's at my locker, the next he's skipping class.
School was finally over, I was so glad because I couldn't wait to get home and write some more vampire fan fiction. It had become a hobby of mine. I got so into the vampire books that I decided to write fan fiction to pass the time.
I headed out of the front doors to find Eli in the parking lot leaning on his..hearse. I still couldn't believe that he drove a hearse of all cars. I decided to find out why he wasn't in class, so I walked up to him and said... "Why weren't you in class?"
Eli: "Hello to you too." he said obviously trying to ignore her question.
Claire: "Hi, Eli. Now why weren't you in class." she said annoyed with his games.
Eli: "Why do you want to know? Did you miss me?" he said as he walked towards her.
He got closer and closer. He got so close that Claire couldn't even speak. When she spoke, she started stuttering. He was the only guy that made her this nervous.
Claire: "I-I j-just wanted to k-know why y-you weren't in class?" she said as she got herself together.
Eli's POV: I really have an effect on her. She's always stuttering and blushing when I'm around. I might just mess with her mind a little. It'll be fun.
Eli: "Do you want a ride home?" he said motioning her toward his hearse.
Claire: "I don't know. I barely know you. " she said even though she knew despite his actions, he was a good guy.
Eli: "You know my name's Eli and I'm in your English class. That's all you need to know, for now." he said as he got into his hearse.
Claire: "I'm still not sure if I should...I." she said before Eli interrupted her.
Eli: "Are you coming or not?" he exclaimed.
Claire: "Sure." she said as she got into his car.
I got into his car and immediately started looking around. This was the first time that I had been in a car with a boy that I didn't know. Heck this was the first time that I had been in a hearse. I looked into the back of the car. He must've known what I was looking for because he spoke up.
Eli: "Were you expecting to find a coffin?" he said sarcastically.
Claire: "No I was just looking around. I've never been in a hearse before. So why did you get a hearse instead of a regular car?" she said.
Why did I even ask him that? I'm sure people ask him the same question all of the time.
Eli: "I don't know. I just wanted one. I've always been different from kids my age, I've never been the type of person that follows the crowd." he said while getting lost in Claire blue eyes. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately, but he couldn't help it.
Eli started up his car and pulled out of the school parking lot.
Eli: "Where do you live?" he asked.
Claire: "I live at 324 Collins Way. It's a big blue house." she said trying not to look at him because she knew it wouldn't be long before she was blushing again.
A couple of minutes later, they had arrived at her house.
Eli: "Here we are. 324 Collins Way." he said as he turned towards Claire, getting caught up in her eyes once again.
Claire: "Why do you keep staring at me like that?" she said while looking directly into his green eyes.
Eli: "Your just too pretty, Claire. I can't help but look at you. Can you blame me?" he said waiting for her response.
Claire: "Thanks, but I'm just not used to guys giving me compliments." she said.
Eli: "Well get used to it because I might throw you a couple every now and then." he said while he shot her a smile.
Claire: "Okay. So you never told me why you weren't in class today." she said as she started to think that he was just avoiding her question.
Eli: "I'll tell you tomorrow. Or the next day. Maybe not. Well I'll just tell you now." he said as he watched her expression change from curious to confused.
Claire: "So I guess your not going to tell me." she said.
Eli: "I'm still thinking about that. Ask me again tomorrow." he said before he started grinning. He just loved playing with her.
Claire: "I should go. Thanks for the ride Elijah." she said as she got out of his car.
Eli: "It's Eli." he yelled to her as she made her way up the driveway.
Claire: "I know, but I think I'll call you Elijah anyway. Bye." she said before she entered her house.
Eli watched as she entered her house. He sat in his car thinking about her for a minute before he pulled off.
Eli's POV: She's really something. She can be very shy, but she can also be very sassy. I like her. She's not the girl that I would normally go after, but there's just something about her. I want to find out more about her. I want to know her likes, dislikes, dreams, I want to know everything about her. It might be hard to break her out of her shell, but I'm always up for a challenge.
Claire hung up her jacket and ran upstairs. Eli just gave me a ride home. He told me that he was different and he didn't like following other people. We are two completely different people. He does everything he can to be different while I just try not to draw attention to myself. I'm glad we're so different, but that might be a problem later on. He seems spontaneous while I plan everything. I never do anything without thinking about it first. Maybe I should just do things instead of analyzing everything. It'll be hard, but I'm determined to have new experiences. Hopefully some of those will involve Eli.
I hope this chapter was good. I had never gotten so many reviews from a story so fast. Thanks again for all of the views and reviews for my story. Keep reading and keep reviewing.
