Yes guys they are still in 7th grade. They are very mature for their age.
Eli's POV
"Me and your girlfriend had fun canning last night." I said, walking up to KC.
"What the hell is canning?" He asked.
Then Clare came up to us with a smile on her face.
"What the hell were you and Eli doing last night?" KC yelled at her. Oh no. That's not what I wanted.
"Excuse me?" She asked, then looked at me and back to KC.
"You and him were "canning" last night!" He assumed canning was something bad, of course.
Then I heard a giggle escape Clare's soft plump lips.
"You think this is funny?" KC yelled.
"Dude calm down." I told him, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Calm down? Calm down? Ugh!" Then he stormed off.
"Well that went well." I sarcastically said.
"Yeah, well.. Whatever." She said.
"What's wrong?" I asked her, sitting next to her.
"I wanna break up with him. I don't deserve to be treated like this! I mean.. I'm only in 7th grade, for christ's sake!" She yelled.
On the inside I was saying "YESSSS SHE IS SINGLE!"
On the outside I said, "No, you don't deserve to be treated that way. Like I said... I'm always here."
I leaned over and gave her a hug. I could smell her hair. She smelled like strawberries. I sniffed in her scent.
"Eli, are you smelling me? Do I smell?" She asked, then stuck her face in her shirt to see if she smelled. She was so cute.
"No, no, you actually smell really good, Edwards." I said.
"Oh, now the compliments come out." She said sarcastically.
"When the cat's away, the mice will play." I said with a smirk.
"So KC's the cat?" She asked.
I rolled my eyes. "Wow, you catch on fast, Edwards." I sarcastically said.
"Soo.. You like me?" She asked.
I was dumbstruck. Was she seriously asking if I liked her? Of course i like her! Has she not gotten the hints?
"Of course, I like you, Clare. More than anyone else I've ever known." I said with a smile. I went to lean into her.
She leaned in, too. Our faces were inches away when we heard someone cough.
KC.
"What the fuck, Clare?" He yelled.
"Watch your language." She whispered to him.
"I don't care about my language! Clare, we are done! Seriously done! I'm tired of coming second to Eli!" He yelled.
A smirk came across my face.
"It's always been him, KC.." She whispered.
"So done.. I'm so done!" He yelled and walked away.
"Finally. I never thought he would leave." I smirked to her.
She had a smile on her face and walked away.
I ran after her. "What does this mean?" I asked.
"You'll see..." She said and then walked away.
I was stunned.
Clare's POV
I'm excited. For once it isn't him keeping me on my toes.
Tonight I'm going to sneak in his room.
I walked out of school. Then I heard feet come running after me. I like this 'chasing' game, we're having.
"Let's walk home together." Eli came up and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Slow your roll there, Goldsworthy." I said with a laugh and removed his arm from my waist.
"What? Why?" He asked.
"You'll see.." I repeated myself from earlier.
A smirk appeared on his face.
"I'll get you too give in, Clare-Bear." He said with a smile.
"Not after calling me Clare-Bear, you won't." I replied.
"See ya at school tomorrow, Edwards." He said, then walked into his house.
I smirked to myself. "Or.. Rather.. Tonight." I thought.
I walked inside to quietness. Weird.. No fighting.
"Mom? Dad?" I called out.
Nobody answered. Hmm. Maybe they're out.
I sat on my bed and looked out the window. Eli sat on his bed and started taking off his shirt. I couldn't help but stare. He took of his shirt and threw it on the floor.
I was too absorbed in his abs that I didn't realize that I heard a fake "Ring Ring, Edwards." It was Eli on the "can".
"Y-yes?" I asked into the can.
"I realize I have great abs, Clare, but my sister's room is right under mine and she said that you are staring, practically drooling." He said with a laugh.
"I am not!" I said, defensively.
"Yeah, alright. Just be more suddle when you want to stare at me, next time. My sister is like my own personal video camera." He laughed.
"I'm leaving, now." I said.
"Embarrassed, Clare-Bear?" He asked.
"Goodbye, Elijah." I said, and put the can down.
I walked away and stared to take off my jacket. I realized my window was still open. Eli was on the other side staring at me. I went over to my IM account and IMed Eli.
ClareE-23: You know.. The no staring rule applies for you too.
EliGold-49: Does it now?
ClareE-23: I would appreciate it if you didn't look thru my window, Elijah.
EliGold-49: No promises.
ClareE-23: Bye, Eli.
EliGold-49: See ya, Blue eyes.
I logged off and got ready to sneak in Eli's room.
I looked in his driveway and saw that his parents weren't home.
I saw a tree next to his window and started to climb.
I grabbed a branch and hit his window.
He appeared and said, "Miss me already?"
I jumped in and looked around. His room looked totally different from when I could see it across the way.
"Nice room." I said.
"Don't act like you haven't stared at me while I was taking my shirt off in here." He said with a smirk.
I did the unexpected. I leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and slipped my tongue in his mouth. He slipped his tongue in my mouth.
We stood there kissing for about 10 minutes. I pulled away and saw a huge grin on his face.
"See ya tomorrow, Eli." I walked out of his room and went back to my house.
From across the way I could see him still standing there from shock. And I loved every bit of it.
Review Please :)
