Chapter 8: Late night calls and Texting
Clare's point of view:
A week has passed and so far I have been loving Degrassi. Turns out Eli is my partner for three of my classes which are Science, English, and Drama. I've been getting a lot of texts lately. They were mostly flirty ones saying I was pretty or that I should hang out with said person. The texts were all from KC, Drew and Fitz. Eli was mainly the one calling me. Sometimes we were up till midnight talking. Alli got annoyed with all the chatter at night so she said that if I am talking on the phone with someone at night I have to be in the bathroom with the door closed. Jenna and I have become really good friends despite her peppiness. One thing that I find annoying with them both is that every time the boys aren't around they always say that I was in love with them all. I was definitely not in love with them all. But I had crushes on all four. They especially loved to tease me about my 'un dieing love' for Eli. If they weren't talking about my love for the boys, they were talking about the boys loving me. I never notice that I just make guys go 'weak in the knees' when I'm around. Maybe that's why I get hit on a lot. Alli's favorite saying has always been 'me and my girls don't just turn heads we break necks'. Just then my phone started buzzing.
Hey Clare wanna go get coffee?
From Fitz
I thought about it and thought what the heck and texted him.
Sure I'd love to go meet me at the dot in 10?
From Clare
A minute later he replied. and I started my walk for the dot. When my phone rang again.
Hey wanna hangout? ;)
Eli.
I felt bad that I had to say no but I'll just hang with him tomorrow.
Sorry but im kinda going on a 'date' but I'll make it up to you tomorrow. I promise I will
Clare
WHAT? Who are you on a date with?
Eli
Fitz. And I don't really think it's a date. All he did was ask me to hang out and grab a coffee.
Clare
For him that's a date. Why are going with him?
Eli
I kinda like him but he's not the only guy I like
Clare
Fitz was definitely not the only guy I like. I also liked Eli, KC, and Drew. But there was no way that I was gonna tell them that. I waited another minute before he responded.
Who else do you like?
Eli
I could almost feel the eagerness of this text.
People. But I'm at the dot now so I have to go. Bye.
Clare.
I approached the Dot and entered it. I saw Fitz sitting by himself at a booth near the window and I approached him. we greeted each other with a hug and he said I looked beautiful as usual. The worker named Peter walked over to our table and we ordered our drinks. I got a strawberry milkshake while he got black coffee. The server walked back behind the counter and began making our drinks. The bell on the door rang and I turned around. In walked Eli with a determined look on his face walking towards us with his eyes locked on mine.
'Oh shit! Something's about to go down' I thought as he approached our table.
Oooohhh Cliffy. What's Eli gonna say about Fitz's and Clare's 'date' ?
