Chapter 12: Eli's audition

Eli's point of view:

I was sitting with Clare in the auditorium waiting for our names to be called for auditions when I got an idea. After this I should take her out to dinner at the dot. YESS! That's a perfect idea. I called Clare's name and she didn't respond. She must really be thinking. So I waved my hand in front of her face.

"Clare yoo-hoo anyone home" I asked. Then her attention refocused on what I was saying before.

"Sorry I was thinking. What were you saying before?" she asked me.

"Jeeze Clare I thought you of all people would be more attentive." I said while placing a hand over my heart and looking away dramatically. She just glared at me so I went back to my original thought.

"Any way as I was saying before you got lost in your imagination." I saw her roll her pretty blue eyes which made me smirk. "I was wondering if you would like to go get something at the dot after this because it will be like 6:00? It's okay if you don't wan-" I was rambling so she cut me off.

"Eli shut up and listen." I did what she said looked at her.

"I would love to go to the dot after this, by then I'd be starving." That made me smile.

"Is this a date?" she asked. I smirked and leaned my face 5 inches away from hers and whispered huskily

"Do you want it to be?" I could've sworn I saw her shudder. I was staring deeply in to her blue eyes with my green. They clashed until she blushed and looked down. I smirked triumphantly. When her head was down I moved 3 inches closer so she could feel my hot breath on her flushed face.

"Well Blue-Eyes do you want it to be?" I asked waiting for an answer. She smiled and replied by saying

"Well I don't have a choice on whether it's a date or not. I mean you asked me." She said.

"Your right you don't have a choice. It's a date." I said smoothly.

"Just so you know I don't kiss on the first date." She was still playing hard to get until she said something that made me feel like on top of the world, "Most of the time" she replied shyly.

"Most of the time? Does that mean I still have a chance?" I asked her.

"Oh ha ha. But if you do something to me that I don't like I'll have Fitz beat your ass." She said. I would never do anything Clare wouldn't like me doing. I like her too much to lose her when I'm so close.

"Clare your heartless turning family against each other." I said again faking hurt.

"Bite me why dont'cha? Just keep in mind I bite back." She said while slamming her jaw shut. I was about to reply something along the lines of 'I like a girl that bites' but the stupid director Mr. Smith had to call her in. Clare was auditioning for the part of Audrey while I auditioned for the roll of Seymour. Supposedly Seymour and Audrey are in love or at least he is in love with her. 5 minutes later Clare stepped out with a smile on her face. I asked her how it went and she said it was great and that she made him smile. Then it was my turn. Oh great.

*In the bandroom with Mr. Smith.*

"Hello my name is Elijah Goldsworthy and I am here auditioning for the part of Seymour."

"Okay Elijah. You may sing when ready." I nodded my head. The song I sang was called "Grow for me". When I was singing I think I sounded all right. when I was done he nodded his head and wrote some notes.

"Thank you Eli that was good. The cast list will be posted Friday at 4:00 PM."

"Thank you Mr. Smith" I said before I walked out. Walked back to the auditorium and saw Clare smiling at me I smiled back. She walked up to me hooked her arm with mine and we were off on our date.

I know I know. This chapter probably sucked ass because I might be having a little writers block. Please review and tell me what you want to happen on their date at the dot. Drama? Or will Eli and Clare finally kiss? Your the readers so you decide.

Hugs,
