Clare's POV
Waking up the next morning surprisingly wasn't a hassle. Although I came home at almost 4 AM last night and got less than 2 hours of sleep, I got up perfectly fine.
This was probably due to the fact that I can say I'm truly happy. Almost everything was going great. Alli and I are having our girl's night tomorrow and things seem to be working out well with Eli.
I'm looking forward to people's reactions at school seeing me and Eli together; as a couple. Last night, despite us getting emotional with each other, was actually perfect.
It reassured me that this relationship can work and that not every guy will turn out like KC.
Getting ready for school took me twice as long today. I wanted to make sure I looked good when I saw Eli, even if it was only school.
I picked out one of my favorite outfits.
Violet button up blouse, a cute jean skirt, and black strappy sandals.
Glancing at myself in the bathroom mirror, I thought to myself.
I'm beginning to be more and more like Alli.
I laughed at the thought because now I knew why Alli did all this every morning just to look extra good.
As I opened the door to leave my room, I grabbed my bag.
Walking into the kitchen, I snagged an apple for breakfast since I wanted to get to school.
That sounded a bit odd. I liked school most of the time, just never enough to want to leave this badly.
My mom was already in the car waiting for me. I got in the car thinking this would be a normal drive to school like any other day.
Things were silent at first when we were backing out of the driveway, so I switched on the radio. Thank God for radios.
One of my favorite songs came on; Shut Up & Kiss Me by Orianthi.
I smiled, because I could practically smell the irony.
I sang quietly with one of my favorite parts.
On paper we're a disaster.
And I'm driving you crazy, it's my little game.
I push you and you push back.
Two opposites so alike that,
Every day's a rollercoaster-
Ha. Yeah. That sounds about right, I thought grinning.
The music stopped and I turned to see that my mom had shut the radio off as we pulled up to Degrassi.
"Listen, Clare, about last night I need to tell you something." Said mom calmly.
I grimaced at the thought of our conversation about dad.
Like I said, almost everything was going great.
"Yeah?" I responded looking at her.
"Your father's moving back in today. All I ask of you is that you give him a second chance?" She gave me a pleading look.
I just want to see my mom happy again. So I guess it wouldn't hurt giving dad a second chance…
"Okay. I will." I said to my mom.
"Thank you sweetie." Mom replied and then squeezed my hand.
"Have a good day." She called as I walked up and greeted Alli.
She smiled at me weirdly before she asked "So, how was your night with Eli?"
She had dirty thoughts written all over the expression on her face.
"Is that all you ever think about?" I said jokingly as we sat down on the steps by the entrance to Degrassi.
"No but I'm curious." Alli replied still smiling.
"We talked and watched a movie and some other things…"
"Is that code for 'we had a hot make out session in his room'?" she teased.
I looked at Alli and that pretty much gave the answer away because soon enough she was practically jumping up and down.
"Oh my gosh I knew it! So tell me, was he good?"
I bit my lip and then smiled at her. "Yes!" I squealed.
Alli squealed even louder than me.
"I was provoking a lot of it though." I told her.
Alli gave me a surprised look. "You?"
"Yes me. Let's just say Saint Clare wasn't so… Saintly last night." I grinned.
"Ooooh aren't we daring?" Alli teased.
"I'm serious, Alli. That's not usually me. I don't know what's happening."
"Clare, it's not unusual to make out or make moves on your boyfriend." She replied.
Maybe Alli is right. This is all part of being a teenager. Don't get me wrong, I'm not signing a contract for Teen Mom any time soon but this is natural.
Alli and I walked into school and went to our lockers.
"I told Eli about my dad." I said, changing the subject.
She closed her locker and then turned to me.
"What happened?" she questioned.
"Well he-" Alli swiftly started walking away.
"What are you doing?" I called after her.
"Text me later!" she waved her hand and called back, still heading in the other direction.
Someone came up from behind me putting their hands over my eyes. I turned around and came face to face with Eli.
Ahhh, smart girl for leaving.
"Morning, beautiful." He grinned at me.
My stomach did a back flip as soon as I saw him.
"Well good morning to you too." I replied, a smile tugging at my lips.
He gave me a quick peck on the cheek before I closed my locker.
"Walk me to class?" I asked.
Eli put his arm around me.
"Sure thing, Blue Eyes."
As we walked down the hallway to math, my first period, people reacted exactly how I thought they would; stares and whispers.
I didn't mind much and Eli didn't seem to mind either.
When we arrived to my first class, a simple kiss goodbye turned into more than that. It was pretty much a full blown make-out session.
Well, can you blame us? We wouldn't get to see each other until lunch and then we had to wait all the way until last period, which is English.
I heard an "ahem" come from behind us when we were still kissing. I jumped and what made it even worse was the fact that Coach Armstrong, my math teacher was standing behind us with the door wide open. Everyone in class was bursting into fits of giggling.
"Care to join us Clare?" He said with an irritated expression on his face and the tone of his voice was about the same.
"See you later." Eli smirked as he walked to the class he was supposed to be in. I think he got a small kick out of that.
My cheeks reddened as I trudged into class. I could still hear everyone's giggles.
My entire math class had just seen me making out with my boyfriend in the hallway! Not exactly the best way to start off your morning.
Dear lord, this is gonna be a long day.
REVIEW? Please and thank you. :) Sorry this chapter is a little bit shorter than my others but I'll update soon.
