More Public Embarrassment?

****CLARES POV*****

Eli-gold49: more public embarrassment tonight?

I look down and smile. Eli wants to see me? Crazy talk.

Clare-e29: Is that an invitation?

I ask, trying to be as flirtatious as possible. I could imagine him sitting at his computer smiling, his regular smug smirk. I loved his smirk, it always made me wonder what he up to, what his secret was.

Eli-gold49: Do you want it to be?

I giggled putting my hands back on the keyboard about to type "of course!" Then suddenly I look back at my mom and dad. They're fighting, again. This must be the 3rd time this week? I sigh. Its only been getting worse. It sounds like my dad isn't going to the church fundraiser anymore. Fun, now I get to go with my mom. I hear a door slam. My dad is gone. My mother lets out a large sorrowful sigh.

"Mom? Is everything okay" I asked, secretly shy for what the answer may be.

"Everything is fine, just fine" my mom replies in a very frustrated voice.

I know everything is NOT fine. I hate just waiting. I know something is wrong! I just hate it!

"Do you need me to go to the church with you?" So much for my plans with Eli…

"N-no I'm fine, I'll be fine"

"Are you sure, mom?"

"Yeah honey. I'll be back around 11, 11:30 at the latest. Be good Clare!"

I know I should still probably go to the fundraiser with mom, but Eli made me want to do things I normally wouldn't. I kept telling myself that mom has friends at church she'll have a good time. I needed to see Eli. He was the only one who knew what to say when I was frustrated about my parents. He made me feel save.

"Okay, love you! Have a good time!" I say convincingly, hoping she wont come back and not find me at the house.

" Love you too!" Mom says as she shuts the door.

Whew, she's gone. I see a new message on my screen.

Eli-gold49: Oh Clarebear!... Are you there?"

I giggled at the fact that he used Alli's nickname for me.

Clare-e29: Yes I'm here! Just some family drama, sorry.

Eli-gold49: It's okay. Is everything alright with your folks? If you want to stay home I understand.

Clare-e29: They're just fighting again… but I want to get out of this place. When and where do you want to hang out tonight?

Eli-gold49: I'll pick you up at 9 o'clock sharp. We can watch some movies at my house?

I smiled. A night watching movies with Eli. Perfect.

Clare-e29: Sounds great! Cant wait, English partner.

Eli-gold49: See you later, blue eyes.

I got up from the desk and literally jumped. I jumped for joy. At that moment in time I wasn't even thinking about my parents. I was thinking that this was going to be the best night ever! I ran upstairs with the hugest smile on my face and opened my closet. What to wear?
